Answer:
A. $820,036.47
B. No, the firm should not undertake this specific project
C. If the interest rate go higher by 1 percent the risk is that the present cash flow savings limits of the amount of $860,000 set by the management will fall.
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the value of the future cash flow savings expected to be generated by this project.
PRESENT VALUE
2020 = $110,000/(1.07)^1
2020= $102,803.74
2021= $120,000/(1.07)^2
2021=$104,812.65
2022 =$130,000/(1.07)^3
2022=$106,118.72
2023 =$150,000/(1.07)^4
2023=$114,434.28
2024 =$160,000/(1.07)^5
2021=$114,077.79
2025 =$150,000/(1.07)^6
2025=$99,951.33
2026 =$90,000/(1.11)^7
2026=$433,49.26
2027 =$90,000/(1.11)^8
2027=$39,053.38
2028 =$90,000/(1.11)^9
2028=$351,83.23
2029 =$90,000/(1.11)^10
2029=$31,696.60
2030 =$90000/(1.11)^11
2030=$28,555.49
TOTAL VALUE $820,036.47
Therefore the value of the future cash flow savings expected to be generated by this project is $820,036.47 .
b. Based on the criterion that was set by the management, the firm should NOT undertake this specific project reason been that the total amount of the PRESENT VALUE (PV) cash inflow of the amount of $820,036.47 is LESSER than the present cash flow savings of the amount of $860,000 that was set by the management.
c. Based on the information given in a situation were the interest rate go higher by 1 percent the risk is that the present cash flow savings limits of the amount of $860,000 set by the management will fall.
Finishing Touches has two classes of stock authorized: 7%, $10 par preferred, and $1 par value common. The following transactions affect stockholders' equity during 2021, its first year of operations: January 2 Issues 100,000 shares of common stock for $24 per share. February 6 Issues 1,900 shares of 7% preferred stock for $13 per share. September 10 Purchases 12,000 shares of its own common stock for $29 per share. December 15 Resells 6,000 shares of treasury stock at $34 per share. In its first year of operations, Finishing Touches has net income of $149,000 and pays dividends at the end of the year of $94,000 ($1 per share) on all common shares outstanding and $1,330 on all preferred shares
Required:
Prepare the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet for Finishing Touches as of December 31, 2018. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
Total Stockholders' Equity = $2,334,370
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet for Finishing Touches as of December 31, 2018 with all the formulae used.
In the attached excel file, the retained earnings is calculated as follows:
Retained earnings = Net income – Common dividends - Preferred dividends = $149,000 - $94,000 - $1,330) = $53,670
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total Stockholders' Equity = $2,334,370
interest cost (the increase in pension costs due to the passage of time), the expected return on plan assets (the amount that managers anticipate they will earn on the plan's investments), and other costs were all reflected in operating income. Under the new rules (which are now in effect), service costs will be reported as an operating cost and all the other pension costs and any expected returns will be reported as non-operating items. What will be the change in operating income for GM
Answer:
The change in operating income for GM is that the operating income will increase by the amount of other pension costs less expected returns.
However, this change will not affect the net income, as all the items will still be accounted for, accordingly.
Explanation:
GM's pension service cost is the present value of the amount that the GM is required by law to set aside annually to meet its employees' pension-benefits obligations. The reason for the separation is that the service cost is a compensation cost, whereas other pension costs are financial costs and not compensation costs. By this separation, the operating income of GM will increase.
