Argent Corporation has $60 million in current liabilities, $150 million in total liabilities, and $210 million in total common equity; Argent has no preferred stock. Argent’s total debt is $120 million. What is the debt-to-assets ratio? What is the debt-to-equity ratio?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
Debt to asset ratio is
= Total debt ÷ total asset
= $120 million ÷ ($150 million + $210 million)
= $120 million ÷ $360 million
= 0.33
And, the debt to equity ratio is
= Total debt ÷ total equity
= $120 million ÷ $210 million
= 0.57

And, the same is to be considered
Sundown LLC makes patio heating lamps. Their factory in Topeka has 800 in stock, the factory in Dallas has 700, while the warehouse in Memphis needs 500, and the warehouse in Austin needs 650. It costs $12 to ship each lamp from Topeka to Memphis, $20 for Topeka to Austin, $15 from Dallas to Memphis, and $22 from Dallas to Austin. What is the most economical way to minimize its shipping costs and meet the demands of the two warehouses
Answer:
500T1 + 300T2 + 350D2 = $19,700
500 units shipped from Topeka to Memphis300 units shipped from Topeka to Austin350 units shipped from Dallas to AustinExplanation:

Joseph just received an inheritance of $35,775 from his great aunt. He plans to invest the funds for retirement. If Joseph can earn 4.75% per year with quarterly compounding for 32 years, how much will he have accumulated?
a. $237,416.b. $71,550.c. $184,622.d. $162,113.
Answer:
FV= $162,113.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $35,775
Interest rate= 0.0475/4= 0.011875
Number of periods= 32*4= 128
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 35,775*(1.011875^128)
FV= $162,113.25
You are a business owner of a firm that services trucks. A customer would like to rent a truck from you for one week, while you service his truck. You must decide whether or not to rent him a truck. You have an extra truck that you will not use for any other purpose during this week. This truck is leased for a full year from another company for $300/ week plus $.50 for every mile driven. You also have paid an annual insurance premium, which costs $50/ week to insure the truck. The truck has a full 100-gallon fuel tank. The customer has offered you $600 to rent the truck for a week. The price includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes up to 500 miles of driving. The customer will pay $.50 for each additional mile that he drives above the 500 miles. You anticipate that the customer will bring back the truck with an empty fuel tank and will have driven more than 500 miles. You sell fuel to truckers at a retail price $4.00/gallon. Any fuel you sell or use can be replaced at a wholesale price of $3.25/gallon. The customer will rent a truck from another company if you do not accept the proposed deal. In either case, you will service his truck. You know the customer and are confident that he will pay all charges incurred under the agreement.
1. Should you accept or reject the proposed deal? Why, or why not? Show calculations.
2. Would your answer change if your fuel supplier limited the amount of fuel that you could purchase from him at the wholesale price? Explain.
Explanation:Given data:
Yearly lease from the company = $300/weekly +$.50 for every driven mile.
Annual insurance = $50/weekly.
Customer offer = $600 for a week ( 100 gallons of fuel in the truck inclusive).
Customer pays and additional $.50 for mile driven above 500.
Solution:
Cost of fuel in the truck
= 100 * $3.25
= $325.
Insurance cost = $50.
Total cost = $375.
Customer offer – total cost
= $600 – $375.
= $225.
1.The proposal should be accepted because even after deductions of the cost of running the truck, you are still left with $225 which doesn’t include the cost the customer would incite for driving above 500 miles.
2.No, as that would only have a little effect on the cost of running the truck. So my answer would still be same.

