he average borrowing rate for interest bearing debt is calculated as: Select one: A. Interest Expense divided by Average Interest-bearing Debt B. Interest Expense divided by Average Long-term Debt C. Interest Paid divided by Average Liabilities D. Interest Expense divided by Average Liabilities
Answer:
A. Interest Expense divided by Average Interest-bearing Debt
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
An interest-rate risk can be defined as the risk associated with bond owners due to fluctuating interest rates. This risk has a direct level of impact on the value of fixed income securities such as bonds.
An interest rate can be defined as an amount of money that is charged as a percentage of the total amount borrowed from an individual or a financial institution.
Mathematically, the average borrowing rate (ABR) for an interest bearing debt is calculated using the formula;
[tex] ABR = \frac {Interest \; Expense}{Average \; Interest \ bearing \; Debt} [/tex]

Nelson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $112,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $224,000 and have a 3 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $87,000, what is the payback period
Answer:
2 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the length of time it takes for the future cash flows to equal the initial investment.
$224,000 = $112,000 + $112,000
therefore,
It takes 2 years for the cashflows to equal initial investment
Sutherland manufactures and sells 50,000 laser printers each month. A principal component part in each printer is its paper feed drive. Sutherland's plant currently has the monthly capacity to produce 80,000 drives. The unit costs of manufacturing these drives (up to 80,000 per month) are as follows. Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 23 Direct labor 15 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 Fixed costs per month: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 1,300,000 Desk-Mate Printers has offered to buy 10,000 paper feed drives from Sutherland to be used in its own printers. a. Compute the average unit cost of manufacturing each paper feed drive assuming that Sutherland manufactures only enough drives for its own laser printers. b. Compute the incremental unit cost of producing an additional paper feed drive. c. Compute the per-unit sales price that Sutherland should charge Desk-Mate to earn $140,000 in monthly pretax profit on the sale of drives to Desk-Mate.
Answer:
Sutherland
a. The average unit cost of manufacturing each paper feed drive is:
= $56.25.
b. The incremental unit cost of producing an additional paper feed drive is:
= $170.
c. The per-unit sales price that Sutherland should charge Desk-Mate to earn $140,000 in monthly pre-tax profit on the sale of drives to Desk-Mate is:
= $184.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production and sales of laser printers per month = 50,000
Monthly production capacity for paper feed drives = 80,000
Unit costs of producing drives:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 23
Direct labor 15
Variable manufacturing overhead 2
Variable cost per unit $40 $3,200,000 (80,000 * $40)
Fixed costs per month:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,300,000
Total production costs = $4,500,000
Average unit cost = $56.25 ($4,500,000/80,000)
Incremental unit cost of producing an additional paper feed drive:
Variable cost = $40 * 10,000 = $400,000
Additional fixed cost per month = $1,300,000
Total incremental costs = $1,700,000
Unit cost = $170 ($1,700,000/10,000)
Total incremental costs = $1,700,000
Monthly pre-tax target profit 140,000
Expected sales revenue = $1,840,000
Sales price per drive = $184 ($1,840,000/10,000)

The risk-free rate of return is 10.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 17%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 1.5. Xyrong pays out 50% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $13 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 24% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock
Answer:
$88.24
Explanation:
The computation of the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is shown below;
k = risk free rate of retunr+ beta[expected market rate of return - risk free rate of return]
= 10.5% + 1.5(17% - 10.5%)
= 20.25%
Now
growth rate = b × ROE
= .5 × 24%
= 12%
Now the intrinsic value of the stock is
= (($13 × 50%) × (1 + 0.12)) ÷ (0.2025 - 0.12)
= $88.24
Your firm can make a product in-house for $11.50 per unit using new production equipment which would cost $30,000. Your firm could alternatively purchase the same item for $16.25 per unit using a legal contract which will cost $2000 to create and negotiate. What is the approximate break-even point
Answer:
The indifference point is 5,895 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In-house:
Unitary variable cost= $11.5
Fixed cost= 30,000
Buy:
Unitary variable cost= $16.25
Fixed cost= 2,000
To calculate the indifference point, we need to establish the total cost formulas for each option:
In-house:
Total cost= 30,000 + 11.5x
x= number of units
Buy:
Total cost= 2,000 + 16.25x
x= number of untis
Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:
30,000 + 11.5x = 2,000 + 16.25x
28,000 = 4.75x
5,895 = x
The indifference point is 5,895 units
Padayappa has now retired after 40 years of employment. He just made an annual deposit to his investment portfolio and realized he has $2,400,000 (not counting home, cars, furniture, etc.).

What equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year? $[______________ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is + -5. What is the buying power of his $2,400,000 in terms of a base 40 years ago? $[ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is + -50. If he could buy a TV 40 years ago for $500, what would a comparable one cost today if the consumer electronics inflation rate is -3 percent? Carry all interim calculations to S decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance Is + -1.
Answer: a. $12,022
b. $499,896
c. $148
Explanation:
a. What equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year?
Let the equal amount be represented by a.
Therefore, $2,400,000 = FV(7%,40,xa
Based on the information given in the question, we'll then use excel function,
a = PMT(7%, 40, 2400000)
= 12,022
Therefore, the equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year is $12022.
b. What is the buying power of his $2,400,000 in terms of a base 40 years ago?
Let the buying power be represented by x.
Based on the information given in the question,
x × (100% + 4%)^40 = 2,400,000
x × (1.04)^40 = 2400000
x × 4.8010 = 2400000
4.8010x = 2400000
x = 2400000/4.8010
x = 499,895.86
x = 499,896
Therefore, the buying power is $499,896.
c. If he could buy a TV 40 years ago for $500, what would a comparable one cost today if the consumer electronics inflation rate is -3 percent?
The price of TV today will be:
= $500 × (1 - 3%)^40
= $500 × (1 - 0.03)^40
= $500 × 0.97^40
= $500 × 0.29571
= $148
Therefore, the price of the tv will be $148

Explanation:
Road Master Shocks has 15,000 units of a defective product on hand that cost $80,000 to manufacture. The company can either sell this product as scrap for $6 per unit or it can sell the product for $9 per unit by reworking the units and correcting the defects at a cost of $40,000. Prepare a schedule to show the effect of selling the defective units as scrap or rework.
Answer:
If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 15,000
Sell as-is:
Selling price= $6 per unit
Rework:
Selling price= $9
Total cost= $40,000
The original production costs ($80,00) should not be taken into account because they remain constant for the two options.
Now, we will determine the effect on the income of both choices:
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 6*15,000= $90,000 increase
Re-work:
Revenue= 15,000*9= 135,000
Total cost= (40,000)
Effect on income0 $95,000 increase
If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.
A hospitality company is evaluating building a new hotel in Bloomington (capital project) that management forecasts will generate $45,000 each year over its six (6) year life. If the required rate of return given the project's identified risks is 12% (percent), and the project's up front costs are estimated at $165,000, should management go forward with the project?
a. Management should approve the new hotel since the project's NPV is positive.
b. Management should reject the new hotel project as the project's NPV is negative.
c. Unable to determine given information.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-165,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 6 = $45,000
I = 12%
NPV = $20,013.33
the project should be approved because NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

For convenience, pricing objectives can be divided into three categories. They are a. refundable, competitive, and attainable b. perceived, actual, and unique-situational c. differentiated, niche, and undifferentiated d. profit oriented, sales oriented, and status quo e. monopolistic, fixed, and variable
Answer:
d. profit oriented, sales oriented, and status quo
Explanation:
Pricing objectives are the philosophies that guides a business in setting prices of products and services for its customers.
Pricing objective is affected by marketing strategy, financial, and product goals.
For easy classification pricing objectives can be classified into profit oriented, sales oriented, and status quo.
Profit oriented objective is driven by the need for the business to turnover a profit. Sales volume may not be a priority so far the price means profit is generated.
Sales oriented objective is concerned mainly with sales volume of the product.
While status quo reflects the normal pricing of the product in the given market.
The Ashford Twins hired you as a consultant to estimate the company's WACC. You have obtained the following information. (1) The company's noncallable bonds mature in 20 years, have a coupon rate of 7.00% paid annually, a par value of $1,000, and a current market price of $850. (2) The company's tax rate is 28%. (3) The required rate of return on the company's common stock based on CAPM is 10.0%. (4) The target capital structure consists of 20% debt, with the remainder comprised of common equity. What is its WACC
Answer:
9.24 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :
Cost of Debt r is
Pv = - $850
Fv = $1,000
n = 20
p/yr = 1
pmt = $1,000 x 7.00% = $70
r = ??
Using a financial calculator r is 8.60 %
thus,
After tax cost of debt = 8.60 % x (1 - 0.28)
= 6.192 %
therefore
WACC = 10.0% x 80 % + 6.192 % x 20 %
= 9.2384 or 9.24 %
The company's WACC is 9.24 %
On June 17, the Lattern Company issued 120,000 shares of its $0.10 par value common stock in exchange for land. On the date of the transaction, the fair value of the common stock, evidenced by its market price, was $10 per share. The journal entry to record this transaction includes:

The journal entry lattern Company need to record is
Dr Land $1,200,000
------------ Cr Credit common shares $12,000
------------ Cr Paid in capital - Common shares $1,188,000
As 120,000 shares is exchanged, for the land and the share is traded in the exchange, the value of the land should be recorded at the market price of this
= 120,000 shares or 120,000 × $10 = $1,200,000
Common share account is recorded at lar value x number of shares issued = $0.1 × $120,000 = $12,000 while paid in capital common share account records the difference between market price and par value at the time of shares issuance or
= (10 - 0.1) × 120,000
= $1,188,000
Ahrends Corporation makes 70,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials $ 17.80 Direct labor 19.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.10 Unit product cost $ 54.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $48.50 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $273,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $8.20 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it
Answer:
$147,000
Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it is shown below;
Particulars Make Buy
Direct material $1,246,000 (70,000 × $17.80)
Direct labour $1,330,000 (70,000 × $17.80)
Variable manufacturing
overhead $70,000 (70,000 × $1)
Fixed manufacturing
overhead $623,000 (70,000 × ($17.10 - $8.20))
Purchase cost $3,395,000 (70,000 × $48.50)
Opportunity cost $273,000
Total cost $3,542,000 $3,395,000
So, the Advantage is
= ($3,542,000 - $3,395,000)
= $147,000
The financial advantage that Ahrends Corporation will get by purchasing the part rather than making it is $147,000.
Data and Calculations:
Number of units produced per year = 70,000
Direct materials $ 17.80
Direct labor 19.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00
Total variable costs = $37.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.10

