Bonita Industries received $108000 in cash and a used computer with a fair value of $384000 from Carla Vista Co. for Bonita Industries's existing computer having a fair value of $492000 and an undepreciated cost of $461700 recorded on its books. The transaction has no commercial substance. How much gain should Bonita recognize on this exchange, and at what amount should the acquired computer be recorded, respectively
Answer:
$30,300 and $384,000
Explanation:
The computation of the gain and the amount should acquired is shown below;
The gain is
= Fair value - undepreciable cost
= $492,000 - $461,700
= $30,300
And, the amount at which the computed should be recorded is equivalent to the fair value i..e $384,000

A firm has total debt of $5,900 and a debt-equity ratio of 0.57. What is the value of the total assets?
A. $6,128.05.
B. $7,253.40.
C. $9,571.95.
D. $11,034.00.
E. $13,358.77.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we need to calculate first the total equity.
Total equity = Total debt / (Debt - Equity ratio)
Total equity = $5,900 / 0.57
Total equity = $10,350.877
Now,
Total assets = Total debt + Total equity
Total assets = $5,900 + $10,350.88
Total assets = $16,250.88
Therefore the value of the total assets are $16,250.88
It is important when regulating a market with a natural monopoly to maintain on going business incentives for the firm involved. A cost-plus approach to regulating a market does not provide this. What would a benefit to not utilizing a cost plus approach to regulation be
Answer:
The natural monopoly will have incentives for efficiency and innovation
Explanation:
Monopoly my be defined as taking or having an excessive control or charge over the trade of a particular commodity or product or the control over the supply of a particular product on the market by one particular group or person.
In the context, the cost-plus approach requires the monopoly in order to change the price which includes normal return to the average cost. So the monopolist does not have any incentive for innovating efficient technology so as to reduce its cost. Thus we can promote innovation and efficiency by not using the cost plus policy.
Nick's Marine Company (NMC) currently has a stock price per share of $38. If NMC's cost of equity capital (the discount rate for equity) is 15.2% and capital gains rate (gain/loss in prices relative to today's price) for the next year is expected to be 11.4%, the dividend in the upcoming year (t = 1) should be?
Answer:
$ 1.44
Explanation:
Given :
The stock price of 1 share = $ 38
The cost of equity capital, r = 15.2%
The capital gains rate for the next year, g = $ 11.4
Therefore, as per the dividend discount model,
The price per share = [tex]$\frac{D}{r-g}$[/tex]
[tex]$\$ 38=\frac{D}{(0.152-0.114)}$[/tex]
[tex]$\$ 38=\frac{D}{0.038}$[/tex]
D = 38 x 0.038
= 1.44
Therefore, the dividend = $ 1.44
Gordon Company reports the following information at the current fiscal year end of December 31: Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share $98,000 Additional Paid-in Capital , Common Stock 600,000 Retained Earnings 900,000 Total Stockholders' Equity $1,598,000 What was the average selling price for the common stock issued (rounded to the nearest cent)
Answer:
$0.71
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What was the average selling price for the common stock issued
Using this formula
Common stock issued avarage selling price=
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par-Common÷Common Stock par value per share
Let plug in the formula
Common stock issued avarage selling price=($600,000+$98,000)/($98,000÷$0.10)
Common stock issued avarage selling price=$698,000/$980,000
Common stock issued avarage selling price=$0.71
Therefore the average selling price for the common stock issued is $0.71
Being Human, Inc., recently issued new securities to finance a new TV show. The project cost $14.5 million, and the company paid $775,000 in flotation costs. In addition, the equity issued had a flotation cost of 7.5 percent of the amount raised, whereas the debt issued had a flotation cost of 3.5 percent of the amount raised. If the company issued new securities in the same proportion as its target capital structure, what is the company’s target debt-equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer: 1.54
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the company’s target debt-equity ratio will be:
The total costs will be:
= $14.5 million + $775000
= $15.275 million
Since amount needed = amount raised × (1-fT)
Therefore, 15.275 × (1-f) = 14.5
15.275 - 15.275f = 14.5
f = floatation costs = 5.074%
Therefore, 5.074% × (1 + D/E) = 7.5% + (D/E) × 3.5%
Solving for debt-equity ratio, the value will be = 1.54

On January 1, 2021, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $30,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $2,000. The company expects the equipment to operate for 10,000 hours. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following depreciation meth- ods: (1) straight line, (2) double-declining balance, and (3) units-of-production using hours operated. The equip- ment operated for 2,200 and 3,000 hours in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Answer:
1.
$7000
$7000
2.
$15,000
7500
3.
6160
8400
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(30,000 - 2000) / 4= $7000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
2/4 x 30,000 = $15000
book value in year 2 = 15,000
2/4 x 15000 = 7500
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
2200 / 10,000 x (30,000 - 2000)
3000 / 10,000 x (30,000 - 2000)
GenX has a target capital structure of 40 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 55 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 22 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 8.5 percent, and the pre-tax cost of debt is 8 percent. What is the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent
Answer:
12.085 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)
= 5.20 %
therefore,
WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55
= 12.085 %
thus
the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %

