Bob is evaluating a bond issue to determine the right price for the bond. In his evaluation, he gathers the following information:
N = 8 years INT = .025 or 2.5% PMT = $25 FV = $1,000 (par value)
What is the above bond issue worth in today's dollars?
a. $1,000
b. $1,181.63
c. $1,200.50
d. None of the above
Answers
Answer:
The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.
The formula for the price of the bond is attached.
Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025] + 1000 / (1+0.025)^8
Bond Price = $1000

Bloomfield Bakers accounts for its investment in Clor Confectionary under the equity method. Bloomfield carried the Clor investment at $150,650 and $165,300 at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, respectively. During 2021 Clor recognized $75,600 of net income and paid dividends of $20,500. Assuming that Bloomfield owned the same percentage of Clor throughout 2021, its percentage ownership must have been: (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent):
Answers
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

All of the material purchased was used to produce 1,500 units of Zoom. 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answers
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material:
Standard= 7.40 pounds $ 2.60 per pound
Actual= 12,100 pounds of material were purchased for $2.50 per pound.
Direct labor:
Standard= 0.45 hours $ 8.00 per hour
Actual= 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750
Units produced= 1,500
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.6 - 2.5)*12,100
Direct material price variance= $1,210 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 1,500*7.4= 11,100
Direct material quantity variance= (11,100 - 12,100)*2.6
Direct material quantity variance= $2,600 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 1,500*0.45= 675
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (675 - 575)*8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $800 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 5,750/575= $10
Direct labor rate variance= (8 - 10)*575
Direct labor rate variance= $1,150 unfavorable

The seller will continue to hold legal title, while the buyer will live in the home and pay all real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and regular upkeep costs. What kind of contract do the buyer and seller have
Answers
Answer: Land Sales Contract
Explanation:
Land Sales contract are a way to buy a property for people who would otherwise be unable to buy one because they were unable to get a mortgage or are running low in funds.
It works by the buyer paying the seller a certain amount of money for a period of time according to an agreement. During this period of payment, the seller continues to hold the legal rights to the property and then passes it to the buyer when they are finished paying. In this scenario therefore, the seller effectively plays the role of a mortgage bank.

Prior to the first month of operations ending October 31 Marshall Inc. estimated the following operating results:
Sales (20,000 x $71) $1,420,000
Manufacturing costs (20,000 units):
Direct materials 852,000
Direct labor 202,000
Variable factory overhead 94,000
Fixed factory overhead 112,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 30,500
Variable selling and administrative expenses 36,800
The company is evaluating a proposal to manufacture 22,400 units instead of 20,000 units, thus creating an Inventory, October 31 of 2,400 units. Manufacturing the additional units will not change sales, unit variable factory overhead costs, total fixed factory overhead cost, or total selling and administrative expenses.
Required:
a. Prepare an estimated income statement, comparing operating results if 20,000 and 22,400 units are manufactured in the absorption costing format.
b. What is the reason for the difference in income from operations reported for the two levels of production by the absorption costing income statement?
Answers
Answer:
a.

