Answer:
The solution shows that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%.
Explanation:
The IRR or internal rate of return is the rate at which NPV or Net Present Value of the investment becomes zero. We are provided with the initial outlay for the project and the annual cash inflows along with time period. Using the annuity factors given below, we need to find out the factor which makes the NPV zero. The NPV is calculated as follows,
NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Initial Outlay
We can try out each annuity factor and see what NPV is generates.
1. 6% rate (Annuity factor = 5.582)
NPV = (30000 * 5.582) - 146040
NPV = $21420
2. 8% rate (Annuity factor = 5.206)
NPV = (30000 * 5.206) - 146040
NPV = $10140
3. 10% rate (Annuity factor = 4.868)
NPV = (30000 * 4.868) - 146040
NPV = $0
So, from the above solution we can see that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%

A firm has to choose between two technologies; both produce same output with one being labor intensive and other being capital intensive. The firm will use labor intensive technology when _________________. Select the correct answer below: wages are less than the interest rate total cost of labor is less than total cost of capital average variable cost is less than average fixed cost labor is more productive than capital
Answer:
total cost of labor is less than total cost
Explanation:
In the case when the firm would use the labor intensive technology at the time when the marginal product from labor intensive would be more than the marginal product of capital intensive this is due to the rise in the firm benefit as the firm would produce and sell more
The other thing is that the cost of labor intensive would be less than the capital intensive cost. This cost would benefit the organization with respect to the decision making

On April 1, Dallow, Inc. factored $160,000 of its accounts receivable without recourse. The factor retained 10% of the accounts receivable as an allowance for sales returns and charged a 5% commission on the gross amount of the factored receivables. What amount of cash did Dallow receive from the factored receivables
Answer:
$136,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Amount receivable = $160,000
Allowance for sales return = 10% × $160,000 = $16,000
Commission = 5% × $160,000 = $8,000
So, amount of cash from factored receivables can be calculated by using following formula,
Cash from factored receivables = Amount receivable - Allowance for sales return - Commission
= $160,000 - $16,000 - $8,000
= $136,000
Green Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $43 to buy from farmers and $14 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $19 or processed further for $18 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $51. The beet juice can be sold as is for $34 or processed further for $22 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $51.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar?
Answer:
Financial advantage $5
Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company is shown below:
Combined sales value ($51 + $51) $102
Less: further processing ($18 + $22) -$40
Sugar beets cost -$43
Cost to crush -$14
Financial advantage $5
We simply deduct all cost from the revenue so that the financial advantage or disadvantage could come

Desert Company issued $3,158,061 of 12% bonds on January 1, 2021. The market rate of interest at that time was 9%. The bonds pay interest quarterly each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. What is the amount of the cash payment Desert is legally obligated to pay its creditor each quarter?
Answer:
Quarterly Interest Payment = $94741.83
Explanation:
The amount of interest payment made by coupon bonds depends on the coupon rate they carry regardless of what the interest rate in market is. Thus Desert will have to pay annual coupon rate of 12% of the face value of the bond. However, as the coupon payments are made quarterly, the quarterly interest that will be paid by Desert will be,
Quarterly Interest Payment = 3158061 * 12% * 1/4
Quarterly Interest Payment = $94741.83
Piedmont Company segments its business into two regions—North and South. The company prepared the contribution format segmented income statement as shown: Total Company North South Sales $ 825,000 $ 550,000 $ 275,000 Variable expenses 495,000 385,000 110,000 Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000 Traceable fixed expenses 156,000 78,000 78,000 Segment margin 174,000 $ 87,000 $ 87,000 Common fixed expenses 69,000 Net operating income $ 105,000 Required: 1. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region. (For all requirements, round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Piedmont Company
1. Companywide break-even point in dollar sales
= $562,500
2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region
= $260,000
3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region
= $130,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contribution format segmented income statement:
Total Company North South
Sales $ 825,000 $ 550,000 $ 275,000
Variable expenses 495,000 385,000 110,000
Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000
Traceable fixed expenses 156,000 78,000 78,000
Segment margin 174,000 $ 87,000 $ 87,000
Common fixed expenses 69,000
Net operating income $ 105,000
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Sales
= $330,000/$825,00 = 0.40
For the north = $165,000/$550,000 = 0.30
For the south = $165,000/$275,000 = 0.60
Break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio
Companywide break-even point in dollar sales = $225,000/0.40
= $562,500
Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region = $78,000/0.30
= $260,000
Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region = $78,000/0.60
= $130,000
Absorption and Variable Costing Comparisons: Production Equals Sales Assume that Smuckers manufactures and sells 30,000 cases of peanut butter each quarter.
The following data are available for the third quarter of 2017.
Total fixed manufacturing overhead.......................................................90,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses........... .. . .. . .. . . . . .. . . . . . 20,000
Sale price per case..................................................................................32
Direct materials per case .......................................................................15
Direct labor per case ........................................................................6
Variable manufacturing overhead per case ..........................................3
a. Compute the cost per case under both absorption costing and variable costing.
b. Reconcile any differences in income. Explain.
c. Compute te net income under both absorption costing and variable costing.
Answer:
a. Cost per case under Absorption costing:
= Direct materials per case + Direct labor per case + Variable manufacturing overhead per case + Fixed manufacturing overhead per case
= 15 + 6 + 3 + 90,000/ 30,000 cases
= $27
Cost per case under Variable costing:
= Direct materials per case + Direct labor per case + Variable manufacturing overhead per case
= 15 + 6 + 3
= $24
b. First we need to calculate income under both methods:
Under Absorption costing:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and Admin expenses
= (30,000 cases * 32) - (30,000 * 27) - 20,000
= $130,000
Under Variable Costing:
= Sales - Cost of Goods sold - Fixed manufacturing overhead - Selling and Admin expenses
= (30,000 * 32) - (30,000 * 24) - 90,000 - 20,000
= $130,000
There is no difference in income because the cases manufactured equals the cases sold.

