Answer:
Fowler, Inc.a. Current price = Current Dividend/r - g
where r = Required Rate of Return
and g = growth rate
= $2.70/0.09 - 0.045
= $2.70/0.045
= $60
b. The price in six years' time, growing at 4.5%
= Current price x (1 + g)^6
= $60 x 1.30226
= $78.14
c. The price in thirteen years' time, growing at 4.5%
= $60 x 1.772196
= $106.33
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current Dividend = $2.70
Dividends' constant growth rate = 4.5% p.a. indefinitely
Investors' required rate of return = 9%
Fowler, Inc.'s stock prices calculated using the dividend, growth rate, and investors required rate of return gives the intrinsic values of the stock for the current year, in six and thirteen years' time. The intrinsic value calculation eliminates the need to value the stock subjectively.

Cost of goods sold 180,000
Gross profit 220,000
Expenses (including $10,000 interest and $20,000 income taxes) 80,000
Net income $ 140,000
Additional information:________.
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2020, was 16,000 shares, and 24,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2020.
2. The market price of Myers stock was $9.59 in 2020.
3. Cash dividends of $19,600 were paid, $3,000 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2020. (Round Earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.65, and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 6.8 or 6.8%.)
(a) Earnings per share $
(b) Price-earnings ratio times
(c) Payout ratio %
(d) Times interest earned times
Answer:
a. $6.85
b. 1.4 times
c. 11.9%
d. 17 times
Explanation:
a) Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding in the end)/2
= (16,000 +24,000) /2
= 20,000 shares
Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred stock dividend)/Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding
= (140,000 - 3,000) / 20,000
= 137,000/20,000
= $6.85
b) Price earnings ratio = Market price of 1 common share/Earnings per share
= 9.59 / 6.85
= 1.4 times
c) Payout ratio = Cash dividends on common stock/Net income
= 16,600 / 140,000
= 0.11857
= 11.9%
d) Times interest earned = (Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense
= (140,000 + 10,000 + 20,000)/10,000
= 170,000 / 10,000
= 17 times
Mangum Co. is a large company that segments its business into cost and profit centers. The Cost center for the manufacture of Product M2T incurred the following costs in October:
Direct Labor: $25/unit
Direct Materials: $80/unit
Variable Overhead: $15/unit
Traceable Fixed Costs: $62,000
Common Fixed Costs: $100,000
Sales were 2,000 units in October. Each unit sells for $210. The M2T Department is being evaluated on overall profitability. In September, the department margin was $100,000. By how much did the department margin increase or decrease in October?
a. $100,000 decrease
b. $118,000 increase
c. $18,000 increase
d. $82,000 decrease
Answer: c. $18,000 increase
Explanation:
Department margin was $100,000 in September.
October Margin = Sales - Variable Costs - Traceable Fixed Costs
= (2,000 *( 210 - 25 - 80 - 15) ) - 62,000
= (2,000 * 90) - 62,000
= $118,000
= October Margin - September Margin
= 118,000 - 100,000
= $18,000 increase

Explanation:
A company's income statement is one of the three financial statements prepared by the entity at the end of its fiscal period. The statement compares the company's revenue with the expenses. After deducting the total expenses from the total revenue, the net income or loss is obtained. But before arriving at the net income or loss, there are other profit points that are usually calculated. The first is the gross profit, which is the difference between the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. It shows the ability of the management to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of goods sold and make a profit from its trading or primary activities.
The next profit point is the Earnings before Interests and Taxes (EBIT). This is an important index for checking the financial performance of a company. The next is the Taxable Income on which the tax rate is determined and paid to government as Company Income Tax. After deducting the tax expense from the pre-tax income, the final profit point is the After-Tax Income or the Net Income. This determines the dividends policy and the share of retained earnings of the entity.

eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit?
Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.

n the cash flow information for the Ping Kings project, Ping spent $300,000 for research and development of the golf clubs. Ping's tax rate is 40%. How much of this cost should be included in the initial (t = 0) cash flow for this project
Answer: C. $0
Explanation:
When including initial costs in a project's cash-flow, the relevant costs are those that henceforth will be spent on the project. Sunk costs are not to be included because they have already been incurred and cannot be recovered.
Research and Development costs have already been incurred and so are sunk costs. Hence they are not to be included in the initial cash-flow for the project.
The amount of the cost that should be included in the initial (t = 0) cash flow for Ping Kings' Project is D. $300,000.
This is a cash outlay (outflow). It bears a negative value. The initial cash flow cannot be $120,000, $180,000, or $0 because of Ping's tax rate of 40%. Under the FASB, Research and Development costs are capitalized.
Secondly, tax is not applied on capital investment but its net income.

