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.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Lewis Company’s standard labor cost of producing one unit of Product DD is 3.20 hours at the rate of $12.50 per hour. During August, 42,600 hours of labor are incurred at a cost of $12.65 per hour to produce 13,200 units of Product DD.
A. Compute the total labor variance.
B. Compute the labor price and quantity variances.
C. Compute the labor price and quantity variances, assuming the standard is 3.5 hours of direct labor at $12.85 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,890 Favorable

b. The labor price variance and quantity variance are $6,300 Favorable and $4,500 Favorable respectively.

c. The labor price and quantity variance is $8,520 Unfavorable and $46,260 Unfavorable respectively.

Explanation:

a. The computation of Total labor variance

= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)

= (42,600 × $12.65) - ( 13,200 units × 3.2 × $12.5)

= $538,890 - $528,000

= $10,890F

b. The computation of the Labor price variance

= Actual hours × ( Actual rate - Standard rate)

= 42,600 × ( $12.65 - $12.5)

= 42,000 × $0.15

= $6,300 F

The computation of Labor quantity variance

= Standard rate × ( Actual hours - Standard hours)

= $12.5 per hour × ( 42,600 hours - 42,240 hours )

= $12.5 per hour × 360 hours

= $4,500 F

c. The computation of Labor price variance

= Actual hours × ( Actual rate - Standard rate)

= 42,600 × ( $12.65 - $12.85 )

= 42,600 × - $0.2

= $8,520 Unfavorable

The computation of Labor quantity variance

= Standard rate × ( Actual hours - Standard hours)

= $12.85 per unit × ( 42,600 hours - 46,200 hours)

= $12.85 per unit × - $3,600

= $46,260 Unfavorable.

If the government wants to raise tax revenue, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? Why?
a. granola bars.
b. cigarettes.
c. toilet paper.
d. automobile tires.
e. bird feeders.

Answers

Answer:

B,C

Explanation:

An excise tax is actually a tax that is levied on a good at purchase.

Cigarettes and tissue paper are good candidates for excise duty. This is because of the fact that both goods are inelastic. There would be no decrease in their consumption if an excise tax is placed on them. People would still purchase them. Tissue paper has no substitute while cigarette would still have buyers regardless of an increase in price.

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $145,000 and a beta of 1.31. You have another $58,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.19. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this

Answers

Answer: 0.89

Explanation:

The total portfolio beta is a weighted average of the constituent security betas.

145,000 + 58,000 = $203,000

The total portfolio beta of 203,000 should have a beta of 1.19.

Proportion of New investment = 58,000/203,000

= 28.57%

Proportion of old portfolio = 145,000/203,000

= 71.43%

(0.7143 * 1.31) + (0.2857 * x) = 1.19

0.9357 + 0.2857x = 1.19

0.2857x = ‭0.2543‬

x= 0.89

Answers

Answer:

Trading blocks are groups of countries who form trade agreements between themselves. Trading blocks can include

Free trade areas – elimination of tariffs between economies in the trading block

Customs union – free trade area + a common external tariff with non-members

Economic union/Single market – Customs union + common rules and regulations.

Different types of trading blocks

free-trade-customs-union

Trading blocks have become increasingly influential for world trade.

They have advantages in enabling free trade between geographically close countries. This can lead to lower prices, increased export potential, higher growth, economies of scale and greater competition.

However, it can lead to compromise as countries pool economic sovereignty. Also, the move to free trade tends to create winners and losers – with some domestic industries losing out to lower-cost imports.

Examples of Global trading blocks

Free_Trade_Areas

Free trade areas

European Union – The most integrated trading block. The EU27 have free trade and common regulations and are part of a customs union.

NAFTA – North Atlantic Free Trade Association.  A free trade area between Canada, US and Mexico

ASEAN Free Trade Area Free trade area in South East Asia founded 1992. Includes: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.

SAFTA South Asia free trade area based around the Indian sub-continent. Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Mercosur – a southern American trading block formed in 1991. Includes full members of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With associate members including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador. Developed from free trade area to become customs union.

