Answer:
Explanation:
The discussion or focus is on PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
You are on a team project that is running behind schedule. You and your project team are 3 months into an 8-month project.
There is a deficiency in both time management and money management.
For the project to be 3 months old, out of 8 months, then it's already in the execution stage.
Being behind schedule by 2.5 weeks implies that you have spent 2.5 weeks extra, achieving what you ought to achieve without or before the extra time. Discuss with your project team and make them more active in delivering their tasks. Time is crucial. Time is money also.
You're 15% over budget, hence you've spent 15% more than you should. Check the vendors of items and tools used in the project. You might have to change them if their products are too costly. Ensure proper accounting also. Do not disburse funds without the consultation and approval of team members who are finance experts.
In all, not more than 2 days or thereabout should be used in making these adjustments because time and money are equally pertinent!

Answer:
Note: The missing part of the question is "using variable costing and absorption costing. Explain the difference"
Solution
According to variable costing, the unit cost based was
= $8.20 + $11.20 + $9.20
= $28.6
According to absorption costing,
Total Manufacturing costs= Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead
= $8.20 + $11.20 + ($386,400/42,000 units) + $9.20
= $8.20 + $11.20 + $9.2 + $9.2
= $37.8
The difference between the variable costing and the absorption cost is because the product costing using variable costing method only includes variable costs.

$229,000
$234,000
$231,000
$236,000
Answer:
$234,000

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

A plant asset is acquired by a business on January 2, 20X6, for $10,000. The asset's estimated residual value is $2,000 and it's estimated useful life is 5 years. Management chooses to use straight-line depreciation. On January 2. 20X8. the asset is sold for $5,000. The entry to record the sale has what effect on the financial statements? a. Assets decrease, expenses increase, and net income and owners' equity decrease. b. Assets decrease and owners' equity and expenses both increase. c. Has no effect on the financial statements if the journal entry is in balance. d. Assets increase, expenses decrease, and net income and owners' equity increase.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
From the calculation below, it is clearly seen that Assets are being decreased and expenses are increased therefore Option A is correct.
Workings
Depreciation expense = (cost - residual value) / useful life
Depreciation expense = 10,000 - 2,000 / 5
Depreciation expense = $1600
Accumulated depreication = depreciation x 2 years -= $3,200
Carrying value = 10,000 - 3,200
Carrying value = $6,800
Disposal = $5,000
Loss on disposal = $1,800

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

The comparative cash flow statements from Sears and Wal-Mart are presented above. Amounts presented are in millions. Review both statements considering what you've learned in this chapter about the cash flow statement. Answer the following questions: When analyzing a company's cash flow statement, which section of the statement (operating, investing or financing) do you believe is the best predictor of a company's future profitability? Why? Which company do you believe is healthier based on the cash flow statements presented? Provide at least two specific examples from the statements. Your initial post is due four (4) days prior to the discussion due date or points will be deducted from your discussion score. Please review the discussion board requirements above.
The complete question is attached.
Answer:
Sears Holding Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
1. The section of the cash flow statement that is the best predictor of a company's future profitability is the Operating Activities Section. The reason is that the operating activities section shows the net cash from operating activities or the core business activities of the entity. A business entity's profitability is not determined by subsidiary activities like financing and investing activities. But it is ascertained by reviewing its operating activities which also define the mission of the business and show the strategies it can deploy to attain its goals.
2. Walmart Stores, Inc. is by far healthier than Sears Holdings Corporation, at least based on the January 30, 2016 statements of cash flows. For instance, Walmart Stores recorded a Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $27,389 million while Sears recorded a negative Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $2,167 million. Again, from the operating activities sections, one can see that Walmart Stores, Inc. was able to make a net income before adjustments of $15,080 million, whereas Sears Holding Corporation performed abysmally poor by incurring a net loss of $1,128 million.
Explanation:
The Sears and Walmart's statements of cash flows are one of the three main financial statements prepared and presented by Sears Holding Corporation or Walmart Stores, Inc. to its stockholders and the general public to show financial information about its activities. Specifically, the statements of cash flows for Sears and Walmart show the flow of cash under three main activity headings: operating, financing, and investing.
Two methods can be used by Sears and Walmart to prepare the statement. They include the indirect method, which starts from the net income, and the direct method, which shows the cash inflows and outflows for each cash flow item for Sears and Walmart.
Mary buys an annuity that promises to pay her $1,500 at the end of each of the next 20 years. The appropriate interest rate is 7.5%. What is the value of this 20-year annuity today?
Answer:
PV= $15,291.74
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= $1,5000
Number of years= 20
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the future value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,500*[(1.075^20) - 1]} / 0.075
FV= $64,957.02
Now, we can calculate the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 64,957.02/(1.075^20)
PV= $15,291.74
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