Hammes Corporation manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses units as the measure of activity in its budgets and performance reports. During February, the company budgeted for 5,500 units, but its actual level of activity was 5,510 units. The company has provided the following data concerning the formulas to be used in its budgeting: Fixed element per month, Variable element per unit:
Revenue −−−−, $ 43.10
Direct labor $ 0, $ 6.20
Direct materials 0, 15.70
Manufacturing overhead 47,800, 1.40
Selling and administrative expenses 27,300, 0.70
Total expenses $ 75,100, $ 24.00
The activity variance for net operating income in February would be closest to:
A. $191 U
B. $1,651 U
C. $191 F
D. $1,651 F
Answer:
c. $191 Favorable
Explanation:
Flexible budget Planning budget Activity variance
Units produced 5,510 units 5,500 units
Revenue $237,481 $237,050
Total Expenses ($207,340) ($207,100)
Net Operating Income $30,141 $29,950 $191 F
Workings
Flexible budget revenue = 5,510 units*$43.10 = $237,481
Planning budget revenue = 5,500 units*$43.10 = $237,050
Flexible budget expenses = $75,100 + $24*5510 = $207,340
Planning budget expenses = $75,100 + $24*5500 = $207,100

Which of the following statements regarding personal and/or rental use of a home is false? Multiple Choice A day for which a taxpayer rents a home to an unrelated party for less than the property's fair market value is considered to be a personal-use day. A day for which a taxpayer rents a home to a relative for full fair market value is considered to be a rental use day (home is not the relative’s principal residence). A day for which an unrelated nonowner stays in the home under a vacation exchange arrangement is considered to be a personal-use day. A day for which the home is available for rent but is not occupied does not count as a personal-use or a rental use day.
Answer:
A day for which a taxpayer rents a home to a relative for full fair market value is considered to be a
rental use day.
Explanation:
Personal use property can be regarded as type of property/ asset that is not been used by individual for purpose of business or investment purpose. personal use portion of interest on mortgage as well as property taxes is been passed on to the owners. In the case, whereby the the property qualifies as a residence, whereby the property is been rented like less than 15 days within the year, the rental income cannot be taxed
It should be noted that some instances of personal and/or rental use of a home are;
✓ A day for which a taxpayer rents a home to an unrelated party for less than the property's fair market value is considered to be a personal-use day.
✓ A day for which an unrelated nonowner stays in the home under a vacation exchange arrangement is considered to be a personal-use day.
✓A day for which the home is available for rent but is not occupied does not count as a personal-use or a rental use day.

A young couple has made a nonrefundable deposit of the first month’s rent (equal to $1,000) on a 6-month apartment lease. The next day they find a different apartment that they like just as well, but its monthly rent is only $900. They plan to be in the apartment only 6 months. Should they switch to the new apartment? What if they plan to stay 1 year? Assume an interest rate of 12%
Answer:
Should they switch to the new apartment? If they plan to stay 6 months.
No, since the difference in rent is too small and it is simply not worth it.
If they were planning to saty in teh new apartment for 1 year, they would need to find the epresent value of the difference between one apartment and the other = $100 x 11.255 (PVIFA, 1%, 12 peridos) = $1,125.50. This amount is higher than the initial deposit, so they should choose the other apartment.

1. Think about the business cycle; What are the parts of the business cycle? How does each part of the business cycle impact employment?
2. Think about economic indicators; What is GDP and how does it show if an economy is doing well or poorly? Describe two ways that a GDP shows overall whether an economy is doing well or poorly.
Answer:
Explanation:
An economic cycle, also referred to as a business cycle, has four stages: expansion, peak, contraction, and trough.
Unemployment increases during business cycle recessions and decreases during business cycle expansions (recoveries). If the equilibrium level of output is less than the full employment level as illustrated on the graph above, this indicates that some available resources are unemployed and less is being produced.
GDP is important because it gives information about the size of the economy and how an economy is performing. The growth rate of real GDP is often used as an indicator of the general health of the economy. In broad terms, an increase in real GDP is interpreted as a sign that the economy is doing well.
How can you tell if the economy is doing well or badly? GDP - or economic growth. This is a measure of all the goods and services produced in a country over a period of time, for example, a year. An increase means the economy is growing.
YOU BETTER READ ALL OF THISIn the U.S. trade deficit during the 1980s was due largely to the rise in the U.S. budget deficit. On the other hand, some in the popular press have claimed that the increased trade deficit resulted from a decline in the quality of U.S. products relative to foreign products. Assume that U.S. products did decline in relative quality during the 1980s. This caused net exports at any given exchange rate to: __________
Answer: Decline
Explanation:
If U.S. goods fall in quality, less people will demand the goods which will lead to a fall in U.S. exports.
