In the text, we supposed a college education raised a person's wage by $30,000 per year, from $40,000 to $70,000. Assume the relevant interest rate is 3%, there is no growth in wages, and you are expected to retire at 65 years old after you graduate high-school. (a): Suppose you are a 18 year old graduating high school senior deciding whether or not to go to college. What is the present discounted value of your labor earnings if you chose not to attend college
Answer:
$1,010,668
Explanation:
if you choose not to attend college, you should be working for 65 - 18 = 47 years
your expected annual salary is $40,000
the present value of your future earnings = $40,000 x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor = = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.03)⁴⁸] / 0.03 = 25.2667
present value of future earnings = $40,000 x 25.2667 = $1,010,668

Elliot, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
At the activity level of 20,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=20,000* $10.50=$210,000
At the activity level of 24,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=24,000*$9.75=$234,000
variable maintenance cost per hour=(total maintenance costs at higher activity level-total maintenance costs at lower activity level)/(higher activity level-lower activity level)
variable maintenance cost per hour=($234,000-$210,000)/(24000-20000)
variable maintenance cost per unit=$6
Using the higher activity level data:
total cost=fixed cost+(variable maintenance cost per unit*number of hours)
$234,000=fixed cost+($6*24000)
234,000=fixed cost+$144,000
fixed cost=$234,000-$144,000
fixed cost=$90,000

Bonus share: 10% × $10000 = ($10,000)
New capital balance: $90,000
The answer is $216,000 , $144,000 , $90,000
Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.
9. Galloway, Inc. has an odd dividend policy. The company has just paid a dividend of $7 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $2 per share for each of the next 5 years, and then never pay another dividend. How much are you willing to pay per share today to buy this stock if you require a 15 percent return
Answer:
P0 = $41.7196815 rounded off to $41.72
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the discounted cashflow model. The formula for price under this model will be the present value of the expected future cash flows. The formula is as follows,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n
Where,
D1, D2,...,Dn are the dividends in year 1, years 2 and so on to year nr is the required rate of returnP0 = (7+2) / (1+0.15) + (7+2+2) / (1+0.15)^2 + (7+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^3 +
(7+2+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^4 + (7+2+2+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^5
P0 = $41.7196815 rounded off to $41.72

Explanation:
Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana
Answer:
$54,000
Explanation:
First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:
3+2= 5
Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:
$90,000/5 = $18,000
To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:
5*18,000 = $54,000.
Sunland Company, has 14700 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 60200 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $113000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
2021 Common Stockholders dividends = $49,600
Explanation:
Preference Shareholders are always paid their dividends first before Common Stockholders. If dividend is not declared, Preference dividends are cumulated to the next period and are due !
2019
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = 14700 x $100 x 4% = $58,800
Common Stockholders dividends = $ 0
2020
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $58,800 (2019) + $54,200 (2020)
Common Stockholders dividends = $0
2021
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $4,600 (2020 arrears) + $58,800 (2021) = $63,400
Common Stockholders dividends = $113,000 - $63,400 = $49,600
During its first five years of operations, a company reports net income and pays dividends as follows. Required: Calculate the balance of retained earnings at the end of each year. Note that retained earnings will always equal $0 at the beginning of year 1.
Answers:
Years:
$700$1,900$3,000$5,200$8,600Explanation:
Retained earnings for the year is:
= Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Year 1
= 0 + 1,200 - 500
= $700
Year 2
= 700 + 1,700 - 500
= $1,900
Year 3
= 1,900 + 2,100 - 1,000
= $3,000
Year 4
= 3,000 + 3,200 - 1,000
= $5,200
Year 5
= 5,200 + 4,400 - 1,000
= $8,600

EVO, Inc. is evaluating a project that will have a life of four years. The operating cash flow each year is expected to be $51,500. There is a need to invest in net working capital at the start of the project in the amount of $4,250. EVO, Inc. will recover this investment in net working capital at the end of the project. EVO also needed to spend $22,400 on equipment in order to get the project started. The book value for this equipment when the project is finished, is estimated to be $4,660. This equipment will be sold at the end of the project for an estimated sales price of $5,670. EVO has a tax rate relevant to this analysis of 34 percent. Calculate the amount of cash flow in year 4 of this project
Answer:
$61,763.40
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash flow in year 4 is shown below:
Terminal Cash flow in year 4 is
= operating cash flow + net working capital invested + sale price of equipment - tax on profit from sale
= operating cash flow + net working capital invested + sale price of equipment - tax rate × (Sale price - book value)
= $51,500 + $4,250 + $5,670 - 34% × ($5,670 - $4,660)
= $61,763.40

