Answer:
$210,000
Explanation:
The computation of the external price is shown below
Making cost = buying cost
$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)
$220,000 = External price + $10,000
So,
External price = 210,000
Hence, the same is to be considered
Therefore the external price is $210,000
1. Chang Industries has 1,900 defective units of product that have already cost $13.90 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $4.90 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $6.10 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $20.80. The incremental income or loss on reworking the units is:_______.
a. $18,620 income.
b. $30,210 income.
c. $27,930 income.
2. Poe Company is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $85,500. The projected net cash flows are $40,500 for the first two years and $35,500 for years three and four. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Poe requires a 10% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of 1 and present value of an annuity for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.
Periods Present Value of 1 at 10% Present Value of anAnnuity of 1 at 10%
1 0.9091 0.9091
2 0.8264 1.7355
3 0.7513 2.4869
4 0.6830 3.1699
a. $(27,665).
b. $(14,857).
c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.
Answer:
1. $18620
2. $35709
Explanation:
1.we are required to find incremental loss.
= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)
Defect product = 900
Market price = 20.8
Price for each defect unit = 4.9
Price for defect correction = 6.1
1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)
= $18600
2. Present value of cash flow =
40500*0.9091 = 36818.55
40500*0.8264 = 33469.2
35500*0.7513 = 26671.15
35500*0.683 = 24246.5
Total = 121209
We subtract cost of new equipment from this value
121209-85500
= $35709

Explanation:
Rent expense of $3,000 is allocated to Department A and Department B based on square footage. Department A has 5,000 square feet and Department B has 2,500 square feet.
The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B
Using this formula
Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot
Let plug in the formula
Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500
Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500
Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500
Expense allocated to department B= $1,000
Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %

A company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The cash paid on July 1 to the bond holder(s) is:
Answer: $4950
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:
= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12
= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12
= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5
= $4,950

RLW-II Enterprises estimated that indirect manufacturing costs for the year would be $60 million and that 12,000 machine hours would be used
Answer: $3,150,000
Explanation:
Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.
Indirect Costs
It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.
Indirect cost per machine hour is;
= 60,000,000/12,000
= $5,000 per hour
With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;
= 200 * 5,000
= $1,000,000
Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000
= $3,150,000
A company has a net cash inflow from operating activities of $793,000, a net cash outflow of $58,000 from investing activities and a net cash inflow of $100,800 from financing activities. The company paid $128,000 in interest, $188,500 in income taxes, and $204,000 in cash dividends. Which of the following statements about the statement of cash flows is not correct?a. The statement of cash flows will show a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $838, 500. b. If the direct method is used, the $125,000 of interest paid and the $187,000 of income taxes paid will be reported in the cash flows from operating activities. c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section. d. Supplemental disclosures required for a company using the indirect method include the amount of interest and the amount of income taxes paid.
Answer:
Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:
c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.
Explanation:
Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.
Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise. The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash. While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
Sheridan Company issues 3600 shares of its $10 par value common stock having a fair value of $20 per share and 5600 shares of its $10 par value preferred stock having a fair value of $20 per share for a lump sum of $205400. What amount of the proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock
Answer:
$125,026
Explanation:
Common Shares 3,600
Fair value $20
Total market value of common stock $72,000
Preferred shares 5,600
Fair value $20
Total market value of preferred stock $112,000
Lump Sum amount $205,400
Amount of proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock = 205,400 * (112,000 / (72,000 + 112,000) ) = $125,026
The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Potential GDP of an economy is $12 billion. Real (Actual) GDP is $20 Billion. Marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. What level of Government spending is required to achieve Full employment
Answer:
Government spending required = $2 billion
Explanation:
The required amount of GDP to achieve the full employment GDP =
Potential GDP - Actual
that is 20 - 12 = $8 billion.
But note that a government spending of less than $8 billion would be required to achieve an increase of 8 billion in real GDP. This is so because of expenditure multiplier effect.
The expenditure multiplier is the amount by which the aggregate output would increase with an increase in any of the expenditure components.
It is calculated as follows;
Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)
For this question ,
Expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.75) = 4
This implies that $1 change in any of the aggregate expenditure would lead a $4 worth of change in GDP.
Government spending required is determined as
Desired change in real GDP/expenditure multiplier
= $8 billion/4 = $2 billion
Government spending required = $2 billion
If United Airlines acted as a "price leader" and all other airlines simply charged the same prices
that United Airlines charged, then could this action be illegal because it is a form of "silent collusion?"
A. There is no such term in microeconomics known as "tacit" or "silent collusion."
B. Matching the prices of the price leader firm is a good example of a competitive market.
C. The U.S. Anti-Trust Department has always considered this business behavior as suspicious
and it does consider this pricing strategy to be illegal.
D. The famous 1982 anti-monopoly IBM court case said that this pricing strategy within an
industry is legal as long as the firms fill out quarterly reports to keep the U.S. Anti-Trust
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The airline industry is an example of an oligopoly
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by :
price setting firms
product differentiation
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve
the action taken by the other airlines is known as tacit collusion.
Tacit collusion is when other companies adopt the price of the price leader
Tacit collusion is not illegal while the explicit collision is illegal.
Calculate the monthly implicit costs for a business owner who devotes 200 hours per month to his business that could be spent working at $50/hour for someone else.
Answer:
Implicit cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of using resources a business already owns.
This business owner passes this income by being in a business for himself
200 hours per month multiplied by $50/hour
200 x 50
= 10000
Implicit cost = $10,000

