g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?

Answers

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.

Now

Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid      +     $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated

= $1,440,000

Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.

Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4     = $360,000

On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer: $2,420,000‬

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.

Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets

Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities

= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000

= $4,610,000‬

Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000

= $2,420,000‬

Answers

Complete Question:

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?

Answer:

7.96%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the formula:

WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100%         +          

After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100%            +        

Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%

Here,

Cost of equity is 17%

Cost of preferred stock is 11%

Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost *  (1 - Tax rate)

This implies,

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) =  5.4%

Equity weight is 10% weight in equity

Preferred stock weight is 25%

Debt Weight is 65%

By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:

WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%)      +     11% * (25% / 100%)    +    5.4% * (65% / 100%)

WACC = 1.7%   +   2.75%   +    3.51%

WACC = 7.96%

. A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs = 10.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 6.4%. What is the stock's current price

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $18.29

Explanation:

We have many formulas to arriving at the stock price but here we use Gordon growth model.

Formula for getting stock price is:

D1/r - g

Where:

D1 - is the next year dividend or expected dividend to be paid next.

r is the rate of return

g is the growth rate

$0.75/0.105 - 0.064

$0.75/0.041

$18.29.

Therefore, the stock's current price is $18.29

The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______

Answers

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B

Using this formula

Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot

Let plug in the formula

Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500

Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500

Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500

Expense allocated to department B= $1,000

Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000

Earnings before interest and taxes $45 million Interest expense $5 million Effective income tax rate 30% Preferred stock dividends $10 million Common shares outstanding 2 million Common stock payout ratio 25% What is Velocity's approximate expected common stock market price per share next year?

Answers

Answer:

$63

Explanation:

The computation of the expected common stock market price per share for the next year is shown below:

Price earning ratio = Share price ÷ earning per share

where

Price earning ratio is 7

Earning per share is

= (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ number of common shares outstanding

= {($45 million - $5 million) × (1 - 0.30) - $10 million)} ÷ 2 million shares

= $9

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the expected common stock market price is

= 7 × $9

= $63

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.

In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.

Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.

Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?

Answers

Answer:

Cost performance index is 81.25%

Explanation:

Actual cost = $80,000

Planned value = $70,000

Earned value = $65,000

Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.

CPI = EV / AC

= $65,000 / $80,000

= 0.8125

= 0.8125 x 100

= 81.25%

Oligopolies are characterised by :

price setting firms

product differentiation

profit maximisation

high barriers to entry or exit of firms

downward sloping demand curve

the action taken by the other airlines is known as tacit collusion.

Tacit collusion is when other companies adopt the price of the price leader

Tacit collusion is not illegal while the explicit collision is illegal.

Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.

What is the price of the bond?

Answers

Answer:

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp.  be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115

Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05  % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)   = (2 × 21) = 41 periods

PV of interest =  

115  × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41)   = 2,175.89

Step 3:Price of the bond

Total present Value = 1,946.47  +  2,175.89  = 4,122.36

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

Answers

Answer:

Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:

c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.

Explanation:

Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.

Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections.  The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise.  The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash.  While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.

Answers

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.

= $95,125 - $95,000

= $125

The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.

We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.

= $94,125 - $95,187.50

= -$1,062.50

Therefore, Net profits is;

= $125 - $1,062.50

= -$937.50

The computation of the net present value is presented in the attachment below:

For project A, the net present value is $91,771.53 and for project B, the net present value is $79,390.69

It is computed after considering the discounting factor that comes from

= 1 ÷ (1 + discount rate)^number of years

for year 1, it is

= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1

The same applied for the remaining years

Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.

5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Answers

Answer:

A. Trade margin
