Answer:

Journal entry to record the bond retirement at Jan 1, 2023

Bond payable Dr $78,000

Loss on redemption Dr $5,265

Discount on bonds payable Cr $1,755

Cash. Cr 81,510

Explanation:

Bonds issued at 97%

$390,000 × 97%

= $378,300

Discount difference between cash proceeds and face value

= $390,000 -$378,300

= $11,700

If bonds are discounted using straight line,

$11,700 ÷ 20 year

= $585

At 2022, there is 5 amortization

= $585 × 5

= $2,925

Discount value

= $11,700 - $2,925

= $8,775

Carrying value

= $390,000 - $8,775

= $381,225

Therefore, $390,000 bonds payable × 20% × 104.5%

= $81,510

Carrying book value of 20%

$381,225 × 20%

= $76,245

Loss on redemption

= $81,510 - $76,245

= $5,265

Therefore,

20% of the face value

= $390,000 × 20%

= $78,000

20% of the discount

= $8,775 × 20%

= $1,755

Loss on redemption = $5,265

Cash disbursement = $81,510

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:

Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000

Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?

Answers

Answer:

81%

Explanation:

Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used

Using this formula

Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)

Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000

Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000

Markup percentage=0.81*100

Markup percentage=81%

Calculation for Total variable costs

Variable product cost per unit $19

Variable administrative cost per unit $11

Total variable costs =$30

Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%

True or false: At 2019 year-end, a government has $25,000 of outstanding encumbrances. The 2019 Budgetary Comparison Scheduled will include the $25,000 whether or not the encumbrances lapse at year-end.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The 2019 Budgetary Comparison Schedule will include the $25,000 whether or not the encumbrances lapse at the year-end, either as outstanding encumbrances or settled encumbrances.  These $25,000 encumbrances are budget reservations of appropriations so that they can be used to settle specified expenditures in the future.  The purpose of making these reservations is to signal that the expenditures have been earmarked so that their cash allocations are not used for other purposes.

What is the marginal cost of producing the third unit?​
a. ​$400
b. ​$300
c. ​$200
d. $100

Answers

Answer:

Harvey's Hardware

Marginal cost of producing the third lawnmowers:

d. $100

Explanation:

Harvey's marginal cost for producing the third unit of lawnmowers is the additional cost that resulted when the total cost increased from $200 to  $300.  However, it can be deciphered from the case that the marginal cost for Harvey, which it is supposed to be  a variable cost, is traceable to the direct labor costs.  This implies that the fixed cost element for Harvey in the production of the lawnmowers has been relatively fixed at $100.  It does not vary with the volume of production, while the direct labor costs vary with the volume of lawnmowers produced by Harvey.

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?

Answers

Answer: $1.46

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares

Value of shares at current = 9,000/600

= $15 a share

Excess cash is $1,200.

Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;

= 1,200/15

= 80 shares

New number of shares = 600 - 80

= 520 shares

New EPS

= 760/520

= $1.46

Answer:

Each year, public schools are rewarded with bigger budgets for achieving a rating of "excellent" or "recommended" and are punished for rating "needs improvement." These ratings are based on meeting thresholds on a broad set of measures such as attendance rates, graduation rates, standardized test scores, SAT scores, and so on. True or False

This funding structure incentivizes schools to seek out and serve lower-performing students. True False

Explanation:

The funding structure is meant to encourage public schools for improved performance in all the performance measures.  These performance measures are the means to judge whether proper application is being achieved with the funds provided by the government to such schools.  They also encourage healthy competition among public schools when followed judiciously.  Since they have some internal and external benchmarks, the performance measures are like a balanced scorecard for performance evaluation.

If a company has the following data, is the budget variance favorable or unfavorable? Budgeted Sales $10,000 Actual Sales. $8,000

Answers

Answer:

$2,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the budget variance is shown below:

Budget variance is

= Budgeted sales - actual sales

where,

Budgeted sales is $10,000

And the actual sales is $8,000

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the budget variance is

= $10,000 - $8,000

= $2,000 unfavorable

Since the actual sales is less than the budgeted sales so the same is to be unfavorable else it is favorable

What must be the price of a $5,000 bond with a 6.6​% coupon​ rate, semiannual​ coupons, and two years to maturity if it has a yield to maturity of 10​% ​APR?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price = $4698.59

Explanation:

The price of  a bond is equal to the present value of the interest payments, which are in form of an annuity, made by the bond plus the present value of the face value of the bond.

