Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Materials

price variance = $240 Unfavorable

quantity variance = $864 Unfavorable

total variance =  $1,104 Unfavorable

Labor

price variance =  $188 Favorable

quantity variance = $200 Unfavorable

total variance = $12 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Materials

price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

                        = (2,400 × $1.70) - (2,400 × $1.60)

                        = $240 Unfavorable

quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                             = (2,400 × $1.60) - (310 × 6 × $1.60)

                             = $864 Unfavorable

total variance = price variance + quantity variance

                       = $240 + $864

                       = $1,104 Unfavorable

Labor

price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

                        = (1,880 × $9.90) - (1,880 × $10.00)

                        = $188 Favorable

quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                             = (1,880 × $10.00) - (310 × 6 × $10.00)

                             = $200 Unfavorable

total variance = price variance + quantity variance

                       = $188 + (-$200)

                       = $12 Unfavorable

The required investment cost of a​ new, large shopping center is ​$49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be ​$20 million​ (the value of the​ land). The​ project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be ​$14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15​% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile​ venture?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.

Explanation:

Let the minimum annual revenue = X

Therefore,

The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows

X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)

Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.

X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)

X(5.847) = 130.858

X = 130.858 / 5.847

X = 22.38 millions

The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.4 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.29 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 10.6 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?

Answers

Answer: $50.83

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:

r = required return = 10.6% = 0.106

D0 = Dividend = 3.29

g = growth rate = 4.4% = 0.044

The price per share of the company's stock will be:

= D0(1 + g)/(r - g)

= 3.29(1 + 0.044)/(0.106 - 0.044)

= 3.29(1.044)/(0.062)

= 3.15134/0.062

= $50.83

Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is a. increasing at an increasing rate. b. increasing at a decreasing rate. c. increasing at a constant rate. d. decreasing.

Answers

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.

Answers

Answer:

Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:

1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.

2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.

3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.

4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.

5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.

6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.

Explanation:

For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company.  Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future.   That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.

The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages  and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital will be higher by 0.65% if it has to raise additional common equity capital.

Explanation:

By combining the WACC formula and retained earnings cost of capital,we will arrive at;

WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + Preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × Cost of capital

= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 12.4%

= 2.85% + 0.56% + 4.46%

= 7.87%

Also, using the same WACC formula and using common equity cost of capital, , we will arrive at the below;

WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × cost of capital

= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 14.2%

= 2.85% + 0.56% + 5.11%

= 8.52%

Therefore, increase cost using common equity over retained earnings is [ 8.52% - 7.87%]

= 0.65%

N.B we arrived at 4.92% for after tax by;

Pre tax 8.2%

Current tax rate 40%

= Pre tax × ( 1 - cost of debt)

= 8.2% × ( 1 - 40%)

= 8.2% × 0.6%

= 4.92%

McCall Corporation has a capital structure consisting of 55 percent common equity, 30 percent debt, and 15 percent preferred stock. Any debt issues would have a pre-tax cost of 9.5%. Preferred stock can be issued for a cost of 11.5%. Common equity can be issued, but flotation costs of $4.25 per share of common stock would be paid. McCall common stock is currently selling in the market at $65 per share. McCall recently paid a dividend of $4 per share and company earnings and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% indefinitely. McCall has a marginal tax rate of 35% and the firm wants to keep its current capital structure. If the firm needs to raise additional equity, what will be the firm's cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 12.14%

Explanation:

Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%

Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%

Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g

Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%

WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

The GoT cups are a fast seller and you need to ensure that you have enough rolls of paper to fulfill demand. The first stage in the process is to determine the total cost of the current inventory ordering model. Given the following information, how many rolls should they order to minimize costs?H: $1.75 per unitD: 500 rolls per monthQ: 100 units ordered at a timeS: $25 per order

Answers

Answer:

EOQ = 414 rolls

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.

DATA

Holding cost = $1.75/unit

Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls

Ordering cost = $25

Formula

EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]

Where

Co = ordering cost

D = Annual demand

Ch = Holding cost

Solution

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]

EOQ = 414 rolls

They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.

Answer:

119 units

Explanation:

The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]

EOQ is 119 units.

In 2019, Tim sells Section 1245 property for $28,000 that he had purchased in 2009. Tim has claimed $5,000 in depreciation on the property and originally purchased it for $15,000. How much of the gain is taxable as ordinary income?

Answers

Answer:

The taxable amount at an ordinary rate = $5000

Explanation:

The selling price of a property in 2019 is = $28000

The depreciation on the property = $5000

Original purchased price of property = $15000

Adjusted tax = an orginal price – depreciation  

Adjusted tax = 15000 – 5000 = $10000

Gain = selling price – adjusted tax

Gain = 28000 – 10000 = $18000

The part of gain ($18000) that is taxable as ordinary rate = $5000

Here, $13000 will be taxed as section 1231 as a gained tax at capital gain rate.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 6.6 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,056. These bonds make annual payments and mature 11 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 4.5 percent. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. If the inflation rate was 3.2 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

14.25%

Explanation:

For computing the total real return first we have to find out the present value and the required return which is shown below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 4.5%

NPER = 11 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6.6% = $66

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula the present value is $1,179.11

Now the required return is

= ($1,179.11 + $66) ÷ ($1,056) -1

= 17.91%

And finally,

total real return

= ($1.1791 ÷ 1.032) - 1

= 14.25%

Answers

Answer;

A. Todd, an American, going to visit Jamaica for spring break. - Loser

The US dollar depreciating means that it now takes more US dollars to buy Jamaican dollars. Todd will afford less Jamaican dollars when he goes to Jamaica.

