Under a contract with Bucolic Farms, Agro Excavation, Inc., begins digging an agricultural pond. In mid-project, Agro asks for $15,000 over the contract price, claiming an increase in the "cost of doing business." Bucolic agrees but later refuses to pay. Their agreement is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

unenforceable because Agro's performance was preexisting duty.

Explanation:

In the situation being described, it can be said that their agreement is unenforceable because Agro's performance was preexisting duty. This refers to the party's offer of a performance that was already required of them under the existing contract making a modification null. In this scenario, this is exactly what is happening, Agro Excavations has already signed a contract to dig the pond and has no enforceable reason to add $15,000 to the contract price mid-project and must finish digging the pond for the agreed-upon price of the first contract.

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?

Answers

Answer: 19,900 hours

Explanation:

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

Applied Manufacturing Overhead

When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.

To find the Applied overhead therefore;

= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount

= 110,410 - 12,900

= $97,510

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

= 97,510/4.9

= 19,900 hours

A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any

Answers

Answer:

The Correct Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.

This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.

Answers

Answer:

Cash                                           $3168967 Dr

Discount on Bonds Payable    $231033

            Bonds Payable                        $3400000 Cr

Explanation:

The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.

The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.

Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033

MicroTech Corporation maintains a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. To finance its capital budget for next year, the firm will sell 11% coupon bonds at par value (assume no flotation costs). The firm will finance the rest of its capital expenditures with retained earnings. MicroTech expects next year's dividend to be $1.30 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. The current market value of MicroTech's common stock is $30 per share. If the firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%, what is its weighted cost of capital for next year?

Answers

Answer:

weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.

Explanation:

Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate

    = $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07

    = 0.11333 or 11.33 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

     = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

     = 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)

     = 8.69 %

Weighted cost of capital =  11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%

                                         = 10.27 %

Your first baby was born yesterday and is healthy and strong. To guard against your premature death, you want to purchase a life insurance policy that will replace $58,000 of your annual income until your child is 20 years old. How much life insurance should you purchase, if you assume a 3% inflation rate

Answers

Answer:

assuming the  interest rate is = 15% the  life insurance should you should purchase = $497854.0773

Explanation:

Given that :

Annual income receipt = $58000

Assumption:

If we assume that the inflation rate π = 3% = 0.03

Also , let assume that the interest rate is = 15%  = 0.15 since it is not given too

Then the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (i-\pi)}{(1+\pi)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.15-0.03)}{(1+0.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.12)}{(1.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = 0.1165

the effective interest rate = 11.65%

Since n = [tex]\infty[/tex]

The Principal amount of how much life insurance should you purchase is;

= Annual income receipt/the effective interest rate

= $58000/ 0.1165

= $497854.0773

b. Estimate Kroger's weighted-average cost of capital. Prepare a spreadsheet or table showing the relevant variables.

Answers

Answer:

a. 11.16 %

b. 7.56 %

Explanation:

Cost of equity capital is the return that is required by Common Stockholders.

This can be determined as follows :

1. Growth Model

Cost of equity = Recent dividend / Market Price of Share + Expected Growth Rate

or

2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

Cost of equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio Security

                       = 4.54% + 1.05 × 6.30%

                       = 11.16 %

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) +Kp × (P/V)

Explanation and value of Variables

Ke = Cost of Equity

     = 11.16 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = $ 4,965 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)

      = 42.66 %

Kd = Cost of Debt :

    = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

    = 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.35)

    = 4.875 or 4.88 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

      = $ 6,674 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)

      = 57.34 %

Therefore,

WACC = 11.16 % × 42.66 % + 4.88 % × 57.34 %

           = 7.56 %

In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.

Answers

Answer:

b) $1,160

Explanation:

From the above information,

I=Investment = 50

G=Government expenditure = 150

X=Net export = 20

a=autonomous consumption = 100

b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Y=Equilibrium GDP

C = consumption ;

C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)

Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)

PAE = C + l +G +X

Substituting for C in the above equation,

PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20

= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20

= 290 + 0.75Y

Since short run exists when Y = PAE

Therefore,

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Collect like terms

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y =290

Y = 290/0.25

Y = 1,160

b. 22,500.
c. 25,000 .
d. 27,000.