22. On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is eight years. The first payment of $675,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $3,600,000. The present value of the lease payments is $3,961,183. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer:
$293,980.13
Explanation:
Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease
First Step is to find the interest for year 2021
Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183
Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)
=$3,286,183
Hence,
2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%
2021 Interest = $328,618.3
Second Step
Second Payment $675,000
Less Interest (328,618.3)
Reduced balance $346,381.7
Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease
2021 $3,286,183
Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)
January 1 2022 Liability = $2,939,801.3× 10%
2022 Interest Revenue =$293,980.13
Therefore the amount of interest revenue that Princess will record in 2022 on the lease will be $293,980.13
Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.
What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115
Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods
PV of interest =
115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89
Step 3:Price of the bond
Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?
Answer:
I will borrow yen at 6% a year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000
Spot rate = $1 = ¥107
Forward rate = $1 to ¥120
Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months
Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)
Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)
Gain from forward contract = $404.99

On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?
Answer: $2,420,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000
= $4,610,000
Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000
= $2,420,000
Ray's Satellite Emporium wishes to determine the best order size for its best-selling satellite dish (model TS111). Ray has estimated the annual demand for this model at 1,500 units. His cost to carry one unit is $80 per year per unit, and he has estimated that each order costs $22 to place.
Using the EOQ model, how many should Ray order each time?
Answer:
28.72 units
Explanation:
Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model
Using this formula
EOQ= √2DS/H
Where,
D=Annual demand 1,500 units
S=Order costs $22
H=Holding Costs $80 per unit
Let plug in the formula
EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80
EOQ=√66,000/$80
EOQ=√825
EOQ=28.72 units
Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.
Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?
Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.
Nemesis, Inc., has 215,000 shares of stock outstanding. Each share is worth $81, so the company's market value of equity is $17,415,000. Suppose the firm issues 48,000 new shares at the following prices: $81, $75, and $69. What will be the ex-rights price and the effect of each of these alternative offering prices on the existing price per share? (Leave no cells blank; if there is no effect select "No change" from the dropdown and enter "O". Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Price Ex-Rights Amount $ Effect per share

No change
Price drops by
Price drops by
Answer:
$81, $75, and $69
a. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $81 = $3888000
$21,303,000
Price after issue of new shares = 21,303,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,303,000 / 263,000
= $81
Conclusion: No changes ($0 per share
b. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $75 = $3600000
$21015000
Price after issue of new shares = 21015000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,015,000 / 263,000
= $79.90
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 79.90) = $1.10 per share
c. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $69 = $3312000
$20,727,000
Price after issue of new shares = 20,727,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 20,727,000 / 263,000
= $78.81
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 78.81) = $2.19 Per share

(a) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued for cash.
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding $
(b) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued in a stock dividend.
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding $
Answer:
a. Issued for Cash = ($312,000 * 12/12) + ($29,700 * 8/12)
= $312,000 + $19,800
= $331,800
b. Issued in a stock dividend: Shares issued in the stock dividend are assumed outstanding from the beginning of the year
= ($312,000 * 12/12) + ($29,700 * 12/12)
= $312,000 + $29,700
= $341,700
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True.
Explanation:
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

Recently, the Google team announced its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of "autonomous driving." The Google driverless car is at which stage of the new-product development process?
Answer:
Product Development (stage five)
Explanation:
Sometimes companies make moves towards introducing new products in the market space. To do this there are different stages that must be passed in the new-product development process. The product development stage is the stage where a prototype version of the product is produced. This version of the product would have the required features of the end product and the effect the product is expected to produce. After this stage, the product undergoes market testing. For products that took in a lot of investment, more intense test marketing should be done in order to ascertain what would really translate to higher sales for the product.
When the Google team announced that its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of 'autonomous driving', it means that they had produced the prototype of the product and it has undergone testing. The next stage would entail testing the product in the market and then commercialization.