As U.S. goods are denominated in dollars, a fall in the demand for US exports is akin to a fall in demand for the US dollar.
The US dollar gets weaker so the exports at every exchange rate will fall.
Net exports is calculated by subtracting imports from exports so net exports will decline as a result of exports falling.

Jake Entertainment Corporation has three segments with revenue, operating income, and depreciation and amortization information (in millions) as follows: Segment Revenue Operating Income Depreciation and Amortization Film $5,000 $1,500 $525 Theme Park 1,000 320 112 Video Game 500 175 53 Totals $6,500 $1,995 $690 The EBITDA for the Theme Park segment is
Answer:
EBITDA = $2,685
Explanation:
EBITDA is the acronym for Earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization .
EBITDA is a common financial metric which is used to measure the a company's profitability unlike other profitability it is very useful to gauge how much cashflow a company's has. It is the profit earned by a firm before deducting non-cash items and other obligations. It quantifies how much cash is available to settle interest on debt obligations and taxes.
It is computed ad follows:
EBITDA = operating income + depreciation an amortization
= $1,995 + $690= $2,685
EBITDA = $2,685
When a group of people must decide whether to buy a shared public good or service, the free-rider problem frequently occurs because:
Answer:
When a group of people must decide whether to buy a shared public good or service, the free-rider problem frequently occurs because it is usual that one of the individuals in the group benefits to a greater extent from the one who contributed at the beginning of the acquisition of the good or service. Thus, in economic terms, it obtains a profit greater than that which would correspond to it by virtue of its initial contribution.
This situation is evident in the case of public property of common use (for example, a bridge or the lights of a city), where a person who does not contribute to the acquisition or maintenance of said property (for example, an occasional traveler) can use the asset in the same way as local citizens, who do contribute to that asset. Its frequency occurs because it is impossible, in the case of public goods, for the government to control who uses and who does not use said service in an effective way.

Imagine yourself sitting in your car in a campus parking lot that is currently full, waiting for someone to pull out so that you can park your car. Somebody pulls out, but at the same moment a driver who has just arrived overtakes you in an obvious attempt to park in the vacated spot before you can. Suppose this driver would be willing to pay up to $10 to park in that spot and up to $30 to avoid getting into an argument with you. (That is, the benefit of parking is $10 and the cost of an argument is $30.) At the same time he guesses, accurately, that you too would be willing to pay up to $30 to avoid a confrontation and up to $10 to park in the vacant spot.
a. Model this situation as a two-stage decision tree in which his bid to take the space is the opening move and your strategies are (1) to protest and (2) not to protest. If you protest (initiate an argument), the rules of the game specify that he has to let you take the space. Show the payoffs at the end of each branch of the tree.
b. What is the equilibrium outcome?
c. What would be the advantage of being able to communicate credibly to the other driver that your failure to protest would be a significant psychological cost to you?

It needs 3,000 parking spaces, with a fee of $6 per day and more spaces are required for 2,000 people.
A parking permit is a pre-printed card that has been provided by various municipal authorities that a resident (or their guest) can display in their vehicle when parking in a certain spot along the side of the road.
(a) If students pay for a permit, and not a daily fee:
the demand equation is Qd = 10,000 and Qs = 16,000
So, the shortage is
= 10,000 - 7,000
= 3,000 parking spaces
(b) If the university charges a daily fee so the equation will be
Qd = Qs
10,000 - 500P = 7,000
3,000 = 500P
P = $6 per day
(c) An increase in demand will be
Qd = 12,000 - 500P
To keep the price at $6
Qs = 12,000 - 500 × (6)
= 9,000
now,
More spaces required is
= 9,000 - 7,000
= 2,000
Therefore, All solutions are stated above.

The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt, preferred stock, and common equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm’s overall capital structure. is the symbol that represents the before-tax cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation. Mitchell Co. has $2.3 million of debt, $2.5 million of preferred stock, and $1.8 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock?
Answer:
37.88 %
Explanation:
The weight on preferred stock mean, what percentage out of the Total Market Value of the Sources of Capital pooled together is taken by Preferred Stock.
