On April 1, Dallow, Inc. factored $160,000 of its accounts receivable without recourse. The factor retained 10% of the accounts receivable as an allowance for sales returns and charged a 5% commission on the gross amount of the factored receivables. What amount of cash did Dallow receive from the factored receivables
Answer:
$136,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Amount receivable = $160,000
Allowance for sales return = 10% × $160,000 = $16,000
Commission = 5% × $160,000 = $8,000
So, amount of cash from factored receivables can be calculated by using following formula,
Cash from factored receivables = Amount receivable - Allowance for sales return - Commission
= $160,000 - $16,000 - $8,000
= $136,000

Pharmicon, Inc., a pharmaceutical firm, discovered a complete cure for the common cold. The medicine could be put into a pill that would be taken once a day for a week. Knowing these results, directors of Pharmicon decided to delay the press release and bought thousands of shares of Pharmicon stock. After the purchases, Pharmicon issued a press release about the pill. The price of the stock skyrocketed. When the SEC found out about the purchases and the delay in the press release, it sued Pharmicon for violating Rule 10b-5. The court in this case would most likely rule in favor of Group of answer choices
Question Completion:
a. the SEC, because the information about the cure was material and was not disclosed to the public prior to the directors' purchase of the stock.
b.Pharmicon, because the information was not material.
c.the SEC, because owning company stock is a conflict of interest for the directors.
d.Pharmicon, because they issued a press release to the public
Answer:
Pharmicon, Inc.
The court in this case would most likely rule in favor of:
a. the SEC, because the information about the cure was material and was not disclosed to the public prior to the directors' purchase of the stock.
Explanation:
SEC's Rule 10b-5 forbids insider trading and, therefore, enables the SEC to sue individuals who use the privileged information they acquire about an entity's security to buy or sell the entity's securities. The information may be acquired illegally or legally, provided it is not publicly available. Insider trading exists when a professional breaches a fiduciary duty or betrays the trust and confidence reposed in him by trading on a security based on material, nonpublic information about the security.
A quality analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are in control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results.
Machine 1 Measirement 17 15 15 17
Machine 2 Measurement 16 25 18 25
Machine 3 Measurement 23 24 23 22
What are the Mean chart three-sigma upper and lower control limits?
a. 22 and 18
b. 23.16 and 16.84
c. 22.29 and 16.71
d. 23.5 and 16.5
e. 24 and 16
Answer:
b. 23.16 and 16.84
Explanation:
Mean (X-bar) = Sum of observations / No of observations
Range (R) = Highest observation - Lowest observation
Machine 1
Mean (X-bar) = (17 + 15 + 15 + 17) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 16
Range (R) = (17 - 15)
Range (R) = 2
Machine 2
Mean (X-bar) = (16 + 25 + 18 + 25) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 21
Range (R) = (25 - 16)
Range (R) = 9
Machine 3
Mean (X-bar) = (23 + 24 + 23 + 22) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 23
Range (R) = (24 - 22)
Range (R) = 2
Mean of means (X-double bar) = Sum of X-bar / Number of samples = (16 + 21 + 23) / 3 = 20
Mean of ranges (R-bar) = Sum of R / Number of samples = (2 + 9 + 2) / 3 = 4.33
From table of constants for calculating the 3-sigma upper and lower control limits, For n = 4, A2 = 0.729
UCL = X-double bar + (A2 x R-bar)
UCL = 20 + (0.729 x 4.33)
UCL = 23.1566
UCL = 23.16
LCL = X-double bar - (A2 x R-bar)
LCL = 20 - (0.729 x 4.33)
LCL = 16.8434
LCL = 16.84
The management of Penfold Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $270,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $60,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 12% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:______.
a. $(11,700).
b. $(53,700).
c. $(269,997).
d. $(113,700).
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $270,000
Cash flow= $60,000
Number of years= 5
Discount rate= 12%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:
Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43
Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63
.....
Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57
Now, the NPV:
NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57
NPV= -53,713.43

Absorption and Variable Costing Comparisons: Production Equals Sales Assume that Smuckers manufactures and sells 30,000 cases of peanut butter each quarter.
The following data are available for the third quarter of 2017.
Total fixed manufacturing overhead.......................................................90,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses........... .. . .. . .. . . . . .. . . . . . 20,000
Sale price per case..................................................................................32
Direct materials per case .......................................................................15
Direct labor per case ........................................................................6
Variable manufacturing overhead per case ..........................................3
a. Compute the cost per case under both absorption costing and variable costing.
b. Reconcile any differences in income. Explain.
c. Compute te net income under both absorption costing and variable costing.
Answer:
a. Cost per case under Absorption costing:
= Direct materials per case + Direct labor per case + Variable manufacturing overhead per case + Fixed manufacturing overhead per case
= 15 + 6 + 3 + 90,000/ 30,000 cases
= $27
Cost per case under Variable costing:
= Direct materials per case + Direct labor per case + Variable manufacturing overhead per case
= 15 + 6 + 3
= $24
b. First we need to calculate income under both methods:
Under Absorption costing:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and Admin expenses
= (30,000 cases * 32) - (30,000 * 27) - 20,000
= $130,000
Under Variable Costing:
= Sales - Cost of Goods sold - Fixed manufacturing overhead - Selling and Admin expenses
= (30,000 * 32) - (30,000 * 24) - 90,000 - 20,000
= $130,000
There is no difference in income because the cases manufactured equals the cases sold.
During 2019, Coronado Industries expected Job No. 26 to cost $300000 of overhead, $500000 of materials, and $200000 in labor. Coronado applied overhead based on direct labor cost. Actual production required an overhead cost of $370000, $610000 in materials used, and $260000 in labor. All of the goods were completed. What amount was transferred to Finished Goods?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we will compute the predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate
= Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated labor
= $300,000/$200,000
= 1.5
The next step is to apply the
= [(1.5 × $260,000) + $260,000 + $610,000]
= $390,000 + $260,000 + $610,000
= $1,260,000

The average cost pricing is used by the government in order to control the price that may be charged by the monopolist.
With the average cost pricing, monopolists are forced to reduce the price that twhy charge for a product to a point whereby the average total cost of the firm and the market demand curve will intersect.
This is vital as it brings about productive efficiency, increase production and also the reduction in the price of a good.
Therefore, the correct option is C "it ensures productive efficiency".

A company issues the following bonds on June 1, 2002. Series A (counts as two) Series B $50 million BBB June 1, 2030 June 1, 2008 100 Par Value Rating Maturity Call date Call price $50 million BBB June 1, 2030 Non-callable -- If both bonds have the same market liquidity, the yield-to-maturity on the Series A bond should be [ ] than yield-to-maturity on Series B bond. a) higher b) lower c) the same d) either higher or lower(depending notherfactors)
Answer: a. Higher
Explanation:
Series A is a callable bond which means that the company will be able to buy it back after a certain period of time at a price dictated in the contract.
This provision is an advantage to the Issuer but not the investors so the Issuer will have to pay the investors more to get them to buy the bond even with the presence of this provision.
This additional payment will come in the form of a higher yield. This is why callable bonds have higher yields than non-callable comparable bonds.

Jonathan has a debt of $3,000 that needs to be repaid with 3 annual equal principal repayments with interest on the outstanding balance. The debt has an annual effective interest rate of 8%. In order to match his payment obligations exactly, Jonathan decides to purchase the following zero coupon bonds. Time to Maturity Par Value 1 year $1,000 2 years $ 800 3 years $ 900 Calculate the number of units of the 3-year bond Jonathan should buy, assuming fractional purchase is possible
Answer:
Jonathan
The number of units of the 3-year bond that Jonathan should buy is:
3.88 or 3 and 22/25 bonds.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value of debt = $3,000
Annual effective interest rate = 8%
Total future value of the debt with interest = $3,492.30
Equal annual repayment of the debt = $1,164.10 ($3,492.30/3)
Number of 3-year bond that Jonathan should buy = $3,492.30/$900 = 3.88 or 3 and 22/25 bonds
Time to Maturity Par Value
1 year $1,000
2 years $ 800
3 years $ 900
From an online calculator, the total amount to be paid with interest is $3,492.30:
N (# of periods) 3
I/Y (Interest per year) 8
PV (Present Value) 3000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,164.10
Sum of all periodic payments $3,492.30
Total Interest $492.30
Answer:
1.2
Explanation:
Given that we are making 3 Equal Principle Payments on a loan of $3000, the principle that we will repay each year will be [tex]\frac{3000}{3} = $1000[/tex].
First Year:
The interest that we will need to repay during the first year will be 3000*.08 which will be $240 dollars of interest, so we will be paying a total of 1000 + 240, or $1240 for the first year reducing the amount due to $2000.
Second Year:
The interest that we will need to repay during the second year will be 2000*.08 which will be $160 of interest, so we will be paying a total of 1000 + 160, or $1160 which will reduce the amount due $1000.
Third Year:
This is the year that we care for. We have a total interest amount of $80, so we will be paying a total of $1080 for the third year.
Given that the par value of the Zero Coupon bond for the third year is $900, we will need [tex]\frac{1080}{900} = 1.2[/tex] coupons for the final year, giving us our answer of 1.2 3-year bonds that Jonathan should buy.

