Suppose a hypothetical economy is currently in a situation of deficient aggregate demand of $64 billion. Four economists agree that expansionary fiscal policy can increase total spending and move the economy out of recession, but they are debating which type of expansionary policy should be used. Economist A believes that the government spending multiplier is 8 and the tax multiplier is 2. Economist B believes that the government spending multiplier is 4 and the tax multiplier is 8. Compute the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief. Then, for each scenario, compute the size of the tax cut that would achieve this same effect. Spending Multiplier Tax Multiplier Policy Options for Closing Output Gap Increase in Spending Tax Cut (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) Economist A 8 2 Economist B 4 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Government needs to fill gap of $64 billions

for economist A

Tax multipler is 2 so to fill a output gap of 64 billions, cut taxes by 64/ 2 = 32 billion

tax have to cut by $32 billions

govt spending multiplier is 8, so spendinh has to increase by 64/8=$8 billions.

for economist B

Tax multipler is 8 so to fill a output gap of 64 billions, cut taxes by 64/ 8= 8 billion

tax have to cut by $8 billions

govt spending multiplier is 4, so spending has to increase by 64/4=$16 billions.

c. This means that Economist C likely believes that:

- Tax cuts induce investment spending and improve workers incentives.This is because cutting the taxes gives an incentive to the workers to work more.

d. A rise in government spending completely crowds out private sector spending, because increased govt spending increases the interest rate, hence private spending is crowded out.

Xerox Corporation is using a predetermined overhead rate of $22.30 per machine-hour that was based on estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead of $446,000 and 20,000 machine-hours for the period. The company incurred actual total fixed manufacturing overhead of $409,000 and 18,200 total machine-hours during the period. The amount of manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$405,860

Explanation:

Data given

Predetermined overhead rate = $22.30

Actual machine hours  = $18,200

The computation of manufacturing overhead applied is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours

= $22.30 × 182,00

= $405,860

Therefore for computing the manufacturing overhead applied we simply multiplied the predetermined overhead rate with actual machine hours.

Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $70 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 12 percent, for new preferred stock, 9 percent, and for new debt, 2 percent. What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project ?

Answers

Answer:

$88,832,487.31

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

FT = flotation cost of new debt percent × target capital debt percent + flotation cost of new common stock percent × target capital common stock percent +  flotation cost of new preferred stock percent × target capital preferred stock percent

= 0.02 × 0.25+ 0.12 × 0.60 + 0.09 × 0.15

= 0.005 + 0.072 + 0.135

= 0.212

Now

True initial cost

= $70 million ÷ ( 1 - 0.212)

= $70 million ÷ 0.788

= $88,832,487.31

Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

(Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.

The Formula are as shown below:-

Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours

Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours

Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate

Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour

Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.

Explanation:

During April, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 18,000 units that were in process at the beginning of April and 90,000 units that were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to labor. At the end of April, 30,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included materials cost of $107,000 and the production department incurred direct materials cost of $329,000 during the month. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method

Answers

Answer:

Cost per equivalent unit of materials = $3.16

Explanation:

Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.

Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units

Total units completed and transferred out= 18,000 + 90000= 108,000

Items                    Unit                                                         Equivalent unit

Completed units    108,000         100% × 108,000 =     108,000

Closing inventory   30,000          100%  ×  30,000 =     30,000

Total equivalent unit of material                                    138,000

Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/Total equivalent unit

=    (107,000 + 329,000) /138,000 units

= $3.16

During November, the company produced 3,900 units of Fludex. Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

Material price variance

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 14,000 × ($22 - $289,800 ÷ 14,000)

= 14,000 × ($22 - $20.70)

= 14,000 × $1.30

= $18,200 favorable

Material quantity variance

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $22 × (3,900 units × 2.5 - 14,000 ounces - 4,050 ounces)

= $22 × (9,750 - 9,950)

= $22 × 200

= $4,400 unfavorable

b. Yes the contract should be signed as it is the actual price i.e $20.70 is less than the standard price $22

Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.

Stiller Corporation incurred fixed manufacturing costs of $24,000 during 2015. Other information for 2015 includes: The budgeted denominator level is 2,000 units. Units produced total 1,500 units. Units sold total 1,200 units. Beginning inventory was zero. The company uses absorption costing and the fixed manufacturing cost rate is based on the budgeted denominator level. Manufacturing variances are closed to cost of goods sold. Operating income using absorption costing will be ________ than operating income if using variable costing.

Answers

Answer:

Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.

Explanation:

The difference between profit under variable costing and under absorption costing is simply the value of the change in inventory.

