On December 18, 2017, Stephanie Corporation acquired 100 percent of a Swiss company for 4.0 million Swiss francs (CHF), which is indicative of book and fair value. At the acquisition date, the exchange rate was $1.00 = CHF 1. On December 18, 2017, the book and fair values of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities were:

Cash CHF 814,000
Inventory 1,314,000
Property, plant & equipment 4,014,000
Notes payable 2,128,000

Stephanie prepares consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2017. By that date, the Swiss franc has appreciated to $1.10 = CHF 1. Because of the year-end holidays, no transactions took place prior to consolidation.

Required:
a. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Stephanie’s December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, assuming that the Swiss franc is the Swiss subsidiary’s functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment?

b. Determine the remeasurement gain or loss to be reported in Stephanie’s 2017 consolidated net income, assuming that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Translation adjustment = $401,400

b. Remeasurement loss = –$131,400

Explanation:

a. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Stephanie’s December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, assuming that the Swiss franc is the Swiss subsidiary’s functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment?

This can determined as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of beginning net asset in

Particular                                         Amount (CHF)    

Cash CHF                                             814,000

Inventory                                             1,314,000

Property, plant & equipment            4,014,000

Notes payable                                (2,128,000)  

Beginning net asset                        4,014,000  

Beginning net asset in USD = Beginning net asset in Swiss francs (CHF) * Beginning exchange rate = CHF4.014,000 * $1 = $4,014,000

Step 2: Calculation of ending net asset

Ending net asset in USD = Beginning net asset  in Swiss francs (CHF) * Ending exchange rate = CHF4.014,000 * $1.10 = $4,415,400

Step 3: Calculation translation adjustment

Translation adjustment = Ending net asset in USD - Beginning net asset in USD = $4,415,400 - $4,014,000 = $401,400

Economic relevance of this translation adjustment

The positive translation adjustment implies that the equity of stockholders has increased by $401,000.

We obtained a positive value because the net position of the subsidiary in Switzerland is CHF4,014,000 and there was a Swiss franc appreciation of $0.10 (i.e. $1.10 - $1.00 = $0.10).

The translation adjustment of $401,000 does not however implies that it was made as a dollar cash flow. The only condition that can make to turn to a profit is if this operation is sold at CHF4,014,000 on December 31 and the amount realized as a proceed is changed to dollars at ruling exchange rate of $1.10 to a Swiss franc on December 31, 2017.

b. Determine the remeasurement gain or loss to be reported in Stephanie’s 2017 consolidated net income, assuming that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss?

This can be determined as follows:

Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc = Cash - Note payable = CHF814,000 - CHF2,128,000 = –CHF1,314,000

Beginning net liabilities in USD = Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc * Beginning exchange rate = –CHF1,314,000  * $1.00 = –$1,314,000

Ending net liabilities in USD = Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc * Ending exchange rate = –CHF1,314,000  * $1.10 = –$1,445,400

Remeasurement loss = Ending net liabilities in USD – Beginning net liabilities in USD = [–$1,445,400] – [–$1,314,000] = –$131,400

Economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss

There is a negative remeasurement or remeasurement lost because the net monetary liability position of the Swiss subsidiary is CHF 1,314,000. The appreciation of the Swiss franc by $0.10 results in a loss of $131,400] that not is unrealized.

The readjustment loss of $131,400 does not however implies that it was a dollar cash outflow. The only condition that can make it to turn to a loss is if this operation is sold on December 31. This will lead to the realization of a transaction gain of $81,400 [i.e. CHF814,000 x ($1.10 - $1.00)].

Also, the Swiss franc note payable will be paid off by using the US dollar. This will bring about the realization of a truncation loss of $212,800 [i.e. CHF2,128,000 x ($1.10 - $1.00)].

a. $14, the difference between the variable cost and market price.b. $11, the variable cost. c. $12, the absorption cost.d. $25, the market price.

Answers

Answer:

b. $11, the variable cost.d. $25, the market price.

Explanation:

1. The Electrical Division has excess capacity so supplying the Lawn Mower Division can be done and they will still be able to sell to outside customers. They should therefore only charge the variable cost to make component K32 which is $11 as they are in the same company.

2. The highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower division would pay is the market price of $25. At a price higher than this, it would make no sense to source the component from the Electrical division because the Lawn Mower division could simply source it from the market and save on costs.

Kaskin, Inc., stock has a beta of 1.2 and Quinn, Inc., stock has a beta of 0.6. Which of the following statements is most accurate? The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn. The stock of Kaskin has more total risk than Quinn. The stock of Quinn has more systematic risk than that of Kaskin.

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn.

Explanation:

Option A “The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn” is more accurate because the expected return is calculated by multiplying the risk premium with beta value and then adding with risk-free return. However, if the beta value is high, then the magnitude after multiplying with the risk premium will be high. Moreover, is magnitude will be added to risk-free return to find the expected return. Thus, it can be seen that Kaskin has high beta 1.2 as compared to Quinn’s beta value 0.6. So, the Kaskin has a higher expected return.

