Answer 1

Answer:

1. B. 3.14

2. C. 1.12

Explanation:

1. Times Interest Earned ratio

Measures how well a company is able to cover it's debt obligations using it's earnings.

The formula is simply,

= Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense

Therefore,

Times Interest Earned ratio = 116/37

= 3.14

HHF's times interest earned ratio is Option B, 3.14.

2. Debt to Equity Ratio

This ratio compares the debt used to fund a company vs it's equity. It measures how much of either way used to fund the company.

The formula is,

= Total Debt / Total Equity

= 540/484

= 1.12

HHF's Debt to Equity ratio is 1.12, Option C.

Check all true statements regarding CMBS:

a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS

b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS

c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans

d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal

Answers

Answer: A and D only

Explanation:

CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.

Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal

Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.

Answer:

a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS

d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal

Explanation:

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.

a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.

d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

Oklahoma enacts a law requiring all businesses in the state to donate 10 percent of their profits to Protestant churches that provide services to indigent persons. Price-Lo Mart files a law suit to block the enforcement of the law. The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.

Answers

Answer: d. the Establishment clause.

Explanation:

The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.

Answer:

The establishment clause.

Explanation:

Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.

As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.

Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A

Answers

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.

Answers

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1

Answers

Answer:

Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 -  $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 -  $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353

Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.

Explanation:

(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.

(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850

At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590

At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.

(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3

At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737

At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 -  $77,737) = $25,910

At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 -  $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.

The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money

The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.

Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.

Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?

1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.

2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.

3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.

Which of the following give the real value of a variable?

1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.

2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.

3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.

Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a beignet is $6.00.

In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is _________

Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage (increases/decreases/remains the same) and the real value of her wage ____________

Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ________ nominal variables and ______ real variables.

Answers

Answer:

1. Relative price = $3

2. Increases

3. affects , not affect

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

1) The relative price of a paperback novel in 2016 = Maria,s wage ÷ Price of a paperback novel

= $54÷$18

= $3

2) Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value increases and the real value of Maria's wage remains the same.

3)Monetary neutrality is proposition that the change in the money supply affects the nominal variables but it does not affect the real variables.

Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing land (basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $120,000). John received a 60% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing $180,000 of cash. Three years after the contribution date, the land contributed by Brooke is sold by the partnership to a third party for $150,000. What gain must Brooke recognize on the land contribution when establishing the partnership

Answers

Answer:

$102,000

Explanation:

According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :

Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )

Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.

So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.

Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

Answers

Answer:

A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.

Explanation:

Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change  is insignificant (materiality principle).

Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.

Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10

Answers

Answer:

The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.

Total employees of in Production Department is=  10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20

Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20

Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750

                                                       

Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department

Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500

2                  $2,212,500                          11%                 -$233,500

3                   $1,475,000                          17%                  -$115,500

4                   $737,500                             34%                 -$56,500

ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100

Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation

Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)

Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.

Answers

Answer:

Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000

Explanation:

Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.

Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.

In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.

Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000

If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then a. a single firm cannot serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost. b. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. c. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient. d. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C) If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Explanation:

Natural monopoly occurs when there is a hig cost of entry into a particular market niche. The high cost is usually caused by expensive equipment and infrastructural set up for manufacturing as well as maintenance costs.

Therefore, If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Distribution of water falls into the category of natural monopoly. Due to the prevailing circumstances, Fixed cost is larger comparable to variable cost such that it is cheaper for a single firm to serve the market.

Medallion Cooling​ Systems, Inc., has total assets of $9,800,000​, EBIT of $2,050,000​, and preferred dividends of $201,000 and is taxed at a rate of 40%. In an effort to determine the optimal capital​ structure, the firm has assembled data on the cost of​ debt, the number of shares of common stock for various levels of​ indebtedness, and the overall required return on​ investment:

Capital structure/debt Cost of​ debt Number of stock shares Rate of​ return
0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2
45 12.1 111,000 16.3
60 15.2 75,000 20.1

Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.

Answers

Answer:

Earnings per share:

0% debt = $5.145 per share

15% debt = $5.487 per share

30% debt = $6.203 per share

45% debt =  $6.386 per share

60% debt = $6.570 per share

Explanation:

The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.

Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends

Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding

To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.

Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax

Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure

Tax = EBT * tax rate

a. 0% debt

Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000

Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000   =  $5.145 per share

b. 15% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000

EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078)  =  $1935340

Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204

Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000   =  $5.487 per share

c. 30% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000

EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091)   =  $1782460

Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476

Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000   =  $6.203 per share

d. 45% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000

EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121)   =  $1516390

Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834

Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000   =  $6.386 per share

e. 60% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000

EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152)  =  $1156240

Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744

Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000   =  $6.570 per share

Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places

Answers

Answer:

42,51%

Explanation:

Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment

Calculation of Average Profits

Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years

                        = (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10

                        = $2,510,000 / 8

                        = $313,750

Calculation of Average Investment

Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2

                                  = $1,476,000/2

                                  = $738,000

Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100

                                                      = 42,51%

The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:

Answers

Answer:

Blackstone Corporation

1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:

Cost of Land =              $600,000

Broker's Commission =  $36,000

Legal Fees  =                    $6,000

Title Insurance =              $18,000

Razing of old building =  $75,000

Total  =                          $735,000

2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:

Payment to contractor for building =  $3,000,000

Plans, specifications, and blueprints =      $12,000

Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000

Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000

Total =                                                    $3,191,000

Explanation:

a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed.  All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized.  The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.

b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date.  The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.

Answers

Answer:

($26,280)

This represents net cash used up by investing activities

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow and vice versa.

Hence net cash provided by investing activities

= $4380 - $30660

= ($26,280)

Other activities are operating and financing activities.
