Answer: Trade surplus of $69
Explanation:
A trade deficit is when the imports into a country are greater than exports leaving the country and a trade surplus is the reverse.
Exports for this country are $1,056
Imports to this country are $987
Exports are greater than imports so there is no trade deficit. Instead there is a Trade surplus of:
= Exports - Imports
= 1,056 - 987
= $69

Cash
Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment
Equipment
Gain on Sale of Equipment
Answer:
a. Cost of Equipment = $401300
Residual value = $25100
Useful life = 18 years
Depreciation expense = (Purchase cost - Residual value) / Useful life
Depreciation expense = ($401,300 - $25,100) / 18 years
Depreciation expense = $20,900
b. Book value of equipment on January 1 of year 4 = Purchase cost -(Depreciation expense * 3 years)
= $401300 - ($20900*3 years)
= $401300 - $62700
= $338,600
c. Accumulated Depreciation = Depreciation expense * 3 years
Accumulated Depreciation = $20,900*3
Accumulated Depreciation = $62,700
Gain/ loss on sale = Cash received for sale of asset - Book value of asset at jan 1 of year 4
Loss on sale = $315000 - $338600
Loss on sale = $23600

Scampini Technologies is expected to generate $175 million in free cash flow next year, and FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% per year indefinitely. Scampini has no debt or preferred stock, and its WACC is 10%. If Scampini has 55 million shares of stock outstanding, what is the stock's value per share
Answer:
the stock value per share is $53
Explanation:
The computation of the stock value per share is shown below:
Value of operations = Free cash flows ÷ ( Capitalization Rate - growth rate )
= $175 Million ÷ ( (10% - 4%)
= $2,917
Now stock value per share is
= $2,917 ÷ 55 million shares
= $53 per share
Hence, the stock value per share is $53
You are planning to make monthly deposits of $90 into a retirement account that pays 10 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 19 years?
Answer:
$71,644.27
Explanation:
Future value of the deposit in 19 years = Monthly deposit * [(1 + interest rate/12)^12*No. of years - 1] / (interest rate/12
= $90 * [(1 + 10%/12)^12*19 - 1] / (10%/12)
= $90 * [6.63346333924 - 1] / 0.008333
= $90 * 6.63346333924/0.008333
= $90 * 796.0474
= $71644.269835
= $71,644.27

The number of times interest charges are earned is computed as
a. net income plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
b. income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
c. net income divided by interest charges.
d. income before income tax divided by interest charges.
Answer:
B)income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
Explanation:
Interest charges can be regarded as
sum of interest that is on one's credit card account, It can be be defined base on transaction type, such as
cash advances , purchases, or balance transfers. If one is making less than full balance payment or making payment after due date, then one would be charged. Another point is that there is is no grace period for cash advances and balance transfers, i.e as the transaction is been made, there would be accrual of interest. Interest rate is a term for amount that is been charged by lender for usage of assets, and it's been expressed in term of percentage of the principal. It should be noted The number of times interest charges are earned is computed as income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Zambia was $1,412 in 1960, and it actually declined to $1,309 by 2010. Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was -0.15%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.
Economy Real Income per Person in 1960 (Dollars) Real Income per Person in 2010 (Dollars) Annual Growth Rate (Percent)
Austria 9,773 35,031 2.59
Venezuela 7,307 9,762 0.58
Botswana 468 9,515 6.21
Malaysia 4,624 11,863 4.06
Honduras 1,932 3,146 0.98
Zambia 1,412 1,309 -0.15
Indicate which economy satisfies each of the following statements.
a. This economy experiences the fastest rate of growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010.
b. This economy had the highest level of real income per person in the year 2010.
Answer:
a. Botswana b. AustriaExplanation:
Botswana had the fastest growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010 with an annual growth rate of 6.21%. This is most likely down to the discovery of diamonds in the country towards the end of the 20th century.
In 2010, Austria had the highest real income per person with an income of $35,031. This is most likely due to the fact that Austria has a heavy presence in the service industry and a low population of less than 10 million people.
Consider the case of Cranked Coffee Company:
Cranked Coffee Company is a mature firm that has a stable flow of business. The following data was taken from its financial statements last year:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Cranked Coffee’s CFO is interested in determining the length of time funds are tied up in working capital. Use the information in the preceding table to complete the following table. (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year in all calculations, and round all values to two decimal places.)
Value
Inventory conversion period 46.93; 41.71; 176.71; or 39.11
Average collection period 27.25; 78.73; 24.38; or 22.94
Payables deferral period 32.50; 41.07; 33.24; or 132.13
Cash conversion cycle 39.62; 122.77; 37.54; 45.88
B: Both the inventory conversion period and payables deferral period use the average daily COGS in their denominators, whereas the average collection period uses average daily sales in its denominator. Why do these measures use different inputs?
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
Current assets should be divided by sales, but current liabilities should be divided by the COGS.
C. Is there generally a positive or negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle?(In other words, if a firm has a high level of net working capital, is it likely to have a high or low cash conversion cycle?)
There is a positive relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. What are the four key factors in a firm’s credit policy?
Credit terms, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
allow a 15% discount if payment is received within 2 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The management at Cranked Coffee Company wants to continue its internal discussions related to its cash management. One of the finance team members presents the following case to his cohorts:
Case in Discussion
Cranked Coffee Company’s management plans to finance its operations with bank loans that will be repaid as soon as cash is available. The company’s management expects that it will take 40 days to manufacture and sell its products and 35 days to receive payment from its customers. Cranked Coffee’s CFO has told the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 75 days.
Which of the following responses to the CFO’s statement is most accurate?
The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a minor effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Answer:
Cranked Coffee Company
A. Cash conversion cycle = 122.77 days.
B. The measures use different inputs because:
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
C. There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The most accurate response to the CFO's statement is:
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
G. Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Inventory conversion period = Inventory ÷ (Cost of sales ÷ 365)
= $3,200,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 176.17 days
Average collection period = Accounts receivable/Sales * 365
= $2,200,000/$10,200,000 * 365
= 78.73 days
Payables deferral period = Accounts payable/Cost of goods sold * 365
= $2,400,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 132.13 days
Cash conversion cycle = Inventory conversion period + Average collection - Payables deferral period
= 176.17 + 78.73 - 132.13
= 122.77