Knowledge Check 01 On December 31, 2019, Wintergreen, Inc., issued $150,000 of 7 percent, 10-year bonds at a discount of $10,125. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Wintergreen uses the straight-line bond amortization method. The entry to record each interest payment includes a debit to Bond Interest Expense for $5,756, a credit to Discount on Bonds Payable for $506, and a credit to Cash for $5,250. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the bonds will equal _____.

Answers

Answer:

Carrying value of bond = $140,887 .50

Explanation:

Balance in discount on bonds account as on Dec 31, 2019 = Total discount on bonds - amortized discount on 30 June, 2019 - discount amortized on Dec 31, 2019

= $10,125 - $506.25 -$506.25

= $9,112.50

Carrying value of the bond = Face value of bond - Balance in discount on bonds account.

= $150,000 - $9,112.50

= $140,887 .50

Note:

Amortization of discount on bonds = Total discount on bond / total number of interest payments

= $10125/(10×2)

= $10125/20

= $506.25

a) The trial balance includes all of the accounts needed to create the balance sheet and the income statement.

b) The trial balance is much less detailed than the balance sheet and income statement.

c) The accounting principle of materiality says that the information on the trial balance can be combined and simplified into more general reporting items.

d) The accounting principle of money measurement says that the information on the trial balance can be combined and simplified into more general reporting items.

e) The trial balance shows only nominal accounts.

Answer:

a) The trial balance includes all of the accounts needed to create the balance sheet and the income statement.

Explanation:

Company XYZ's trial balance summarizes all the general ledger account balances with the assets and expenses on the debit side and the liabilities, equity, and income on the credit side.  It is extracted from the general ledger for all accounts that do not have equal debit and credit sides.  It is one of the ways to ensure that proper double entry system of bookkeeping has been followed.  That the two sides are in balance does not mean that the trial balance or the general ledger from which it is prepared is error-free.  It simply means that the two sides agree in total.  XYZ can prepare the trial balance at any time, not necessarily at the end of the period.

Valley Company’s adjusted trial balance on August 31, its fiscal year-end, follows. It categorizes the following accounts as selling expenses: sales salaries expense, rent expense—selling space, store supplies expense, and advertising expense.

g how much money should be deposited today in account that earns 5% compounded interest quarterly so that it will accumulate to 7600 in 9 years

Answers

Answer:

Present value of 7600 in 9 years at 5% compounded quarterly = 4,859.51

Explanation:

You will need to invest $4,859.51 at the beginning to reach the future value of $7,600.00 in 9 years at 5% compounded quarterly.

Using an online financial calculator:

FV (Future Value) = $7,600

PV (Present Value)  = $4,859.51

N (Number of Periods) = 36 quarters (9 x 4)

I/Y (Interest Rate) = 1.250%  (5%/4)

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0.00

Starting Investment = $4,859.51

Total Principal = $4,859.51

Total Interest = $2,740.49

The compound interest rate is divided into the number of quarters, which is 4 and the number of periods will become 9 x 4 = 36.  Then the present value of $7,600 is determined using the PV table or an online calculator, as above.

Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000. How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?

Answers

Answer:  $736,000; $92,000; $92,000

Explanation:

The amount allocated will be proportional based on the cost of each when in a separate contracts.

Total when in separate contracts = 800,000 + 100,000 + 100,000

= $1,000,000

Proportion of Machine = 800,000/1,000,000

= 8/10

Proportion of Installation = 100,000/1,000,000

= 1/10

Proportion of Training = 100,000/1,000,000

= 1/10

Cost to allocate to Machine

= 8/10 * 920,000

= $736,000

Cost to allocate to Installation

= 1/10 * 920,000

= $92,000

Cost to allocate to Training

= 1/10 * 920,000

= $92,000

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

a. 12.03%

b. 3.32%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]

Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y

Now the equations are as follows

For Pete Corp

19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)

For Repete Corp

16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)

Now Solving (1) and (2)

After solving we get

y = 8.70967741935

x = 3.3225806452

i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%

And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%

So,

Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium

= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935

= 12.03%

​(A) What price should the company charge for the​ phones, and how many phones should be produced to maximize the weekly​ revenue? What is the maximum weekly​ revenue?

Answers

Answer:

2500 phones produced at $250 per phone

Max weekly revenue would be $625,000.

Explanation:

p = 500 - 0.1x

p is the price per unit

revenue = quantity * price/unit  

R(x) = revenue = p(x)*x = 500x - 0.1x²

p(x) maximum when first derivative is set to 0

500 - 0.2x = 0 ==> x = 500/0.2 = 2500 quantities

price/unit : p = 500 - 0.1*2500 = 500 - 250 = 250

revenue :  

r(2500) = 500*2500 - 0.1*2500²

r(2500) = 2500(500 - 250) = 625000

The company should produce 2500 phones each week at a price of $250

The maximum weekly revenue is $625000

Answers

Answer:

Liquidity of an asset refers to how easily convertible the asset is to cash or so called liquid money.

