Seacrest Company has 15,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $50 par and 50,000 shares of $5 par common stock. The following amounts were distributed as dividends:

Year 1 $30,000
Year 2 12,000
Year 3 45,000

Required:
Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cumulative Preferred Stock must always pay out Dividends and when they cannot, the amount unpaid will be accrued for payment to another year when it can be paid.

When Dividends are declared, Preference Shareholders are paid first and then common shareholders follow.

Year 1

Preference Shares = Number of shares * Par value * %

= 15,000 * 50 * 2%

= $15,000

Common Shareholders will get the rest;

= 30,000 - 15,000

= $15,000

Year 2.

Preference Shareholders are still due $15,000 however only $12,000 is available. They will take all of it and be owed $3,000.

Preference Shares, Year 2 = $12,000

Common Shareholders get nothing.

Year 3.

Preference Shareholders are owed $15,000 for the year. They are also owed $3,000 from the previous year.

Preference Shares = 15,000 + 3,000

= $18,000

Common Shareholders will get the remainder;

= 45,000 - 18,000

= $27,000

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested. a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now

Answers

Answer:

Total future value= $408,334.38

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.

First, we will determine the future value of the annual deposit investment. We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {3,000*[(1.08^30) - 1]} / 0.08

FV= $339,849.63

Now, for the $10,000:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 10,000*(1.08^25)

FV= $68,484.75

Total future value= 339,849.63 + 68,484.75

Total future value= $408,334.38

Redford's salary was $123,000 in 2019. What would his total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from his salary be for the year?

Answers

Answer:

$9,409.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from Redford's salary for the year

For the year 2019 the total FICA tax rate is 7.65%

Which are :

OASDI tax = 6.2%

+ Medicare tax =1.45%

Now let calculated the amount of OASDI tax for Redford's salary

Using this formula

OASDI tax =Salary ×OASDI tax rate

Let plug in the formula

OASDI tax =$123,000×6.2%

OASDI tax =$7,626

Let let calculated the amount of the Medicare tax for Redford's salary

Using this formula

Medicare tax =Salary ×Medicare tax rate

Let plug in the formula

Medicare tax=$123,000*1.45%

Medicare tax=$1,783.50

Total combined FICA tax

OASDI tax =$7,626

Medicare tax=$1,783.50

Total=$9,409.50

Therefore what the total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from his salary will be for the year is $9,409.50

A U.S. manufacturing company operating a subsidiary in an LDC (less-developed country) shows the following results:
U.S. LDC
Sales (units) 100,000 20,000
Labor (hours) 20,000 15,000
Raw materials (currency) $20,000 FC 20,000
Capital equipment (hours) 60,000 5,000
a. Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. Do the results seem confusing?
b. Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. Do the results make more sense?
c. Calculate raw material productivity figures (units/$ where $1=FC 10). Explain why these figures might be greater in the subsidiary.

Answers

Answer:

a. Labor Productivity:

Country     Sales (Units)    Labour (hours)     Productivity (Sales/Labour hours)

U.S              100,000              20,000              5 units / hours

LDC             20,000                15,000               1.33 units/ hours

Capital Productivity

Country     Sales (Units)    Capital (hours)     Productivity (Sales/Capital hours)

U.S              100,000               60,000                1.67 units / hour

LDC             20,000                 5,000                  4 units / hours

Conclusion: Yes, the result seems confusing. The labour productivity in U.S. is higher than LDC while the capital productivity in U.S. is lower than LDC which is contradictory.

b. Multi-factor productivity for Labor and Capital

Country      Sales                  Input                  Productivity

                  (Units)         (Labor + Capital)       (units/hours)

U.S.          100,000                80,000                1.25 units/hour

                                       (20,000 + 60,000)

LDC           20,000                 20,000                1 units/hour

                                        (15,000 + 5,000)

Conclusion: Yes it make sense as multi-factor productivity is better than partial productivity. Labor and capital are subtitles and that gives better presentation of the productivity.

c. Raw material productivity

Country      Sales           Raw material            Productivity

                  (Units)            (Currency)              (units/hours)

U.S.            100,000         $20,000                  5 units per dollar

LDC            20,000          = $2,000                 10 units per dollar        

Conclusion: The figures are greater in subsidiary because the price paid for raw material is much slower than the parent country.

 

Note: $1 = FC 10

$20,000 = FC 10

FC = $20,000 / 10 = $2,000

Concord Corporation had 2020 net income of $809,000. During 2020, Concord paid a dividend of $2 per share on 60,500 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Concord had outstanding 215,000 shares of common stock.