A company issues the following bonds on June 1, 2002. Series A (counts as two) Series B $50 million BBB June 1, 2030 June 1, 2008 100 Par Value Rating Maturity Call date Call price $50 million BBB June 1, 2030 Non-callable -- If both bonds have the same market liquidity, the yield-to-maturity on the Series A bond should be [ ] than yield-to-maturity on Series B bond. a) higher b) lower c) the same d) either higher or lower(depending notherfactors)
Answer: a. Higher
Explanation:
Series A is a callable bond which means that the company will be able to buy it back after a certain period of time at a price dictated in the contract.
This provision is an advantage to the Issuer but not the investors so the Issuer will have to pay the investors more to get them to buy the bond even with the presence of this provision.
This additional payment will come in the form of a higher yield. This is why callable bonds have higher yields than non-callable comparable bonds.

Kennedy Inc. has the following data for its operation in August: Increase in direct materials inventory 100 Sets Direct materials purchased (AQ) 1,600 Sets Finished goods manufactured 700 units Direct materials purchase-price variance $ 400 Favorable Budgeted Finished goods to manufacture 800 Units Direct materials purchases 2,000 Sets Direct materials per unit of finished goods 2 Sets Direct materials price per set (SP) $ 3.60 What was the actual purchase price (AP) per set of direct materials purchased (to two decimal places)
Answer:
Actual price= $1.6 per unit
Actual price= $3.2 per set
Explanation:
To calculate the actual price, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
400= (1.8 - actual price)*2,000
400= 3,600 - 2,000actual price
2,000actual price = 3,200
actual price= $1.6 per unit

Pharmicon, Inc., a pharmaceutical firm, discovered a complete cure for the common cold. The medicine could be put into a pill that would be taken once a day for a week. Knowing these results, directors of Pharmicon decided to delay the press release and bought thousands of shares of Pharmicon stock. After the purchases, Pharmicon issued a press release about the pill. The price of the stock skyrocketed. When the SEC found out about the purchases and the delay in the press release, it sued Pharmicon for violating Rule 10b-5. The court in this case would most likely rule in favor of Group of answer choices
Question Completion:
a. the SEC, because the information about the cure was material and was not disclosed to the public prior to the directors' purchase of the stock.
b.Pharmicon, because the information was not material.
c.the SEC, because owning company stock is a conflict of interest for the directors.
d.Pharmicon, because they issued a press release to the public
Answer:

The court in this case would most likely rule in favor of:
a. the SEC, because the information about the cure was material and was not disclosed to the public prior to the directors' purchase of the stock.
Explanation:
SEC's Rule 10b-5 forbids insider trading and, therefore, enables the SEC to sue individuals who use the privileged information they acquire about an entity's security to buy or sell the entity's securities. The information may be acquired illegally or legally, provided it is not publicly available. Insider trading exists when a professional breaches a fiduciary duty or betrays the trust and confidence reposed in him by trading on a security based on material, nonpublic information about the security.
23. Maria, a new employee, noticed that her supervisor, Jasmine, approved an expense report submitted by a co-worker that resulted in the company for which they both worked paying for the co-worker's car repairs that were needed due to an accident that happened when co-worker was on a personal errand instead of company business. Jasmine's actions could encourage Maria to
Answer:
She failed to cover up the co-worker's improper claim of a personal expense on a company expense report.
Explanation:
Analyzing the above case, it is correct to say that the supervisor Jasmine failed to cover up the undue complaint of the co-worker, as the accident occurred when he was on a personal mission and unrelated to the company's business, which makes the company not has legal obligations to pay for repairs to his car and these are broken down in a company expense report like the one approved by Jasmine.
Therefore, the supervisor acted unethically and did not follow the company's legal regulations.

