Explanation:
Journal entries initially record transactions on a day-to-day basis. From the journal, the transactions are posted to the ledger accounts (e.g. T-accounts) and a trial balance is extracted to check if the two sides are in agreement. At the end of the accounting period, adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal to ensure that accounts are based on the accrual concept and not on cash basis.
Fortune Enterprises is an all-equity firm that is considering issuing $13.5 million of perpetual debt. The interest rate is 10%. The firm will use the proceeds of the bond sale to repurchase equity. Fortune distributes all earnings available to stockholders immediately as dividends. The firm will generate $3 million of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) every year into perpetuity. Fortune is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%. Suppose the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, and the personal tax rate on equity income is 20%.
What is the annual after-tax cash flow to debt holders under each plan in Q7?
A. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 1.2 mil. under the levered plan
B. Debt holders get $1.2 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
C. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
D. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Answer:
D. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Explanation:
interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000
generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).
under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.
under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500
An estimated demand curve does not necessarily match actual data perfectly because A. it is not possible to accurately calculate the coefficients of the curve. B. demand is unpredictable. C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve. D. the random error term has too large of a range.
Answer:
C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve.
Explanation:
a lot of unforeseen circumstances might occur. these occurrences would not be measured in the estimated demand curve. this would lead to the estimated demand curve not matching the actual demand curve.
for example, the factors affecting the demand for bread are ; price, income, price of a substitutes. these are included in estimating the demand curve for bread. Assume that a study comes out stating that bread is harmful to the health.this reduces the demand for bread. this study wasn't anticipated and included in estimating the demand curve. as a result, the actual data would differ from the estimated data
You decide to borrow $100,000 at the riskless interest rate, and you then invest all $300,000 ($200,000 of your own cash and the $100,000 borrowed cash) in the market index fund. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of this investment portfolio
You have $200,000 of cash. The riskless interest rate is 3%. The market index fund has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 20%
You decide to borrow $100,000 at the riskless interest rate, and you then invest all $300,000 ($200,000 of your own cash and the $100,000 borrowed cash) in the market index fund. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of this investment portfolio
Answer:
The expected return of this portfolio = 13.50%
standard deviation of this portfolio = 30.00%
Explanation:
From the information given:
The percentage of riskless = -100000/200000
The percentage of riskless = -0.50%
Now; the investment in market index = 1.50%
The expected return of this portfolio = 1.50 × 10% + ( - 0.5 ×3 %)
The expected return of this portfolio = 1.50 × 0.1 - 0.5 × 0.03
The expected return of this portfolio = 0.15 - 0.015
The expected return of this portfolio = 0.135
The expected return of this portfolio = 13.50%
standard deviation of this portfolio = the investment in market index × market index standard deviation
standard deviation of this portfolio = 1.50 × 20%
standard deviation of this portfolio = 30.00%
BPO Services is in the business of digitizing information from forms that are filled out by hand. In 2006, a big client gave BPO a distribution of the forms that it digitized in house last year, and BPO estimated how much it would cost to digitize each form. Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost A 0.5 $3.75 B 0.5 $1.25 The expected cost of digitizing a form is $ . Suppose the client and BPO agree to a deal, whereby the client pays BPO to digitize forms. The price of each form processed is equal to the expected cost of the form that you calculated in the previous part of the problem. Suppose that after the agreement, the client sends only forms of type A. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is $ . This leads to an expected loss of $ per form for BPO. (Hint: Do not round your answers. Enter the loss as a positive number.)
Answer:
BPO Servicesa. The expected cost of digitizing a form is $2.50
b. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is $3.75, without a mix of forms.
c. This leads to an expected loss of $1.25 per form for BPO.
Explanation:
1. Data:
Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost
A 0.5 $3.75
B 0.5 $1.25
b. Calculation of Expected Cost of digitizing a form:
Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost Expected Cost
A 0.5 $3.75 $1.875 (0.5 * $3.75)
B 0.5 $1.25 $0.625 (0.5 * $1.25)
Total expected costs $2.50
c. Calculation of Expected cost of Form actually sent by Client without a mix of forms:
A 01 $3.75 $3.75 (1 * $3.75)
Total expected costs $3.75
d. Calculation of Expected Loss:
Expected Price = $2.50
Expected cost = $3.75
Expected loss = $1.25
e. The expected value (cost, price, or gain or loss) from the form digitization is the sum of all possible values from the mix of forms, each multiplied by the probability of its occurrence.