Net income will be:
= (Revenue + Revenue recognized but not yet billed + Revenue collected in advance that is now recognized) - Expenses - Depreciation - Accrued interest expense - Portion of prepaid insurance for the month
= (7,000 + 2,700 + 2,500) - 4,400 - 1,800 - 700 - 400
= $4,900
Western Electric has 34,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $83 and a rate of return of 12.80 percent. The firm has 7,500 shares of 8.20 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $97.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $416,000 and currently sells for 113 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.20 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent
Answer:
11.03 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.
where,
Cost of equity = 12.80 %
Cost of Preferred Stock = 8.20 %
Cost of Debt = 8.20 x (1 - 0.40) = 4.92 %
also,
Total Market Value = 34,000 x $83 + 7,500 x $97.00 + $416,000 x 113%
= $2,822,000 + $727,500 + $470,080
= $4,019,580
Weight of Equity = $2,822,000 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.70
Weight of Preferred Stock = $727,500 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.18
Weight of Debt = $470,080 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.12
therefore,
Cost of Capital = 12.80 % x 0.70 + 8.20 % x 0.18 + 4.92 % x 0.12
= 11.03 %
Categorize the scenarios as either a discretionary act or the result of automatic stabilizers.
a. Economic growth increases personal and corporate income, increasing tax payments.
b. A recession increases the number of recipients of unemployment benefits.
c. Legislators increase tbc generosity of unemployment benefits.
d. A law is enacted that increases government spending on health-care programs
1. Discretionary spending
2. Automatic stabilizers
Answer:
a. automatic stabilizers.
b. automatic stabilizers.
Discretionary spending
Discretionary spending
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income
In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes

Suppose a commercial banking system has $40,000 of outstanding checkable deposits and actual reserves of $4,500. If the reserve ratio is 10 percent, the banking system can expand the supply of money by the maximum amount of
Answer: $50000
Explanation:
Based on the information that's been given in the question, firstly we need to calculate the excess reserves which will be:
= $4500 - (10% × $40000)
= $4500 - $4000
= $500
Then, the money supply that's expanded will be:
= Excess reserve / Reserve ratio
= $5000 / 10%
= $5000 / 0.1
= $50000
Therefore, the answer is $50,000.