Required:
Compute Concord's 2020 earnings per share.

Answers

Answer:

$3.2 per share

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net income - (preferred stock shares × dividend paid] ÷ Outstanding shares of common stock

= [($809,000 - ( 60,500 × $2 per share)] ÷ 215,000

= [$809,000 - ( $121,000)] ÷ 215,000

= $809,000 - $121,000 ÷ 215,000

= $688,000 ÷ 215,000

= $3.2 per share

b. Which crew size works best?

Answers

Answer:

a. Labor productivity is calculated as: Labor productivity = Total Yards Installed / Total Crew Size

Hence, the labor productivity for each week is;

Week 1 = 97 / 4 = 24.25

Week 2 = 71 / 3 = 23.67

Week 3 = 98 / 4 = 24.5

Week 4 = 54 / 2 = 27

Week 5 = 63 / 3 = 21

Week 6 = 52 / 2 = 26

b. A crew of size 2 works the best as they generate the highest labor productivity of 27. The crew with highest number generate a labor productivity of 24.5

On January 2 2018, Maxwell Furniture purchased display shelving for $8,100 cash, expecting the shelving to remain in service for five years. Maxwell depreciated the shelving on a double-declining-balance basis, with $1,800 estimated residual value. On October 31, 2019, the company sold the shelving for $2,700 cash.
Requirement:
Record both the depreciation expense on the shelving for and its sale in . Also show how to compute the gain or loss on the disposal of the shelving.

The treasurer of Riley Coal Co. is asked to compute the cost of fixed income securities for her corporation. Even before making the calculations, she assumes the aftertax cost of debt is at least 3 percent less than that for preferred stock.

Debt can be issued at a yield of 11.0 percent, and the corporate tax rate is 20 percent. Preferred stock will be priced at $60 and pay a dividend of $6.40. The flotation cost on the preferred stock is $6.

a. Compute the aftertax cost of debt. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Compute the aftertax cost of preferred stock. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
c. Based on the facts given above, is the treasurer correct?

Answers

Answer:

a. Compute the after tax cost of debt.

after tax cost of debt = 11% x (1 - tax rate) = 11% x 0.8 = 8.8%

b. Compute the after tax cost of preferred stock.

after tax cost of preferred stock = cost of preferred stock (no taxes are deducted for paying preferred dividends since they are paid in capital)

cost of preferred stocks = $6.40 / ($60 - $6) = $6.40 / $54 = 11.85%

The 2016 annual report for Mega Mills disclosed that 1 billion shares of common stock have been authorized. At the end of 2015, 760 million shares had been issued and the number of shares in treasury stock was 101 million. During 2016, the only common share transactions were that 18 million common shares were reissued from treasury and 24 million common shares were purchased and held as treasury stock.Required: Determine the number of common shares a. Issued b. In treasuryc. Outstanding at the end of 2016.

Answers

Answer:

a. 760 million shares

b. 107 million shares

c. 653 million shares

Explanation:

a. The number of Issued stock is unchanged because Issued stock encompasses both outstanding and treasury stock.

b. Treasury Stock = Beginning balance - Reissued from treasury + repurchased for treasury

= 101 - 18 + 24

= 107 million shares

c. Outstanding stock = Issued Stock - Treasury Stock

= 760 - 107

= 653 million shares

Dermody Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $2,960 per month plus $326 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 20 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 18 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $9,770. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to: rev: ________

a. $290 U
b. $290 F
c. $942 U

Answers

Answer:

c. $942 U

Explanation:

Spending variance = Standard cost at 20 snow days - Actual operating cost.

Spending variance = [$2,960 + ($326*18)] - $9,770

Spending variance = $8,828 - $9,770

Spending variance = $942 (Unfavorable).

Note: The actual level of activity = 18 snow-days.

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $700 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 7% and the expected rate of return on the market is 14%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)

Answers

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

using the CAPM,

The expected rate of return = risk free rate + beta(market rate of return - risk free rate)

if beta is 0,

7% + 0 X(14% - 7%) = 7%

If beta is 1,

7% + 1 X(14% - 7%) = 14%

Present value of a perpetuity = amount / expected rate of return

if beta is 0, present value = $700 / 7% = $100

if beta is 1, present value = $700 / 14% = $50

the amount offered will differ by $100 - $50 = $50

Assuming you are a rational investor, the amount you should be willing to pay for a 20-year ordinary annuity that makes payments of $4,000 per year and you require a 6% rate of return per year is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

PV= $45,879.68

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $4,000 annually

n= 20

i= 6% compunded annually

The maximum that an investor should pay is the present value (PV).

