Answer:
b. $51,000 and $5000.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Total Revenues = $140,000
Explicit cost = $15,000 + $50,000 + $4,000 + $20,000 = $89000
Implicit cost (opportunity cost) = $40,000 + $6,000 = $46,000
So, we can calculate accounting profit and economic profit by using following formula,
Accounting Profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost
By putting the value, we get
= $140,000 - $89,000
= $51,000
Economic Profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost
By putting the value, we get
= $140,000 - $89,000 - $46,000
= $5,000
Straight-Line Depreciation A building acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $2,200,000 has an estimated residual value of $400,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
a)
Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000
b)
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%
c)
Depreciation expense per year = $90000
Explanation:
a)
The depreciable cost is the cost that qualifies for depreciation. It is calculated as,
Depreciable Cost = Cost - Salvage Value
Depreciable Cost = 2200000 - 400000
Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000
b)
The straight line depreciation method charges a constant depreciation expense every period. The rate of straight line depreciation can be calculated as follows,
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = Depreciable cost percentage / Estimated useful life
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 100% / 20
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%
c)
The annual straight line depreciation expense can be calculated as follows,
Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable cost * Straight line depreciation rate
Depreciation expense per year = 1800000 * 0.05
Depreciation expense per year = $90000
art of the screening process when choosing which markets to expand to involves gathering information on local markets. One way to gain information is by participating in trade fairs and trade missions. However, companies will often need additional information on markets that require further research. Collecting primary data in foreign markets can present some challenges in researchers especially because of cultural and technical differences between the markets. Identify whether each statement about the research process is most likely associated with cultural differences between markets or technical differences. 1. A number of languages may be spoken in a country and even in countries where only one language is used, a word's meaning can change from one region to the next.
Answer:
1. Cultural differences between markets.
Explanation:
There are many language across the world. There are even many languages spoken in a single country. People living in one region will speak different language than those who live in other nearby region of the same country. The meanings of many words also changes in different languages. The word of English language have some meaning and same words may have different meaning in other languages.
Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Carol sells her stock on December 31 for $8,000. Because Burgundy’s stock is listed on a national exchange, Dave can ascertain that his shares are worth $8,000 on December 31. Does the Federal income tax law treat the decline in value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave? Explain.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.
Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.
With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.
Economists argue that the pace of economic growth: Determines the size of the population of a nation over the long term. Determines the standard of life of a nation over the long term. Determines the military capability of a nation over the long term. Determines the unemployment rate of a nation over the long term. Determines the environmental health of a nation over the long term.
Answer: Determines the standard of life of a nation over the long term.
Explanation:
Economists believe that the economic growth of a country determines the standard of living of its people over the long term which is why measures such as GDP per capita exist.
They argue that if the economy is growing, more wealth will be created for citizens to access and the higher production of goods and services will give citizens more choice on what to buy to be able to improve their standard of living.
In 2021, due to a change in marketing forecasts, Barney Corporation reduced the projected life of its patent for producing round dice. The cumulative patent amortization prior to 2021 would have been $18 million higher had the new life been used. Barney's tax rate is 25%. Barney's retained earnings as of December 31, 2021, would be:
Answer: unaffected
Explanation:
We should note that a retrospective adjustment isn't necessarily needed when there's an alternation to a accounting estimate.
With regards to this Barney's retained earnings as of December 31, 2021, would neither be understated or overstated but would be unaffected.

Required:
Compute cost of goods manufactured.
Answer:
$328,400
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Manufactured is calculated in Manufacturing Account as follows :
Cost of Goods Manufactured = Beginning Work In Process Inventory + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Work In Process Inventory
therefore,
Cost of Goods Manufactured = $13,000 + ($121,000 + $61,000 + $15,000 + $111,000 + $24,000) - $16,600
= $328,400
Florida Seaside Oil Exploration Company is deciding whether to drill for oil off the northeast coast of Florida. The company estimates that the project would cost $4.24 million today. The firm estimates that once drilled, the oil will generate positive cash flows of $2.12 million a year at the end of each of the next four years. While the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, it recognizes that if it waits two years, it would have more information about the local geology as well as the price of oil. Florida Seaside estimates that if it waits two years, the project would cost $4.59 million. Moreover, if it waits two years, there is a 85% chance that the cash flows would be $2.306 million a year for four years, and there is a 15% chance that the cash flows will be $0.705 million a year for four years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at a 8% WACC. Will the company delay the project and wait until they have more information
Answer:
The company will invest now and not delay
Explanation:
In order to determine the better option, we have to determine the Net present value of each of the option.
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
The option with the higher NPV would be chosen
First option
Cash flow in year 0 = $-4.24 million
Cash flow in year 1 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 2 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 3 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 4 = $2.12 million
I = 8%
NPV = 2.78 million
Second option
NPV of the cash flow with $2.306 million a year for four years
Cash flow in year 0 = 0
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.
Cash flow in year 3 = $2.306
Cash flow in year 4 = $2.306 million
Cash flow in year 5 = $2.306 million
Cash flow in year 6 = $2.306 million
I = 8
NPV = $2.61 million
NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 0 = 0
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.
Cash flow in year 3 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 4 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 5 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 6 = $0.705 million
I = 8 %
NPV = -1.93 million
NPV of the second option = (0.85 x $2.61 million) + (0.15 x 0) = $2.22 million
The NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million is zero because the NPV is negative and thus would not be undertaken.
The company will invest now and not delay because the NPV of not waiting is greater than the NPV of delaying
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
C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%
Answer:
6.52%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
New machine cost = $808,200
Scrap sold = $22,800
Cost of investment = $808,200 - $22,800 = $785,400
Saving from new machine = $141,000
Annual depreciation of machine = $89,800
Net operating income = $141,000 - $89,800 = $51,200
Now we can calculate the rate of return by using following formula,
Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ Cost of Investment
= $51,200 ÷ $785,400
= 6.52%