The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

The semi annual coupon rate = 6.6% / 2 = 3.3%

Total period = 2 * 2 = 4

Semi annual YTM = 10% / 2 = 5%

Semi annual coupon payment = 5000 * 0.033 = 165

Bond Price = 165 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.05)^-4) / 0.05]  +  5000 / (1+0.05)^4

Bond Price = $4698.59

When convertible preferred stock is converted into common stock:______.
a. cash is debited.
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.

Answers

Answer:

b. a gain or loss can be recognized.

Explanation:

Convertible preferred stock is an option for shareholders with preferred shares where they have the choice of converting their preferred shares to common shares. The conversion is best done at a time when the common stock is above the conversion price. At this time, the stockholder can make a profit or gain. But if the common share is below the conversion price, the shareholder would most likely record a loss if he converts.

One disadvantage of this conversion process is that, once the preferred stock is converted to the common stock, the preferred shareholder gives up his rights as a preferred shareholder which includes no fixed dividends and higher claims on assets.

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:

Answers

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

The problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the:________


a. ATC curve to shift upward.

b. MR curve to shift leftward.

c. D curve to shift leftward.

d. ATC curve to shift downward.

e. D curve to shift rightward.

Answers

Answer:

a.  ATC curve to shift upward

Explanation:

Average cost pricing is a form of pricing that appears as one of the ways in which the government operates a monopoly market. The government, however, may utilize average cost pricing as a tool to oversee prices monopolists may charge.

In other words, this implies that Monopolists always incline to produce less than the optimal amount boosting the prices up.

Hence, the problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the: "Average Total Cost curve to shift upward." This can be a result of an increase in output and reduction price

Japanese tourists come to experience the magic of Disney World and other attractions around Orlando, Florida. These tourists are:___________
[A] contributing to the United States’ deficit balance of payments.
[B] helping increase the balance of payments for Japan.
[C] exporting products and services back to Japan.
[D] further decreasing the United States’ balance of payments.
[E] helping the United States’ balance of payments.

Answers

Answer:

Option E, helping the United States’ balance of payments, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option “E” is the correct answer because the balance of payment records all the transactions that occurred between the home country and the rest of the word. Therefore, if the foreign tourist spends in the country that means they are helping the balance of payment. This will increase the country’s surplus and the ability to pay the expenses because tourism is helping to generate revenue.

Answers

Answer:

Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

Explanation:

The average collection period can be described as how long it takes a company to get paid by the amount of money its clients are owing it in terms of accounts receivable (AR).

Average collection period can be calculated using the following formula:

ACP = (Accounts receivable / Net sales) * 365 days .............. (1)

Where, for this question;

ACP = Average collection period = ?

Accounts receivable = $70

Net sales = $2,870

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

ACP = ($70 / $2,870) * 365 days

ACP = 0.024390243902439 * 365 days

ACP = 8.90 days, or approximately 9 days

Therefore, Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

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.

'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.

Answer:

a. Rate of Return on the portfolio in each scenario:

Scenario Analysis:

Rate of Return

Scenario                Probability    Stocks     Bonds      Return of Return

Recession                  0.20         -5 %           14 %

= 0.20((-5% x 60%) + (14% x 40%)) = 0.0052 =               0.5%

Normal economy      0.60         15                8

= 0.60((15% x 60%) + (8% x 40%)) =  0.0732 =                7.3%              

Boom                         0.20        25               4

= 0.20((25% x 60%) + (4% x 40%) = 0.0332 =                 3.3%

Weights                     1.00          0.60          0.40

b. Expected rate of return =

Recession =                      0.0052

Normal economy =           0.0732

Boom =                             0.0332

Total expected returns = 0.1116 = 11.2%

Mean = 3.72% (11.2%/3)

Variance = 0.001168

Standard Deviation = 0.034 = 0.03

Explanation:

a) Data:

Scenario Analysis:

Rate of Return

Scenario                Probability    Stocks     Bonds

Recession                  0.20         -5 %           14 %

Normal economy      0.60         15                8

Boom                         0.20        25               4

Weights                     1.00          0.60          0.40

b) The rate of return for each portfolio is derived by weighing the securities, adding the resultant figures and applying the scenario probability.  The expected rate of return is the addition of the returns of all the portfolio under the three scenarios.  The step for obtaining the standard deviation is to calculate the mean, the variance, and getting the square root of the variance.

