Answer:
$29
Explanation:
The computation of return on investment per unit is shown below:-
Return on investment = Total Investment × Required Rate on Investment
= $12,566,667 × 18%
= $2,262,000.06
Return in investment per unit = Required ROI ÷ Total Rotors
= $2,262,000.06 ÷ 78,000
= $29
Therefore for computing the return on investment we simply applied the above formula.

Answer: Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.
Explanation:
The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.
Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.
The board of directors of Capstone Inc. declared a $0.60 per share cash dividend on its $1 par common stock. On the date of declaration, there were 54,000 shares authorized, 15,000 shares issued, and 4,000 shares held as treasury stock. What is the entry when the dividends are declared

Harpeth Valley Water District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.63 percent and semiannual payments. The bond matures in 23 years, with a yield to maturity of 4.17 percent, and a par value of $5,000. What is the market price of the bond
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 5000 * 0.0363 * 1/2 = $90.75
Total periods (n)= 23 * 2 = 46
r = 4.17% * 1/2 = 2.085% or 0.02085
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 90.75 * [( 1 - (1+0.02085)^-46) / 0.02085] + 5000 / (1+0.02085)^46
Bond Price = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12

Variable ($1 × 15,000 units) ($15,000)
Fixed ($ 174,000)
Net Income/ (Loss) $27,000
Explanation:
Absorption Costing :
Unit product cost = all manufacturing costs (fixed and variable)
= $14 + $5 + $1 + ($264,000 / 33,000)
= $28
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 33,000 units × $28
= $924,000
Closing Inventory = 18,000 units × $28
= $504,000
Variable Costing :
Unit product cost = variable manufacturing costs
= $14 + $5 + $1
= $20
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 33,000 units × $20
= $660,000
Closing Inventory = 18,000 units × $20
= $360,000

Explanation:
a) Data:
Property State Beginning Ending
Alabama $ 123,044 $ 204,241
Kentucky $ 203,317 $ 185,108
Mississippi $ 881,932 $ 1,002,396

A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 19.9 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $48,000, the interest for the year will be $9,552. Because you must repay a total of $57,552 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $57,552/12, or $4,796.00 per month over the next 12 months.
Required:
a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?
b. What is the effective annual rate?
Answer:
a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?
banks are required to quote the APR, which in this case is 19.9%b. What is the effective annual rate?
22.1%Explanation:
Annual percentage rate (APR) = [($9,552 / $48,000) / 365] x 365 x 100 = 19.9%
In this case, you should only divide $9,552 / $48,000 and then multiply by 100 since the loan only lasts one year.
effective annual rate = (1 + 0.199/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 0.2201 = 22.1%
Adams Bautista needs $26,700 in 8 years. Click here to view factor tables
Required:
a. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
b. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
Answer:
a. $10,783.68
b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding
Explanation:
a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.12^{8} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,783.68
He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.
b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.
12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum
Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,510.36
He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.
Wanda contracted to sell Mike 100 boxes of ball bearings.The contract did not specify a place of delivery.The ball bearings now reside at Wanda's place of business.Wanda refuses to ship the 100 boxes to Mike,and Mike refuses to come to Wanda's place of business to pick them up.Who is right? Why?
Answer:
Wanda is right since the contract did not specify a place of deliveryExplanation:
Wanda is right, since the contract did not specify the place of delivery or whether Wanda is expected to deliver the bearing to Mikes place.
If it is in Wanda terms of business that normally boxes above 100 when purchased, delivery is free and he defaults, then he is wrong, but in this case it was not specified who will bear the cost of shipping, and it is not in Wanda terms of business that delivery is free, so Wanda is right in my own opinion.

c. $175,000
d. $100,000
Answer:
1) d. $175,000
2) b. $156,250
Explanation:
1. The computation of net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method is shown below:-
Net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method = Janet Operating income + Slider operating income
= $100,000 + $75,000
= $175,000
2. The computation of income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 is shown below:-
income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 = Janet Operating income + (Slider operating income × Remaining percentage)
= $100,000 + ($75,000 × 75%)
= $100,000 + $56,250
= $156,250

The Book of Mormon is one of the biggest musical hits on Broadway. It has received many awards including Tony and Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket
Answer:
variable cost per ticket = $129.60
Explanation:
some information is missing and I looked it up:
30 performances per month
1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate
number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets
total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500
variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500
variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $7 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $9 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
Required:
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items?
Answer:
$1,400,000 per year
Explanation:
DATA
Patent = 7 million with 5years useful life
Trademark = 5 million with an indefinite life
Goodwill = 9million
Amortization =?
Solution
Amortization of patent = Patent Value/ Useful life
Amortization of patent = $7,000,000/5
Amortization of patent = $1,400,000 per year
NOTE: Trademark and goodwill will not be amortized as they have an indefinite useful life. Both Intangible assets will be tested for impairment instead.
Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander. What were the team's goals?
Answer:
• To ensure that there is no income leakage whatsoever
• Ensure that there is no customer complaint made to the company's executives
• Early closure not later than 5pm daily, Monday to Friday
• Ensure customer survey ratings of at least 8.0
• Drive paperless environment.
• Daily reconciliation of the bank's transit accounts.
Explanation:
I used to belong to a team called settlement and reconciliation , which is under operations support, business banking in one of the top financial institution.
The goals are as listed above. For instance as a settlement and reconciliation team, you must ensure accurate settlement of all merchants such that none would receive excess settlement s which could deplete the bank's income. Also, there must be no customer complaint escalated to the bank's executives hence team must promptly resolve all queries and complaint.
Another goal is to drive early closure. No member of staff must remain in the office after 5pm unless permission is obtained to deal urgent transaction. Each year, the bank conducts internal survey among departments to know how well we treat our internal and external stakeholders. The least score approved for my team is 8.0 out of 10 , which must be met.
Again, one of the goals of the bank is paperless drive which was included in each team or unit's goals. We support the drive for paperless transactions by suggesting means to consummate transactions without printing. We must also ensure daily and timely reconciliation of all our transit accounts in order to ensure that no idle fund is sitting in there.

Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?
Answer:
$293,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay in separation cost is shown below:
As there are 587 employees
but 10% are downsized
So, separation cost is
= Current employees × downsized percentage × received amount by workers
= 587 employees × 10% × $5,000
= $293,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount pay by the company with respect to the separation cost could arrive

Cerrone Inc. has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is:
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Opening stock of finished goods + Cost of goods sold - Closing stock of finished goods
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $79,000 + $361,600 - $72,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $368,600
The overhead applied is $112,000 and the actual manufacturing overhead is $118,400. As the actual manufacturing overhead is more than the overhead applied, the overhead is under applied as shown below
Under-applied Overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Overhead applied
= $118,400 - $112,000
= $6,400
Now, calculation of the adjusted cost of goods sold is as follow
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold + Under-applied Overhead
= $368,600 + $6,400
= $375,000
Thus, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $375,000
Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction
Answer:
Dr cash $3783
Dr factoring fee expense $177
Cr accounts receivable $3900
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.
Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00
Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117
Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900
how does being mindful of your strengths, skills, weaknesses, and potential challenges or obstacles impact your personal, academic, and professional growth?
Explanation:
It’s not unusual for people to compare themselves with others around them, and to feel superior or inferior towards them based on their strengths and their weaknesses.
The thing is, every individual is different and we all function differently based on our personalities. It is important to know yourself and your capacities.
Your strengths are things you can leverage on, things you can use to push yourself further.
On the other hand, your weaknesses are not your downfall. These are areas you need to improve on. It is not something you lack. It is something you need to develop and build.
In order to leverage your strengths and improve on your weaknesses, you first need to know them.
Answer:
Being mindful of my strengths, skills, and potential obstacles can significantly impact my personal, academic, and professional growth. When I am aware of my strengths, I can rely on them to complete tasks, sort of like leverage. They are also things that will help push me further in whatever aspect of life. Knowing my skills will also benefit me by knowing when to use them in certain situations. Learning my skills is also essential to understand when knowing when and how to use them. Also, when I am aware of my obstacles or challenges, it will help me find a way to avoid them or find a better way to accomplish something. It is also something that I know I need to work on and become better at, and without being aware of first, I wouldn’t be able to do that. When I am aware of how I function, it makes it easier for me to achieve my goals. I wouldn’t be able to grow in my personal, academic, or professional life if I wasn’t aware of those things. A saying that I learned throughout my recovery was “ to be aware is to be alive.” It is essential to know my benefits and downfalls within myself to be able to grow and become better in all areas of my life.
Explanation:
"A customer places an order with a registered representative to sell 5,000,000 shares of ABC stock (NYSE listed) "at the market." The registered representative should:"
Answer:
Contact the firm's large block trading desk.
Explanation:
The reason why the registered representative would contact the firm's large block trading desk is because the order is larger than what can be handled normally on the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor. Where large order as in the above is to be sold on the stock exchange floor, such would normally be presented to the firm's large block trading desk who will now decide on how best to handle the order; hence not the duty of registered representative.
Based on past experience, the trade desk would likely hand over the order to one of ABC's stock brokers for execution because for example, Super Display Book - NYSE automated system, which is responsible for dealing NYSE listed issues, has certain limited orders they can take.
Since stock prices will shift in response to unpredictable future news, these prices will tend to follow what mathematicians call _________________.
Answer:
a random walk with a trend
Explanation:
This model assumes that in each period the stock prices would take a random step away from what was its previous value.
Stock prices cannot be predicted therefore they are a random walk. Future prices cannot be predicted by what used to be the prices in the past. Stock prices change in response to unpredictable future news, hence they follow a random walk with a trend.

Journal Entry - to record the sale
Accumulated depreciation ($36,000 + $6,300) $42,300 (debit)
Cash $ 20,000 (debit)
Profit and Loss $700 (debit)
Equipment $63,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the time the asset is in use in the business.
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Estimated Useful Life
Equipment A
Depreciation Expense = $100,000 / 8 years
= $12,500
Depreciation Expense for 2012 = $12,500 × 6/12
= $6,250
Journal Entry - update depreciation
Depreciation expense $6,250 (debit)
Accumulated depreciation $6,250 (credit)
Journal Entry - to record the sale
Accumulated depreciation ($ 42,000 + $6,250) $48,250 (debit)
Cash $ 39,000 (debit)
Profit and Loss $12,750 (debit)
Equipment $100,000 (credit)
Equipment B
Depreciation Expense = $63,000 / 5 years
= $12,600
Depreciation Expense for 2012 = $12,600 × 6/12
= $6,300
Journal Entry - update depreciation
Depreciation expense $6,300 (debit)
Accumulated depreciation $6,300 (credit)
Journal Entry - to record the sale
Accumulated depreciation ($36,000 + $6,300) $42,300 (debit)