Net Income / (Loss) $92,700 $104,700
a. Reasons
Variable Production Costs have increased for the Manufacture of 22,400 units.
Fixed assets have been deferred in Inventory for the Manufacture of 22,400 units.
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Manufactured
Manufacturing costs (20,000 units):
Direct materials 852,000
Direct labor 202,000
Variable factory overhead 94,000
Fixed factory overhead 112,000
Total 1,260,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured
Manufacturing costs (22,400 units):
Direct materials (852,000 / 20,000 × 22,400) = $954,240
Direct labor (202,000 / 20,000 × 22,400) = $226,240
Variable factory overhead (94,000 / 20,000 × 22,400) = $105,280
Fixed factory overhead = $112,000
Total = $1,397,760
Closing Inventory = $1,397,760 / 22,400 × 2,400
= $149,760
The estimated net income in the manufacturing of 22,400 units is more than the income of 20,000 units by applying the method of absorption costing.
What do you mean by Absorption costing?Absorption costs, sometimes referred to as “total costs,” are a management method of taking into account all the costs associated with producing a particular product.
Direct and indirect costs, such as direct assets, direct employment, rent, and insurance, are calculated using this method.
a) The calculation of the estimated income statement for 22,400 units and 20,000 units is shown in the image below.
b) The reason for the difference in the income from operations for the two production levels is because of the presence of closing inventories, which reduces the cost of goods sold and increases the income from operations.
Working note:
[tex]\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \;=\\Manufacturing \; Costs (20,000 units)= Direct \;Materials \;+ Direct \; Labor + Variable \;factory \;overhead + Fixed \;factory \;overhead\\\\Manufacturing costs (20,000 units)=852,000+202,000+94,000+112,000\\\\Manufacturing costs (20,000 units) = \$1,260,000[/tex]
Cost of manufacturing when 22,400 units are produced:
Manufacturing costs (22,400 units):
[tex]\rm\,Manufacturing \; Costs (22,400 units):\\Direct \; Materials (\dfrac{852,000}{20,000} \times 22,400) = $954,240\\\rm\,Direct \;labor \;\dfrac{202,000}{20,000}\times 22,400 = $226,240\\Variable factory overhead \dfrac{94,000}{20,000 }\times 22,400 = $105,280\\Fixed factory overhead = $112,000[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \;= Manufacturing \; Costs (22,400 units)= Direct \;Materials \;+ Direct \; Labor + Variable \;factory \;overhead + Fixed \;factory \;overhead\\\\\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \; = 954,240+26,240+105,280+ 112,000\\\\\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \; = \$1,397,760\\\\Closing \,Inventory = \dfrac{\$1,397,760}{22,400}\times 2,400 \\\\Closing \,Inventory = \$149,760[/tex]
Hence, it can be concluded that the estimated net income in the manufacturing of 22,400 units is more than the income of 20,000 units by applying the method of absorption costing.

a) $20,000.
b) $0.
c) $160,000.
d) $140,000.
Answers
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Max company makes use of 20,000 units of part A to manufacture its product
A supplier offers to produce part A for $7
Max company has relevant costs to $8 per unit to produce part A
Therefore, the opportunity cost of not buying part A from the supplier can be calculated as follows
Opportunity cost= 20,000 units of part A($8-$7)

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 1/4. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense.
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 1/4, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answers
Answer:
A.$269,675
B.$305,325
C.$10,787
Explanation:
Requirement A Cash proceeds
Cash proceeds can find out by multiplying par value with the selling price
Cash proceeds = Par Value x Selling price
Cash proceeds = $230,000 x 117.25%
Cash proceeds = $269,675
Requirement B Interest Expense
Bond interest expense =Total repayment -Amount borrowed(REQ.A)
Bond interest expense = $575,000(w) - $269,675
Bond interest expense = $305,325
Workings
Semi-annual interest expense = $230,000 x 10% x 6/12
Semi-annual interest expense = $11,500
Total payment would be 30 for 15 years
Total payment = $11,500 x 30
Total payment = $345,000
Total repayment = Par value + $345,000
Total repayment = $230,000 + $345,000
Total repayment = $575,000
Requirement C Bond interest expense on the first interest payment date
Bond interest Expense = $269,675(REQ.A) x 8% x 6/12
Bond interest Expense = $10,787
Q3) At an output level of 45,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.79. If output rises to 48,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be
Answers
Answer: 18.6%
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output
% change in Output
= [tex]\frac{48,000 - 45,000}{45,000}[/tex]
= 6.7%
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output

Answers
Answer:
Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure.
Options 1, 3, and 10 are the immediate expenses.
Option 5 is Neither.
Explanation:
Capital expenditure is those expenditures that are incurred to maintain the fixed assets. Thus Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure. While the expenses that are compulsory and immediate in nature are called the immediate expenses. This means if the equipment requires repairing then it will fall in the category of immediate expense because without repairing it won't work. Therefore, a property tax of $75000, repair of the main plant, and maintenance for equipment are immediate expenses.