l Englehard purchases a slurry-based separator for the mining of clay that costs $700,000 and has an estimated useful life of 10 years, a MACRS-GDS property class of 7 years, and an estimated salvage value after 10 years of $75,000. It was fi nanced using a $200,000 down payment and a loan of $500,000 over a period of 5 years with interest at 10%. Loan payments are made in equal annual amounts (principal plus interest) over the 5 years. a. What is the amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year
Answer:
The amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year is $122,430.
Explanation:
The amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year can be calculated as follows:
Cost of the slurry-based separator = $700,000
Third year depreciation rate for a MACRS-GDS property class of 7 years from the MACRS-GDS table = 17.49%
MACRS-GDS depreciation in the 3rd year = $700,000 * 17.49% = $122,430
Therefore, The amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year is $122,430.
RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $50,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $5,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $10,500 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $20,500 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making.What is the internal rate of return used to reach your decision?
Answer:
savings per year = $20,500 - $10,500 = $10,000
the loan and interest are not included in the calculation
initial outlay = $50,000
cash flows 1-8 = $10,000
cash flow 9 = $15,000
discount rate = 15%
using a financial calculator, the NPV = -$862.85, and the IRR = 14.53%
During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.
Answer:
d.$5,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:
= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals
= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500
= $5,500
hence, the deductible expense is $5,500
Here we take 100% of airfare & lodging but we took 50% for the meals
hence, the option d is correct
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.
Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:
= 400,000 /20,000
= $20 per unit
Therefore, total sales was gotten as:
= 26000 × $20
= $520,000
Variable cost per unit was calculated as:
= 80,000/20,000
= $4 per unit
Then, total cost was:
= $4 × 26,000
= $104,000
Check attachment for further details.
Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
$2,250 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable
Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable

Discounting Cash Flows and Earnings. Under the residual income approach and the discounted cash flow approach to firm valuation, carnings and cash flows, respectively, are discounted using a firm's cost of equity. Discuss why the cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount a firm's camings and cash flows. Why is the cost of debt inappropriate to use to discount a firm's earnings or cash flows
Answer:
Cost of debt is used for external source of finance whereas cost of equity is used for internal source of finance.
Explanation:
Debt is the fund borrowed from lender at a standard rate of interest. Equity is fund acquired by the investors and shareholders. The required rate of return for equity is higher than the rate of return to the debt holders. This is because debt holders are safe and they are paid first in case of a bankruptcy and liquidity situation of a company. Debt is considered as cheap source of finance but acquiring higher debt will increase company gearing. It is not suitable to use cost of debt as discount factor for the cash flows of the company. The best and ideal discount factor is WACC which is derived by the combination of debt and equity.
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000 Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000 Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900 Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 % Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity? b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
Division A = 21%
Division B = 32.8%
Division C = 7.25%
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800
Division B = $0
Division C = ($110,700)
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.

Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic instruments at a cost of $34 per board, consisting of variable costs per unit of $24 and fixed costs per unit of $10.
Further assume Sanmina-SCI offers to sell Hewlett-Packard the 12,000 circuit boards for $34 each.
If Hewlett-Packard accepts this offer, the facilities currently used to make the boards could be rented to one of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers for $46,000 per year.
In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to the circuit boards would be totally eliminated.
Calculate the net benefit (cost) to HP of outsourcing the component from Samina-SCI.
(Use a negative sign with your answer, if appropriate.)
Answer:
The net benefit is -$26,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Total purchase price
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Fixed overhead cost applied
= 12,000 × $6
= $72,000
The rental income = $46,000
Outsourcing cost
= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income
= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000
= $434,000
Therefore, Net benefit
= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost
=$408,000 - $434,000
= -$26,000
Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
ABC Corporation has total assets of 120 million, total liabilities of 80 million, Goodwill of 12 million, and 4 millions of shares outstanding. If you believe the reasonable price to tangible book value should be 1.6 for this company, what is the implied share price of ABC
Answer: $16
Explanation:
Implied share price = Book value per share * Price to tangible book value
Book value per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding
= (120 - 80) / 4
= $10
Implied share price = 10 * 1.6
= $16
An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.
Answer:
236.25
Explanation:
Calculation to determine X
First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield
6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)
6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1
6 month Yield=5%
Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent
Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1
Annual equivalent=10.25%
Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1
1 year yield=0.1025
Now Let calculate X
x(0.004667)=1+.1025
x(0.004667)=1.1025
x=1.1025/0.004667
x=236.25
Therefore X is 236.25
Company A owns a 40% equity method investment in Company B. Subsequently, Company A acquires a controlling interest in a Company B and now must prepare consolidated financial statements. If the date Company A obtains control occurs midyear, how are subsidiary revenues and expenses reported in consolidated income statement in the year of the business combination
Answer:
Pre acquisition subsidiary revenues and expenses are excluded from consolidated revenue and expenses. Post acquisition subsidiary revenues and expenses are included in consolidated revenues and expenses.
Explanation:
Company A has acquired control over company B. When accounting for the consolidated financial statement the pre acquisition revenues and expenses will not be included, only post acquisition revenues and expenses will be included in the consolidated statement and they will be accounted for according to controlling percentage.

Ingraham Inc. currently has $820,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 54 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.
Answer: 451759.29
Explanation:
To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales
Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54
Sales = 5542593
After the new policy, the expected sales will be:
= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)
= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)
= 5542593 × 0.85
= 4711204.5
The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5
Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365
Account receivable = 451759.29