Smith and Jones start a business to build custom bicycles. Smith invests personal funds of $100,000 and Jones invests $70,000. Grandma Smith loans the company $24,000 with the provision it is to be paid back in 12 equal monthly payments plus 1.5% monthly interest on her original contribution. Smith and Jones agreed that ownership would be proportional to their equity investments. In addition, they borrow $40,000 from the bank at interest of 1.5% per month payable monthly. (They do not have to pay back the principal for five years, so ignore it.) They buy $120,000 worth of parts. They use $80,000 of those parts in the first month. They pay factory workers a total of $15,000 for the first month. They pay rent of $4,000 for the month for a factory. They each (not Grandma) draw salaries of $4,000 per month. They sell the resulting bicycles for $150,000. a. Prepare a balance sheet for day zero, that is, store is ready, people hired, parts on hand, money collected from bank, Grandma, Smith, and Jones. b. Prepare an income statement for the first month. c. Prepare a balance sheet for the last day of the first month. d. What is the percent ownership by Smith, Jones, and Grandma on the first day of the month.
Answer:
See answers below.
Explanation:
Question a
The balance sheet for day 0 will have the following balances.
Asset side
Parts $120,000
Cash $114,000
Total assets $234,000
Liabilities and Equity side
Capital $170,000
Short term loan $24,000
Long term loan $40,000
Total liabilities $234,000
Question b
The income statement for the first month will have the following balances.
Revenue (credit) side
Sales $150,000
Expenses (debit) side
Parts used $80,000
wages to factory workers $15,000
rent $4,000
salary $8,000
Interest on grandma's loan $360
Interest on bank loan $600.
Profit for the month $42,040.
Question c
The balance sheet for the last day of the month will have the following balances.
Asset side
Parts $40,000
Cash $234,040
Total assets $274,040
Liabilities and Equity side
Capital $170,000
Profit (added to reserves) $42,040
Short term loan $22,000
Long term loan $40,000
Total liabilities $274,040
Question d
Grandma is not an equity owner since she will be repaid after 1 year.
Therefore, percentage ownership by Smith, Jones and Grandma will be as follows in the ratio of their equity contribution.
Total capital contributed = 100,000 + 70,000 = 170,000
Smith percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{100,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 58.8%
Jones percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{70,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 41.2%
Grandma's ownership = 0% (no equity contribution).

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger (currently $28/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead (currently $73/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates (currently $9/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio earn? c. If you don't buy or sell any shares after the price change, what are your new portfolio weights?
Answer:
a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24
Number of shares of GoldFinger = 10166.6667
Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73
Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685
Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9
Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9
Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667
New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6
New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002
New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578
b. The return that the portfolio earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%
c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578
= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578
= 0.7734
= 77.34%
Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578
= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578
= 0.15587
= 15.59%
Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%
= 7.07%

Westbank Real Estate, Inc. owns 10 acres of forested land. Westbank wants the land cleared in order to build houses. Westbank emails a signed electronic memorandum to a representative of Hardell Lumber Co. offering to sell the mature trees and rich topsoil to Hardell for lumber and agricultural purposes. The electronic memorandum includes the parties' typed names, the consideration, the price, and a description of the property, lumber, and soil. Hardell replies via email to Westbank that it accepts Westbank's terms, electronically signs the memorandum, and will start removing the trees and soil next month. Before Hardell can begin clearing the land, Westbank changes its mind, wants to keep the land forested, and prevents Hardell from accessing the property claiming no contract has been formed.

Joint Cost Allocation—Net Realizable Value Method Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard.
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.

A stock just paid a dividend of $4.01 and is expected to maintain a constant dividend growth rate of 4.7 percent indefinitely. If the current stock price is $66, what is the required return on the stock?
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the required return on the stock is shown below:-
Required rate of return = Current Dividend × (1 + growth) ÷ Current Price + Growth
= $4.01 × (1 + 4.7%) ÷ 66 + 4.7%
= 11.06%
Therefore for computing the required rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
Suppose you purchase a ten-year bond with annual coupons.You hold the bond for four years and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond's yield to maturity was when you purchased and sold the bond, a. What cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per face value? b. What is the internal rate of return of your investment?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Full question is "Suppose you purchase a 10-year bond with 6% annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years, and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond’s yield to maturity was 5% when you purchased and sold the bond, what cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per $100 face value?"
Face Value = $100
YTM = 5%
Annual Coupon = 6% * $100 = $6
Purchase Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 10) + $100*PVIF(5%, 10)
Purchase Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^10)/0.05 + 100/1.05^10
Purchase Price = $107.72
Selling Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 6) + $100*PVIF(5%, 6)
Selling Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^6)/0.05 + 100/1.05^6
Selling Price = $105.08
Cash Outflow at Year 0 = $107.72
Cash Inflow at Year 1 = $6
Cash Inflow at Year 2 = $6
Cash Inflow at Year 3 = $6
Cash Inflow at Year 4 = $6 + $105.08 = $111.08
B. The internal rate of return of your investment = 5.001% (Find attach the calculation)
Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2018. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2018 and 2019.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $45,000
Useful life= 5 years
Salvage value= $10,000
To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2018:
Annual depreciation= 2[(45,000 - 10,000) / 5]
Annual depreciation= 14,000
2019:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(35,000 - 14,000)/5]
Annual depreciation= $8,400
The depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method in 2018 is $18,000 and in 2019 is $10,800.
The double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method when compared with other deprecation methods.
Depreciation expense = (2 x cost of the asset) / useful life of the asset
Deprecation expense in 2018
(2 x $45,000) / 5 = $18,000
Deprecation expense in 2019
Book value in 2019 = cost of the asset - deprecation expense
$45,000 - $18,000 = $27,000
Deprecation expense = (2 x $27,000) / 5 = $10,800

