Answer:
the cash balance at the end of May is $37,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cash balance at the end of May is shown below:
= Opening cash balance + cash sales + received payment - paid wages - utilities
= $25,000 + $18,000 + $15,800 - $16,000 - $5,800
= $37,000
Hence, the cash balance at the end of May is $37,000
We simply applied the above formula to determine the cash balance at the end of May

Suppose that the Federal Reserve is conducting an expansionary monetary policy. It will _____ Treasury bills on the open market, so that the money supply will _____, interest rates will _____, planned investment spending will _____, and the AD curve will shift to the _____. sell; increase; rise; rise; left buy; increase; fall; rise; right sell; decrease; rise; fall; left buy; decrease; fall; fall; left
Answer:
buy; increase; fall; rise; right.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
An inflationary gap, also known as the expansionary gap in economics is used to measure the difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and the current level of real Gross Domestic Products that exists when a country's economy is guaged at a full employment rate. This eventually causes the price of goods and services to go up with a low income level.
Basically, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.
Hence, the Fed will buy Treasury bills on the open market, so that the money supply will increase, interest rates will fall, planned investment spending will rise, and the aggregate demand (AD) curve will shift to the right.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
An aggregate demand curve gives a negative relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in an economy at a specific period of time.
The board of directors of Capstone Inc. declared a $0.60 per share cash dividend on its $1 par common stock. On the date of declaration, there were 50,000 shares authorized, 20,000 shares issued, and 3,200 shares held as treasury stock. What is the entry for the dividend declaration?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below;
Dividend payable $10,080
_________To Cash $10,080
(Being the payment of dividend paid)
The computation is shown below;
= (20,000 shares - 3,200 shares) × $0.6
= $10,080
Dividend payable was debited as it decreases liabilities and credited cash as it reduced the assets.
Assume that you are an intern with the Brayton Company, and you have collected the following data: The yield on the company's outstanding bonds is 7.75%; its tax rate is 40%; the next expected dividend is $0.65 a share; the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year; the price of the stock is $15.00 per share; the flotation cost for selling new shares is 10%, and the target capital structure is 45% debt and 55% common equity. What is the firm's WACC, assuming?
Answer:
The firm's WACC will be "8.04%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Yield of maturity,
= 7.75%
Rate of tax,
= 40%
Next year's dividend,
= $o.65
Growth,
= 6%
Share price,
= $15
Flotation cost,
= 10%
[tex]w_d=45 \ percent[/tex]
[tex]w_s=55 \ percent[/tex]
Now,
= [tex]r_d(1-Rate \ of \ tax)[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]7.75(1-0.40)[/tex]
= [tex]4.65 \ percent[/tex]
The [tex]r_e[/tex] will be:
= [tex]\frac{D1}{p}\times (1-F)+G[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.65}{15}\times (1-0.1)+6[/tex]
= [tex]4.81+6[/tex]
= [tex]10.81 \ percent[/tex]
hence,
The firm's WACC will be:
= [tex]w_d(r_d)(1-T)+w_s(r_s)[/tex]
= [tex]0.45\times 4.65+0.55\times 10.81[/tex]
= [tex]2.0925+5.9455[/tex]
= [tex]8.04[/tex]%

On Point, Inc., is interested in producing and selling a deluxe electric pencil sharpener. Market research indicates that customers are willing to pay $40 for such a sharpener and that 20,000 units could be sold each year at this price. The cost to produce the sharpener is currently estimated to be $34. a. If On Point requires a 20 percent return on sales to undertake production of a product, what is the target cost for the new pencil sharpener
Answer: $32
Explanation:
The target cost would be such that 20% of the $40 that people are willing to pay would be profit.
The target profit is therefore:
= 20% * 40
= $8
Target cost is therefore:
= Amount customers would pay - Target profit
= 40 - 8
= $32
Answer:
The answer is $32 for sure :)