On November 1, 2015, Ybarra Construction Company issued $400,000 of 5-year bonds that pay interest at an annual rate of 5%. The interest payments are due every six months (that is, the interest is compounded semi-annually). At the end of the five-year period, Ybarra must pay the bond holders a balloon payment of $400,000. a. What would the issue price of the bonds be if the prevailing interest rate is: Round answers to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
the question is incomplete, but I can give two examples of interest rate being higher or lower:
For example, interest rate is 6%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁰ = $297,637.57
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.5302 (PVIFA, 3%, 10 peridos) = $85,302
Market price = $382,939.57
Second example, interest rate is 4%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $328,139.32
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.9826 (PVIFA, 2%, 10 peridos) = $89,823
Market price = $417,962.32
On January 1, 2016, Belden, Inc. issued long-term notes payable for $50,000. The note will be paid over 10 years with payments of $5,000 plus 12% interest due each January 1, beginning January 1, 2017. Prepare the amortization schedule for the first three payments.
Answer:
Belden, Inc.
Amortization Schedule
Period PV PMT Interest Deduction Net Liability
2017 $50,000.00 $11,000.00 $6,000.00 $5,000.00 $45,000.00
2018 $45,000.00 $10,400.00 $5,400.00 $5,000.00 $40,000.00
2019 $40,000.00 $9,800.00 $4,800.00 $5,000.00 $35,000.00
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Long-terms payable = $50,000
Period of note = 10 years
First payment = $11,000 ($5,000 principal + $6,000 interest)
Interest rate = 12%
Long-term payable after January 1, 2017 = $45,000 ($50,000 - $5,000)
12% Interest on payable balance of $45,000 = $5,400
Second payment = $10,400 ($5,000 principal + $5,400 interest)
Long-term payable after January 1, 2018 = $40,000 ($45,000 - $5,000)
12% Interest on payable balance of $40,000 = $4,800
Third payment = $9,800 ($5,000 principal + $4,800 interest)
Long-term payable after January 1, 2019 = $35,000 ($40,000 - $5,000)
Blue Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $61,000. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $2,440 and a useful life of 195,200 miles. It was driven 28,060 miles in 2020 and 37,820 miles in 2021. Compute depreciation expense using the units-of-production method for 2020 and 2021.
Depreciation expense for 2020
Depreciation expense for 2021
Answer:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $8,418
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $11,346
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the units-of-production method is determined as follows :
Depreciation expense = Depreciation rate x annual usage
where,
Depreciation rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated usage
= ($61,000 - $2,440) ÷ 195,200 miles
= $0.30 per mile
thus,
Depreciation expense for 2020
Depreciation expense = $0.30 per mile x 28,060 miles
= $8,418
Depreciation expense for 2021
Depreciation expense = $0.30 per mile x 37,820 miles
= $11,346

Salaries payable increase = $18,500
Then, Cash paid for operating expenses during the year is computed by;
= Operating expenses + Prepaid rent increase - Salaries payable increase
= $955,000 + $27,000 - $18,500
= $963,500
Using the following balance sheet and income statement data, what is the current ratio? Current assets $ 32,000 Net income $ 42,000 Current liabilities 16,000 Stockholders' equity 78,000 Average assets 160,000 Total liabilities 42,000 Total assets 120,000 Average common shares outstanding was 15,000.
Answer:
2 times
Explanation:
Current ratio is computed by dividing the total assets by the total liabilities
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current assets = $32,000
Current liabilities = $16,000
Current ratio = $32,000 / $16,000
Current ratio = 2 times

Sarah’s first questions for you have to do with the general ideas and terminology used to evaluate variances. Provide answers to the following questions (1)-(3). 1. Why might Sarah want to use standard costs to compare with her actual costs? a. Standard costs give management a cost structure for products that is applicable for the entire life of the business. b. Standard costs allow management to motivate employees by comparing their performance to what it would be under perfect conditions. c. Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.
Answer:
Sarah
The reason for Sarah to want to use standard costs to compare with her actual costs is:
c) Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.
Explanation:
Standard costs provide a control technique for evaluating the performance of Sarah's company at three levels: a standard performance level, a measure of actual performance, and a measure of the difference (variance) between standard and actual costs. Sarah will also use the variances resulting from the comparison of standard costs with actual costs to measure the non-financial performance of the entity.
