Answer: $583,333
Explanation:
Compensation expense for 2021 = Total compensation / Vesting period
Total compensation:
Assuming the goal given is probable, the total compensation is:
= Number of shares * fair value
= 250,000 * 7
= $1,750,000
Vesting period = number of years goal is to be in effect = 3 years
Compensation expense 2021 = 1,750,000 / 3
= $583,333
Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 9% with semiannual payments of $45, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,180.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,090.
Required:
a. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to maturity (YTM)?
b. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to call (YTC)?
c. Assuming interest rates remain at current levels, will the bond issue be called?
Answer:
a. Nper = 30
PMT = 45
FV = `1000
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTM) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%
b. Nper = 10
PMT = 45
Call Price = 1090
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTC) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%
C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.

Nakatomi Corporation produces 10,000 units of Product A at a cost of $20 per unit. A detailed breakdown of the cost is below. Per Unit Variable costs $ 12 Allocated manufacturing overhead costs 3 Allocated general administrative costs 5 $ 20 Outside supplier's offer $ 17 What are the total relevant cost of producing the units internally
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
Fixed costs are not considered to be relevant costs because they will be incurred by the business regardless. Variable costs are therefore the only relevant costs and in this case the variable costs are:
= Number of units * variable costs per unit
= 10,000 units * 12
= $120,000
MC Qu. 91 Raven Company has a target of earning... Raven Company has a target of earning $70,100 pre-tax income. The contribution margin ratio is 32%. What amount of dollar sales must be achieved to reach the goal if fixed costs are $36,200
Answer:
The amount of dollar sales must be achieved to reach the goal is $331,875.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Amount of dollar sales required = (Targeted pre-tax income + Fixed costs) / Contribution margin ratio ……..(1)
Where:
Amount of dollar sales required = ?
Targeted pre-tax income = $70,000
Fixed costs = $36,200
Contribution margin ratio = 32%, or 0.32
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
Amount of dollar sales required = ($70,000 + $36,200) / 0.32 = $106,200 / 0.32 = $331,875
Thereforee, the amount of dollar sales must be achieved to reach the goal is $331,875.
Refer to Exhibit 15-5. Assume that the economy starts out in short-run equilibrium. An economist who believes that the economy is not self-regulating would assert that the government should use _________________ fiscal policy to close the existing ___________________ gap.
Answer: b. Contractionary; Inflationary gap
Explanation:
If the economy starts out at the short-run, the GDP would be higher than the GDP if we were using the Long Run Aggregate Supply Curve which shows what the potential GDP is.
This means that the Actual GDP is higher than the potential GDP and when this happens there will be an inflationary gap because prices will be higher than they should be as the economy is overheated.
In order to close this inflationary gap, the government should embark on contractionary fiscal policies that would reduce economic activity and bring GDP down to the potential level.
Swifty Corporation is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Swifty would sell it for $56. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $20 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $69 on the assembled unit. What decision should Swifty make
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Assembled product
Cost = $24 + $20 = $44
Selling price = $69
Profit = $69 - $44 = $25
Unassembled product
Cost = $24
Selling price = $56
Profit = $56 - $24 = $32
Therefore, Swifty corporation should sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $7

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method. Multiple Choice $66,000. $25,800. $24,000. $54,000. $48,000.
Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method.
Using this formula
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation Expense = ($135,000 - $15,000)/5
Depreciation Expense=$120,000/5
Depreciation Expense= $24,000
Therefore the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method is $24,000

Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $350, the unit variable cost is $290, and the total fixed costs are $780,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $390.
Required:
a. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased to the proposed $390, and all costs remain constant.
Solution :
a). [tex]\text{The contribution margin per unit = }[/tex][tex]\text{selling price per unit - variable cost per unit}[/tex]
= $ 350 - $ 290
= $60
The current break even sales = [tex]$\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution margin per unit}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{780,000}{60}$[/tex]
= 13,000 units
Therefore, the current break-even sales (units) = 13,000 units
b). The Contribution Margin Ratio = Selling Price Per Unit - Variable Cost Per Unit
= $390 - $290
= $ 100
[tex]$\text{Break even sales}=\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution margin per unit}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{780,000}{100}$[/tex]
= 7,800 units.
So, the answer is 7800 units.