Explanation:
Golden Eye Co., a hi-tech satellite company, has asked you to value the company for possible cross-listing in the U.S. The company has estimated revenues, earnings before interest and taxes, change in net working capital, and Net Capital spending (defined as Capital spending – depreciation) for the next three years (see Exhibit 1 below.) The free cash flow in year 4 is estimated to be $250 million and is expected to grow at 4% forever. The tax rate is 36%. The company’s unlevered cost of capital is 16.43%. Golden Eye Co. has just borrowed $1 billion of long-term debt at 9% interest rate. It will repay $200 million per year in the first three years, and then will maintain the debt at $400 million forever. What is the value of the firm?
Exhibit 1:
Year T=1 T=2 T=3
Revenues 6,619 7,417 8,564
EBIT 540 680 750
Net Capital spending 150 170 190
Change in NWC 70 75 80
Answer:
Explanation:
Let's first determine the free cash flow of the firm
Particulars Years
1 2 3
EBIT 540 680 750
Tax at 36% (0.36*540) (0.36*680) (0.36*750)

Zonk Company needs to raise $47.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $27.90 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 6 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $650,000. How many shares need to be sold?
Answer:
Zonk Company
The number of shares that needs to be sold is:
= 1,842,569 shares.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount needed to fund a new project = $47,500,000
Selling price per share = $27.90
Proceed per share after underwriter's spread = $26.132 ($27.80 * (1 - 0.06)
Underwriters spread per share = 6% * $27.80 = $1.668
Direct flotation costs = $650,000
Number of shares to float = ($47,500,000 + $650,000)/$26.132
= 1,842,569 shares
Expanded Proof:
Proceeds from share issue = $51,223,418 (1,842,569 * $27.80)
less underwriter's spread = 3,073,405 (1,842,569 * $1.668)
Net proceeds before flotation $48,150,013
less direct flotation costs = 650,000
Funds raised = $47,500,013

c) $93,000.
d) $36,954.
e) $600,000.
Answer:
a) $56,054.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the total office expenses that should be allocated to Grinding for the current period is shown below:
= Salaries + Depreciation + Advertising
= (31,000 ÷ 2700) × 1620 + (20,500 ÷ 204,000) × 127,500 + (41,500 ÷ 804,000) × 477,375

approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A manufacturer believes that the cost function : [tex]$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$[/tex] approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?
Solution :
Given the cost function is :
[tex]$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$[/tex]
Now, Marginal cost = [tex]$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$[/tex]
So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.
Therefore, we have to equate : [tex]$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$[/tex]
[tex]$5x + 120 = 210$[/tex]
[tex]$5x=210-120$[/tex]
[tex]$5x=90$[/tex]
[tex]$x=45$[/tex]
So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5
Therefore, the manufacturer [tex]$\text{can make up}$[/tex] to 45 units and [tex]$\text{still makes a profit.}$[/tex] This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5
Identify the type of adjustment that would most likely be needed. Business B purchased a piece of equipment to be used in operations for $5,000 during the middle of October. Today is December 31st, the end of the 4th quarter and financial reports are being produced. g
Answer: c . Depreciation
Explanation:
When accounting for fixed assets, it is important that they are recorded at their book value to reflect the effects of being utilized. This means that depreciation needs to be charged on fixed assets.

What is the basic purpose of the consumer price index (CPI)? A. to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers B. to track consumer spending on thousands of goods and services C. to predict future price increases for representative goods and services D. to predict and avoid deflation, or a decline in the general level of prices
Answer:
A). to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers.
Explanation:
CPI(Consumer Price Index) is characterized as 'a statistical estimate of the price level of goods and services bought by consumers for consumption purposes by the households.' It primarily aims to estimate the change or swap in the prices of the weighted average price of the common basket(consumption goods, as well as, services that the consumers pay for). It is calculated using the formula;
[tex]CPI_{t} = \frac{C_{t} }{C_{0} } * 100[/tex]
where,
[tex]CPI_{t}[/tex] = current Consumer Price Index
[tex]C_{t}[/tex] = Current price basket
[tex]C_{0}[/tex] = Cost of price basket in the base year
It assists in deducing whether the average prices have received a fall or rise and determines inflation or deflation. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Hillary considers herself a shrewd commodities investor. She bought a May cotton contract (50,000 pounds) at a pound, and later sold it at a pound. What were her profit and her return on invested capital if her initial margin was and the size of a cotton futures contract is 50,000 pounds of cotton?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the profit will be calculated as:
Profit = (Selling price - Buying Price) × Size
= ($0.6485 - $0.6264)*50,000
= $0.0221 × 5000
= $1,105
Then, the return on the invested capital will be:
= Profit/Initial Margin
= 1105/1060
= 1.0425
= 104.25%

Last coupon payment was made on March 31, Accrued Interest = Face value * Days since last payment * Interest rate / Days in current coupon period
Accrued Interest = Face value * Days since last payment * Interest rate / Days in current coupon period
Accrued Interest = $100 * (May 15-March 31) * 8.25% / (2*(September 30-March 31))
Accrued Interest = $100*45*8.25% / (2*180)
Accrued Interest = $1.03
Invoice Value = Flate price + Accrued Interest
Invoice Value = $96.50 + $1.03
Invoice Value = $97.53