Most Liquid - A $5 bill

This is already cash so it is the most liquid there is.

Second-Most Liquid  - The funds in a money market account

Funds in a money market account are the second most liquid because most often they can simply be withdrawn from the fund. There might be limits on the number of withdrawals allowed though within a period.

Third-Most Liquid  -  A share in a publicly traded company

A share in a publicly trade company ranks here because to realize the cash, one would need to sell the share first.

Least Liquid - Your house

Your house will be the most difficult of these to liquidate as it will involve a much longer process to eventually get it sold and realize cash. The process will include but will not be limited to, advertising, hiring realtors, inspection etc.

b. Unlike global consistency, a company following a policy of local adaptation modifies its standard operating procedures to adapt to differences in foreign customers, governments, and regulatory agencies.

Explanation:

When a company wants to operate in different locations globally they can adopt 2 methods of operation.

The global consistency approach aims to maintain a uniform operational procedure across all countries where a company does business.

Local adaptation is when the company modifies it's standard operating procedures to fit local preferences, government policy, regulations, and politics.

Local adaptation tends to be more complex be side each location has its way of operating so there is no uniformity across global locations.

What makes wages and prices sticky?

Sticky wages are a result of a number of factors, including the minimum wage, employee contracts, labor unions, the efficiency wage theory, and the expense of hiring and terminating employees. It is challenging to exit a recession when wages and prices are stuck, creating a vicious cycle.

A theoretical market condition known as "stickiness" occurs when a certain nominal price resists change. Stickiness, also known as price stickiness, is a term that is frequently used to describe market prices even though it frequently refers to wages.

Many economists think that prices are "sticky" and that they change gradually. According to them, this stickiness indicates that changes in the money supply have an effect on the real economy, causing changes in investment, employment, output, and consumption. Policymakers can take advantage of this effect.

Answers

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.

In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.

The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.

From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.

The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.

By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.

Knight Inventory Systems, Inc., has announced a rights offer. The company has announced that it will take three rights to buy a new share in the offering at a subscription price of $53. At the close of business the day before the ex-rights day, the company’s stock sells for $80 per share. The next morning, you notice that the stock sells for $65 per share and the rights sell for $2 each.

Required:
a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?
b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.

Answers

Answer:

a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?

stock price at ex-right = [(3 x $80) + $53] / 4 = $73.25

cost of ex-right = $80 - $73.25 = $6.75

the rights are underpriced since they are sold at $2, and they should sell at $6.75

b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.

You can purchase 3 rights at $6 and then pay subscription price ($53) and you would have an stock at $59. Your profit = $65 - $59 = $6 per stock.

Assuming that the firm is maximizing profits, the marginal cost of the last unit produced equals:________

Price Quantity Total cost
10 10 80
9 20 100
8 30 130
7 40 170
6 50 230
5 60 300
4 70 380


a. $4
b. $40
c. $5
d. $50
e. $6

Answers

Answer: b. $40

Explanation:

A firm maximises its profits where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost.

Marginal revenue is the additional revenue gained by selling one more unit of production.

At 40 units, the marginal revenue is equal to;

= Total revenue at 40 units - total revenue at 30 units

= ( 7 * 40) - ( 8 * 30)

= 280 - 240

= $40

At 40 units the marginal cost is;

= total cost at 40 units - total cost at 30 units

= 170 - 130

= $40

MR=MC which is $40.

Expenditures on the project were as follows:January 1, 2021 $290,000 September 1, 2021 $408,000 December 31, 2021 $408,000 March 31, 2022 $408,000 September 30, 2022 $290,000 Kendall borrowed $786,000 on a construction loan at 12% interest on January 1, 2021. This loan was outstanding throughout the construction period. The company had $4,680,000 in 9% bonds payable outstanding in 2021 and 2022.Interest capitalized for 2021 was:__________

Answers

Answer:

Interest capitalized for 2021 was $51,120.

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the weighted-average method of calculating capitalized interest which is calculated as the multiplication of interest rate and the sum of the weight of each expenditure based on the number of months within a year. This can be stated mathematically as follows:

Therefore, the interest capitalized for 2021 can be calculated as follows:

Weighted expenditure from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 = $290,000 * (12 months / 12 months) = $290,000.

Weighted expenditure from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 =$408,000 * (4 months / 12 months) = $136,000.

Weighted expenditure from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2021 = $408,000 * (0 months / 12 months) = $0.

Sum of weighted expenditure for for 2021 = $290,000 + $136,000 + $0 = $426,000

Interest capitalized for 2021 = Sum of weighted expenditure for for 2021 * Interest on construction loan = $426,000 * 12% = $51,120

Therefore, interest capitalized for 2021 was $51,120.

MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?

Answers

Answer: D) Projects A and C

Explanation:

The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.

Cost of Equity

= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)

= 17.6%

After tax cost of debt

= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)

= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)

= 7%

WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)

= 4.2% + 7.04%

= 11.24%

Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.
