Answer:
6%
Explanation:
some information is missing:
market price of preferred stock = $50
preferred stock dividend = $3
preferred stocks' cost of capital = preferred stock dividend / market price of preferred stock = $3 / $50 = 0.06 = 6%
Preferred stocks' cost of capital is not affected by any corporate tax rates, since preferred dividends are considered paid in capital and cannot be deducted as interests in the income statement.
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this ________________gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should ______________________.
Answer: d. inflationary; decrease government purchases or increase taxes
Explanation:
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this inflationary gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should decrease government purchases or increase taxes.
The Real GDP is greater than the Natural real GDP which is the potential GDP. When that happens the Economy is said to be overheated and producing above its limits as Aggregate Demand is above Aggregate Supply.
To combat this the Government according to Keynes should embark on policy that will reduce economic activity. The Government can use Contractionary Fiscal Policy that will see it reduce its spending and/or increase taxes. Both of these will have the effect of reducing the amount of money in the economy left for both investment and consumption and cause a fall in the Aggregate Demand.
A firm pays a current dividend of $1.00 which is expected to grow at a rate of 5% indefinitely. If current value of the firm’s shares is $35.00, what is the required return based on the constant growth dividend discount model (DDM)?
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
A firm pays a current dividend of $1
The growth rate is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The current value of the firm's share is $35
Therefore, the required return using the constant growth discount dividend model can be calculated as follows
K = 1×(1+0.05)/35 + 0.05
K= 1×1.05/35 + 0.05
= 1×0.03 + 0.05
= 0.03 + 0.05
= 0.08×100
= 8%
Hence the required return is 8%

The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $376,000 of $1 par common stock and $560,000 par of 7% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $66,000 in 2021 after paying $36,000 cash dividends in each of 2020 and 2019. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021
Answer:
The amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021 is $20,400
Explanation:
Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend = (560,000*7%*2 - 36,000 - 36000)
Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend = 78,400 - 36,000 - 36,000
Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend = $6,400
Current Preferred Stock Dividend = 560,000 * 7%
Current Preferred Stock Dividend = $39,200
The amount of dividends common shareholders = $66,000 - $39,200 - $6,400
The amount of dividends common shareholders = $20,400
All of the following statements concerning the characteristics of aggregate planning for services is true except
A. Group of answer choices
B. Demand is difficult to predict
C. Most services can be inventoried
D. Capacity is easy to predict
E. Labor is the most constraining resource
Answer: D. Capacity is easy to predict
Explanation:
Aggregate planning for services involves organising the business areas of companies engaging in service provision or operation companies that also provide a service.
It is generally held that demand is difficult to predict and most services can be inventoried. It is also held that labor is the most constraining resource.
However, capacity in aggregate planning for services is not easy to predict. This is because services are not standadized and are instead varied and mostly unique. Therefore knowing the capacity to give to a service becomes hard to predict.
Muckenthaler Company sells product 2005WSC for $30 per unit. The cost of one unit of 2005WSC is $27, and the replacement cost is $26. The estimated cost to dispose of a unit is $3, and the normal profit is 40% of selling price. At what amount per unit should product 2005WSC be reported, applying lower-of-cost-or-market
Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

Idaho Industries Inc. is considering a project that has an initial aftertax outlay or aftertax cost of $450,000. The respective future cash inflows from its fiveyear project for years 1 through 5 are $95,000 each year. Idaho expects an additional cash flow of $60,000 in the fifth year. The firm uses the IRR method and has a hurdle rate of 10%. Will Idaho accept the project? A. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 10%. B. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 5%. C. Idaho rejects the project because it has an IRR less than 10%. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-450,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000
IRR = 5.62%
Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate
To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Bluegill Company sells 7,500 units at $320 per unit. Fixed costs are $120,000 and income from operations is $1,560,000. Determine the following: Round the contribution margin ratio to two decimal places.
a. Variable cost per unit $
b. Unit contribution margin $ per unit
c. Contribution margin ratio %
Answer:
a) $96 per unit
b) $224 per unit
c) 70%
Explanation:
We will have to compute variable cost and contribution margin
Sales $2,400,000
7,500 × 320
Less; Variable cost $720,000
Contribution margin $1,680,000
Less : Fixed cost $120,000
Operating income. $1,560,000
a) Variable cost per unit
= Total variable cost ÷ Total number of units
= $720,000 ÷ 7,500 units
= $96 per unit
b) Unit contribution margin
= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $320 - $96
= $224
c) Contribution margin ratio
= (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit × 100
= ($320 - $96) ÷ $320 × 100
= $224 ÷ 320 × 100
= 70%
World Class Rings produces class rings. Its best-selling model has a direct materials standard of 16 grams of a special alloy per ring. This special alloy has a standard cost of $63.30 per gram.