B. An investment bank in Jamaica that is interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds. - Winner

The Investment bank will see that their domestic currency is stronger than it was therefore they can buy more US dollars. As a result it will be cheaper for the Investment bank to buy U.S. Government bonds.

C. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires in Jamaica. - Winners.

Goodyear will be winners because when they sell their tires in Jamaican dollars and then convert it to USD, they will.get more dollars from the transaction than before.

D. A family from Jamaica visiting relatives in the U.S. - Winners

As the Jamaican family will be able to buy more US dollars than before, they are winners.

E. A firm from Jamaica selling handbags in the U.S. - Losers.

As the firm sells in the US, they sell in US dollars. When they try to convert their sales to Jamaican dollars, they will get less than before.

F. U.S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is purchasing a high tech company in Jamaica. - Losers.

The depreciation of the US dollar means than HP will have to spend more dollars purchasing the company than before because the purchase price of the company will be stated in Jamaican dollars.

Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%

Answers

Answer:

Decision = Make

Explanation:

The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows

DATA

Direct material = $4  (100% variable)

Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)

Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)

Total cost per unit = $21

Offered price = $18.5 per unit

Total units = 58,000

Solution

Incremental cost of making

Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000

Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000

Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600

Total cost = $825,600

Incremental cost of buying

Total cost = No. of units x offered price

Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5

Total cost = $1,073,000

Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.

As assistant to the CFO of Boulder Inc., you must estimate the Year 1 cash flow for a project with the following data:

Sales revenues $13,000
Depreciation $4,000
Other operating costs $6,000
Tax rate 35.0%

What is the Year 1 cash flow?
a. $6,962
b. $5,950
c. $7,438
d. $5,177
e. $7,378

Answers

Answer:

$5,950

Explanation:

Boulder incorporation reported the following data for year 1

Sales revenue= $13,000

Depreciation= $4,000

Other operating costs= $6,000

Tax rate= 35%

The first step is to calculate the EBIT

= sales revenue-operating costs-depreciation

= $13,000-$6,000-$4,000

= $3,000

Therefore, the cash flow for year 1 can be calculated as follows

= 3,000×35/100

= 3,000×0.35

= 1,050

= 3,000-1,050

= 1,950

Cash flow= 4,000+1,950

= $5,950

Hence the cash flow for year 1 is $5,950

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000

Answers

Answer:

$26000

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

we first calculate collection flaot:

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate disbursements float:

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= $26000

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?

Answers

Answer:

0.296875

Explanation:

Given the following :

Probability distribution of risky funds :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)

Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%

Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%

Correlation between funds return = 0.15

Sure rate = 5.5%

To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :

Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment

For the stock fund :

Expected return = 15%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 32%

Sharpe ratio of stock fund :

(15% - 5.5%) / 32%

= 9.5% / 32%

= 0.296875

For Bond fund :

Expected return = 9%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 23%

Sharpe ratio of bond fund :

(9% - 5.5%) / 23%

= 3.5% / 23%

= 0.1521739

Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875

a. Ease of formation: This business is very easy to form because owners are not required to have legal documentation for the business to begin operation.

b. Liability of Owners: Owners are personally liable for the success or failure of the business. This means that they bear the cost of whatever debt or losses that are incurred in the business and can be sued for it.

c. Management: The owner makes all the management decisions that could affect the business. He sets the time when his business can be run as well as the prices for his products.

d. Tax Implications: They fill out Schedule C where they calculate the profit and loss from their business. They declare their income in Standard Form 1040 and they are subject to Self-employment tax.

2. General Partnership is a business agreement between to or more owners.

a. Ease of Formation: It is quite easy to start this business because little or no legal documentation is required to kick-start the business.

b. Liability: All partners are liable for debts and losses incurred in the business.

c. Management Decisions: The management decisions are made by the general partners. This affords them a measure of flexibility.

d. Tax implications: Income tax is not paid rather, a separate tax return form is filed.

3. Limited Liability Company: These business entities are run by two or more business partners.

a. Ease of Formation: It is relatively easy to form because it is governed by state rules and regulations which must be adhered to by the business owners.

b. Liability: There is a limited liability as just the business assets can be withheld when there is a legal battle. Personal assets of partners can not be withheld.

c. Management Decisions: There could be a member-managed LLC where members make decisions in the business or a manager-managed LLC one or two non-members are employed to manage the business and make business decisions therein.

d. Taxation: Taxation is done once and profits realized are passed through to the personal income taxes of the members.

4. Corporations are set up by a group of businesspeople.

a. Ease of Formation: They are not easy to form as proper documentation which is governed by state laws must be adhered to.

b. Liability: There is a limited liability as shareholders are not held accountable for the debts and losses of the corporation.