A company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: What portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is a possible match of the complete question:
a company purchased property for a building site. the costs associated with the property were:
purchase price $175,00
real estate commisions $15,000
legal fees 800
expenses of clearing the land 2,000
expenses to remove old building 1,000
what portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?
Answer:
cost allocated to land = $193,800
cost allocated to new building = $0
Explanation:
The expenses associated with the ost of land purchase are all the necessary expenses made in the purchase of the land and in getting the land ready for use. These include legal fees, cost of clearing the land, cost of removing old structures etc. Therefore cost allocated to land is calculated as follows:
cost of land = purchase price + real estate commissions + legal fees + expenses of clearing the land + expenses to remove old building.
cost of land = 175,000 + 15,000 + 800 + 2,000 + 1,000 = $193,800
∴ cost of land = $193,800
cost of new building = $0
There is no transaction associated directly with setting up the new building, all the costs were associated with the acquisition of the land, hence the cost os the new building is $0

Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:
Answer:
Initial value of building = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000
Explanation:
The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.
The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.
The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:
Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)
Where, from the questio;
Lump-sum price = $9,000,000
FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:
Building fair value = $4,500,000
Land fair value = $3,000,000
Land fair value = $2,500,000
TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:
Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000
The accountant for Mandarin Company is preparing the company's statement of cash flows for the fiscal year just ended. The following information is available:
Retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year $949,000
Net income for the year 295,000
Cash dividends declared for the year 55,000
Retained earnings balance at the end of the year 1,397,000
Cash dividends payable at the beginning of the year 12,600
Cash dividends payable at the end of the year 14,900
What is the amount of cash dividends paid that should be reported in the financing section of the statement of cash flows?
a. $55,000.
b. $57,300.
c. $82,500.
d. $2,300.
e. $52,700.
Answer: e. $52,700
Explanation:
Cash Dividend to be paid = Cash dividends payable at the beginning of the year + Cash dividends declared for the year - Cash dividends payable at the end of the year
= 12,600 + 55,000 - 14,900
= $52,700
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
Midwest Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $85,000 with a $7,000 residual value and a ten-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of $20,210 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,130 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent. %
Answer:
17.89%
Explanation:
Calculation Determine the average rate of return on the equipment
Using this formula
Average rate of return =Avarage annual income /Average investment
Where,
Avarage annual income=Annual saving - Annual depreciation- Annual operating costs
Average investment= (Beginning costs + Residual value)÷2
Let plug in the formula
Average rate of return=$20,210 - ($85,000- $7,000)÷10 years-$4,130/($85,000+$7,000)÷2
Average rate of return=$20,210-($78,000÷10)-$4,180/($92,000)÷2
Average rate of return=$20,210-$7,800-$4,180/$46,000
Average rate of return=$8,230/$46,000
Average rate of return=0.1789*100
Average rate of return=17.89%
Therefore the average rate of return on the equipment will be 17.89%
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
This can be calculated as using the formula for calculating the average rate of return as follows:
Average rate of return = Average annual income / Average investment in equipment .................. (1)
To use equation (1), we first calculate the following:
Annual cost saving = $20,210
Annual depreciation = (Equipment cost - Residual value) / Useful number of years = ($85,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,800
Annual operating and energy costs = $4,130
Average annual income = Annual cost saving - Annual depreciation - Annual operating and energy costs = $20,210 - $7,800 - $4,130 = $8,280
Average investment in equipment = (Equipment cost + Residual value) / 2 = $46,000
Substituting the values for Average annual income and Average investment in equipment into equation (1), we have:
Average rate of return = $8,280 / $46,000 = 0.18, or 18%