Weight on preferred stock = Market Value of Preferred Stock / Total Market Value of Sources of Capital x 100
where,
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $2.5 million
and
Total Market Value of Sources of Capital :
Debt $2.3 million
Preferred Stock $2.5 million
Common Equity $1.8 million
Total $6.6 million
therefore,
Weight on preferred stock = $2.5 million / $6.6 million x 100 = 37.88 %
The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $6.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $18.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $3.60 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 254 boxes with a standard deviation of 37 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes
Answer:
289 boxes
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow
First step is to calculate Co using this formula
Co = buying price – discard price
Let plug in the formula
Co= 6.00 – 3.60
Co =2.40
Second step is to calculate Cu using this formula
Cu = selling price – buying price
Let plug in the formula
Cu= 18.00 − 6.00
Cu= 12.00
Third step is to calculate the Newsvendor fractile
using the formula this formula
p = Cu/(Cu + Co)
Let plug in the formula
p = (Cu/(Cu + Co))*100%
p= (12.00 / (12.00 + 2.40)) * 100%
p= (12.00 / 14.40) * 100%
p= 0.83 * 100
p= 83%
Fourth Step is to find the corresponding z value using Norm.s.inv() which gives us 0.954
Now let calculate the optimal quantity
Using this formula
Optimal quantity (Q) = Demand + std dev * z
Let plug in the formula
Q= 254 + (37* 0.954)
Q= 254+ + 35.298
Q= 289.298
Q= 289 boxes (Approximately)
Therefore How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow is 289 boxes
Which of the following best describes profit sharing? incentive pay in which payments are a percentage of the organization's profits and do not become part of the employees' base salary a gainsharing program in which employees receive a bonus if the ratio of labor costs to the sales value of production is below a set standard a group incentive program that measures improvements in productivity and effectiveness and distributes a portion of profit to employees an incentive plan where a percentage of the previous year's profits is provided to the employees as a part of their salary a combination of performance measures directed toward the company's profit and used as the basis for awarding incentive pay
Answer:
incentive pay in which payments are a percentage of the organization's profits and do not become part of the employees' base salary.
Explanation:
Profit can be defined as the total amount of money generated from a business after deducting the costs of production or cost price.
Mathematically, Profit = cost price - selling price
Hence, the statement which best describes profit sharing is that it is an incentive pay in which payments are a percentage of the organization's profits and do not become part of the employees' base salary.

What was the annual increase in the price of the average house sold
Answer:
Annual increase in price=3.3%
Explanation:
Using the cumulative average growth formula, we can compute the average annual increase as follows;
Average annual increase =( Recent price/Initial price)^1/(n-1)
Initial price =$27,358. 8
Recent price = $21,808
n=8
Average annual increase= (27,358. 8/21,808)^(1/(8-1))=3.3%
Annual increase in price
Haste Enterprises issues 20-year, $1,000,000 bonds that pay semiannual interest of $50,000. If the effective annual rate of interest is 11%, what is the issue price of the bonds? Some relevant and irrelevant present value factors: * PV of ordinary annuity of $1: n = 20; i = 11% is 7.96333 **PV of $1: n = 20; i = 11% is 0.12403 * PV of ordinary annuity of $1: n = 40; i = 5.5% is 16.04612 **PV of $1: n = 40; i = 5.5% is 0.11746 Multiple Choice $1,000,000. $919,766. $1,802,306. $992,948.
Answer: $919,766
Explanation:
The Present Value of issuance price of a bond is:
= Present value of interest payments + Present Value of par value at maturity
Present value of interest payments:
The payments are constant so this is an annuity.
Payments are semi annual so the variables should be adjusted for this.
Interest = 11%/2 = 5.5%
Number of periods = 20 * 2 = 40 semi annual periods.
Present value = Annuity * Present value of annuity factor, 5.5%, 40 periods
= 50,000 * 16.04612
= $802,306
Present value of par at maturity:
= Par value * discount factor, 5.5%, 40 years
= 1,000,000 * 0.11746
= $117,460
Issue price of bond:
= 802,306 + 117,460
= $919,766
All yearly government spending is broken up into two categories; Mandatory spending which is required by law and Discretionary spending which is spending that must be approved each year by Congress.
