Answer: Purchases assets at a cost of $15,000 (000)
Explanation:
Out of the 4 options presented, 2 involves cash coming into the company which are; Sells $5,000 (000) of their Long-term assets and Liquidates the entire inventory. As these 2 bring cash into the company, they will not make Baldwin need an emergency loan.
The other 2 however, take money from the company being; Retires $20,000 (000) in long-term debt and Purchases assets at a cost of $15,000 (000). Retirement of long-term debt will have been in the budget for a long time so there would be no need for emergency funding.
The Purchase of the assets on the other hand has a less chance of being budgeted for than the long term debt retirement and being such a significant outflow, could expose Baldwin to the risk of needing to seek emergency loans.
The Andrews Company has just purchased $55,736,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. The expected salvage value at the end of 15 years is $5,573,600. What will the book value of this purchase (exclude all other plant and equipment) be after its third year of use? (Use FASB GAAP)
Answer:
Book value = $45,703,520
Explanation:
We can calculate the book value of purchase after its third year of use by deducting all three years of depreciation from the cost of the asset.
DATA
Purchase cost = $55,736,000
Useful life = 15 years
Salvage value = $5,573,600
Solution
Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Book value = $55,736,000 - $10,032,480(w)
Book value = $45,703,520
Working
Depreciation per year = [tex]\frac{Cost-salvagevalue}{life}[/tex]
Depreciation per year = [tex]\frac{55,736,000-5,573,600}{15}[/tex]
Depreciation per year = $3,344,160
Depreciation for 3 years = $3,344,160 x 3
Depreciation for 3 years = $10,032,480
Three years accumulated depreciation for three years would be $10,032,480
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace. Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45. Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95. How much will the purchase of these products cost?
Answer:
Total cost= $225.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace.
Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45.
Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95.
First, we need to calculate the number of "packs" to buy:
Pens= 480/6= 80
Staplers= 6/2= 3
Total cost= 80*2.45 + 2*14.95= $225.9
The Baldwin company wants to decrease its plant utilization for Brat by 15%. How many units would need to be produced next year to meet this production goal
Answer:
1,266 units
Explanation:
A lot of information is missing, but I found a similar question:
current production level = 1,500 unitscurrent plant utilization rate = 96%total plant capacity = 1,500 / 96% = 1,562.5 units
if plant utilization will decrease by 15% ⇒ 96% - 15% = 81%
plant production to meet required production goal = 1,562.5 x 81% = 1,265.625 = 1,266 units
A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will
The question is missing the options and is incomplete. The q=complete question is,
A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will:
a. both decrease
b. both increase
c. remain the same and decrease, respectively
d. increase and remain the same, respectively
Answer:
The correct answer is option D as the current ratio has increased while the working capital has remained the same.
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. The formula for current ratio is,
Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
The old current ratio was,
Current ratio = 70000 / 50000 = 1.4
After the transaction, the new current ratio is,
Current ratio = (70000 - 1000) / (50000 - 1000) = 1.408
Thus, as a result of the transaction, the current ratio has increased.
The working capital is the difference between the value of current assets and the value of current liabilities.
The formula to calculate the working capital is,
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
Old working capital = 70000 - 50000 = $20000
The new working capital = 69000 - 49000 = $20000
Thus, the working capital remain unchanged after the transaction.
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market Group of answer choices
Complete Question:
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market:
Group of answer choices.
A. which has a higher demand.
B. which has a more elastic demand.
C. which has a less elastic demand.
D. which has a higher marginal revenue.
Answer:
C. which has a less elastic demand.
Explanation:
In competitive marketing, a price-discriminating monopolist is any individual or business entity which charges various customers different prices for its finished products or services, even though the products are similar, identical or homogeneous in nature and there cost of production is the same.
A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market which has a less elastic demand because there are no close substitutes or alternatives for the goods and services.
For instance, if there's a gasoline or fuel hike in a particular state, a price-discriminating monopolist would charge higher price because gasoline or fuel is inelastic in the short-run or has a less elastic demand at the time.
A bond with par value of $1,000 has an annual coupon rate of 4.8% and currently sells for $970. What is the bond’s current yield? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The Bond's Current yield = 4.95%
Explanation:
Annual coupon = Value of Bond * Annual Coupon rate
Annual coupon = $1000 * 4.8%
Annual coupon =$48
The Bond Current yield =Annual coupon / Current price
The Bond Current yield = $48 / $970
The Bond Current yield = 0.049485
The Bond Current yield = 4.9485
The Bond Current yield = 4.95%
TB MC Qu. 6-70 Awtis Corporation has a margin of ... Awtis Corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25% based on its actual sales. The break-even point is $213,600 and the variable expenses are 45% of sales. Given this information, the actual profit is:
Answer:
$39,160
Explanation:
Awtis corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25%
= 25/100
= 0.25
The break even point is $213,600
The variable expenses is 45%
= 45/100
= 0.45
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio= 1-variable expenses
= 1-0.45
= 0.55
The fixed expenses can be calculated as follows
Fixed expenses= break even sales × contribution margin ratio
= $213,600×0.55
= 117,480
The total actual sales can be calculated as follows
= Break even sales/(1-margin of safety)
= $213,600/(1-0.25)
= $213,600/0.75
= $284,800
Therefore, the actual profit can be calculated as follows
Actual profit= Contribution margin ratio×sales - fixed expenses
= 0.55×284,800-$117,480
= $156,640-$117,480
= $39,160
Hence the actual profit is $39,160