Find the present values of the following cash flow streams. The appropriate interest rate is 10%. (Hint: It is fairly easy to work this problem dealing with the individual cash flows. However, if you have a financial calculator, read the section of the manual that describes how to enter cash flows such as the ones in this problem. This will take a little time, but the investment will pay huge dividends throughout the course.
Year    Cash Stream A Cash Stream B

Required:
What is the value of each cash flow stream at a 0 percent interest rate?
Answer:
a. The present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate is $1,181.50; while the present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate is $1,239.13.
b. Present value of Cash flow streams A and B at 0% interest rate are both equal to $1,600.
Explanation:
a. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 10% interest rate
The present value (PV) for a particular year can be calculated using the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
Where:
PV = present value of a particular year
FV = Future value or cash stream of a particular year
r = interest rate = 10%
n = The particular year in focus
The present value of cash flow streams at a particular interest rate is the sum of the present values of Cash Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate = (100 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (300 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,181.50
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate = (300 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (100 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,239.13
b. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 0% interest rate
The present value of cash flow streams at a 0% is simply the sum of Cash Flow Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 0% interest rate = $100 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $300 = $1,600
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 0% interest rate = $300 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $100 = $1,600

Suppose two projects have the same expected business value. Project A has a very high estimated business value along with a high probability of failure. Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure. If you could do only one of the projects, which one would you choose and under what conditions
Answer:
Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
Explanation:
In order to do only one type of project that has the same business values. I would choose a project that has a low probability of failure. Though it has a low value but in the long run will lead to economic profit and shareholders value. For selection, we need to find out the benefits gained by the project.If a person could choose only one project he must select Project B as it has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
What are the selection criteria for the project?Project B would be a better option to choose as it is giving less risk to business as compared to Project B in terms of failure. However, the value of Project B is less but it has the potential to generate economic profits in the long run.
Therefore, by evaluating the cost and benefit from two projects shareholder's interest would be intact more through Project B.

(Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
$129,000
Explanation:
Calculation for pension expense
Service Cost $140,000
Add: Interest Cost $39,000
($650,000 × 6%)
Add: Amortization of prior service cost $5,000
Add: Amortization of net loss $1,000
Less Expected return on plan assets $56,000 ($700,000 × 8%)

Suppose you consider buying a bond promising to pay you $25 one year from now and then the same amount every year through the fifth year (that is, you should receive a total of five coupon payments). At the time you receive your fifth payment, you will also receive the bond's face value of $5,000. Suppose the interest rate for a riskless bond is 7%. The most you would be willing to pay for this bond is $ . Give your answer to two decimals.
Answer:
$3,667.44
Explanation:
The amount you would be willing to pay today can be determined by finding the present value of the cash flows
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $25
Cash flow in year 5 = $25 + $5000
I = 7%
Present value = $3,667.44
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
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.
3. Press compute

As CEO of ​, knows it is important to control costs and to respond quickly to changes in the highly competitive​ boat-building industry. When Consulting proposes that invest in an ERP​ system, she forms a team to evaluate the​ proposal: the plant​ engineer, the plant​ foreman, the systems​ specialist, the human resources​ director, the marketing​ director, and the management accountant. A month​ later, management accountant reports that the team and estimate that if implements the ERP​ system, it will incur the following​ costs:
a. $435,000 in software costs
b. $95,000 to customize the ERP software and load Aqua Marine's data into the new ERP system
c. $105,000 for employee training
The team estimates that the ERP system should provide several benefits:
a. More efficient order processing should lead to savings of $105,000.
b. Streamlining the manufacturing process so that it maps into the ERP system will create savings of $125,000.
c. Integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system will allow Aqua Marine to reduce inventories, saving $225,000.
d. Higher customer satisfaction should increase sales, which, in turn, should increase profits by $155,000.

Explanation:
a.)
If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :
From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000
From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000
From reduce inventories savings = $225,000
From increased sales profit = $155,000
⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000
= $610,000
⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000
b.)
Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:
Software cost = $435,000
Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000
Employee training cost = $105,000
⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000
= $635,000
⇒Total cost = $635,000
Now,
As we have
Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000
Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000
⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000 = -$ (25,000)
∴ we get
If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.
So, They should not install the ERP system.