(Use 365 days for any calculations.) A. 56.77 days B. 53.28 days C. 51.41 days D. 123.31 days
Answer:
Option A is correct
Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days
Explanation:
The days' sales in inventory is the average length if days for which product remain in stock until they are sold. The shorter the days the better.
Days' sales in inventory = (closing stock/cost of goods sold) × 365 days
Days' sales in inventory= 49,000/315,000× 365 days= 56.77 days
Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days

concord corporation purchased a new machine on may 1, 2012 for $559200. at the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $26400. the company has recorded monthly depreciation using the straight-line method. on march 1, 2021, the machine was sold for $71400. what schold be the loss regognized from the sale of the machine
Answer:
$17,160
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Purchase price = $559,200
Useful life = 10 years or 120 months
Salvage value = $26,400
Total time in months(May1,2012 - Mar1,2021) = 106 months
So, depreciation cost = ($559,200 - $26,400) ÷ 120 = $4,440 per month
So, total depreciation cost for 106 months = $4,440 × 106 = $470,640
Book value = Purchase price - depreciation
= $559,200 - $470,640
= $88,560
Hence, Loss = Book value - sold value
= $88,560 - $71,400
= $17,160
The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $60,000 in 2011 after paying $20,000 cash dividends in each of 2010 and 2009. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2011?
a. 28000
b. 30000
c. 50000
d. 25000
Answer:
Option a (28000) is the right option.
Explanation:
Given:
Preferred stock,
= $400,000
In year 2009 and 2010, the dividends paid,
= $20,000 each year
Dividends declared,
= $60,000
Now,
The preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]Preferred \ stock\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]400000\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]24,000[/tex] ($)
Arrears in preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]24000-20000[/tex]
= [tex]4000[/tex] ($)
For preferred stock, the total dividends arrears will be,
= [tex]4000\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]8000[/tex] ($)
hence,
The dividends which are received by the common stock holders will be:
= [tex]Dividends \ declared-Preferred \ dividend-Arrears \ in \ preferred \ dividend[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]60000-24000-8000[/tex]
= [tex]28000[/tex]
JKL has 3 million shares of common stock outstanding and 80,000 bonds outstanding. The bonds pay semi-annual coupons at an annual rate of 9.05%, have 6 years to maturity and a face value of $1,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $30 a share and has a beta of 1. The bonds sell for 94% of face value and have a 10.42% yield to maturity. The market risk premium is 5.5%, T-bills are yielding 5% and the tax rate is 30%. What is the firm's capital structure weight for equity
Answer:
54.48%
Explanation:
The computation of the weight of equity is given below;
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Total Equity
= 3 million shares × $30
= $90 million
The Value of Debt,
Total Debt = 80,000 (1,000)(0.94)
= $75.2 million
Now the weight of equity is
= $90 million ÷ ($90 million + $75.2 million)
= 54.48%
a. Calculate the expected return for each of the stocks. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate the standard deviation for each of the stocks. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the covariance between the returns of the two stocks
Answer:
Note: Question is incomplete but full question is attached as picture below
a) Expected return = Probability of recession*Return during recession + Probability of normal*Return during normal + Probability of boom*Return during boom
Expected return for stock A = 0.21*0.04 +0.61*0.12 + 0.18*0.30
Expected return for stock A = 0.1356
Expected return for stock A = 13.56%
Expected return for stock B = 0.21*-0.41 + 0.61*0.31 + 0.18*0.54
Expected return for stock B = 0.2002
Expected return for stock B = 20.02%
b) Standard deviation of stock = √{Probability(Recession)*(Rate during recession - expected rate )^2 + Probability(Normal)(Rate during normal - expected return)^2 + Probability(Boom)*(Rate in boom - Expected return)^2}
Standard deviation of stock A = √[(0.21*(0.04-0.1356)^2 + 0.61*(0.12 - 0.1356)^2 + 0.18*(0.30-0.1356)^2)^0.5]
Standard deviation of stock A = 0.0832
Standard deviation of stock A = 8.32
Standard deviation of stock B = √(0.21*(-0.41-0.2002)^2 + 0.61*(0.31 - 0.2002)^2 + 0.18*(0.54-0.2002)^2)^0.5]
Standard deviation of stock B = 0.3260
Standard deviation of stock B = 32.60%
Sergey bought two shares of a stock at $22 each in early January 2018. At the end of a year he earned $2 dividend on each one. By year-end 2018 the price had risen to $22.50. In early January (after the holidays) he bought another share at that price. At year-end 2019 the price was $22.80 and the dividend of $2 a share was again paid out. What was the dollar weighted return on his investment?
Answer: 10.79%
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the return in year 1 will be:
= (22.5 + 2)/21 - 1
= 1.1136 - 1
= 0.1136
= 11.36%
The return in year 2 will be:
= (22.8 + 2)/22.5 - 1
= 1.1022 - 1
= 0.1022
= 10.22%
Therefore weighted return will be:
= (11.36% + 10.22%)/2
= 21.58%/2
= 10.79%