2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The_____direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a______. As a result, the company______quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the_____quantity (efficiency) variance.
Answer:
1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.
= $1,061,760 / 16,800 grams = $63.20 per gram
2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
direct materials price variance = (AP - SP) x AQ = ($63.20 - $63.30) x 16,300 = -$1,630 favorable variance
3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
direct materials quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $63.30 x (16,300 - 16,000) = $18,990 unfavorable variance
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The FAVORABLE direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. As a result, the company USED MORE ALLOW THAN STANDARD quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the UNFAVORABLE quantity (efficiency) variance.
Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).
Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.
Duerr company makes a $73,000, 90-day, 10% cash loan to Ryan Co. The maturity value of the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer: $74,825
Explanation:
Maturity value is the amount that a borrower will pay to the lender when the loan matures.
Based on the above analysis, the interest will be:
= $73,000 × 10% × 90/360
= $73,000 × 0.1 × 0.25
= $1825
Maturity value will now be the addition of the principal and the interest. This will be:
= $73,000 + $1825
= $74,825

IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:
Answer:
The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings
Explanation:
Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80
Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50
Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.
Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90
Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $286,200. Its single product sells for $163 per unit, and variable costs are $110 per unit. Compute the level of sales in units needed to produce a target (pretax) income of $106,000.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $286,200
Selling price= $163 per unit
Unitary variable costs= $110
Desired profit= $106,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (286,200 + 106,000) / (163 - 110)
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units
McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.70 per share with the first dividend exactly 14 years from today. If the required return is 3.6 percent, what is the current price of the stock?
Answer:
$64.89
Explanation:
Calculation for the current price of the stock
First step is to find the preference stock value at end of 13 years
Using this formula
P13= Annual dividend/Required return
Let plug in the formula
P13=$3.70/.036
P13= $102.78
The second step is to calculate for the current price of the stock
Using this formula
P0= P13/(1+Required return)^Dividend years
Let plug in the formula
P0= $102.78/(1 + .036)^13
P0=$102.78/(1.036)^13
P0=$102.78/1.5837
P0=$64.89
Therefore the current price of the stock will be $64.89
A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?
Answer:
Variance of the return = 0.01983
Explanation:
[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1
Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%
Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)
Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2
Variance = 0.01983

A 12-year capital lease specifies equal minimum annual lease payments. Part of this payment represents interest and part represents a reduction in the net lease liability. The portion of the minimum lease payment in Year 10 applicable to the reduction of the net lease liability should be:
Answer:
More than in year 8
Explanation:
A capital lease is a type of lease in which the lesser financed only the asset and all other ownership rights would be transferred to the lessee
In the given situation, the 12-year capital lease is equivalent to the annual lease payment at minimum cost
This payment involves the interest and the reduction amount
Now in the year 10 the reduction made to the lease liability should be more than in the year 8

A producer can produce a product at a variable cost per unit of $7. The producer can sell the product for $10 each. If the fixed cost is $60,000.
Required:
a. How many units must the producer sell to break-even?
b. What is revenue at 35,000 units?
c. What is total cost at 35,000 units?
d. How many units must the producer sell in order to earn a profit of $60,000?
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
Explanation:
a.
The break even in units is the number of units that must be sold in order to earn enough total revenue as to cover total costs. The break even in units can be calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 10 - 7 =$3
Break even in units = 60000 / 3
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue = Price * Quantity
Revenue at 35000 units = 10 * 35000
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total cost (35000 units) = 7 * 35000 + 60000
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
To calculate the units required to earn a target profit, we simply add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units equation.
Thus, the number of units required to earn a target profit of $60000 is,
Units required for target profit = (60000 + 60000) / 3
Units required for target profit = 40000 units

As an initial transaction in a new margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $20 per share. After the customer deposits the appropriate margin, the credit balance in the account will be:
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $2,000 = $1,500 . However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 required to open the account, hence $2,000 must be deposited.
Therefore, the credit balance in the account will be;
= 2,000 + 2,000 ( 100 × $20)
= $4,000