Answers

Answer: b. 22,500

Explanation:

J should use the total number of outstanding common stock at end of year to calculate 2018 basic earnings.

As a result of the Stock-split, the shares are split into 2 for 1.

There were 10,000 shares split so;

= 10,000 * 2

= 20,000

On the 1st of July, 5,000 shares were issued. This means that up till December 2021, the stock was outstanding for 6 months.

This will reflected by;

= 5,000 * 6/12

= 2,500 shares

Total shares = 20,000 + 2,500

= 22,500 shares

3. 72.45 %

4. 27.55 %

5. 8.63 %

Explanation:

Cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks

Cost of equity = Recent year`s dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate

                       = $4.04 / $85.50 + 0.043

                       = 0.0903 or 9.03 %

1st bond issue

PV = $69,861,000

Pmt = ($73,000,000 × 5.30%) ÷ 2 = - $1,934,500

p/y = 2

n  = 23 × 2 = 46

Fv = 0

i = ?

Cost of the 1st Bond Issue, i is : 2.1571 %

After tax cost = 2.1571 % × 77 %

                      = 1.66%

2nd Bond Issue

PV = $47,205,000

Pmt = ($45,000,000 × 5.90%) ÷ 2 = - $1,327,500

p/y = 2

n  = 11 × 2 = 22

Fv = 0

i = ?

Cost of the 2nd Bond Issue, i is : 7,6681 %

After tax cost = 7,6681 % × 77 %

                      = 5.90%

Total Cost of Debt = 1.66% + 5.90%

                               = 7.56 %

Market Values :

Market Value of Equity = 3,600,000 shares × $85.50

                                      = $307,800,000

Market Value of Bonds

1st Issues  =  $69,861,000

2nd Issue  = $47,205,000

Total          = $117,066,000

Weight of equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value

                            = $307,800,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)

                            = 72.45 %

Weight of debt    = Market Value of Bonds ÷ Total Market Value

                            = $117,066,000 ÷ ($307,800,000 + $117,066,000)

                            = 27.55 %

Sue Helms Appliances wants to establish an assembly line to manufacture its new​ product, the Micro Popcorn Popper. The goal is to produce five poppers per hour. The​ tasks, task​ times, and immediate predecessors for producing one Micro Popcorn Popper are as​ follows:

Task Performance time(minutes) Predecessor
A 8 -
B 10 A
C 8 A,B
D 10 B,C
E 8 C
F 4 D,E

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________

Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?

c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour

= 60 / 5

= 12minutes

Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time

Sum of task time

= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4

= 48

The theoretical minimum number of work stations is

= 48 / 12

= 4

b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.

°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.

°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.

Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.

°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.

°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.

Task Time Workstation

A. 8 1

B. 10 2

C. 8 3

D. 10 4

E. 8 -

F. 4 -

Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.

C. Efficiency of the assembly line

Efficiency ;

= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time

Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.

= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100

= 80%

The theoretical minimum should be = 4

The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent

The production time = 60

The units that are required per hour = 5

[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

= 12

The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4

= 48

[tex]The minimum number = \frac{48}{12} \\\\= 4[/tex]

The efficiency of the assembly line

[tex]\frac{48}{5*60} \\\\= 0.8\\\\0.8*100 = \\\\80percent[/tex]

The Bathtub Division of Kirk Plumbing Corporation has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with gold-plated fixtures for the company's 50-year anniversary. It would make only 5,000 of these units. It would like the Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $160. If sold externally, the estimated variable cost per unit would be $140. However, by selling internally, the Faucet Division would save $6 per unit on variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for $43 per unit and has variable costs of $25.

Required:
Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should be willing to accept, and discuss whether it should accept this offer.