c. should inform the client that the firm may not be able to borrow the stock.
Explanation:
Since it is mentioned that there is a short of 50,000 shares of ABC stock and the average daily trading volume is 40,000 shares that represent the trading of the stock is less i.e short
According to the SHO regulation, when the stock is sold has short than the dealer should track the shares i.e to be borrowed also find out the shares i.e to be delivered by the settlement by considering the documents
Now in this case, the shares i.e be borrowed find to be tougher also the tracking is not possible
Therefore the customer would not able to short the stock
Based on predicted production of 17,000 units, a company anticipates $255,000 of fixed costs and $216,750 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 15,000 units are (Do not round intermediate calculations):
Answer:
fixed costs = $255,000
variable costs = (15,000 / 17,000) x $216,750 = $191,250
Explanation:
A flexible budget is prepared in order to compare how budgeted revenues and costs actually worked out. In other words, if actual revenues and costs were similar to the budget previously prepared. A flexible budget adjusts actual results and helps management control how efficient the company was in following their budget. That is why a flexible budget is done after the budgeted period is over.
Fixed costs should not change (that is why they are fixed), but variable costs should change if the actual output was different than the budgeted output.

Explanation:
The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of a stock if the growth rate in the dividend is expected to remain constant. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / r - g
We already know the P0, the D0 and the g. We can plug in these values in the formula to calculate r which is the cost of equity capital.
32 = 1.25 * (1+ 0.07) / (r - 0.07)
32 * (r - 0.07) = 1.3375
32r - 2.24 = 1.3375
32r = 1.3375 + 2.24
r = 3.5775 / 32
r = 0.11179 or 11.179%
Aggregate income in an economy in 2017 is $100 billion. Saving is $30 billion and imports are $35 billion. What is aggregate expenditure in the economy in 2017?
Answer: $100 billion
Explanation:
In Economics, Aggregate Income is assumed to be the same as Aggregate Expenditure. The assumption behind this is that every dollar spent is a dollar in income from someone else so every income is just a dollar that will be spent.
With that logic in a country that has Aggregate income of $100 billion, the Aggregate Expenditure will be $100 billion as well.