Alexandria's Dance Studio is currently an all-equity firm with earnings before interest and taxes of $338,000 and a cost of equity of 14.2%. The tax rate is 34%. Alexandria is considering adding $400,000 of debt with a coupon rate of 7% to her capital structure. The debt will be sold at par value. What is the levered value of the equity?
Answer:
$1,306,986
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the levered value of the equity
First step is to calculate the VL
VL = {[$338,000 × (1 - .34)] / .142} + (.34 × $400,000)
VL= $1,706,986
Now let calculate the levered value of the equity (VE)
VE = $1,706,986 - $400,000
VE = $1,306,986
Therefore the levered value of the equity is $1,306,986

London New York Zurich Hong Kong Bid/Ask Quotes for CHF $0.7464-71 $0.7469-76 $0.7471-74 $0.7460-70 In order to take advantage of locational arbitrage, a currency speculator should buy CHF from the______ dealer and sell CHF to the ______ dealer. Group of answer choices Hong Kong; Zurich London; New York Zurich; Hong Kong New York; Hong Kong
Answer:
The correct option is Hong Kong; Zurich.
Explanation:
Giveen:
Currency dealer in London New York Zurich Hong Kong
Bid/Ask Quotes for CHF $0.7464-71 $0.7469-76 $0.7471-74 $0.7460-70
Locational arbitrage can be described as the act of a currency speculator attempting to profit from tiny exchange rate discrepancies across several banks in different locations for a specific currency pair.
Since it is possible for the currency speculator to buy at Ask price from a bank in one location and sell it to another bank at bid price in another location, he will try to identify where he can buy at the lowest price to go and sell in another location with the highest price.
From the table above, Hong Kong has the lowest Bid/Ask Quotes for CHF of $0.7460-70 while Zurich has the highest Zurich of $0.7471-74. Therefore a currency speculator should buy CHF from the Hong Kong dealer and sell CHF to the Zurich dealer.
Therefore, the correct option is Hong Kong; Zurich.

Gray and Stone will serve as the senior partners because of their years of experience. To establish the business, Gray, Stone, and Lawson contribute cash and other properties valued at $410,000, $340,000, and $170,000, respectively. An articles of partnership agreement is drawn up. It has the following stipulations:
Personal drawings are allowed annually up to an amount equal to 10 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year.
Profits and losses are allocated according to the following plan:
1. A salary allowance is credited to each partner in an amount equal to $8 per billable hour worked by that individual during the year.
2. Interest is credited to the partners’ capital accounts at the rate of 12 percent of the average monthly balance for the year (computed without regard for current income or drawings).
3. An annual bonus is to be credited to Gray and Stone. Each bonus is to be 10 percent of net income after subtracting the bonus, the salary allowance, and the interest. Also included in the agreement is the provision that there will be no bonus if there is a net loss or if salary and interest result in a negative remainder of net income to be distributed.
4. Any remaining partnership profit or loss is to be divided evenly among all partners.
Because of financial shortfalls encountered in getting the business started, Gray invests an additional $9,200 on May 1, 2016. On January 1, 2017, the partners allow Monet to buy into the partnership. Monet contributes cash directly to the business in an amount equal to a 20 percent interest in the book value of the partnership property subsequent to this contribution. The partnership agreement as to splitting profits and losses is not altered upon Monet’s entrance into the firm; the general provisions continue to be applicable. The billable hours for the partners during the first three years of operation follow:
2016 2017 2018
Gray 2,020 4,200 2,130
Stone 1,680 2,300 1,860
Lawson 3,700 1,620 1,550
Monet 0 1,430 1,820