Answers

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $152

Explanation:

The minimum transfer price can be calculated by Adding variable cost and the contribution margin lost

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Contribution margin lost

Minimum transfer price = $134 + $18

Minimum transfer price = $152

Working

Variable cost  = $140 -$6(saving) = $134

Contribution margin lost = Selling price - variable cost per unit

Contribution margin lost = $43 - $25

Contribution margin lost = $18

Decision: The offer should be accepted because the minimum transfer price of $152 is less than $160

Answers

Answer:

after tax cash flow = $29,512.32

Explanation:

the numbers are missing in this question:

purchase cost = $82,000

tax rate = 40%

selling price at end of year 4 = $32,000

MACRS 7 year depreciation schedule:

year             %            depreciation expense         carrying value

1                  14.29%           $11,717.80                          $70,282.20

2                 24.29%          $19,917.80                        $50,364.40

3                 17.49%           $14,341.80                         $36,022.60

4                 12.49%           $10,241.80                        $25,780.80

after tax cash flow = $32,000 - [($32,000 - $25,780.80) x 40%] = $32,000 - $2,487.68 = $29,512.32

When recording journal entries for production costs using a standard cost accounting system, the debit to Work in Process Inventory account is for the ______ amount.

Answers

Answer: Actual amount

Explanation:

Standard Costing deviates from traditional accounting in that it is not based on historical costs of a good. In standard cost accounting, the actual costs are put in place of standard costs and then the variance between the two will be recorded and used for analysis.

The debit to the Work in Process Inventory account under a standard cost accounting system will be the actual amount.

Choose the statement that is incorrect.
A. In the long​ run, a rise in the foreign price level brings dollar appreciation and a rise in the U.S. price level brings dollar depreciation.
B. In the long​ run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.
C. In the long​ run, the nominal exchange rate is a monetary phenomenon.
D. In the long​ run, the nominal exchange rate is determined by the quantities of money in two countries.

Answers

Answer:

B. In the long​ run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.

Explanation:

As we know that in the short run there is a decline in the nominal exchange that results in a decrease of real exchange rate due to which there is a reduction of the import and the export is risen.

But in the case of the long run, if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so the real exchange rate would remain the same

This results that if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so it would not bring the equal change in the real exchange rate

Hence, option B is incorrect

An exchange-rate policy in which the government usually allows the exchange rate to be set by the market, but sometimes intervenes is called a __________________ exchange rate system.

Answers

Answer: Managed Float

Explanation:

Also called "Dirty Float", the Managed float is an exchange rate system that allows for the currency of a country to be set by the forces of demand and supply in the market.

However, unlike in a clean float,  the Central bank will occasionally intervene in the market to influence the how fast the currency is changing value or to control the direction it is going.

This is usually done to protect the domestic economy from sudden shocks in the global economy.

Answers

Answer:

Busch Company

Indication of whether the obligation be classified as a current liability, long-term liability, or both:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years. Long-term Liability

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments.   Both.

Every year, $20,000 would be classified as Current Liability while the remaining balance is long-term liabilities.

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage. Both

If the interest payable is to be settled at the end of the mortgage, then it is classified as only long-term.

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000. Current Liability

Explanation:

Busch's current liabilities are financial obligations that are due for settlement within the next accounting period of 12 months or less.

The long-term liabilities of Busch Company are those financial obligations that are not due for settlement within the next accounting period.

For some long-term liabilities, Busch may settle some part within 12 months.  That part that can be settled within the accounting period are classified as current while the other parts are non-current.

You purchased a share of stock for $120. One year later you received $1.82 as a dividend and sold the share for $136. What was your holding-period return

Answers

Answer:

Holding period return =14.85 %

Explanation:

The return on stock is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Holding period return = (Dividend + capital gain)/Begin Price of stock × 100  

Dividend = $1.82

Capital gains= 136 - 120 = 16

Total dollar return on Investment = 1.82 + 16= $ 17.82

                                      = 17.82/120 × 100 = 14.85 %

Holding period return =14.85 %