Mandatory spending is spending that is required by current law. Most federal mandatory spending is in the form of safety net and entitlement programs, including the Food Stamp program, Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Safety net programs represent “transfer payments” by which the government redistributes the income of the taxpayers by collecting taxes and providing services for those less fortunate and who do not provide any type of good or service in return. Entitlement expenditures include Medicaid and Social Security in which money that has been collected from taxpayers is then given back to those that contributed once they reach a certain age or meet other requirements. Other forms of mandatory spending include veterans benefits. For example, being a veteran means that you have already provided a service for which you were guaranteed, by law, certain benefits and payments (salary once you served your term/retirement, college benefits once you served your term, health insurance after you served your term, etc.). Because the law requires that these benefits be paid once the military personnel has served their term, these expenditures are mandatory and are automatically included in the US budget each year. The amount included for these expenditures is based on the number of citizens who “qualify” for these payments whether safety net, entitlement, or veteran benefits. Many other mandatory expenditures fall under the US budget. Over half of the entire US budget is mandatory which means that it cannot be changed without a change to the law.
About one-third of federal spending is Discretionary. This means that while this spending is for programs that are considered necessary to the operation of the US, they must be re-approved each year by Congress through a vote. The largest category of Discretionary spending is National Defense which must be approved each year. Other categories of Discretionary spending include education assistance, Interstate transportation programs, national parks, the Justice / Court system, and science, space, and technology research programs.
An appropriation is an Act which congress passes to approve discretionary spending. For example, one category of spending on education may be mandatory but congress may want to increase spending through an appropriation (or a special vote) which places the extra spending under the discretionary piece of the budget. One example of an appropriation that increased mandatory spending in the US annual budget is that of the Veteran’s Choice program. Veteran’s health benefits are required by law (they have served and part of their payment for serving is free health care after they retire). However, to receive their health benefits veterans have historically been required to utilize specific Doctors and hospitals. This is the law and therefore part of the mandatory budget. However, an appropriation was passed in 2019 which added extra funding to allow veterans to visit any Doctor they chose and be treated at any hospital of their choosing. The funding for this change is part of the discretionary budget and had to be approved by congress.
Questions:
1) Name and define the two types of spending that are included in the US budget each year.
2) What does it mean that mandatory spending is spending required by law? Give an example.
3) How much of the US yearly budget is required by law?
4) Who must vote to approve additional (Discretionary) spending each year?
5) What is the largest category of spending that must be voted on each year?
6) What is appropriation? Give an example.
Answer:
In the decade leading up to the Great Recession, the government kept federal spending below 20% of GDP. It grew no faster than the economy, around 2% to 3% per year. During the recession, spending grew to a record 24.4% of GDP in FY 2009. This increase was due to economic stimulus and two overseas wars.3
Explanation:
At the same time, growth slowed, which reduced tax receipts. Congress worried about the ballooning U.S. debt. No one could agree on how to reduce it. As a result, Congress enacted across-the-board budget cuts, called "sequestration."4 That finally reduced spending to 20.4% of GDP in FY 2015.5
Since then, spending has crept up again despite the sequester. Congress and the president rely on deficit spending to boost economic growth.6 But deficit spending is out of control. It rises each year, even when the economy is doing well.
Rates and taxes
amount to R 14000
per month, and must
be apportioned in
relation to floor space
(the factory takes up
75% of the total floor
space of the entire
premises
Answer:
The Rates and Taxes:
Factory = R 10,500
Office = R 3,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total amount for Rates and Taxes = R 14,000
Factory space = 75%
Therefore, office space = 25% (100 - 75%)
Apportionment of the Rates and Taxes for the month:
Factory = R 10,500 (R 14,000 * 75%)
Office = R 3,500 ( R 14,000 * 25%)
b) Each function of the business entity is apportioned a part of the Rates and Taxes according to the size of the floor space they take up. This shows that Rates and Taxes are dependent on floor space.
