Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. The company I chose to operate would be Celebrity Hair Salon. The Celebrity Hair Salon is a standard salon with comfortable furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment intended to tend to the needs of celebrities. Clients are expected to make appointments for their services which the salon strictly adheres to.
2. I would prefer to fund this new business through debt financing. Debt funding entails borrowing funds from Creditors with the intention of paying back at a later time with the attached interest. Equity funding entails giving an investor a certain percentage of the company's returns thus making him a co-owner of the company. This affords him the right to make decisions for the business. Detaching the investor from this business is difficult because it requires buying him out.
I would prefer debt financing because I wish to retain sole ownership of the business. I can also go through some government agencies to obtain funds at lower interest rates. Moreso, there is a fixed debt repayment plan that I can set a target to meet until the debt is paid. Finally, I can regain my freedom after the payment is completed, thus regaining my business and not entitling me to anyone.

Advika is a resident of India who exports hand-dyed fabrics to other nations. Since India has an exchange control system, what does this mean for Advika
Answer: The Reserve Bank of India keeps all of Advika’s foreign currency for her.
Explanation:
When a country uses exchange controls, it limits the amount of foreign currency that can come into a country. This is usually done to ensure stability in the money market of the country as well as to improve the balance of payments for the country.
One way of implementing exchange control is for all foreign currency to go through the Central bank of the country. Should a citizen need access to foreign currency, they would need to apply to the central bank to access it. With India having an exchange control system, the Reserve Bank of India keeps all foreign currency and Advika would have to apply for it should she need it.
Maria, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Juan, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Juan still has significant time remaining on his lease. Juan has notified Maria in writing of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Juan’s options if Maria declines to do the repairs? Please discuss all remedies Juan may seek. Please remember to reference the contract and text to support your analysis.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
Joan may as well put a call through to Maria in addition to his previous mail. Several remedial options are available to Juan and each has its own merits and demerits. It is proper for the tenant to consider each options carefully and seek legal opinion where necessary. However, if Maria declines to do the repairs, Juan may seek the following remedies
• Repair and deduct remedy . In this type of remedy, a tenant may deduct money that is equivalent of a month's rent to cover the cost of the repair or defect. Rental unit 156 covers a condition whether faulty or substandard rented unit could affect the tenant's health and safety. Since the landlord has refused to do the repair, she is guilty of implied warranty of habitability which includes leak in the roof, gas leak, no running water etc. Also, the tenant may not have to file a lawsuit against the landlord since this type of remedy has legal aid. Other conditions attached in addition to the above are ; the repairs cannot cost more than a month's rent, the tenant cannot use the repair and deduct remedy more that twice in any 12 month period, tenant must have informed the landlord in writing and through calls of the faulty area that requires repair. His family or pets must not be the cause of the faulty area that needed to be repaired etc.
• The abandonment remedy . Here, the tenant could move out of the faulty unit or defective rental unit due to its substandard condition which could affect his health and safety. Where the tenant uses the abandonment remedy judiciously, he is not liable to pay any other rent once he has abandoned or moved out of the defective rental unit. The conditions attached are that; the defects must be serious and directly related to the tenant's health and safety, the tenant or his family must not be the cause of the faulty space that requires repair. Moreover, the tenant must have informed the landlord whether in writing or orally telephone calls of the defects that requires repair.
• The rent withholding remedy. Legally, a tenant could withhold house rent if the landlord fails to take care of serious defects that negates the implied warranty of habitability. Conditions attached to this type of remedy are; the defects to be repaired must have threatened the tenant's safety and wellbeing. Again, the faulty or defective unit must be such that it becomes uninhabitable for the tenant . The tenant, his family or pets must not be the cause of the defects that requires repairs. The tenant must have also notified the landlord either through phone calls on in writing, amongst others.
• The tenant could also file a lawsuit against the landlord to recover the cost expended to fixing the faulty repairs where the landlord was not willing to do so. Conditions that must be met before this option could stand in the court of law are; the rental unit has serious defect that is not safe for living. A housing inspector has inspected the house and found to be short of minimum requirements for habitable place etc. A tenant may seek this type of redress where the option for out of court settlement has failed with the landlord.
1. Peter applied for a job at an accounting firm and a consulting firm. He knows that 50% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the accounting firm; only 40% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the consulting firm Peter also knows that 60% of similarly qualified applicants receive an offer from one firm or the other. Hints: A
Answer:
75%
Explanation:
Assume that:
X is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the accounting firm AND
Y is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the consulting firm.
Here,
P(X) is 50%, P(Y) is 40% and P(X∪Y) is 60%
Now we want to find P(X/Y) = ?
We also know that:
P(X/Y) = P(X∩Y) STEP1 / P(Y)
By putting values, we have:
P(X/Y) = 0.3 / 0.4 = 0.75 = 75%
Step 1: Find P(X∩Y)
P(X∪Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∩Y)
This implies that:
P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)
By putting values we have:
P(X∩Y) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.6 = 0.3
Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated useful life of 3 years or 30,000 hours. Using straight-line depreciation, calculate depreciation expense for the second year.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year using the straight line method is shown below:
As we know that
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($90,000) ÷ (3 years)
= $30,000
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life
Hence, the second year depreciation expense is $30,000
Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%
2 430,000 40%
3 630,000 35%
To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $150,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 10%.
Required:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.
Answer:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
$2,104,430b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.
Date X, 2021, acquisition of copper mine
Dr Copper mine 2,104,430
Cr Cash 1,780,000
Cr Asset retirement liability 324,430
July 1, 2021, acquisition of mining equipment
Dr Equipment 150,000
Cr Cash 150,000
Explanation:
estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000
now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430
total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430
The inflation rate over the past year was 1.8 percent. If an investment had a real return of 7.2 percent, what was the nominal return on the investment
Answer:
9.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the nominal return on the investment is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal interest rate = {(1 + real interest rate) × (1 + inflation rate)} - 1
= {(1 + 0.072) × (1 + 0.018)} - 1
= (1.072 × 1.018) - 1
= 9.13%
Hence, the nominal interest rate could be find out by applying the above formula i.e by considering the real interest rate and the inflation rate
A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Pablo Hand, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal designs, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project. Suppose Hand had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that he could work on his sculptures near the location at which they would eventually be installed. He entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Bridges by Madison. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Bridges by Madison was bound by the contract that Hand entered? Help please here is the multiple choices
Answer:
Bridges by Madison and Hand
Agreement by Hand for a Warehouse:
1. Yes - when they agreed to work together, this implied that they would agree to be liable for each other's contracts.
Explanation:
This is especially as far as this joint project is concerned. Since the purpose of the warehouse was to further and fulfill the project, the agreement entered into by hand for a warehouse affects Bridges by Madison.
In a joint venture, every aspect of the project's lifetime is shared: shared profits, shared losses, shared rewards, shared risks, shared obligations and responsibilities, shared rights and privileges until the end of the project, which also ends the joint venture, unless there is a binding agreement to the contrary. In such a case, Hand would not have been a joint-venturer but a sub-contractor.