If a firm has a service that is valuable, rare, and costly-to-imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will
Answer: the firm will have a temporary competitive advantage
Explanation: The firm in question would have a temporary competitive advantage. Competitive advantage describes something that places a company or business or a person above the competition such as value, rarity, difficult/costly-to-imitate amongst others. However, where a substitute is already in existence for such service, then the firm would have a temporary competitive advantage.
When the Federal Reserve buys long term MBS and Treasury securities from banks and announces its intention to keep buying these assets in large quantities for a long time the effect on commercial banks is to increase the value of fixed income securities that are not sold and at the same time to lower the interest spread between new loans originated and the cost of financing these loans. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Since, Federal reserve purchased long term MBS in order to pay the less market interest rate and this will cause a rise in the amount of income i.e fixed securities. Also, due to less market interest rate, the financing cost is less and at the same time interest spread is narrower as it provides more liquidity
Therefore the given statement is true
Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region. 4. Prepare a new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that you computed in requirements 2 and 3. Use the same format as shown above. What is Crossfire’s net operating income (loss) in your new segmented income statement? 5. Do you think that Crossfire should allocate its common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region?
Complete Question:
Crossfire Company segments its business into two regions - East and West. The company prepared a contribution format segmented income statement as shown below:
Total Company East West
Sales $900,000 $600,000 $300,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 225,000 120,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $84,000 $70,000 $14,000
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income $25,000
Instructions: (As given).
Answer:
Crossfire Company1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
Sales = $816,000
Total costs = Variable costs + Traceable fixed costs
= $675,000 + $141,000
= $816,000
2. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $530,000
Total costs = $530,000 ($480,000 + 50,000)
3. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $286,000
Total costs = $286,000 ($195,000 + 91,000)
4. A new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that are computed in requirements 2 and 3:
Total Company East West
Sales $816,000 $530,000 $286,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 141,000 50,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $0 $0 $0
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income/(loss) ($59,000)
Crossfire's net operating income (loss) in the new segmented income statement is: $59,000
5. I think that Crossfire should allocate the common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region.
This ensures that Crossfire does not run into net operating loss, company-wide. The segmented sales revenues for the regions can be used to allocate the common fixed expenses. Other suitable bases are traceable fixed expense, number of sales and administrative staff, or activity cost pools, using activity-based costing technique.
Explanation:
a) Break-even point in sales dollars is the sales point at which Crossfire's sales revenue will be equal to the total costs. At this point, Crossfire will not make any profit or incur any loss.
The Matterhorn Corporation is trying to choose between the following two mutually exclusive design projects:
Year Cash Flow (I) Cash Flow (II)
0 –$87,000 –$55,000
1 36,900 11,700
2 47,000 34,500
3 27,000 28,500
Requirement 1:
(a) If the required return is 10 percent, what is the profitability index for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations). Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
(b) If the required return is 10 percent and the company applies the profitability index decision rule, which project should the firm accept?
Requirement 2:
(a) If the required return is 10 percent, what is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places .
Answer:
PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065
PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101
b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher
NPV for 1 = $5,673.93
NPV for 2 = $5,561.23
Explanation:
profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
for the first project
Cash flow in year 0 = –$87,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 36,900
Cash flow in year 2 = 47,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 27,000
I = 10%
NPV = $5,673.93
for the second project
Cash flow in year 0 = –$55,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 11,700
Cash flow in year 2 = 34,500
Cash flow in year 3 = 28,500
I = 10%
NPV = $5,561.23
PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065
PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101
b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher

Murray Company reports net income of $770,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 350,000 shares. Compute its basic earnings per share.
Answer:
EPS = 2.2
Explanation:
Earning per share is the amount due to each of the ordinary shareholders after settlement of interest due on loans , preferred dividends and tax.
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders ÷ Units of shares
Where ;
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders = Net income - Preferred dividends
EPS = $770,000 - 0 ÷ 350,000 shares
EPS = $2.2
Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 2016. During 2016, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specific construction debt, and $20,000 on other borrowings. Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 2016 was $40,000. What amount of interest should Cole capitalize?
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
The accounting procedure involved in the above is that one picks the lower between the actual interest incurred and the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures for PPE.
The actual interest incurred on specific construction debt and other borrowings
= $50,000 + $20,000
= $70,000
Since the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure for the building is $40,000 , the lower between the actual interest incurred and interest on weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure is $40,000, hence will be the capitalized amount.
Which of the following approaches should the Fed use if it experiences large lags and mistakes in monetary policy?
a. Discretionary policy
b. An eclectic approach
c. Fixed rules
d. Fiscal policy
Answer:
C. Fixed rules.
Explanation:
This is simply a policy that is seen to be a monetary or in some cases fiscal; they are said to be automated in most of its cases and are based on the criteria that are predetermined.
In most cases, these policies are seen to be binding and also categorically constrain officials' policy choices based on certain predetermined criteria to direct them toward serving the public interest.
Many cases by policymakers made this policy to be put in place because most of them generally cannot bind their own future choices, also fixed policy rules usually have to be enforced by some kind of higher authority in order to be binding etc.