Answer:
$$7,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts
Using this formula
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance =
Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense
Let plug in the formula
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000
Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000

Tuition of $3400 is due when the spring term begins, in 4 months. What amount should a student deposit today, at 12%, to have enough to pay tuition
Answer: The student should deposit= $3,272.40
Explanation:
The formula we need to use is
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
where:
F V = the future value.
P = the principal amount.
r= the rate of interest. = `12%= 0.12
t= time in years. = 4/12= 1/3 =O.3333
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.12 X 0.3333)
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.039)
$3,400 = P (1.039)
P= 3400 /1.039= $3,272.40

Compute Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio if its common stock has a market value of $29.04 per share and its EPS is $4.80. Considering Lower deck, its key competitor, has a PE ratio of 9.5, which company does the market have higher expectations of future performance?
Answer:
Since the Lower deck's price-earnings ratio of 9.5 is higher than Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio of 6.05, the market therefore have higher expectations of future performance of Lower deck.
Explanation:
Price-earnings ratio refers to the ratio of the market price per share (MPS) to the earning per share (EPS) of a company.
Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio can therefore, be computed using the following formula:
Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = MPS / EPS ........... (1)
Where;
MPS = Common stock market value = $29.04
EPS = $4.80
Substituting into equation (1), we have:
Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = $29.04 / $4.80 = 6.05
It should be noted that companies that have a high Price Earnings Ratio are usually referred as growth stocks. The implication of this is that there is a positive future performance which makes investors to have higher expectations for future earnings growth. As a result, the investors are ready to pay more for the stock of the firms.
Since the Lower deck's price-earnings ratio of 9.5 is higher than Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio of 6.05, the market therefore have higher expectations of future performance of Lower deck.
Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio is 6.05.
The company that has a higher expectations of future performance is Lower deck.
PE ratio is known as the price per earnings ratio. It the ratio of the price of the shares of a company to its earnings per share. The higher the PE ratio, the higher the prospects of higher future performance.
Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = $29.04 / $4.80 = 6.05
Lower deck has a higher PE ratio compared with Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio, so it has a higher expectations of future performance.

d- Non-current deferred tax liability
Answer:
Newsmax Inc.
In the absence of other temporary differences, in the balance sheet one would also expect to find a:
a- Current deferred tax asset
Explanation:
When Newsmax Inc. received the subscriptions of $400,000 in advance, a deferred tax asset will arise on its balance sheet. This deferred tax asset results from the overpayment or advance payment of taxes on the $400,000 taxed because cash has been received, although, the associated costs have not been recorded. Deferred tax asset is the opposite of a deferred tax liability as the latter represents income taxes owed to the IRS, which will be settled in the coming period(s).
D0 is currently $3.00, Ke is 8 percent, and g is 5 percent. Under Plan A, D0 would be immediately increased to $3.40 and Ke and g will remain unchanged. Under Plan B, D0 will remain at $3.00 but g will go up to 6 percent and Ke will remain unchanged. a. Compute P0 (price of the stock today) under Plan A. Note D1 will be equal to D0 × (1 + g) or $3.40 (1.05). Ke will equal 8 percent, and g will equal 5 percent. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a.
P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05) / (0.08 - 0.05)
P0 = $119
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
Do is dividend today g is the growth rate r is the required rate of returna.
P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05) / (0.08 - 0.05)
P0 = $119