African Union 55 countries of the continent of Africa. Created to forge closer political and economic ties. It has aspirations to become a free trade area.

Difference between free trade area and customs union

A customs union has a common external tariff on imports. This means that it doesn’t matter which country the imports enter – because all countries have the same import tariff. This means there doesn’t need to be internal checking on ‘Rules of origin‘. For example, if imports from Africa enter Spain then if goods travel across the border from Spain to France, there is no need to check whether goods are paying the correct import tariff – because the import tariffs are all the same.

A disadvantage of joining a customs union is that a country is not able to pursue its own independent trade deals. However, since trade deals are complicated and take several years, there is an advantage to negotiating trade deals as part of a regional trade block – rather than separate individual countries.

Advantages of trading blocks

Tariff removal leads to trade creation – lower prices for consumers and greater opportunity for exporters.

Increased trade enables increased specialisation – which gives benefits of economies of scale (lower average costs from increased output)

gravity-theory

Catch-up effects. Countries joining a rich trading block can benefit from inward investment and increased trade opportunities. Countries in Eastern Europe have made considerable progress in catching up with average income levels in Western Europe.

Gravity theory of trade suggests that trade with countries in close proximity is the most important due to lower transport and similar cultural and economic ties.

Gives small countries a greater say in global trade agreements

Increased competition. The removal of tariffs creates greater choice for consumers. Therefore domestic firms have a greater incentive to cut costs to remain competitive.

Disadvantages of trading blocks

Joining a customs union may lead to increased import tariffs – which leads to trade diversion. For example, when the UK joined the EEC customs union, it required higher import tariffs on imports from former Commonwealth countries. This led to switch in demand towards higher-cost European countries and caused loss of business for Commonwealth countries

Increased interdependence on economic performance in other countries in trading block. If Eurozone goes into recession, it will affect all countries in the Eurozone. However, this is almost inevitable even if countries are not formally in a trading block due to a close relationship between trade cycles in different countries.

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons. Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits of using standard costs?
a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made
b. to estimate the cost of inventory
c. to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead
d. to control costs

Answers

Answer:

a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made.

Explanation:

Standard cost in business management refers to the amount of money a product is supposed to cost in manufacturing it. It is a management tool that can be used to measure efficiency in the level of output or production of goods and services at a specific period of time.

In Financial accounting, the difference between the actual cost of each unit of a product and its standard cost is referred to as variance. In order to determine the standard cost of a product, the expected quantity of the product is multiplied by an expected price.

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons such as;

1. Standard costs are used to estimate the cost of inventory.

2. Standard costs are used to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead.

3. Standard costs are used to control costs.

However, standard costs cannot be used to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made rather an actual cost should be used.

Additionally, the standard cost of each unit of a product manufactured in a business firm is categorized into two (2) and these are;

1. Price standard.

2. Quantity standard.

Concert Hall sells season tickets for six events at a price of $78. In pricing the tickets, the planners assigned the leadoff event a value of $23 because the program was an expensive symphony orchestra. The last five events were priced equally; 1,470 season tickets were sold for the 2013 season. Required: a. Calculate the theater's earned revenue after the first three events have been presented.

Answers

Answer: $66,150

Explanation:

The leadoff event is priced at $23 out of the $78 and the rest of the 5 events will be priced equally.

This means that after the first event, the other 5 will cumulatively be valued at;

= (78 - 23)/5

= $11

The other events are priced at $11 each.

For the first 3 events therefore;

First event = $23 and the other 2 events are $11 each;

= 23 + 11 + 11

= $45

Tickets sold are 1,470;

Revenue from first 3 = 45 * 1,470

= $66,150

Answers

Answer:

The variable costing unit product cost was $69.

Explanation:

Variable Product Costing is a situation whereby only the variable costs of production is taking into account to estimating the cost per unit of a product. This implies that none of the fixed cost will be included in the cost of the product.