I hope it helped❤hey buddy can u do a favor to meif u don't mind ......plz subscribe to my UTube channel - gtron9528Growing, Inc. is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.70. You believe that dividends will grow at a rate of 25.0% per year for two years, and then at a rate of 5.0% per year thereafter. You expect the stock will sell for $35.09 in two years. You expect an annual rate of return of 23.0% on this investment. If you plan to hold the stock indefinitely, what is the most you would pay for the stock now
Answer:
$38.98
Explanation:
The maximum amount a rational investor would pay for the stock is the present value of its future dividends and the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 2(the price at the end of year 2) discounted at the investor's rate of return which is 23.0%
Year 1 dividend=$7.70*(1+25.0%)=$9.63
Year 2 dividend=$9.63*(1+25.0%)=$12.04
Share price at the end of year 2=$35.09(the 5.0% is of no use since terminal value beyond has been given)
price of the stock=$9.63/(1+23.0%)^1+$12.04/(1+23.0%)^2+$35.09/(1+23.0%)^2
price of the stock=$38.98
Job candidates are leaving an office every 50 minutes. Each candidate goes through three activities during the office visit: verification, written test, and interview. Verification takes 1 minute, the written test takes 40 minutes, and the interview takes 10 minutes. Assume there is only one resource dedicated to each activity. What is the utilization of the bottleneck resource?
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the utilization of the bottleneck resource
First step is to calculate the Flow rate
Flow rate = 1/50
Flow rate = 0.02 customer per minute.
Second step is to calculate the Bottleneck capacity
Bottleneck capacity = Min(1, 1/40, 1/10)
Bottleneck capacity= 0.025 customer per minute.
Now let determine the Utilization of the bottleneck resource using this formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource = Flow rate/Capacity
Let plug in the formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 0.02/0.025
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 80%.
Therefore the utilization of the bottleneck resource is 80%
Beta Inc. can produce a unit of Zed for the following costs: Direct material $ 10 Direct labor 20 Overhead 50 Total costs per unit $ 80 An outside supplier offers to provide Beta with all the Zed units it needs at $58 per unit. If Beta buys from the supplier, it will still incur 40% of its overhead. Beta should:
Answer: Beta should buy from the outside supplier
Explanation:
If Beta produces the product itself, only avoidable costs would be accounted for:
= Direct labor + Direct material + Unavoidable overhead
= 10 + 20 + ( (1 - 40%) * 50)
= 10 + 20 + 30
= $60
If however, Beta buys the product, they will buy at $58 per unit which is less than the $60 they would make it for.
Beta should buy the product because they will be able to save $2 per unit.

Jeong Company began operations on January 1, 2020, and uses the Average Cost method in costing its raw material inventory. Management is contemplating a change to the FIFO method and is interested in determining what effect such a change will have on net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed:
Final Inventory 2017 2018
FIFO $630000 $635000
LIFO 510000 600000
Net Income (computed under the FIFO method) 910000 1260000
Based on the above information, a change to the LIFO method in 2018 would result in net income for 2018 of:___________
Answer: $1,225,000
Explanation:
LIFO means that when inventory is sold, only the most recent inventory is sold as opposed to FIFO where the earliest inventory is sold before the recent ones.
With FIFO, net income is usually higher because prices generally increase so LIFO will have a higher Cost of Goods sold.
Net income under LIFO = Net income under FIFO - Difference between FIFO and LIFO for the year
= 1,260,000 - (635,000 - 600,000)
= 1,260,000 - 35,000
= $1,225,000

Given the following information, determine the amount of cash on the balance sheet, assuming that the company has only three assets.
Liabilities equal $3,350
Owner's equity equals $28,000
Supplies equal $2,000
Land equals $23,500