The comparative balance sheets of Greenvale Games, Inc. show a net decrease in unexpired insurance of $400 and a net decrease in interest payable of $250. In order to reconcile net income with net cash flow from operating activities, net income should be:
Answer:
$150 increase
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Decrease in unexpired insurance = $400
Decrease in interest payable = $250
So, we can calculate the net income to reconcile by using following formula,
Net income = Decrease in unexpired insurance - Decrease in interest payable
= $400 - $250
= $150 ( Positive means increase)
So, net income should be increased by $150.
For the month of June, Beeman Corp. estimated sales revenue at $600,000. Beeman pays sales commissions that are 4% of sales revenue. The sales manager's salary is $285,000. Additional estimated selling expenses that total 1% of sales revenue Miscellaneous selling expenses are $15,000. How much are budgeted selling expenses for the month of July, if Beeman estimates sales revenues to be $540,000
Answer: $327000
Explanation:
The budgeted selling expenses for the month of July, if Beeman estimates sales revenues to be $540,000 will be:
Sales Commission = $540000 × 4% = $21600
Add: Sales Manager Salary = $285,000
Add: Additional Selling Expense = $540000 × 1% = $5,400
Add: Miscellaneous Selling Expense = $15,000
Therefore, Buedgeted Selling Expense = $327000

A manufacturing company can make 100 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $120,000 Direct Labor 25,000 Variable Overhead 45,000 Fixed Overhead 20,000 If the manufacturing company can purchase the component externally for $190,000 and $5,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the relevant cost to make will be:
Direct Materials = $120,000
Add: Direct Labor = $25,000
Add: Variable Overhead = $45,000
Add: Fixed Overhead = $5,000
Relevant cost to make = $195,000
The relevant cost to buy is $190,000.
Therefore, the cost to buy is less as there'll be a net operating Income increase of $5000.
Midwest Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for 2020: Two jobs were worked on during the year: Job A-101 and Job A-102. The number of direct labor-hours spent on Job A-101 and Job A-102 were 1,360 and 4,200, respectively. The actual manufacturing overhead was $72,200. What is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year
Answer:
$16.00
Explanation:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
therefore,
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $32,320 ÷ 2,020
= $16.00
Applied overheads = Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate x Actual activity
therefore,
Applied overheads = $16.00 x 2,410 = $38,560
Conclusion :
Under-applied overheads = $72,200 - $38,560
= $33,640
the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year is $16.00