The standard deviation of return on investment A is 25%, while the standard deviation of return on investment B is 20%. If the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is −0.260, the covariance of returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice –0.2080 –0.0130 0.0130 0.2080
Answer: –0.0130
Explanation:
Correlation given the variance and the standard deviation of the two returns can be calculated by;
Correlation coefficient = Covariance of returns on investment A and B / (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B).
Rearranging the formula, Covariance becomes;
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = Correlation coefficient * (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B)
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = -0.260 * 0.25 * 0.20
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = –0.0130

Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08
Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%
( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant 0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)
Explanation:
Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )
Rf =Risk free return = 3.6
Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%
A) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.89, 7.83%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.52 12.59%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.25 11.27%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced
c) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.27 14.50%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced
d) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.80 10.08%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) = 10.08%---- Correctly priced

Use the following information for Shafer Company to compute inventory turnover for year 2.
Year 2 Year 1
Net sales $647,500 $582,000
Cost of goods sold 389,500 360,840
Ending inventory 76,700 79,380
a. 9.98
b. 9.98
c. 5.08
d. 4.99
e. 8.30
f. 8.44
Answer:
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
So option d is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Inventory turnover ratio is an accounting ratio which is used to determine the number of times the average level of inventory is sold off and replaced in a particular period. The formula to calculate the inventory turnover times is,
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Where,
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = (79380 + 76700) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = $78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 389500 / 78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times

A company budgets 10,000 units of sales based on a projected selling price of $13.00. The actual units sold were 15,000 at a price of $10. What is the flexible budget for sales?
Answer:
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000
Explanation:
A flexible budget is that which is prepared for actual level of activity achieved. It is used for control purpose to determine how where the a business is doing in terms of performance .
The flexible budgeted is usually prepared at the end of the period to which it relates. In other words, it is prepared in retrospect. And it uses the assumptions of the fixed budget.
The flexible budget for sales = actual sales in units × Standard selling price
= 15,000× $13.00 = $195,000
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000
On September 1, the company acquired five acres of land with a building that will be used as a warehouse. Tristar paid $120,000 in cash for the property. According to appraisals, the land had a fair value of $85,400 and the building had a fair value of $54,600. On September 1, Tristar signed a $42,000 noninterest-bearing note to purchase equipment. The $42,000 payment is due on September 1, 2022. Assume that 9% is a reasonable interest rate. On September 15, a truck was donated to the corporation. Similar trucks were selling for $2,700. On September 18, the company paid its lawyer $4,000 for organizing the corporation. On October 10, Tristar purchased maintenance equipment for cash. The purchase price was $17,000 and $600 in freight charges also were paid. On December 2, Tristar acquired various items of office equipment. The company was short of cash and could not pay the $5,700 normal cash price. The supplier agreed to accept 200 shares of the company's no-par common stock in exchange for the equipment. The fair value of the stock is not readily determinable. On December 10, the company acquired a tract of land at a cost of $22,000. It paid $3,000 down and signed a 11% note with both principal and interest due in one year. Eleven percent is an appropriate rate of interest for this note.