B. profit margin will decline.
C. equity multiplier will decrease.
D. return on equity will increase.
E. price-earnings ratio will increase.
Answer:
Question 1:
required investment $245,000
depreciation expense per year = ($245,00 - $23,200) / 5 = $44,360
you will also require $15,000 in working capital
annual cash costs = $68,500
what is the minimum amount of cash sales for accepting the project:
net cash flow₁ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14 = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72
net cash flow₂ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14² = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14² = 0.5002SR - $22,313.79
net cash flow₃ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14³ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14³ = 0.4387SR - $19,573.50
net cash flow₄ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14⁴ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14⁴ = 0.3849SR - $17,169.74
net cash flow₅ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360 + $15,000} / 1.14⁵ = (0.65SR - $13,999) / 1.14⁵ = 0.3376SR - $7,270.64
NPV = -initial outlay + cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = cash flows
$260,000 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72 + 0.5002SR - $22,313.79 + 0.4387SR - $19,573.50 + 0.3849SR - $17,169.74 + 0.3376SR - $7,270.64
$260,000 = 2.2316SR - $91,765.39
$351,765.39 = 2.2316SR
sales revenue = $351,765.39 / 2.2316 = $157,629.23
the closest answer is B = $155,119, but its NPV will be negative.
so we have to select C = $162,515.75 that results in an NPV = $10,887.
Question 2:
The correct answer is D. return on equity will increase.
If you lower your costs while your sales remain the same, your profits will increase as well as your ROE.
Suppose taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed and a sample of seven taxi fares produces a mean fare of $22.31 and a 95% confidence interval of [$20.5051, $24.2091]. Which of the following statements is a valid explanation of the confidence interval.
A) 95% of all taxi fares are between $20.51 and $24.21.
B) We are 95% confident that a randomly selected taxi fare will be between $20.51 and $24.21.
C) The mean amount of a taxi fare is $22.31, 95% of the time.
D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.
Answer: D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.
Explanation:
The Confidence interval allows one to speculate between which values the average of a population will be. In a 95% confidence interval, this means that we are 95% certain that the average value of a variable will be between the higher and lower limits set by the interval.
The 95% confidence interval here has an upper limit of $24.2091 and a lower limit of $20.5051 for taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston. This means that with a 95% certainty, the taxi charge from Logan Airport to downtown Boston will be between these 2 charges so you can expect to pay an amount between them.
What is the present value of a perpetuity that pays you annual, end-of-year payments of $950? Use a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 7.50%.
Answer:
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an annuity that provide cash flow for an infinite period .Examples are Non -redeemable Preference Share.
Present Value (perpetuity) = Payments ÷ Required Rate
But, first change the 7.50 % nominal rate to Annual Effective Rate to match the period of Cash flow.
Effective Rate = (1 + r / m)^m - 1
= ( 1 + 0.0750 / 12) ^12 -1
= 7.76%
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity) = $950 ÷ 7.76%
= $12,242.27
At the certain interest rate, present value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows.
The discount rate determines the present value of the cash flows, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the current value of future cash flows.
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
A perpetuity is an annuity that payments out during an indefinite period of time. Non-redeemable Preference Share is an example.
Present Value (perpetuity) = [tex]\frac{\text{Payments}}{\text{Required Rate}}[/tex]
However, to match the Working capital period, change a 7.50 percent nominal rate to a Yearly Effective Tax rate.
[tex]\text{Effective Rate} = (1 + \frac{r}{m} )^m - 1= [1 + \frac{0.0750}{12}]^{12} -1= 7.76\%[/tex]
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity)= [tex]\frac{\$950}{7.76\%} = $12,242.27[/tex]
To know more about the calculations of the present value, refer to the link below:

the fair value of Blossom is estimated to be $820,800. The carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.
Answer:
Cullumber Company
Journal Entry:
Debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment $34,200
Credit Goodwill $34,200
To record the loss on goodwill impairment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Fair value = $820,800
Carrying value of net identifiable assets, including goodwill = $855,000
Goodwill impairment = $34,200 ($855,000 - $820,800)
b) Cullumber, which acquired Blossom is expected to check for the impairment of goodwill yearly. The impairment occurs when the carrying value of the net identifiable assets of Blossom is more than the fair value of Blossom. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards require the annual review of the fair value of goodwill to check for its impairment. By the above entry, the goodwill will be reduced by $34,200 and a loss debited in Cullumber's accounts.

Exercise 10-1 Recording bond issuance and interest LO P1 On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
Semi-annual interest payment=$153,000
Explanation:
The interest payment on the bond is an expense which would be incurred twice a year because the terms and conditions of the bond contract is that interest be paid semi-annually, that is every six month.
This implies that we would need to work out the interest rate applicable for every six month. This is doe as follows:
Semi-annual interest rate = Annual interest rate / 2