These include a patent on Ledtwicj's primary product, a device called a plentiscope. Leftwich carried the patent on its book for $1,500, but Holthausen believes that the fair value is $200,000. The patent expires in seven years, but companies can be expected to develop competing patents within three years. Holthausen believes that, with expected technlogical improvements, the product is marketable for a t least 20 years.
The registration of the trademark for the Leftwich name is scheduled to expire in 15 years. However, the Leftwich brand name, which Holthausen believes is worth $500,000, could be applied to related products for many years beyond that.
As part of the acquisition, Leftwich's principal researcher left the company. As part of the acquisition, he signed a five-year noncompetition agreement that prevents him from developing competing products. Holthausen paid the scientist $300,000 to sign the agreement.
a. What amount should be capitalized for each of teh identifiable intangible assets?
b. What amount of amortization expense should Holthausen record in 2016 for each asset?
Answer:
Holthausen Company and Leftwich Company
Intangible Assets:
a) Amount to be capitalized:
1) Patent: $200,000
2) Trademark: $500,000
3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000
b) Amount of Amortization Expense for 2016:
1) Patent: $200,000/7 years = $28,571.43
2) Trademark: $500,000/15 years = $33,333,33
3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000/5 = $60,000
Explanation:
The fair values of the "plentiscope" patent and Leftwich's branded trademark should be capitalized as intangible assets, while the cost of the non-competition agreement with Leftwich's principal researcher should be capitalized.
For the amortization of the Leftwich-connected intangibles, we have adopted the straight-line method, in the absence of any prescribed method. The patent expiration in 7 years was used as the basis for its useful life, despite Holthausen belief that the product could be marketable for at least 20 years.
The trademark was amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years as given, while the non-competition agreement was amortized for 5 years when the agreement remains effective.

Equipment $150,000
Acc. Depreciation 112,000
Book value $38,000
Cash received $38,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equipment Account:
Beginning balance $750,000
Ending balance 600,000
Sale of equipment $150,000
Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment account:
Beginning balance $500,000
Depreciation expense 40,000
Ending balance 428,000
Sale of Equipment $112,000
b) The Cash received from the sale of Mercury Company's equipment is equal to the book value in Year 2 according to the question. Since the book value (value after accumulated depreciation) is $38,000, that means that the equipment was sold at $38,000 recording no profit or loss for the company on the sale.

