You want to invest in a project in LaLaLand. The project has an initial cost of LLL 757,000 and is expected to produce cash inflows of LLL 396,000 a year for 3 years. The project will be worthless after that. The expected inflation rate in LaLaLand is 4% while it is only 3% in the U.S. The applicable interest rate for a project like this in LaLaLand is 12%. The current spot exchange rate is LLL1 = $2.3456.

What is the Net Present Value of this project in Lalaland's currency.(i.e., in "LLL")?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

194,112.8

Explanation:

The computation of  Net Present Value is shown below:-

Net Present Value = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of Cash outflows

= -757,000 + 396,000 × PVAF (12%, 3 years)

= -757,000 + 396,000 × 2.4018

= -757,000 + 951,112.8

= LLC 194,112.8

= 194,112.8

Therefore for computing the net present value we simply applied the above formula.

Cr premium on bonds payable  $122,577.26  

Cr bonds payable                        $1,910,000

Explanation:

First and foremost the proceeds received from the bond issuance needs to determine the pv formula in excel as follows:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield  to maturity of 9%

nper is the number of annual coupons payable by the bond which is 10

pmt is the amount of annual coupon i.e  $1,910,000*10%=$191000

fv is the face value of the bond which is  $1,910,000

=-pv(9%,10,191000,1910000)=$2,032,577.26

A. $ 82.80 B. $ 19.20 C. $ 46.00 D. $ 16.00

Answers

Answer:

Transfer price  = $19.2

Explanation:

The transfer price is the price at which goods are exchanged between the divisions of the same group.

The transfer price is stated to be 120% of the full cost

Full cost of extraction = Variable cost + fixed cost

                                      = $ 12 + $ 4 = $16 per barrel

Transfer price =   120%× $16 = $19.2

Beerbo purchased a patent from Mitter Lite Co. for $1,000,000 on January 1, 2018. At that time, the patent's useful life was 10 years, expiring on December 31, 2027. In early 2020, Beerbo determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 4 more years (6 years from the date of acquisition). Given the revised useful life, Beerbo expects the useful life of the patent to expire on December 31, [a1]. (Input year; e.g. "2020") At the end of 2019 / beginning of 2020, what was the value / net book value of the patent in Beerbo's books

Answers

Answer:

$800,000

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Beerbo expects patent's useful life to expire on Dec-31 2023.

At the beginning of 2020 / end of 2019, the value of the patent in Beerbo's book = $1,000,000 - ($1,000,000 ÷ 10×2))

= $800,000

Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate

Answers

Answer:

$21.42

Explanation:

The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours

= $87,822 ÷ 4,100

= $21.42

Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.

What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year? Select: 1 $79,097 $509,129 $381,753 $143,497

Answers

Answer:

$79,097

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

Hence in current year,

Total equity = $255,213 - $151,328

= $103,885

If retained earnings is $47,588 then common stock

= $103,885  - $47,588

= $56,297

Change to equity next year

= $55,000

Change to retained earnings

= $44,200 - $12,000

= $32,200

Hence change in common stock

= $55,000 - $32,200

= $22,800

Common stock balance

= $56,297  + $22,800

= $79,097

Answers

Answer:

$12.88

Explanation:

given information

units sold 60,000

desired profit = 25% x $700,000 = $175,000

fixed factory overhead = $38,700

fixed S&A = $7,500

direct materials per unit = $4.60

direct labor per unit = $1.88

variable overhead per unit = $1.13

variable S&A per unit = $4.50

the cost per unit:

direct materials per unit = $4.60direct labor per unit = $1.88variable overhead per unit = $1.13variable S&A per unit = $4.50fixed factory overhead = $38,700 / 60,000 = $0.645fixed S&A = $7,500 / 60,000 = $0.125total cost per unit = $12.88

the desired profit = $2.92, so the selling price to achieve the desired profit should = $15.80

Answers

Answer:

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Explanation:

In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:

Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)

Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)

Overhead allocated=$4,080

Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Answer:

The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Bond face value=$7,080,000

interest rate=11%

There are 3 months interest recognized from july to september, therefore, to calculate the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 we would have to make the following calculation:

amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$7,080,000*11%*3 months / 12 months

amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$194,700

The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 235,950 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.

Desired ending inventory= one month's sales

Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.

First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:

Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350

Now, we can determine the production for the year:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600

Production= 235,950 units

Fixed expenses are $384,000 per month. The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $9 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $46,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

Answers

Answer:

A reduction of $12,500 in net operating income

Explanation:

The net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.

The change in the company's net operating income is the net of the increased commission and the total decrease in salaries. The commission is a variable cost that is dependent on the total number of units sold.

Hence the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

= $46,000 - ($9 * 6500)

= ($12,500)

He would pay ​$945 in taxes if he held the stock for less than a year. How much would Joel save in taxes if he held the stock for more than a​ year, assuming he sold it for the same​ amount?