First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {4,000*[(1.06^20) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $147,142.36

Now, we can calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 147,142.36/(1.06^20)

PV= $45,879.68

Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year, she earned a total of 8,588. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% of the first $118,500 of employee earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,424.97. Her net pay for the month is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
a) $7,038.50
b) $5,141.03
c) $6,072.04
d) $6,566.00
e) $6,506.04

Answers

Answer: e) $6,506.04

Explanation:

Employees do not pay FUTA or SUTA. Employers pay those.

Ms. Grant's net pay for the month therefore is;

= Gross earnings - FICA Social Security - FICA Medicare - Federal Income tax withheld

= 8,588 - (6.2% * 8,588) - ( 1.45% * 8,588) - 1,424.97

= 8,588 - ‭532.46 - ‭124.53 - 1,424.97

= $6,506.04‬

Your parents put $300 into an account paying 11 percent interest for you when you were ten. Ten years later they tell you that you can take the money out of the account. What is the balance to the nearest penny

Answers

Answer:

The balance in the account = $851.8

Explanation:

The future value of a lump sum is the amount expected at a future date when a sum of money is invested today at a particular rate of interest for certain number of years

.

This implies compounding the initial amount invested ($300) at the given interest rate(11%) for 10 years.This will be done as follows:

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV-Future value

r- rate of return per period

n- Number of period

PV - 300

r-11%

FV- ?

PV - 300

n- 10

FV= 300 × 1.11^10 = 851.83

The balance in the account = $851.8

Vince offers to buy a book owned by Sun-Hi for twice what Sun-Hi paid for it. She accepts and hands the book to Vince. Sun-Hi's delivery of the book is

Answers

Answer:

Vince and Sun-Hi's Book

With Sun-Hi's delivery of the book, the offer by Vince is accepted by Sun-Hi.

Acceptance of an offer is necessary to make a contract.

Explanation:

An offer by Vince is not a contract, but its acceptance by Sun-Hi without a counter-offer makes it a valid contract that can be enforced in law if other ingredients for a valid contract are present.  Acceptance establishes the agreement between Vince and Sun-Hi.  Once Sun-Hi accepts Vince's offer with valid considerations (the book and double the price), the agreement for a business transaction between them is consummated.  It is acceptance that completes the exchange of promises in this simple contract.

Galactic Inc. is considering an investment in new equipment that will be used to manufacture a smartphone. The phone is expected to generate additional annual sales of 4,500 units at $212 per unit. The equipment has a cost of $418,500, residual value of $31,500, and an eight-year life. The equipment can only be used to manufacture the phone. The cost to manufacture the phone follows: Cost per unit: Direct labor $36.00 Direct materials 140.00 Factory overhead (including depreciation) 24.00 Total cost per unit $200.00 Determine the average rate of return on the equipment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent. 18 %

Answers

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return is shown below;

As we know that

The Average rate of return = Net income ÷ Average investment

where,

Net income is

= (Selling price per unit - totat cost per unit) × additional units sales

= ($212 - $200) × $4,500 units

= $54,000

And, the average investment is

= (cost price + equipment) ÷ 2

= ($418,500 + $31,500) ÷ 2

= $225,000

So, the average rate of return is

= $54,000 ÷ $225,000 × 100

= 24%

Answer:

Galactic Inc.

Average Rate of Return: = Annual Net Income/Average Investment cost

= $54,000/$225,000 x 100

= 24%

Explanation:

Galactic Inc. Income Statement:

Sales Revenue, 4,500 x $212 = $954,000

Cost, 4,500 x $200 =                   900,000

Annual Net Income =                   $54,000

Average Investment in equipment = $225,000 ($418,500 + 31,500)/2

b) Galactic Inc.'s average rate of return (ARR) on the equipment is average (annual) net income that the equipment generates divided by the average cost of the investment, and then multiplied by 100.  The average cost of the investment equals the (initial book value + the residual value)/2.  The ARR also known as the Accounting Rate of Return does not take into consideration the time value of money.  As such, the net income is not discounted to the present value before the computation of the ratio.

c) Since Clemenson accounts for the Treasury Stock transactions using the cost method, it means that all treasury transactions are recorded directly in the Treasury Stock account based on their cost and not the par value.  This method of using the cost is one of the two methods for accounting for treasury stock transactions.  The other method, which Clemenson can use is the par value method.  Under this second method, Clemenson will record the above and below par value differences in the Paid-in Capital in excess of par account instead of the Treasury Stock account.  While the treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account, in Clemenson's case, the Treasury Stock balance is not a debit but a credit balance.