A purchase of land in exchange for a long-term note payable is reported in the investing section of the statement of cash flows.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Peyton sells an office building and the associated land on May 1 of the current year. Under the terms of the sales contract, Peyton is to receive $1,763,800 in cash. The purchaser is to assume Peyton's mortgage of $1,058,280 on the property. To enable the purchaser to obtain adequate financing, Peyton is to pay the $105,828 in points charged by the lender. The broker's commission on the sale is $70,552. What is Peyton's amount realized? The amount realized by Peyton is $ .
Answer:
$2,645,700
Explanation:
realized amount = cash received + assumed mortgage - points paid by seller - broker's commission = $1,763,800 + $1,058,280 - $105,828 - $70,552 = $2,645,700
The amount realized includes all the money received and any debts assumed by the buyer, minus any expenses paid by the seller that are related to the transaction.
You have just turned 40 years old and are trying to decide who much money to put into your retirement plan. The plan works as follows: Every dollar in the plan earns 7% per year. You cannot make withdrawals until you retire on your sixty-fifth birthday. After that point, you can make withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to 95 and work until your turn 65. You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $250,000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your 95th birthday. You already have $200,000 in the retirement plan. You will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that you work, starting next year. How much do you need to contribute each year to fund your retirement
Answer:
$31,886.09
Explanation:
years until retirement = 65 - 40 = 25 years
interest earned 7%
retirement age 65
expected life span after retiring = 95 - 65 = 30 years
financial needs during retirement $250,000 per year
current account balance $200,000
we must first determine how much money you will need when you are 65:
present value = $250,000 x 12.409 (PV annuity, 30 years, 7%) = $3,102,250
your $200,000 will be worth $200,000 x (1 + 7%)²⁵ = $1,085,486.53 in 25 years
so you need $3,102,250 - $1,085,486.53 = $2,016,763.47 extra
using the FV formula for an annuity:
$2,016,763.47 = payment x 63.249 (FV annuity, 25 years, 7%)
payment = $2,016,763.47 / 63.249 = $31,886.09

"A technical analyst has identified a resistance level for ABC stock at $81 and a support level at $75. The stock is currently trading at $77 and the analyst expects the stock to break the resistance level. Which order is appropriate to profit if the resistance level is broken?"
Answer:
Buy 100 ABC at $82 Stop
Explanation:
In the financial markets a resistance is an upper limit block on the market moving upward (buy). While the support is the lower limit on the market moving down (sell).
In this scenario we have a support of $75, resistance of $81 and the stock.is currently trading at $77. Just below the resistance.
If the analyst expects the stock to break the resistance of $81 then he should set a trade that is a buy since the market will go above $81.
When the market breaks a resistance it is expected to sky rocket, so the analyst will set a trade stop at $82, so that when the market is coming back down to the resistance level it will stop before it gets to $81.
On the other hand if a support is expected to be broken a sell trade is placed.

In May direct labor was 35% of conversion cost. If the manufacturing overhead for the month was $116,350 and the direct materials cost was $20,200, the direct labor cost was:
Answer:
Direct labor= $62,650
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In May direct labor was 35% of conversion cost.
The manufacturing overhead for the month was $116,350.
The conversion costs are the sum of the direct labor and the manufacturing overhead:
Overhead= 65%= 116,350
Direct labor= 35%= ?
First, we need to determine the total amount of conversion costs:
Conversion costs= 116,350/0.65= 179,000
Now, the direct labor cost:
Direct labor= 179,000*0.35
Direct labor= $62,650