Required:
What is the value of the stock today?
Answer:
$52.75
Explanation:
the discount rate for this question was not provided. the discount rate used is 10%
Value of the stock in year 1 and 2 = 0
value of the stock in year 3 = $1.25
value of the stock in year 4 = ($1.25 x 1.22) / 1.10^4 = $1.04
value of the stock in year 5 = ($1.25 x 1.22^2) / 1.10^5 = $1.16
value of the stock in perpetuality = ($1.25 x 1.22^2 x 1.06) / (0.1 - 0.06) = $49.30
Value of the stock today = $49.30 + $1.16 + $1.04 + $1.25 = $52.75
In X1, Adam and Jason formed ABC, LLC, a car dealership in Kansas City. In X2, Adam and Jason realized they needed an advertising expert to assist in their business. Thus, the two members offered Cory, a marketing expert, a one-third capital interest in their partnership for contributing his expert services. Cory agreed to this arrangement and received his capital interest in X2. If the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 when Cory receives his one-third capital interest, which of the following tax consequences does not occur in X2?A. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.C. Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.D. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2, and Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.
Answer: B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, since the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 after Cory receives his one-third capital interest, Cory will report (⅓ × $180000) = $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.
Also, Adam and Jason will receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2. The sentence that "Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2" is wrong. They do not get sane amount as Cory gets a higher amount.
A worker who loses a job at a call center because business firms switch the call center to another country is an example of which type of unemployment?
Answer:
"Structural unemployment" is the right approach.
Explanation:
The terminology economists mischaracterize unemployment, which seems to be the consequences of such an absence or failure of coordination of talents as well as of opportunities, is defined as Structural unemployment.This would be caused by economic shifts that prevent jobless persons from finding opportunities throughout different firms with very high qualifications.12-3. (Break-even point and selling price) Simple Metal Works, Inc. will manufacture and sell 300,000 units next year. Fixed costs will total $350,000, and variable costs will be 65 percent of sales. The firm wants to achieve a level of earnings before interest and taxes of $250,000. What selling price per unit is necessary to achieve this result
Answer:
Selling price= $5.08
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 300,000
Fixed costs= $350,000
Desired profit= $250,000
Variable cost rate= 0.65
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin using the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
300,000 = (350,000 + 250,000) / contribution margin per unit
300,000 contribution margin per unit = 600,000
contribution margin per unit= 600,000/300,000
contribution margin per unit= $2
If the variable cost rate is 0.65, then:
Unitary varaible cost= 2/0.65= $3.08
Selling price= contribution margin per unit - unitary varaible cost
Selling price= 2 - (-3.08)
Selling price= $5.08
Consider the two countries of Swala and Atlantis. Swala is a major producer of wheat and rice while Atlantis specializes in the production of marble and automobile parts. Engaging in free trade benefits both countries since Swala is an agrarian nation and Atlantis lacks arable land. This follows the theory of comparative advantage, and we can say that engaging in free trade benefits all countries that participate in it; however, this conclusion is based on which inaccurate assumptions?
a. We have assumed a simple world in which there are only two countries.
b. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic.
c. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country.
d. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing fertilizers.
e. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.
The steady growth line best supports which conclusion about the economy
represented in the graph?
A.The economy as a whole continues to grow between each
business cycle.
O B. The economy is weak and will likely enter a depression in the next
business cycle.
C. The economy has more pronounced peaks than valleys in each
business cycle.
D. The economy does not show a consistent pattern in its business
cycles.
Answer:
A.The economy as a whole continues to grow between each business cycle.
Explanation:
The steady growth line best supports the conclusion about the economy
represented in the graph is that "The economy as a whole continues to grow between each business cycle."
The above statement is true because the production output of the firm continues to rise with time. As time goes on in the business cycle of the firm, the firm continues to grow, which is evident in the increase in the level of production.
6. GAMA Corp. and FAMA Corp. have the same tax rate, sales, total assets, and basic earning power. Both companies have positive net incomes. GAMA Corp. has a higher debt to asset ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio. b. GAMA Corp.has more net income. c. GAMA Corp.pays more in taxes. d. GAMA Corp. has a lower ROE.
Answer: GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio simply means how the ability of a company to meet its debt obligations is being measured based on the current income that the company has.
Since GAMA Corp. has a higher debt to asset ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense, it simply means that GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio when compared to FAMA Corp.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
The 2745 people residing in the state of Oz want their yellow brick road repaved. It could be repaved with standard asphalt for a cost of $427957 or with shimmering gold asphalt for $5752665 . The senator that represents Oz in the national legislature argues that the yellow brick road is a national treasure and a tourist attraction. As such, the senator argues that the nation of 4801565 people should pay for the repaving. Round your answer to two decimals for all of the following questions.
Required:
a. What is the cost per person if the national government pays for gold asphalt?
b. What is the cost per person if the state of Oz pays for gold asphalt?
c. What is the cost per person if the state of Oz pays for standard asphalt?
Answer:
a. Cost per person = $1.20 per person
b. Cost per person = $2,095.69 per person
c. Cost per person = $155.90 per person
Explanation:
a. What is the cost per person if the national government pays for gold asphalt?
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost per person = Cost of gold asphalt / Total population of the nation = $5752665 / 4801565 = $1.20 per person
b. What is the cost per person if the state of Oz pays for gold asphalt?
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost per person = Cost of gold asphalt / Total population of the state of Oz = $5752665 / 2745 = $2,095.69 per person
c. What is the cost per person if the state of Oz pays for standard asphalt?
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost per person = Cost of standard asphalt / Total population of the state of Oz = $427957 / 2745 = $155.90 per person