Usually, a decrease in inventory would cause profit under absorption costing to be lower . This is so because cost of goods sold would become higher leading to a lower profit . And vice versa

Difference in profit = POAR × change inventory

Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR)

= Estimated overhead/ estimated production unit

= $24,000/2,000 units = $12 per unit

Change in inventory = 1500 - 1200= 300 units

Difference in profit = 300 × $12 per unit = $3,600

Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.

A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment

Answers

Answer:

She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Explanation:

Solution

Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment  or

or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000

so

The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.

Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Answer:

NPV = $23,773.65

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-80,000

Cash flow each year for 1 and 2 = $35,000

Cash flow each year for 3 and 4 = $30,000

I = 10%

NPV = $23,773.65

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the cash payment is $20

Explanation:

The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.

The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor

discount factor=1/(1+r)^n

where is the rate of time preference of 5%'

n is 1 i.e in one year's time

total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21

discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238

present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

Merone Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. The company bases its predetermined overhead rate on 2,800 machine-hours. The company's total budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $7,560. In the most recent month, the total actual fixed manufacturing overhead was $6,640. The company actually worked 2,700 machine-hours during the month. The standard hours allowed for the actual output of the month totaled 2,820 machine-hours. What was the overall fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance for the month? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Fixed Overhead Volume Variance $ 54 Favorable

Explanation:

Fixed Overhead Volume variance is the difference between the budgeted fixed overhead and applied fixed overhead.

Budgeted Fixed Overhead = $7,560

Applied Fixed Overhead = Standard Rate * Standard Hours

Standard Rate for Fixed Overhead = $7,560/2,800 = $ 2.7

Applied Fixed Overhead = $ 2.7*2,820= $ 7614

Fixed Overhead Volume Variance=Budgeted Fixed Overhead-Applied Fixed Overhead

Fixed Overhead Volume Variance= $7,560-$ 7614= $ 54 Favorable

If applied overhead is more than budgeted overhead it is favorable because it indicates that the budgeted overhead is within in the standard range.

The MoMi Corporation’s income before interest, depreciation and taxes, was $2.7 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 15% of pre tax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 30%. Depreciation was $330,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unlevered cash flow is 12% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $5 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the value of the firm and the firm’s equity. (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)

Answers

Answer:

1. The value of the firm is $23,760,000

2. The value of the equity is $18.76m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of the firm we would have to use the following formula:

Value of firm = FCF1 / (r - g) = FCF0 x (1 + g) / (r - g)

Operating Cash Flows (OCF) = (EBITDA - Depreciation) x (1 - tax) + Depreciation

= (2,700,000 - 330,000) x (1 - 30%) + 330,000

= $1,989,000

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OCF - Investment

We know that investment = 15% of EBITDA = 15% x 2,700,000 = 405,000

Current FCF = 1,989,000 - 405,000 = 1,584,000

Therefore, Value of the firm = 1,584,000 x (1 + 5%) / (12% - 5%) = $23,760,000

To calculate the value of equity we would have to use the following formula:

Value of equity = Value of Firm - Value of Debt = 23.76 - 5 = $18.76m

Answer:

Value of the firm                          $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity            $ 11550000.

Explanation:

Cash flow from operations = $ 1785000 (1700000 + 5 % of 1700000).

Depreciation = $ 241500. (230000 + 5 % of 230000).

Taxable income = $ 1543500 (1785000 - 241500)

Net income (after tax) = 1543500 - 30 % of 1543500 = $ 1080450.

Cash flow from operations (after tax) = 1080450 + 241500 (Depreciation, being non cash expense). = $ 1321950.

Free cash flow available = Cash flow from operations (after tax) - Income from investment.

= 1321950 - (1700000 * 17 % * 1.05)

= 1321950 - 303450.

= $ 1018500.

Value of the firm = Free cash flow available / (Capitalization rate - Growth rate)

= 1018500 / (0.12 - 0.05)

= 1018500 / 0.07

= $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity = Total value of firm - Value of debt of firm

= 14550000 - 3000000

= $ 11550000.

Conclusion :-

Value of the firm                          $ 14550000.

Value of the firm's equity            $ 11550000.

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of .94. The market risk premium is 7.5 percent and the risk-free rate is 3.3 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 2.5 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project

Answers

Answer:

Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%

Explanation:

The risk-adjusted discount factor = cost of equity + the adjustment

Cost of equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model CAPM

Using the CAPM , the rate of return on equity can be determined as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 3.3%, Rm- 7.5%, β- 0.94

Cost of equity = Rf + β (Rm -Rf)

Cost of equity = 3.3% + 0.94×(7.5-3.3)= 7.248

The risk-adjusted discount factor=  7.248 + 2.5= 9.748

Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%

In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-

Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock

= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)

= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000

= $2322,000

So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