The management of Penfold Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $270,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $60,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 12% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:______.
a. $(11,700).
b. $(53,700).
c. $(269,997).
d. $(113,700).
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $270,000
Cash flow= $60,000
Number of years= 5
Discount rate= 12%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:
Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43
Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63
.....
Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57
Now, the NPV:
NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57
NPV= -53,713.43
A railroad company is required to pay 79,860, which is due three years from now. The company invests 15,000 in a bond with modified duration 1.80, and 45,000 in a bond with modified duration Dmod, to Redington immunize its position against small changes in the yield rate. The annual effective yield rate for each of the bonds is 10%. Calculate Dmod.
Answer:
3.04
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Dmod.
First step is to calculate the present value of the assets which also represent the present value of the liability
Present value of the assets =$15,000+$45,000
Present value of the assets = $60,000
Second step is to calculate the modified duration of the assets which is the weighted average
Modified duration of the assets=($15,000/$60,000)/1.80+$45,000/$60,000Dmod
Modified duration of the assets=0.25(1.80) + 0.75Dmod
Third step is to calculate the Modified duration of the liability
Modified duration of the liability =3/(1+0.1)
Modified duration of the liability =3/1.1
Now let calculate Dmod
Dmod = (3/1.1 – 0.45)/0.75
Dmod=(2.7272-0.45)/0.75
Dmod=2.2772/0.75
Dmod=3.036
Dmod=3.04 (Approximately)
Therefore Dmod is 3.04

Which of the following is not an advantage of delegating authority at Red Frog Events?
a
Delegation helps develop subordinates
b
Subordinates learn how to make decisions
c
Some managers are too disorganized to delegate appropriately
d
An event manager can get more work done
Answer:
c. Some managers are too disorganized to delegate appropriately
Explanation:
Generally, the advantage of delegating authority in a firm can be numerous. Hence, considering the question, the benefit of delegating authority at Red Frog Events is no different.
Therefore, considering the available options, the statement that is NOT an advantage of delegating authority at Red Frog Events is "Some managers are too disorganized to delegate appropriately."
In contrast, some of the advantages of delegating authority are:
1. Delegation helps develop subordinates: as subordinates take more authority in some cases, they grow in decision-making and overall growth.
2. Subordinates learn how to make decisions: as subordinates are allowed to make decisions, they learn to understand how to make proper decisions
3. An event manager can get more work done: when subordinates are delegated with authority, it helps the manager focus more on other areas that need his attention, thereby getting more work done.
Boenisch Corporation produces and sells a single product with the following characteristics: The company is currently selling 8,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $406,000 per month. Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $3. Since the new component would increase the features of the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 400 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer: Increase by $2,000
Explanation:
Current net operating income is:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (68 * 8,000) - 406,000
= $138,000
If component is added, Variable cost increases by $3 to $105. New contribution margin is:
= 170 - 105
= $65
Units sold increases by 400 to 8,400.
Net operating income becomes:
= (65 * 8,400) - 406,000
= $140,000
Net operating income increased by:
= 140,000 - 138,000
= $2,000
During 2019, Coronado Industries expected Job No. 26 to cost $300000 of overhead, $500000 of materials, and $200000 in labor. Coronado applied overhead based on direct labor cost. Actual production required an overhead cost of $370000, $610000 in materials used, and $260000 in labor. All of the goods were completed. What amount was transferred to Finished Goods?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we will compute the predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate
= Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated labor
= $300,000/$200,000
= 1.5
The next step is to apply the
= [(1.5 × $260,000) + $260,000 + $610,000]
= $390,000 + $260,000 + $610,000
= $1,260,000

Explanation:
After graduating from UCF, you plan to purchase a small condominium for $100,000. You will be required by the bank to put a down payment of 10% of the purchase price. You plan to finance the loan for 30 years. Assume monthly payments and a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 3%. What percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal
Answer:
Percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal is 41.95%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule for the first 25 months.
In the attached excel file, the monthly is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the balance to pay = Cost * (100% - Percentage of down payment) = $100,000 * (100% - 10%) = $90,000
P = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = Nominal rate / 12 = 3% / 12 = 0.25%, or 0.0025
n = number of months to repay = 30 years * 12 months = 360
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$90,000 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0025))^360) / 0.0025)
$90,000 = P * 237.189381504283
P = $90,000 / 237.189381504283
P = $379.44
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total payment for the first 25 months = $9,486.09
Total repayment of principal for the first 25 months = $3,979.17
Therefore, we have:
Percentage of the first 25 payments goes toward paying principal = (Total repayment of principal for the first 25 months / Total payment for the first 25 months) * 100 = ($3,979.17 / $9,486.09) * 100 = 41.95%
