Answer:
Earning per share = $1.40
Explanation:
Earning per share = Income available to ordinary shareholders / Number of shares available
$
Net Income 364.000
Preferred dividend (19,400× 0.54) (34920 )
329,080
Number of shares(see workings) 237,135
Earning per share = $329,080 /237,135 units = $1.39
Number of shares = (603,000/1000)*45 + 210,000 = 237,135 units
Earning per share = $1.40
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 as a result of an increase in the formation of new households. In the long run, formation of new households depends on population growth. Source: Laura Kusisto and Sarah Chaney, "U.S. Housing Starts Fell in April for Third Time in Four Months," Wall Street Journal, May 16, 2017. Are firms like homebuilders that sell products whose demand depends partly on demographic factors likely to be more or less affected by the business cycle than are other firms whose products are less dependent on these factors (holding constant other factors that affect the demand for new houses)? Briefly explain.
Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.
Byron Books Inc. recently reported $6 million of net income. Its EBIT was $12.6 million, and its tax rate was 40%. What was its interest expense? [Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $6 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.6 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.] Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.

One end item A requires three component parts: B, C, and D. The bill of material indicates that for each completed A, 3 units of B, 2 units of C, and 1 unit of D are required. Current inventory for the four items is as follows: There are 18 As, 43 Bs, 50 Cs and 35 Ds in stock. If the lead time for all items is one week and there are no scheduled receipts for any item, how many units of product A can be delivered to customers at the start of next week (week 2)
Answer:
Presently there will be 18 A’s, in accumulation there will be 43 B’s, this can create 43 ÷ 3 = 14.3 A’s.
Moreover the 50 C’s might create 50 ÷ 2 = 25 A’s.
Thus 35 D’s might create 35 A’s.
Now B is a restriction.
Consequently a determined of 14.3 A’s might be prepared with the existing stocks in hand.
Therefore the entire A’s that might be distributed at the beginning of following week is 18 + 14.3 = 32 .3

Project Q has an initial cost of $257,412 and projected cash flows of $123,300 in Year 1 and $180,300 in Year 2. Project R has an initial cost of $345,000 and projected cash flows of $184,500 in Year 1 and $230,600 in Year 2. The discount rate is 12.2 percent and the projects are independent. Which project(s), if either, should be accepted based on its profitability index value?
a) Reject both Project Q and R
b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q
c) Accept either Project R or Project Q, but not both
d) Accept Project Q and reject Project R
e) Accept both Project Q and R
Answer:
b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem in the question
We are given
Project Q: Initial Cost = $ 257,412
Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 123,300 Yr 2 : $ 180,300
Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return
= 123,300/1.122 + 180,300/(1.122*1.122)
= 109,893 + 143,222
= $ 253,115
Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment
= 253,115 / 257142 = 0.98
Since the Initial Investment is greater than the Present Value of Cash Inflows, that is, l Profitability Index < 0 the Project should not be selected.
Project R: Initial Cost = $ 345,000
Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 184,500 Yr 2 : $ 230,600
Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return
= 184,500/1.122 + 230,600/(1.122*1.122)
= 164,438.5 + 183,178
= $ 347,616.5
Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment
= 347,616.5 / 345,000 = 1.01
Since the Initial Investment is lower that the Present Value of the Cash Inflows, that is, Profitability Index > 0 the Project should be selected.
Accept Project R and Reject Project Q, so option B is the correct answer

The amortization of fair value allocations totaled $60,000 in 2019. Not including its investment in Harbor, Femur Co. had its own revenues of $4,500,000 and expenses of $3,000,000 for the year 2019. What is the noncontrolling interest's share of earnings for Harbor Corp
Answer:
$1,808,000
Explanation:
The noncontrolling interest's share of the earnings of Harbor Corp. for 2019 is calculated to be:
=($2,500,000 - $2,000,000- $60,000) * 0.3 = $132,000
Amount of consolidated net income for 2019 should be allocated to Femur’s controlling interest in Harbor
= $440,000 - $132,000 = $308,000
Amount Femur Co. would report as consolidated net income for 2019:
= $1,500,000 + $308,000 = $1,808,000

At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903
JB Instruments is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 1,600 units, ±3 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $220 and the expected fixed costs are $438,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $64,000. The sales price is estimated at $647 per unit, ±2 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario?
Answer:
$984,061.12
Explanation:
The computation of sales revenue under the worst-case scenario is shown below:-
Sales revenue under the worst-case scenario = Quantity sold × Price
= (1,600 - 1,600 × 3%) × ($647 - $647 × 2%)
= (1,600 - 48) × ($647 - 12.94)
= 1,552 × 634.06
= $984,061.12
Therefore for computing the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario we simply applied the above formula.

If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units
Answer:
A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units
Explanation:
The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;
At the above ceiling at price of 40$
Quantity supplied will be 16
Quantity demanded will be 24
So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.
When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.
So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.
Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics "get under the hood and fix the problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the 30-day warranty period is 0.09.Each month, Garcia tracks 100customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In March, 5of the 100customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in control?
Answer:
the given question historic average is given as 0.09 for 100 customers.
Therefore,
P = 0.09 and n = 100
The control liimits are to be set two standard deviation around the mean.
Standard deviation =
\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n)}
Therefore substitutin g the value in the above formula:
\sigma = \sqrt{0.09(1-0.09)/100)}
After soving we get result as:
\sigma = 0.0286
Upper Control Limit = 0.09 + 2 * \sigma = 0.09 + (2 * 0.0286) = 0.1472
Lower Control Liimit = = 0.09- 2 * \sigma = 0.09 - (2 * 0.286) = -0.0328
For March, 5 out of 100 customers returned for warranty repairs, therefore,
p for March = 5/100 = 0.05
The process doses not fall under control limits, so it is out of control for March.
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. Then, autonomous consumption rises.