Based on the explanation above, the variable costing unit product cost to produce a single product by Kray Inc. can be calculated as follows:

Kray Inc.

Calculation of Variable Costing Unit Product Cost

Particulars                                                          Amount ($)    

Direct materials                                                        40

Direct labor                                                               19

Variable manufacturing overhead                           8

Variable cost per unit                                               69    

Therefore, the variable costing unit product cost was $69.

Assume that the firm is 40% financed by debt and 60% financed by equity. Its cost of debt is 8% and the cost of equity is 15%. The tax rate is 40%. What is the firm’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

10.92%

Explanation:

A firm is 40% financed by debt

= 40/100

= 0.40

The firm is also 60% financed by equity

= 60/100

= 0.60

Its cost of debt is 8%

=8/100

=0.08

Cost of equity is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

Tax rate is 40%

= 40/100

= 0.40

Therefore, the firm's WACC can be calculated as follows

WACC= 0.40×0.08×(1-0.40) + 0.60×0.15

= 0.032×0.6 + 0.09

= 0.0192 + 0.09

= 0.1092×100

= 10.92%

Hence the firm's WACC is 10.92%

Which of the following promises is subject to the "strict performance" standard? Assume that performance of the promise is not an express condition of the promisee's duty to perform. cousrse hero

Answers

Answer:

A promise to deliver a deed

Explanation:

The term, 'strict performance' is used to describe a contract between two parties. A contract is an agreement between two parties, and it is legally binding. When discharging contracts involving services, 'substantial performance' is required. For example, if I tell a painter to paint my house blue except for the kitchen and storeroom which should be painted white, and he does accordingly but failed in painting the kitchen white, he has performed substantially even though there was a minor breach. The consequences of which would be borne by him.

'Strict performance' is required in contracts where the terms are stated in express terms and the standards are very high. A 'deed' is such a contract because it is a document specifying the legal rights of a person or the ownership of a property. It requires the signatures of the two parties. Therefore, strict performance and adherence to the contractual deed are required.

A. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?
B. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?

Answers

Answer:

A. The Capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt

B. The  firm should discount the project’s cash flows at 4.45 %.

Explanation:

Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Preferred Shares

Market Value of Equity =  280,000 shares × $61

                                      =   $17,080,000

Market Value of Preferred Shares = 280,000 shares × $95

                                                        = $26,600,000

Market Value of Debt = 165,000 bonds × $2,000 × 109%

                                    = $359,700,000

Total Market Value = $403,380,000

Capital Structure :

Weight of Equity = $17,080,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                            = 4.23 %

Weight of Preferred Shares = $26,600,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                                              = 6.59 %

Weight of Debt = $359,700,000 / $403,380,000 × 100

                          = 89.17 %

Thus, the market value capital structure is : 4.23 % - Equity, 6.59 % - Preferred Shares and 89.17 % - Debt

Firms use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to discount the project’s cash flows.

Cost of Debt, r

PV = $2000 × 109 % = - $2,100

PMT = ($2,000 × 5.9%) ÷ 2 = $59

n = 19 × 2 = 38

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, Pretax cost of debt, r is 5,47 %

After tax cost of debt = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 5,47 % × ( 1 - 0.25)

                                   = 4.10 %

Cost of Equity

Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Risk Premium Portfolio

                       = 3.5 % + 1.15 × 7.1%

                       = 11.67 %            

Cost of Preference Stock            

Cost of Preference Stocks = 4.5%

WACC = ke(W/V) + kd(D/V) + kp(P/V)

           =  11.67 % × 4.23 % + 4.10 % × 89.17 % + 4.5% × 6.59 %

           =  4.45 %

Delta Lighting has 30,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $15 a share. This stock was originally issued at $31 per share. The firm also has a bond issue outstanding with a total face value of $280,000 which is currently selling for 82 percent of par. The cost of equity is 14 percent while the after-tax cost of debt is 6.8 percent. The firm has a beta of 1.48 and a tax rate of 30 percent. What is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 11.57 % .