The liquidity trap _____. rev: 06_20_2018 Multiple Choice makes expansionary monetary policy less effective makes contractionary monetary policy less effective makes expansionary fiscal policy less effective makes contractionary fiscal policy less effective
Answer:
Makes expansionary monetary policy less effective
Explanation:
A liquidity trap occurs when interest rates are already so low, that most of the public prefer to hold money as cash, instead of investing in bonds and other interest-bearing securities.
In a situation like this, expansionary monetary policy becomes less effective, because the central bank cannot boost the economy anymore by lowering interest rates (interest rates are lowered by increasing the money supply) because most of the public prefers to hold money as cash, and the interest rate is very low already.

Paid-In Capital:
Preferred Stock—5%, $11 Par Value; 150,000
shares authorized, 20,000
shares issued and outstanding $220,000
Common Stock—$2 Par Value; 575,000 s
hares authorized, 380,000
shares issued and outstanding 760,000

Total Paid-In Capital 1,660,000
Retained Earnings 200,000
Total Stockholders' Equit $1,860,000
Requirement 1. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative, compute the amount of dividends to preferred stockholders and to common stockholders for 2018 and 2019 if total dividends are $9,000 in 2018 and $45,000 in 2019. Assume no changes in preferred stock and common stock in 2019.
2. Record journal entries for 2018 assuming Northern communication declared dividend on Dec 31.
Answer:
2018
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $9,000
Common Stock Dividend = $0
2019
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $13,000
Common Stock Dividend = $32,000
Journal Entry
Dec 31
Dividend : Preference Stock $11,000 (debit)
Cash $9,000 (credit)
Shareholders for dividends $2,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Preference Stockholders have preference over Common Stockholders when it comes to payments of dividends.
That means preference dividends are paid first then the remainder belongs to the Common Stockholders.
If Preference Stocks are cumulative, dividends in arrears not paid in previous years are carried over to the next year and these have to be paid up before any distributions for that year are made.
Calculation of Stock Dividend
Stock Dividend gives a fixed dividend to Preference Stockholders every year.
Stock Dividend = ( $220,000 × 5%) = $11,000
2018
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $9,000
Preferred Stock Dividend in Arrears = $2,000
Common Stock Dividend = $0
2019
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = ($2,000 - In-arrears + $11,000 - Current Year) = $13,000
Preferred Stock Dividend in Arrears = $0
Common Stock Dividend = ($45,000 - $13,000) = $32,000
WACC and Cost of Common Equity
Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 45% common equity and 55% debt to fund its $10 billion in operating assets. Furthermore, Kahn Inc. has a WACC of 12%, a before-tax cost of debt of 10%, and a tax rate of 25%. The company's retained earnings are adequate to provide the common equity portion of its capital budget. Its expected dividend next year (D1) is $3, and the current stock price is $34.
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
Answer:
A. What is the company's expected growth rate?
current stock price = expected dividend / (required rate of return - growth rate)
$34 = $3 / (12% - g)
12% - g = $3 / $34 = 8.82%
growth rate = 12% - 8.82% = 3.18%
B. If the firm's net income is expected to be $1.6 billion, what portion of its net income is the firm expected to pay out as dividends?
WACC = (equity x Re) + [debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)]
12% = (45% x Re) + (55% x 10% x 0.75) = 0.45Re + 4.125%
0.45Re = 12% - 4.125% = 7.875%
Re = 7.875% / .45 = 17.5%
growth rate = (net income / equity) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = ($1.6 billion / $4.5 billion) x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
3.18% = 0.3556 x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
1 - dividend payout ratio = 3.18 / 0.3556 = 0.089
dividend payout ratio = 1 - 0.089 = 0.911
this means that the company distribute 91.1% of its net income to its stockholders
Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
$ 1,781.53
Explanation:
The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years
PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500
r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%
n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years
FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5
FV=$1500*1.187686306
FV=$ 1,781.53

Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $65,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $5,500). Mountain High anticipates a $3,500 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 3% fee (3% of $65,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met.
Answer:
Dr Cash 56,550
Dr Receivable from factor 5,500
Dr Loss on sale of receivables 6,450
Cr Accounts receivables 65,000
Cr Recourse liability 3,500
Explanation:
cash = ($65,000 x 90%) - factoring fees = $58,500 - $1,950 = $56,550
factoring fees = $65,000 x 3% = $1,950
loss on sale of receivables (includes factoring fees) = (accounts receivables + recourse liability) - (cash + receivable from factor) = ($65,000 + $3,500) - ($56,550 + $5,500) = $68,500 - $62,050 = $6,450
Koczela Inc. has provided the following data for the month of May:
Inventories:
Beginning Ending
Work in process $ 25,000 $ 20,000

Additional information:
Direct materials $ 65,000
Direct labor cost $ 95,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 71,000
Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 69,000

The cost of goods manufactured for May is:___________
$229,000
$234,000
$231,000
$236,000
Answer:
$234,000
Explanation:
cost of goods manufactured = beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead cost applied - ending work in process
cost of goods manufactured = $25,000 + $65,000 + $95,000 + $69,000 - $20,000 = $234,000
cost of goods sold = beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory + underapplied overhead
cost of goods sold = $54,000 + $234,000 - $58,000 + $2,000 = $232,000