The tri-star company currently use an old lathe that was purchase 2 years ago at $6000. This machine is being depreciatin on a MACRS five year (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, 6%). The current market value for this machine is $3,000. The proposed new improved lathe cost $10,000 and additional installation fee of $1,000. The new lathe would require that inventories be increased by $800 and account receivable increase $600, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Tri-Star's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%. What is the initial investment of company when evaluating the replacement of old lathe by the new one?
Answer:
$8,736
Explanation:
initial investment = capital expenditures (machine's purchase cost + installation costs) + any increase in working capital - disposal of old machine
capital expenditures = $10,000 + $1,000 = $11,000
after tax salvage value = market value + taxes on disposal
the current book value of the old machine = $6,000 - $1,200 - $1,920 = $2,880
taxes on salvage value = (book value - market value) x tax rate = ($2,880 - $3,000) x 30% = -$36
after tax salvage value = $3,000 - $36 = $2,964
net working capital = current liabilities - current assets
change in working capital = $800 + $600 - $700 = $700
initial investment = $11,000 + $700 - $2,964 = $8,736
During the first month of operations ended August 31, Kodiak Fridgeration Company manufactured 80,000 mini refrigerators, of which 72,000 were sold. Operating data for the month are summarized as follows:
1 Sales $10,800,000.00
2 Manufacturing costs:
3 Direct materials $6,400,000.00
4 Direct labor 1,600,000.00
5 Variable manufacturing cost 1,280,000.00
6 Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000.00 9,600,000.00
7 Selling and administrative expenses:
8 Variable $1,080,000.00
9 Fixed 180,000.00 1,260,000.00
Required:
1. Prepare an income statement based on the absorption costing concept.*
2. Prepare an income statement based on the variable costing concept.*
3. Explain the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (1) and (2).
Answer:
1. Absorption Costing Income Statement
For the month ended May 31, 2016
Sales $10,800,000
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory -
Cost of goods manufactured $9,600,000
Ending Inventory $960,000
Cost of goods sold $8,640,000
Gross margin $2,160,000
Selling and administrative expenses
$1,080,000 + $180,000 $1,260,000
Income from operation $900,000
2. Variable Costing Income Statement
For the month ended May 31, 2016
Sales $10,800,000
Variable cost of goods sold
Beginning Inventory -
Variable cost of goods manufactured $9,280,000
Ending Inventory $928,000
Variable cost of goods sold $8,352,000
Manufacturing margin $2,448,000
Variable selling and administrative $1,080,000
expenses
Contribution margin $1,368,000
Fixed Cost:
Fixed manufacturing cost $320,000
Fixed selling and administrative $180,000
expenses
Total fixed cost $500,000
Income from operation $868,000
3. The reason for difference of amount for income from operation is $32,000 ($900,000 - $868,000). It is due to fixed manufacturing cost which is included for ending inventory under absorption costing (320,000 / 80,000 * 8,000). Hence, income under absorption costing is higher by $32,000 as compared to income under variable costing.
If the government guarantees sugar farmers a price of $1 per pound when the market equilibrium price is actually $0.50 per pound, which of the following will occur?
a) A shortage of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
b) A shortage of sugar will occur, decreasing inefficiency.
c) A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
d) A surplus of sugar will occur,decreasing inefficiency.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
the price per pound of sugar is above equilibrium price, as a result the supply of sugar would increase while the demand for sugar would decrease. this would lead to a surplus. because at $1, supply would exceed demand, there would be an increase in inefficiency
Answer:
A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
Explanation:
When the price of sugar is set above the market equilibrium price, the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded by consumers. Therefore, a surplus of sugar occurs that increases the level of inefficiency.
The Great Depression was the worst economic disaster in U.S. history in terms of declines in real GDP and increases in the unemployment rate. Use the data in the following table to calculate the percentage decline in real GDP between 1929 and 1933.
Year Nominal GDP Billions of Dollars GDP Price Deflator (yr 2000 = 100)
1929 103.6 11.9
1933 56.4 8.9
Real GDP changed by _____% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933. Enter a percentage value rounded to one decimal place. Include a minus sign if necessary.
Answer: -27.2%
Explanation:
The Real GDP can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Price Deflator which is the current price level for the year.
Price Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/ Price Deflator ) * 100
1929
= (103.6/11.9 )* 100
= $870.588
1933
= (56.4/8.9) * 100
= $633.70787
Percentage Change
= (870.588 - 633.70787) / 870.588
= 0.272
= -27.2%
GDP changed by -27.2% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933

Explanation:
Sheffield Company has $145,000 of inventory at the beginning of the year and $131,000 at the end of the year. Sales revenue is $1,972,800, cost of goods sold is $1,145,400, and net income is $248,400 for the year. The inventory turnover ratio is:
Answer:
Sheffield Company
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $1,145,400/$138,000
= 8.3 times
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory = $145,000
Ending inventory = $131,000
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)/2
= ($145,000 + 131,000)/2
= $138,000
Sales revenue = $1,972,800
Cost of goods sold = $1,145,400
Net income = $248,400
b) The inventory turnover ratio for Sheffield Company is an efficiency ratio that shows how inventory is managed and the number of times Sheffield sells or consumes the inventory during an accounting period. This is why Sheffield Company takes the average of the inventories in order to smoothen seasonal fluctuations in the inventory level during the year. When this ratio divides the number of days in the accounting period, Sheffield will get the days it takes for inventory to be purchased or produced, and then sold or consumed.