On January 1, 2011, G Corp. granted stock options to key employees for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the company's common stock at $25 per share. The options are intended to compensate employees for the next two years. The options are exercisable within a four-year period beginning January 1, 2013, by the grantees still in the employ of the company. No options were terminated during 2011, but the company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options. The market price of the common stock was $31 per share at the date of the grant. G Corp. used the Binomial pricing model and estimated the fair value of each of the options at $10. What amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011
Answer:
The amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $320,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 we would have to calculate the following formula:
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=Total compensation/2
Note: company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options, therefore, 100%-20%=80%
Total compensation= 80,000 options × $10 × 80%
Total compensation= $640,000

Gambarini Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $197.80 per unit. Sales volume (units)............... 6,000 7,000 Cost of sales.......................... $ 486,600 $ 567,700 Selling and administrative costs $ 612,600 $ 624,400 The best estimate of the total monthly fixed cost is:
Answer:
$541,800
Explanation:
Total cost of 6,000 units = $486,600 + $612,600 = $1,099,200
Total cost of 7,000 units = $567,700 + $624,400 = $1,192,200
Change in total cost = $1,192,200 - $1,099,200 = $92,900
Change in unit = 7,000 - 6,000 = 1,000
Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost/Change in unit = $92,900 / 1000 = $92.90
Using information on either 7,000 units or 6,000 units to calculate the variable cost, we have:
Total monthly Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost = $1,099,200 - ($92.90 * 6,000) = $541,800
A refinery blends three petroleum components into three grades of gasoline -regular, premium, and diesel. The maximum quantities available of each component and the cost per barrel are as follows: Component Cost/Barrel Maximum Barrels Available/Day 6,000 3,000 4,500 10 To ensure that each gasoline grade retains certain essential characteristics, the refinery has put limits on the percentages of the components in each blend. The limits as well as the selling prices for the various grades are as follows:
Grade Selling Price/Barrel Comen R (regular) 18 Component Specifications Not less than 30% of A Not more than 30% of B Not less than 30% of C Not less than 60% of C Not more than 50% of B less than 10% of A P (premium) 25 D (diesel) 15 The refinery wants to produce at least 5,000 barrels of each grade of gasoline. Management wishes to determine the optimal mix of the three components that will maximize profit.
1. Define the decision variables.
2. Build the objective function.
3. Build all the constraints.
Answer:
Explanation:
1)
xij = barrels of component i used in grade j per day for i = A, B, C and j = R, P, D
2)
Max Z = 18 (x AR + x BR + x CR) + 25 (x AP + x BP + x CP) + 15 (x AD + x BD + x CD) – 9 (x AR + x AP + x AD) – 7 (x BR + x BP + x BD) – 10 (x CR + x CP + x CD)
or,
Max Z = 9 x AR + 11 x BR + 8 x CR + 16 x AP + 18 x BP + 15 x CP + 6 x AD + 8 x BD + 5 x CD
3)
Subject to,
x AR + x AP + x AD <= 6000
x BR + x BP + x BD <= 3000
x CR + x CP + x CD <= 4500
x Aj + x Bj + x Cj >= 5000 for j = R, P, D
x AR >= 30%*(x AR + x BR + x CR) or, 0.7 x AR - 0.3 x BR - 0.3 x CR >= 0
x BR <= 30%*(x AR + x BR + x CR) or, -0.3 x AR + 0.7 x BR - 0.3 x CR <= 0
x CR >= 30%*(x AR + x BR + x CR) or, -0.3 x AR - 0.3 x BR + 0.7 x CR >= 0
x CP >= 60%*(x AP + x BP + x CP) or, -0.6 x AP - 0.6 x BP + 0.4 x CP >= 0
x BD <= 50%*(x AD + x BD + x CD) or, -0.5 x AD + 0.5 x BD - 0.5 x CD <= 0
xAD >= 10%*(xAD + xBD + xCD) or, 0.9 xAD - 0.1 xBD - 0.1 xCD >= 0
xij >= 0 for i = A, B, C and j = R, P, D
Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Answer:
Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.
Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.
Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.
The 2016 financial statement of Willamette Valley Vineyards reported Cost of goods sold of $7,204,884. Note 3 to the financial statements reported that Inventories consisted of: 2016 2015 Winemaking and packaging materials $ 817,836 $ 690,292 Work-in-process 6,634,014 6,058,701 Finished goods 4,518,806 3,883,469 Total inventories $11,970,656 $10,632,462 The inventory turnover for 2016 was:__________
a, 0.57
b. 0.64
c. 0.59
d. 1.71
Answer:
b. 0.64
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory turnover for the year 2016 is shown below:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventories
where,
Average inventories is
= ($11,970,656 + $10,632,462) ÷ 2
= $11,301,559
And the cost of goods sold is $7,204,884
So, the Inventory turnover is
= $7,204,884 ÷ $11,301,559
= 0.64 times
We simply applied the above formula
Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000
