Waggoner Company has a cash balance of $44,000 on April 1. The company is required to maintain a cash balance of $25,000. During April expected cash receipts are $174,000. Expected cash disbursements during the month total $200,800. During April the company will need to borrow:____.
a. $2,500.b. $3,500.c. $4,000.d. $6,000.
Answer: $7,800
Explanation:
The amount that the company needs to borrow can be found using the formula:
= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash to be maintained - Cash disbursement
= 44,000 + 174,000 - 25,000 - 200,800
= -$7,800
Amount to be borrowed is the shortfall of $7,800
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000
Exercise 9-15A (Static) Using the current ratio to make comparisons LO 9-7 The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills
Answer:
a. 1.5 and 1.8
b. Montana
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the current ratio:
a. Formula used, Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current ratio of Kansas = 59000 / 40000 = 1.5
Current ratio of Montana = 78000 / 43000 = 1.8
b. The company that has a higher current ratio will have a greater likelihood to pay bills so Montana is the correct answer.
Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.
urrent Attempt in Progress Wildhorse Chemicals management identified the following cash flows as significant in its year-end meeting with analysts: During the year Wildhorse had repaid existing debt of $317,900 and raised additional debt capital of $645,200. It also repurchased stock in the open market for a total of $44,750. What is the net cash provided by financing activities

You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.
Option b.
If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Liabilities decrease $4,500 and assets increase $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since the company buys an equipment which is an asset to the company, then there will be an increase in the assets by $4500.
Also, in thus case, the equipment was gotten on credit which is a liability. Therefore, the liabilities will increase by $4500 as well.
East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000

10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.
Answer:
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
Explanation:
The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.
Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.
Economists look at any situation in terms of its component parts: the people making decisions, the environment in which they're making those decisions, and the goods or services being exchanged.

Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,000 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Missing word "Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."
Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000
Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000
Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000
Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $46,000
1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year
Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $3,000
2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000
Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000
Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000

Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41
Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

Crosley Company, a machinery dealer, leased a machine to Dexter Corporation on January 1, 2020. The lease is for an 8-year period and requires equal annual payments of $35,004 at the beginning of each year. The first payment is received on January 1, 2020. Crosley had purchased the machine during 2019 for $160,000. Collectibility of lease payments by Crosley is probable. Crosley set the annual rental to ensure a 6% rate of return. The machine has an economic life of 10 years with no residual value and reverts to Crosley at the termination of the lease.
Instructions:
a. Compute the amount of the lease receivable.
b. Prepare all necessary journal entries for Crosley for 2020.
c. Suppose the collectibility of the lease payments was not probable for Crosley. Prepare all necessary journal entries for the company in 2020.
d. Suppose at the end of the lease term, Crosley receives the asset and determines that it actually has a fair value of $1,000 instead of the anticipated residual value of $0. Record the entry to recognize the receipt of the asset for Crosley at the end of the lease term.

Economic growth and public policy
Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign investment in Argentina. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries?
a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
b. Give families cash payments on the condition that their children show up for school and medical exams.
c. Increase taxes on income from savings.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:
a. Foreign Portfolio Investment
b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:
This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.
To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.