XYZ Corporation’s bonds have 14 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, the bonds have a $1,000 par value, and the coupon interest rate is 10%. The bonds sell at a price of $950. What is their yield to maturity? Show your work.
Answer:
The answer is 10.71%
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 14 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $950
PMT( coupon payment) = $100 ( 10 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 14; PV= -950 ; PMT = 100; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 10.71
Therefore, the yield to maturity of the bond is 10.71%
Assignment: Capital Budgeting Decisions Your company is considering undertaking a project to expand an existing product line. The required rate of return on the project is 8% and the maximum allowable payback period is 3 years.
time 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Cash flow $ 10,000 2,400 4,800 3,200 3,200 2,800 2,400
Evaluate the project using each of the following methods. For each method, should the project be accepted or rejected? Justify your answer based on the method used to evaluate the project’s cash flows.
A. Payback period
B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
C. Simple Rate of Return
D. Net Present Value
Answer:
A. Payback period
payback period = 2.875 years, therefore, the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than 3 years.B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
IRR = 22.69%, therefore, the project should be accepted since the IRR is higher than the required rate of return (8%).C. Simple Rate of Return
simple rate of return = 18%, therefore, the project should be accepted because the simple rate of return is higher than the required rate of return.D. Net Present Value
NPV = $4,647.85 , therefore, the project should be accepted since the NPV is positive.Explanation:
year cash flow
0 -$10,000
1 $2,400
2 $4,800
3 $3,200
4 $3,200
5 $2,800
6 $2,400
discount rate 8%
I used a financial calculator to determine the NPV and IRR.
Payback period = $10,000 - $2,400 - $4,800 = $2,800 / $3,200 = 0.875
payback period = 2.875 years
simple rate of return:
average cash flow = ($2,400 + $4,800 + $3,200 + $3,200 + $2,800 + $2,400) / 6 = $3,467
depreciation expense per year = $10,000 / 6 = $1,667
simple rate of return = ($3,467 - $1,667) / $10,000 = 18%
Playa Inc. owns 85 percent of Seashore Inc. During 20X8, Playa sold goods with a 25 percent gross profit to Seashore. Seashore sold all of these goods in 20X8. How should 20X8 consolidated income statement items be adjusted g
Answer:
Debit the Cost of Sales and,
Credit the Revenue.
Explanation:
Transactions that occur within a group of companies must be eliminated. Playa is a Parent (85%) and Seashore Inc is a Subsidiary.
The effect of the Sale by Playa to Seashore is that Group Cost of Sales and Revenue would be over-valued by the price of intragroup sale.
Thus, the adjustment for this intragroup sale, is to Debit the Cost of Sales and Credit the Revenue.
An account is today credited with its annual interest thereby bringing the accountbalance to $12,490. The interest rate is 5.70% compounded annually. You plan tomake annual withdrawals of $1,450 each. The first withdrawal is in exactly one yearand the last in exactly 9 years. Find the account balance immediately after the lastwithdrawal.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the account balance be B .
Equating the present value of money at 5.7 % discount
12490 = 1450 ( PVIFA , 5.7 , 9 ) + B ( PVIF , 5.7 , 9 )
= 1450 x 6.8938 + .6072 x B
= 9996.01 + .6072B
.6072 B = 2494
B = 4107
On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.
At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:
Revenues 65,550 Machine 13,590 Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250 Other assets 27,710 Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300 Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000
Required:
Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.
Answer:
Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520
Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200
Explanation:
To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;
Revenue $65,550
Expenses $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)
Net Income $26,300
Noncontrolling percentage = 40%
NonControlling Income = $10,520
Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]
= 3,200
The burn down chart for a team showed a peculiar trend. It started dropping rapidly at the beginning of the Sprint and then seemed to plateau in the middle. A day before the Sprint, the line dipped rapidly and reached the horizontal axis. Whiat is the most likely reason for this trend?
Answer:
Explanation:
In the scenario being described, it is the most likely that the team encountered a major blocking issue in the middle of the Sprint which was resolved only toward the end. This can be deduced from the graph due to it plateauing in the middle, which usually happens when tasks are not finishing, which ultimately causes a blocking issue and since the chart went back to normal afterwards, they most likely resolved the blocking issue.
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.
The manufacturer Mike and Ike, the fruit-flavored chewy candies, has changed its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12- to 17-year-olds. What type of market segmentation identifies its market
Answer:
Demographic
Explanation:
A market is segmented so as to narrow down a large market into a narrow base, or a target market. This helps the organization to be better focused on providing its services to these target groups of people. A market can be segmented on the basis of demography, psychography, behavior, and geography. Demography deals more with statistical data of the population being studied and would typically include; age, gender, race, income levels, etc.
So, when the manufacturer Mike and Ike changes its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12-17-years-old, he has segmented the market according to demography and age.