A company had net sales of $30,200 and ending accounts receivable of $4,000 for the current period. Its days' sales uncollected equals:_________ (Use 365 days a year.)a) 7.55 days.b) 59.54 days.c) 63.64 days.d) 48.34 days.e) 40.34 days.
Answer:
d) 48.34 days
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Its days' sales uncollected equals
Using this formula
Days' sales uncollected=Ending accounts receivable÷Net sales *365 days
Let plug in the formula
Days' sales uncollected=$4,000÷$30,200*365 days
Days' sales uncollected=48.34 days
Therefore Its days' sales uncollected equals:48.34 days
Bella, Inc. manufactures two kinds of bagstotes and satchels. The company allocates manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate with direct labor cost as the allocation base. Estimated overhead costs for the year are$25,750. Additional estimated information is given below. Totes Satchels Direct materials cost per unit $33 $44Direct labor cost per unit $52 $60Number of units 520 370Calculate the pre-determined overhead allocation rate.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that estimated overhead costs for the year = $25,750
Bagstotes:
Direct materials cost per unit = $33
Direct labor cost per unit = $52
Number of units = 520
Satchels
Direct materials cost per unit = $44
Direct labor cost per unit = $60
Number of units = 370
Estimated direct labor =
(Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of totes + (Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of Satchels
= ($52 × 520) + ($60 × 370)
= $27,040 + $22,200
= $29,240
Predetermine overhead allocation rate:
= Estimated overhead / Estimated direct labor × 100
= $25,750 / $29,240 × 100
= 88.06%
Gentle Ben's Bar and Restaurant uses 6,700 quart bottles of an imported wine each year. The effervescent wine costs $4 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because it loses its bubbles quickly. Ben figures that it costs $25 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 15 percent of the purchase price. It takes three weeks for an order to arrive. Weekly demand is 134 bottles (closed two weeks per year) with a standard deviation of 30 bottles. Ben would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost and will provide a 95 percent service probability.
Required:
a. What is the economic quantity for Ben to order? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
b. At what inventory level should he place an order? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
a. The answer is:762 bottlé.
b. The answer is: 487 bottles.
Explanation:
a. The economic order quantity is calculated as: [tex]\sqrt{(2xDxS/H)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{2 x 6968 x 25)/0.6[/tex] = 762 units because: D = annual demand = Weekly demand x week opening per year = 134 x 52 = 6968; S = Cost per order = 25; H = Holding cost per unit = 15% x purchase price = 15% x 4 = 0.6
b. Inventory level to place order:
With the inventory system providing a 95 percent service probability, z level is 1.64 (using the NORM.S.INV function in excel).
So Inventory level to place order = 134 * 3 + 1.64 * 30 * 3^0.5= 487 bottles.
Leona, whose marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent, owns 100 percent of the stock of Henley Corporation. This year, Henley generates $1 million of taxable income.
If Henley wants to pay all of its after-tax earnings to Leona as a dividend, calculate the amount of the dividend payment.
Calculate Leona’s tax due on the dividend computed in part a, and her after-tax cash flow from the dividend receipt.
Compute the combined corporate and individual tax burden on Henley’s $1 million of current year income, and the effective combined tax rate on this income.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be noted that there's a flat tax rate of 21% on the taxable income, therefore the after tax income will be:
= (1 - 21%) × $1 million
= 79% × $1 million
= $790,000
Therefore, the amount of the dividend payment is $790,000 which is given to Leona.
The after tax cash flow from the dividend receipt will be:
= $790,000 - (20% × $790,000)
= $790,000 - (0.2 × $790,000)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
Therefore, the total tax by Henly and Leona will then be:
= $210,000 + $158,000
= $368,000.
This is 36.8% (368000/1 million) of the tax rate.
Doug Datner had an eclectic background. He completed his law degree from the University of Virginia, then went to work for a technology start-up in Dubai. After the start-up was purchased by a larger corporation, affording Doug a hefty sum of money, Doug and his spouse returned to the United States. While working with an architect and a designer to build their dream home, they realized that there was not a provider of high-quality custom-made door and window hardware at a reasonable price point in the United States. Even though Doug had no experience in the field, he decided to start a business manufacturing high-quality custom-made door and window hardware. He named the company Hardware House Doug and his wife cleared space in their newly constructed garage, designed several basic prototypes, and hired a metalwork expert to replicate their prototypes. They decided to have a few designs in catalog as one component of their business, but have the capability to alter those designs to provide designers with custom hardware. The first few years were tough. Business was steady enough to hire a second metalwork expert, but cash flow challenges often made Doug worry whether he would be able to pay his metalwork experts on time. Still, the Hardware House had gained a number of consistent clients, and was able to move into an old warehouse space and expand operations. Ten years later, Hardware House has nearly 100 employees. While the majority of the employees work in manufacturing, there are also employees in marketing, design, accounting, and human resources. Doug structured the business to limit his liability in case of lawsuit, but still managed to maintain the business without sharing ownership.
Which of the following is an advantage Doug should expect by sharing ownership with others?
a. Gaining access to all of the distribution of profits.
b. Access to additional knowledge and expertise.
c. Additional freedom from government regulation.
d. Enhanced control to make decisions immediately
e. Greater degree of secrecy
Answer: b. Access to additional knowledge and expertise.
Explanation:
One of the advantages of opening a limited company be it private or public, is the additional knowledge that the other shareholders would bring on board.
In the case of a private company, the new shareholders would be from various backgrounds and would have knowledge on how to grow the business and in the case of a public company, the Board of Directors are usually drawn from various industries and so will put their experience from those industries into the company thereby giving it an edge.