Explanation:
Checking a diversified firm's business portfolio for the competitive advantage potential of cross-business strategic fits entails consideration of the extent to which there are competitively valuable relationships between the value chains of sister business units and what opportunities they present to reduce costs, share use of a potent brand name, create competitively valuable new capabilities via cross-business collaboration, or transfer skills or technology or intellectual capital from one business to another.
Generally, a strategic fit exists whenever one or more activities comprising the value chain of various business entities are evidently similar to avail the choice of transferring competitively valuable expertise, resources, or technology from one business entity to another or combine the similar value chain activities of the sister business unit into a single operation so as to maximize profits and lower the cost of production.
Net capital outflow and net exports An open economy interacts with the rest of the world through its involvement in world markets for goods and services and world financial markets. Although it can often result in an imbalance in these markets, the following identity must remain true: In other words, If a transaction directly affects the left side of this equation, then It must also affect the right side. The following problem will help you understand why this Identity must hold. Suppose you are a fashion designer Living In the United States, and a trendy boutique in Bangkok just purchased your entire inventory for THB 80,000.
Determine the effects of this transaction on exports, imports, and net exports in the U.S. economy, and enter your results in the following table. If the direction of change is 'No change,'' enter ''0'' in the Magnitude of Change column. Hint: The magnitude of change should always be positive, regardless of the direction of change. Because of the identity equation that relates)_________ to net exports, the in U.S. net exports Is matched by _________in U.S. net capital outflow. Which of the following Is an example of how the United States might be affected in this scenario?
a. You store the Thai baht in your safety deposit box at home.
b. You purchase THB 48,000 worth of stock in a Thai corporation and THB 32,000 worth of Thai bonds.
c. You exchange the THB 80,000 for dollars at your local bank, which then uses the foreign currency to purchase stock in a Thai corporation.
Answer:
1. a. Exports will increase by THB 80,000
You live in the US and you just sold something to someone outide the US. This is an export so you increased US exports by THB 80,000.
b. Imports will be $0.
You did not import anything from outside the country.
c. Net Exports will be THB 80,000
Net Exports are Exports less imports for a given period.
= 80,000 - 0
= THB 80,000
2. Because of the identity equation that relates to net exports, increase in U.S. net exports Is matched by an increase in U.S. net capital outflow.

Currently Acre is charged $3,693,600 Depreciation on the Income Statement of Andrews. Andrews is planning for an increase in this depreciation. On the financial statements of Andrews will this?
Answer: C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
Explanation:
The Cash Flow Statement deals with only cash transactions of a business in an effort to know just how much actual cash the business has. The Operations section of the Cash Flow Statement is derived from the Net Income and to get to the Net Income, Depreciation is removed. Because Depreciation is a non-cash expense, and does not actually reduce cash, it is added back when calculating cash from Operations. A larger depreciation therefore would bring in more cash from Operations in the Cash Flow statement.

Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal tax credit. A consulting engineering company wants to evaluate the purchase or lease of one of the vehicles for use by its employees traveling to job sites in the local area. The cost for leasing the vehicle will be $4200 per year (payable at the end of each year) after an initialization charge of $2500 paid now. If the company purchases the vehicle, it will also purchase a home charging station for $2200 that will be partially offset by a 50% tax credit. If the company expects to be able to sell the car and charging station for 40% of the base price of the car alone at the end of 3 years, should the company purchase or lease the car? Use an interest rate of 10% per year and annual worth analysis.
Answer:
Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf
PV cost of Leaf Purchase = $16,529
PV cost of Leasing = $12,944.78
The company should lease the car.
Explanation:
a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:
Base price $32,780
less Federal tax credit ($7,500)
Charging station 2,200
less 50% tax credit (1,100)
Cash paid $26,380
Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)
Net PV Investment $16,529
b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:
PV (Present Value) $12,944.78
N (Number of Periods) 3.000
I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%
PMT (Periodic Payment) $4,200.00
Starting Investment $2,500.00
Total Principal $15,100.00
Total Interest $2,129.50
c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax. The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%). When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851). On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78