Explanation:

Market Value of Equity = Number of Common Shares Outstanding × Market Price per share

                                      = 30,000 shares × $15

                                      = $450,000

Market Value of Debt = Face Value × 82%

                                    = $280,000 × 82%

                                    = $229,600

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (E/V)

           = 14.00 % × ($450,000/ $679,600) + 6.80 %  × ($229,600/ $679,600)

           = 9.27 % + 2.30 %

           = 11.57 %

11. Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: A. profit will go up 10% B. profit will go up more than 10% C. profit will go down by less than 10% D. profit will not change

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Profit = Revenue - cost

Cost = fixed cost + variable cost

if variable cost increases by 10%, cost would increase by 10%.

Revenue also increases by 10%

So, the increase in revenue would be cancelled by the increase in cost and profit would not change

Which financial strategy would you choose to mitigate risk exposure? In your own words, present an example using XYZ company

Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?

Answers

Answer:

$24.60

Explanation:

The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:

Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Dividend is

= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years

= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5

= $2.46

All the other items would remain the same

So, the price is

= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)

= $24.60

Lanning Company sells 160,000 units at $45 per unit. Variable costs are $27 per unit, and fixed costs are $975,000. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 160,000 units

Selling price= $45 per unit.

Variable costs are $27 per unit

Fixed costs are $975,000.

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio using the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price

contribution margin ratio= (45 - 27) / 45

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Now, we can calculate the contribution margin per unit:

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Contribution margin= 45 - 27

Contribution margin= 18

Finally, the net operating income:

Net income= units sold*contribution margin - fixed costs

Net income= 160,000*18 - 975,000

Net income= $1,905,000

On November 7, Mura Company borrows $370,000 cash by signing a 90-day, 8%, $370,000 note payable. 1. Compute the accrued interest payable on December 31. 2. & 3. Prepare the journal entry to record the accrued interest expense at December 31 and payment of the note at maturity on February 5.

Answers

Answer:

At 31 December, the Interest for 54 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $17,740 (debit)

Note Payable $17,740 (credit)

On payment February 5, the Interest expense will be capitalized in the Note Payable as follows :

Note Payable $407,473 (debit)

Cash $407,473 (credit)

Explanation:

AT, November 7, When Mura Company borrows the money :

Cash $370,000 (debit)

Note Payable $370,000  (credit)

At 31 December, the Interest for 54 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $17,740 (debit)

Note Payable $17,740 (credit)

Interest expense calculation = $370,000 × 8% × 54/90

                                                = $17,740

At February 5, the interest for 60 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $19,733 (debit)

Note Payable $19,733 (credit)

Interest expense calculation = $370,000 × 8% × 60/90

                                                = $19,733

On payment February 5, the Interest expense will be capitalized in the Note Payable as follows :

Note Payable $407,473 (debit)

Cash $407,473 (credit)

Note Payable Calculation = $370,000 + $19,733 + $17,740

At an annual effective interest rate of 6.3%, an annuity immediate with 4N level annual payments of 1,000 has a present value of 14,113. Determine the fraction of the total present value represented by the first set of N payments and the third set of N payments combined.

Answers

Answer:

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) =  47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N) =  90.86% of the annuity's present value.

Explanation:

we must use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

14,113 = 1,000 x annuity factor

annuity factor = 14,113 / 1,000 = 14.133

we know that the interest rate is 6.3%, now using an annuity calculator we can determine that the total number of periods is 36. The exact factor is 14.11322, but we can round to 14.113

the first set would represent 36/4 = 9 years

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) = PV = 1,000 x 6.71376 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 9 periods) = 6,713.76. This corresponds to 6,713.76 / 14,113 = 47.57% of the annuity's present value.

the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N)  = PV = 1,000 x 12.82329 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 27 periods) = 12,823.29. This corresponds to 12,823.29 / 14,113 = 90.86% of the annuity's present value.