A manufacturing company is thinking about building a new factory. The new factory, if built, will give a return of $200 million in 4 years, and it would cost $125 million today to build. The company will decide to build the factory if the interest rate is

Answers

Answer:

The company will decide to build the factory if the interest rate is 12.47 %.

Explanation:

The required interest rate r, can be determined as follows ;

PV = - $125 million

n = 4

Pmt = $0

P/yr = 1

FV = $200 million

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the required interest rate r, is 12.4683 or 12.47 % (2 decimal places)

Suppose that hypothetically there are only two countries in the world: Japan and South Korea Now suppose that at the end of year 2, Japan has positive net exports of $20 billion against South Korea. In addition, Japan has earned $1 billion in interest from its South Korean assets over the course of year 2. Question: What are the respective balances for the current account, and the financial and capital account for Japan at the end of year 2

Answers

Answer:

i) $21 billion

ii) $0

iii) $0

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA : ( two countries )

At the end of year 2

net exports = $20 billion for Japan

Interest earned from assets = $1 billion  for Japan

i) The balances for the current account for Japan

export value + interest earned from assets

= $20 billion + $1 billion = $21 billion

ii) Financial account for Japan

Financial account for Japan will be zero because there is no increase or decrease in number of  its assets within the given period

iii) capital account for Japan

Capital account of Japan will will have a zero balance. this is because Capital account is used to record  foreign investments, local  investment and the reserve account as well. and there was no investment captured within the given time that was made by Japan

Discuss three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union. Discuss the five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization g

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union.

1. Greater Bargaining Power

As an individual employee, it can be difficult to negotiate for wage increase or better working condition generally. However, being a member Union, together the group can negotiate and demand for what they feel is right for their members. In a rare occasion, the threat of a strike by a Union is a great tool to bargain well with the employer.

2. Minimize Discrimination

As a Union, it is easier to demand for equality in terms of wage, working condition, promotion, leave etc. Unlike individual employee, who may be facing discrimination from his or her supervisor as to employee related issue. Union can ensure the management used the right policies that seek for equality among all its employees without favoritism or discrimination.

3. Sense of Security

An employee may join the Union on the basis that, Union can save them against abrupt dismissal or other types of work insecurities including accident, injury, illness etc.

Also, Union can help secure retirement benefits and ensure the management improve on the employees' welfare generally.

Five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization

1. Irrelevance appearance of the Union:

Many workers believe that Union is not necessary because in the time of economic boom, getting wage increase and other working benefits can be gotten be individual employee and not necessarily through a Union, and at the same time, during economic downturn, unions often times don't have the capacity to protect their members from layoffs, wage and benefit reductions and tougher working conditions.

2. Poor Image of the Union:

Many employers and employees tend to view union with negativity, in the sense that, often times, their demands can be unreasonable, and are characterized by issue of labor racketeering, mob influence and embezzlement.

3. Unions are Seen as Political:

For some employees, they believe that Union tend to use their money or Union dues to support a political candidate. This in turn has made some employees who are neutral, not wanting to join the Union.

4. Reliance on goverment:

Many employees now believe that, government, not Union gives better form of security and voice to air their opinions. These includes pensions, healthcare, protection.

5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:

Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.

Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 7 percent, and has 15 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 7 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and also has 15 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price today

Bond X = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

Bond Y = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

For Bond X

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 1/2 * 1000 = $45

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 7% * 1/2 = 3.5% or 0.035

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 45 * [( 1 - (1+0.035)^-30) / 0.035]  +  1000 / (1+0.035)^30

Bond Price = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

For Bond Y

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.07 * 1/2 * 1000 = $35

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 9% * 1/2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Bond Price = 35 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-30) / 0.045]  +  1000 / (1+0.045)^30

Bond Price = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11

The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent

Answers

Answer:

11.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) +  (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)

= 3.07% + 8.69%

= 11.76%

Hence, the WACC is 11.76%

We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost
