Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%
Answer:
d. 9.55%
Explanation:
we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:
future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor
future value = $45,000
annual contribution = $4,000
FV annuity factor = ?
FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25
FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i
11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i
11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1
solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:
e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1
1.020375 ≠ 1.0028
d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1
1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct
Crador Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,100 units. 14,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 800 units. Equivalent units for conversion costs were 14,800. What percentage complete was the ending inventory with respect to conversion costs on January 31 using the weighted-average method
Answer: 62.5%
Explanation:
Equivalent units = Units completed and transferred out + percentage completed of ending inventory
14,800 = (1,100 + 14,000 - 800) + Percentage
14,800 = 14,300 + Percentage amount completed
Percentage amount completed = 14,800 - 14,300
Percentage amount completed = 500 units
Percentage = Ending equivalent units / ending inventory
= (500/800) * 100
= 62.5%
During 20x1, Orca Corp. decided to change from the FIFO method of inventory valuation to the weighted-average method. Inventory balances under each method were as follows:________.
FIFO Weighted-average
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
In its 2005 financial statements, what amount should Orca report as the cumulative effect of this accounting change?
a) $2,800
b) $4,000
c) $4,200
d) $6,000
Answer:
Orca Corp.
The cumulative effect of this accounting change in estimate is:
That the cost of goods sold will be reduced by:
b) $4,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO Weighted-average Difference
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000 $6,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000 $4,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
Note that the difference in the cost of the beginning inventory does not have any effect in the current period's financials. It was an estimate that was done previously and Orca does not need to restate its financials for the previous year because of the change. The accounting change only affects the current period.
Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000
Your parents will retire in 27 years. They currently have $280,000 saved, and they think they will need $1,900,000 at retirement. What annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal, assuming they don't save any additional funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Annual Rate=7.35%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal
Number of years =27
PV =280,000
FV =1,900,000
Using this formula
Annual Rate=(FV/PV)^(1/n)-1
Let plug in the formula
Annual Rate=(1,900,000/280,000)^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=6.7857^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=1.07349-1
Annual Rate=0.0735
Annual Rate=7.35%
Therefore the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal will be 7.35%

Clark Company estimated the net realizable value of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019, to be $167,000, based on an aging schedule of accounts receivable. Clark has also provided the following information: The accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 was $177,400. Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019 totaled $12,200. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 was $15,400. How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
Answer: $7200
Explanation:
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense will be calculated thus:
Balance for allowance for doubtful accounts will be:
= $177400 - $167000
= $10400
The Uncollectible accounts written off will be:
= $15400 - $12200
= $3200
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense:
= $10400 - $3200
= $7200

Future Value= $460,000,0000
Number of periods= 29 years
Interest rate= 4.2%
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1+i)^n
PV= 460,000,000 / (1.042^29)
PV= $139,506,351.8

The following assets in Jack’s business were sold in 2020: Asset Holding Period Gain/(Loss) Office equipment 6 years $1,100 Automobile 8 months ($ 800) ABC stock (capital asset) 2 years $1,400 Office equipment, purchased for $8,000, had a zero adjusted basis. The automobile was purchased for $2,000 and sold for $1,200. The ABC stock was purchased for $1,800 and sold for $3,200. In 2020 (the year of sale), Jack should report what amount of net capital gain and net ordinary income?
Answer:
Net capital gain = $1,400
Net ordinary income = $300
Explanation:
Long term Capital gain = $1,400 from sale of stock since it was hold for 2 years (more than 1 year)
Ordinary gain = $1,100 - $800 = $300 since automobile was 6 months old and equipment had zero basis

On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 2017, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the time-weighted rate of return for Brian's stock portfolio over the two year period
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.
Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016
start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000
Return = [tex]\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1[/tex]
Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017
start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000
Return = [tex]\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571[/tex]
Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017
start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000
Return = [tex]\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901[/tex].
Therefore, time weighted return
= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1
= 0.019305
= 1.93%.

The accounts receivable balance of $12,900 consists of $10,000 not yet due, $1,600 up to 30 days past due, and $1,300 greater than 30 days past due. What is the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Answer:
$1,164
Explanation:
Calculation for the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Bad Debt Expense= (10,000 * 0.07) + (1,600 * 0.15) + (1,300 * 0.48) =
Bad Debt Expense=700+240+624
Bad Debt Expense=1,564 -400
Bad Debt Expense=$1,164
Therefore the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense will be $1,164
ACE Co. stock is not paying a dividend today, but has announced it will start paying a dividend in year 4 of $2.00 per share, and that will increase 5% per year forever. What is an estimate of the price of the stock today if r
Answer:
$77.22
Explanation:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question and found that Re = 9%
Div₀ = 0
Div₁ = 0
Div₂ = 0
Div₃ = 0
Div₄ = $2
the terminal value at year 3 = Div₄ / (Re - g) = $4 / (9% - 5%) = $100
in order to determine the current stock price we must discount $100 by 9% for 3 periods = $100 / 1.09³ = $77.22
Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:
In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed
But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000
So, here the amount would be
= $6,000 × 35%
= $1,860
Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit
Doreen has preferences represented by the utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. She consumes 10 units of good x and 9 units of good y. If her consumption of good x is lowered to 1, how many units of y must she have in order to be exactly as well off as before?
Answer:
she must consume 11 units of good Y
Explanation:
Doreen's current utility = (10 x 10) + (5 x 9) = 145 utils
if she consumes only 9 goods of X, her utility will be:
90 + 5Y
the amount of good Y that makes both equations equal is:
90 + 5Y = 145
5Y = 55
Y = 55 / 5 = 11 units

a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods

a. Consumption schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. b. Saving schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. c. What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago
Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.
The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.
If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%
Answer:
a. 10.3%
Explanation:
P∝F of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)
P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40
Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%
In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
The semi annual interest = $20
Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20
Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%
Principal amount is $1,000
Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)
Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118
Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8
Market Value = 541.198
Market value = $541.20
Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000
Number of bonds = 10,000
Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value
Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20
Current market value = $5,412,000
The firm has just declared a dividend of $1.09 per share for the current fiscal year. The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Explanation:
Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.
This means that this stock will reduce to:
= 31.17 - 1.09
= $30.08
Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share
= 30.08/2.11
= $14.26
Option E is correct.
