Answer:
Suppose that in year 2021, Bloomfield had equal share of percentage of ownership in Clor as they had in previous year i.e 2020, it means that in 2021, the share of percentage that will be held by Bloomfield in Clor will be 26.59%
Explanation:
From the above, we will assume that Bloomfield stake in Clor using equity method and also investment in 2020 was $150,650 and $165,300 in 2021.
Inorder to calculate the percentage , we can make it Y hence we will add amount in 2020 with Y% of (Net income - Dividend declared) inorder to arrive at the total amount in 2021.
Solution.
$150,650 + Y% (75,600 - $20,500) = $165,300
$150,650 + $55,100Y = $165,300
$55,100Y = $165,300 - $150,650
$55,100Y = $14,650
Y% = $14,650/$55,100
Y% = 0.26588
Y = 0.26588 × 100
Y = 26.59
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year, the balance sheet of Hughey Inc. showed stockholders' equity of $523,000. During the year, liabilities increased by $28,000 to $232,000; paid-in capital increased by $37,000 to $174,000; and assets increased by $259,000. Dividends declared and paid during the year were $46,000.
Required:
Calculate net income or loss for the year.
Stockholders’ Equity
Assets = Liabilities + PIC + RE
Beginning = + + $260,000 SE
Changes 130,000 = 11,000 + 20,000 +
Ending = $116,000 + $90,000 +
Answer:
net income = $240,000
Explanation:
beginning stockholders' equity $523,000
beginning liabilities $204,000, ending liabilities $232,000 ($28,000 increase)
beginning paid in capital $137,000, ending $174,000 ($37,000 increase)
assets increased by $259,000
dividends $46,000
assets = liabilities + equity
beginning assets = $204,000 + $523,000 = $727,000
ending assets = $727,000 + $259,000 = $986,000
ending equity = ending assets - ending liabilities = $986,000 - $232,000 = $754,000
beginning equity = beginning paid in capital + retained earnings
beginning retained earnings = $523,000 - $137,000 = $386,000
ending equity = ending paid in capital + retained earnings
ending retained earnings = $754,000 - $174,000 = $580,000
ending retained earnings = beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends
$580,000 = $386,000 + net income - $46,000
net income = $580,000 + $46,000 - $386,000 = $240,000
Spartan Corporation discovered these errors in August of Year 3: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reported Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. The correct Year 2 Net Income is:
Answer:
Net income year 2 = $21,300
Explanation:
I looked for the missing information and found this:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $2,000
2 $4,000 $2,700
If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300
DIP LLC reports ordinary income (before guaranteed payments) of $120,000, rent expense of $40,000, and interest income of $4,000 for the year. In addition, DIP paid guaranteed payments to partner Percy of $20,000. If Percy owns a 40% capital and profits interest, how much income will he report for the year and what is its character?
Answer:
$24,000 ordinary income
$1,600 interest income
$20,000 guaranteed payment.
Explanation:
Calculation for what how much income will Percy report for the year and what is its character
Calculation for Percy Ordinary income: 120,000 - 40,000 - 20,000
= 60,000 x 40%
= 24,000.
Calculation for Percy Interest income:
4,000 x 40%
= 1,600
Guaranteed Payment: 20,000
Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income
$1,600 interest income
$20,000 guaranteed payment.

Boomerang Computer Company sells computers with an unconditional right to return the computer if the customer is not satisfied. Boomerang has a long history selling these computers under this returns policy and can provide precise estimates of the amount of returns associated with each sale. Boomerang most likely should recognize revenue:
Answer:
When Boomerang delivers a computer to a customer.
Explanation:
Revenue is recognised by a business when it is earned. That is when the transaction is completed and a sale is established.
In the given scenario when a customer buys goods for Boomerang they have unconditional right to return the computer if the customer is not satisfied.
The situation where Boomerang should recognise revenue is when a computer is delivered to the customer and the sale is consummated.
If the company recognises revenue when an order is made, there is possibility of customer returning the computer. Then their revenue data will be inaccurate
Answer:

Which of the following is NOT an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies (wholesale distributors and retail dealers)?
a. Change to a more economical distribution strategy such as putting more emphasis on cheaper distribution channels (perhaps direct sales via the Internet) or perhaps integrating forward into company-owned retail outlets
b. Enhance differentiation through activities such as cooperative advertising) at the forward end of the value chain
c. Pressure distributors/dealers and other forward-channel allies to reduce their costs and markups
d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers
e. Collaborate with forward channel allies to identify win-win opportunities to reduce costs
Answer: d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers
Explanation:
The cost disadvantage is from the forward channel allies and not an across the board problem which involves all value chain activities. As such, the solution should be garnered towards the forward channel allies.
Insisting on cuts in areas that could be already functioning efficiently could lead to a loss of that efficiency.
Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities is therefore not an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies.

What is the division's Return on Investment (ROI)?
A) 25.00%.
B) 11.67%.
C) 40.00%.
D) 46.67%.
Answer:
Return n investment = 11.67%
Explanation:

For the division, the return on investment would be the proportion of te investment in assets that is earned as net income.
This would be determined as follows;
Return n investment = (Net income÷ Operating assets) × 100
Return n investment = (175,000 ÷ 1,500,000) × 100= 11.67%
Return n investment = 11.67%

If the rate of inflation is 4.8 %4.8%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 2.2 %2.2% real interest rate on your investment? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.
Answer:
Nominal rate of return= 7.11%
Explanation:
Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money
Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.
Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1
N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation
real rate - 2.2%, inflation - 4.8%
Nominal rate of return =(1.022)× (1.048) - 1 = 0.071056
Nominal rate of return = 0.071056 × 100 = 7.1056 %
Nominal rate of return= 7.11%

A company discarded a computer system originally purchased for $18,000. The accumulated depreciation was $17,200. The company should recognize a(an):
Answer:
The company should recognize a $800 loss.
Explanation:
Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.
In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

Swing Co. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,130.35. However, Swing Co. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Swing Co.’s bonds?
Answer:
YTM = 7.77%
YTC = 7.62%
Explanation:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,130.35)/18]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTM = 82.758333 / 1,065.175 = 0.07769 = 7.77%
YTC = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value + market value)/2]
YTC = {90 + [(1,060 - 1,130.35)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTC = 81.20625 / 1,065.175 = 0.07623 = 7.62%
A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. What amount of tax will result in unconsummated transaction
The question is incomplete:
A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. If the transaction is completed at $24,000, what level of sales tax will result in unconsummated transaction?
a. 0%
b. 25%
c. 20%
d. 40%
Answer:
d. 40%
Explanation:
The unconsummated transaction would occur when the price that the customer has to pay is higher than the value that he gave to the car. According to that, the answer would be the tax that would increase the final price to more than $30,000:
0%: $24,000
25%: 24,000*1.25= $30,000
20%: 24,000*1.20= $28,800
40%: 24,000*1.40= $33,600
The answer is that the amount of tax will result in an unconsummated transaction is 40%.

= [tex]Xv^{n} * a_{m}[/tex] because it is the value after n periods multiplied by the payments received for m periods.
The result is;
= [tex]X * a_{n}[/tex] - [tex]Xv^{n} * a_{m}[/tex]
= [tex]X[a_{n} -v^{n} a_{m} ][/tex]

Toyota will bring hybrid electric automobiles to market next year priced at $27 comma 000 (this includes a $6 comma 750 federal tax credit). At $1.89 per gallon of gasoline, it will take 11 years to recoup the difference in price between a base model Toyota Camry and its four-cylinder gasoline-only counterpart. The price difference is $4 comma 180. If the hybrid vehicle is driven for 15 years, what is the internal rate of return on the extra investment in the hybrid?
Answer:
4.15%
Explanation:
In order to determine the annual saving we must divide the extra cost of the hybrid by the amount of years it takes to recoup our investment.
annual savings = $4,180 / 11 years = $380 per year
our initial investment = -$4,180
since we are going to use the car during 15 years, then we have 15 positive cash flows of $380
using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, the internal rate of return (IRR) on our investment = 4.15%