Answers

Answer:

Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year

Explanation:

If the stock is held for more than one year and then sold then the gain on sale would be long term capital gain

The long term capital gain would be charged at preferential rate of 15%

Calculate long term capital gain tax on sale

Long term capital gain                    (Sale price - Purchase price)*No of shares

Long term capital gain                    (58-31)*100

Long term capital gain                    $2700

Tax on long term capital gain           2700*15%      

Tax on long term capital gain     $405

Savings in tax                                    945 - 405      

Savings in tax                                    $540

Thus, Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year

Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $520,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $150,000 + $85,000

= $235,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)

= $85,000

Now the payback period is

= $520,000 ÷ $235,000

= 2.21 years

2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $380,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $60,000 + $45,000

= $105,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $45,000

Now the payback period is

= $380,000 ÷ $105,000

= 3.62 years

The management of Unter Corporation, an architectural design firm, is considering an investment with the following cash flows: Year Investment Cash Inflow 1 $ 59,000 $ 5,000 2 $ 9,000 $ 10,000 3 $ 20,000 4 $ 21,000 5 $ 24,000 6 $ 22,000 7 $ 20,000 8 $ 18,000 9 $ 17,000 10 $ 17,000 Required: 1. Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large

Answers

Answer:

4.5 years

No

Explanation:

The Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amounts invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Total investments = $-59,000 - $9,000 = $-68,000

In the first year: $-68,000 + $5,000 = $-63,000 is recovered

In the 2nd year: $-63,000 + $ 10,000 = $-53,000 is recovered

In the 3rd year: $-53,000 +  $ 20,000 = $-33,000 is recovered

In the 4th year $-33,000 + 21,000 = $-12,000

In the 5th year $-12000 + $24,000 = $12,000

The amount invested is recovered between the 4th and 5th year

4 years + $-12000 / $24,000 = 4.5years

The Payback period  would not be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large because the cash flow would have been recovered by the 5tj year.

When China reformed state-owned enterprises, it tried a new approach to choosing managers: it put managerial jobs up for auction. The bids for the jobs consisted of promises of future profit streams that the managers would generate and then deliver to the state. In cases where the incumbent manager was the winning bidder, firm productivity tended to increase dramatically. When outside bidders won, there was little productivity improvement. If incumbent managers were not generally more qualified, how can you explain this result?

Answers

Answer: The explanation is provided below

Explanation:

An outsider tend to overbid with a eye to get the job while, an insider manager bids a realistic performance that is achievable. An insider manager understands the factors which affect the organization's performance and then tries to take control of the factors.

People make or break organizations and there is a greater chance of the insider getting the support and cooperation of the employees in comparision to outside bidders. Also, an insider manager has a prospective that is long term with regard to his or her association with the enterprise while an outsider may come and then realize that he doesn't like the organization and then leave for a better enterprise.

Therefore internal managers are a better prospect of being given the responsibility to manage the enterprise.

Answer:

Explanation:

A stranger tends to bid excessively  to get the job. In contrast, the internal manager offers realistic, achievable performance. The internal manager understands the factors that influence the organization's performance and tries to take control of it. There is a greater chance that an insider will get employee support and cooperation than strangers . Insider manager has been in the organisation for and already know the rules that guide the company, The Dos ans Donts.. A stranger have lilttle or no knowledge about how the company is run and  can choose to stay or  he will go to a better company. Therefore, internal managers are in good position for   taking responsibility for running the welfare and activites of a company.

Blue Sky Company’s 12/31/15 balance sheet reports assets of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $2,400,000. All of Blue Sky’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $360,000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/15, Horace Wimp Corporation paid $6,120,000 to acquire Blue Sky. What amount of goodwill should Horace Wimp record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer:

$2,160,000

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount of excess consideration payment over net asset value of acquiring company. It is the net value of consideration payment and Fair value of net assets.

To calculate goodwill first we need to determine fair value of assets and Liabilities.

Total Fair value of Assets = $6,000,000 + $360,000 = $6,360,000

Liabilities = $2,400,000

Net Asset value = Assets - Liability = $6,360,000 - $2,400,000 = $3,960,000

Goodwill = Consideration - Net Asset Value = $6,120,000 - $3,960,000 = $2,160,000

Assume that you are a retail customer. Use the information below to answer the following question. Bid Ask Borrowing Lending S0($/€) $1.42 = €1.00 $1.45 = €1.00 i$ 4.25% APR 4% APR F360($/€) $1.48 = €1.00 $1.50 = €1.00 i€ 3.10% APR 3% APR If you borrowed $1,000,000 for one year, how much money would you owe at maturity? A. $1,450,352 B. $1,042,500 C. € 1,024,500 D. $1,525,400

Answers

Answer:

$1,042,500.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given the following parameters; under the bid, we have $1.42 = €1.00 and $1.48 = €1.00; the borrowing and lending are $ 4.25% and 4% APR respectively for S0($/€).

Also, for F360($/€), the bid and ask values are: $1.48 = €1.00 and $1.50 = €1.00 respectively; the borrowing and lending values are 3.10% APR and 3% APR.

Therefore, the Borrowing rate is ($) 4.25% in $ . Thus, $1,000,000 for one year, one we owe

$1,000,000 × (1 + 0.0425) = $1,042,500 at maturity.

Consider a portfolio manager with a $20,500,000 equity portfolio under management. The manager wishes to hedge against a decline in share values using stock index futures. Currently a stock index future is priced at 1250 and has a multiplier of 250. The portfolio beta is 1.25. Calculate the number of contracts required to hedge the risk exposure and indicate whether the manager should be short or long.

Answers

Answer:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

$1,550,000

Explanation:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.

Number of contracts required to hedge

= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts

Profit on the equity portfolio

= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000

Profit on the stock index future

= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000

Overall profit

=  $2,050,000 - $500,000

= $1,550,000

therefore, the overall profit is  $1,550,000

Depreciation by Two Methods A storage tank acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $80,000 has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method. $ b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a. Annual depreciation = $3,800

b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.

Explanation:

a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.

Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000

Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800

b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%

Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%

First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000

Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200