Boenisch Corporation produces and sells a single product with the following characteristics: The company is currently selling 8,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $406,000 per month. Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $3. Since the new component would increase the features of the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 400 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer: Increase by $2,000
Explanation:
Current net operating income is:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (68 * 8,000) - 406,000
= $138,000
If component is added, Variable cost increases by $3 to $105. New contribution margin is:
= 170 - 105
= $65
Units sold increases by 400 to 8,400.
Net operating income becomes:
= (65 * 8,400) - 406,000
= $140,000
Net operating income increased by:
= 140,000 - 138,000
= $2,000
Which of the following is incorrect?
a. Future value means earning interest on interest.
b. External equity and dividends can be used as plug variables in a financial plan.
c. A financial plug variable is the designated source of external financing needed to deal with any shortfall or surplus in financing and thereby bring the balance sheet into balance.
d. There are two primary mechanisms for electing directors: cumulative voting and straight voting.
e. The rate required in the market on a bond is the yield to maturity.
Answer:
b. External equity and dividends can be used as plug variables in a financial plan.
Explanation:
When the external equity and dividend is applied like the plus variables in the financial plan so as a plug variable it represent the external financing source i.e. dividend that required to deal with any deficit or surplus in the financing and the external equity is not a source of the external financing
Therefore the option b is considered
The likelihood that a decision maker will ever receive a payoff precisely equal to the EMV when making any one decision is: a. Low (near 0%) b. High (near 100%) c. Dependent on the number of alternatives d. Dependent upon the number of states of nature 3 points
Answer: low (near 0%)
Explanation:
The expected monetary value(EMV) simply refers to the amount of money that an economic agent can expect to make based on a particular decision that's made.
It should be noted that the likelihood that a decision maker will be able to receive a payoff that is exactly as thesame as the EMV when a decision is being made will be near to zero as it's very low that it'll happen.
After graduating from UCF, you plan to purchase a small condominium for $100,000. You will be required by the bank to put a down payment of 10% of the purchase price. You plan to finance the loan for 30 years. Assume monthly payments and a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 3%. What percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal
Answer:
Percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal is 41.95%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule for the first 25 months.
In the attached excel file, the monthly is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the balance to pay = Cost * (100% - Percentage of down payment) = $100,000 * (100% - 10%) = $90,000
P = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = Nominal rate / 12 = 3% / 12 = 0.25%, or 0.0025
n = number of months to repay = 30 years * 12 months = 360
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$90,000 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0025))^360) / 0.0025)
$90,000 = P * 237.189381504283
P = $90,000 / 237.189381504283
P = $379.44
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total payment for the first 25 months = $9,486.09
Total repayment of principal for the first 25 months = $3,979.17
Therefore, we have:
Percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal = (Total repayment of principal for the first 25 months / Total payment for the first 25 months) * 100 = ($3,979.17 / $9,486.09) * 100 = 41.95%
A firm has to choose between two technologies; both produce same output with one being labor intensive and other being capital intensive. The firm will use labor intensive technology when _________________. Select the correct answer below: wages are less than the interest rate total cost of labor is less than total cost of capital average variable cost is less than average fixed cost labor is more productive than capital
Answer:
total cost of labor is less than total cost
Explanation:
In the case when the firm would use the labor intensive technology at the time when the marginal product from labor intensive would be more than the marginal product of capital intensive this is due to the rise in the firm benefit as the firm would produce and sell more
The other thing is that the cost of labor intensive would be less than the capital intensive cost. This cost would benefit the organization with respect to the decision making
