Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year. Multiple choice question. $2,875 $1,850 $1,250 $2,375

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $1,850

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Purchase price= $12,000

Salvage value= $500

Useful life= 5 years

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (12,000 - 500) / 5

Annual depreciation= 2,300

Accumulated depreciation (2 years)= 2,300*1= 4,600

Now, we can determine the annual depreciation with a 4 more years of useful life:

Book value= 12,000 - 4,600= 7,400

useful life= 4 years more

Annual depreciation= 7,400/4

Annual depreciation= $1,850

Which of the following is true? In a one-shot game, a collusive strategy always represents a Nash equilibrium. A subgame perfect equilibrium occurs when each player is doing the best he can regardless of what the other player is doing. Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium. Correct! Every subgame perfect equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium.

Answers

Answer: Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium.

Explanation:

The Nash Equilibrium in a game is the outcome of which neither of the players would want to deviate from because they are making the highest payoff that they can given the other player's possible choice and leaving this outcome would result in a lower payoff.

In every subgame that is based on the original game therefore, the Nash equilibrium represents the perfect equilibrium for the players as it is giving the highest payoff given the circumstances.

The chapter explained why exporters cheer when their home currency depreciates. At the same time, domestic consumers find that they pay higher prices, so they should be disappointed when the currency becomes weaker. Why do the exporters usually win out, so that governments often seem to welcome depreciations while trying to avoid appreciations? (Hint: Think about the analogy with protective tariffs.)

Answers

Answer:

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because it increases demand for the exported products.

Explanation:

The foreign consumers find that the prices of the imports are now reduced because of the depreciation of the exporting nation's currency.  The impact is reduced cost of importation for the importing consumers.  When prices fall, demand tends to increase relative to supply.  For any government that wants to encourage exports for earning foreign exchange, it will always work hard to avoid currency appreciation so that consumers from the importing nation are not discouraged or made to develop alternatives.

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because the depreciation increases the demand of the exported products.

When the prices fall, demand of the products and goods tend to increase. When the home currency depreciates, this will leads to higher demand of goods from other countries so the exporters produce and exports more goods and earn more money.

The government also wants to encourage exports in order to earn foreign exchange so that's why the exporters as well as the government cheers when their home currency depreciates.

Common stock: 240,000 shares of common stock selling for $64.80 per share. The stock has a beta of .93 and will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.3 percent per year indefinitely.
Preferred stock: 8,300 shares of 4.65 percent preferred stock selling at $94.30 per share.
Market: 11.7% expected return, a risk-free rate of 3.75%, and a 23% tax rate.
Calculate the company's WACC.

Answers

Answer:

WACC is 8.19%

Explanation:

WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital is determined by multiplying capital source cost of both equity and debt by their relevant weight and then summing the results to identify the value using the formulae given below:

WACC = (E/V x Re) + [D/V x Rd x (1 - Tc)]

where:

E = Market Value of the firm's equity

D = Market Value of the firm's debt

V =  E + D

Re = Cost of Equity

Rd = Cost of Debt

Tc = Tax Rate

In the given question, we will first determine the cost of equity. As shown below:

Cost of Equity = Average of CAPM and Dividend Capitalisation Model

CAPM = Risk free rate of return + Beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

CAPM = 3.75 + 0.93 x (11.7 - 3.75)

CAPM = 11.14%

Dividend Capitalisation Model = Expected dividend net year / Current Price + Growth Rate

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 3 / 64.8 * 100 + 5.3

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 9.93%

Cost of Equity = 9.93 + 11.14 = 10.54%

Next is the cost of debt which would be calculated using YTM (Yield to maturity)

where:

Par Value = 1047.5

Face Value = 1000

Coupon rate = 6.5

Years to maturity = 22 years

Coupon Payment Frequency is semi annually.

The Cost of debt = 6.1%

After Tax it would be 4.7% [6.1% * (1 - 23%)]

Next, we will determine the rate of preferred stock before calculating the WACC.

Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current Price * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.65 / 94.3 * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.93%

Finally, we will calculate the Market Value (MV) of equity, debt and preferred stock. As shown below:

MV Equity = 240,000 x 64.8 = 15,552,000

MV Debt = 1047.5 x 9300 = 9,741,750

MV preferred stock = 8,300 x 94.3 = 782,690

Total = 26,076,440

WACC = (15,552,000 / 26,076,440 * 10.54%) + (9,741,750 / 26,076,440 * 4.7%) + (782,690 / 26,076,440 * 4.93%)

WACC = 6.28% + 1.76% + 0.15%

WACC = 8.19%

The bonds pay 8 % interest, semiannually. The tax rate is 34 %. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital

Answers

Answer:

The firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.76%.

Explanation:

Note: Par value of the preferred stock is $100 but it is omitted in the question.

Market price share = (Dividend just paid (1 + Dividend growth rate)) / (Cost of equity – Dividend growth rate) ………………………………….. (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation and solve for cost of equity, we have:

36 = (1.64 * (1 + 0.028)) / (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36 = 1.68592/ (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36(Cost of equity – 0.028) = 1.68592

36Cost of equity - 1.008 = 1.68592

36Cost of equity = 11.68592 + 1.008

Cost of equity = (1.68592 + 1.008) / 36

Cost of equity = 0.0748, or 7.48%

Cost of preferred stock = (Par value * Dividend rate) / Current price = (100 * 6%) / 51 = 0.1176, or 11.76%

Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate) = 8% * (100% - 34%) = 0.0528, or 5.28%

Common stock market value = 58,000 * $36 = $2,088,000

Preferred market value = 12,000 * $51 = $612,000

Bond market value = $750,000 * ($1,011 / $1,000) = $758,250

Total market value of the company = Common stock market value + Preferred market value + Bond market value = $2,088,000 + $612,000 + $758,250 = $3,458,250

WACC = (7.48% * ($2,088,000 / $3,458,250)) + (11.76% * (612,000 / $3,458,250)) + (5.28% * ($758,250/ $3,458,250)) = 0.0776, or 7.76%

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

Answers

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.

In the 1950s, imports and exports of goods and services constituted roughly 4% to 5% of U.S. GDP. In recent years, exports have accounted for approximately 12% of GDP, while imports have more than tripled to over 15% of GDP. Which of the following help to explain the increase in international trade and finance since the 1950s?

a. Better high-speed rail lines.
b. An increasing number of import quotas.
c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that facilitate international meetings.
d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.

Answers

Answer:

      a. Better high-speed rail lines.  

      c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that  facilitate international meetings.

       d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.

Explanation:

Better high-speed rails have improved the speed and capacity to carry goods across countries thereby enabling imports to be done with more ease. This has increased both the exports to and imports for other countries.

Information Technology has also grown to the point where international meetings can be had online which means that trade agreements and contracts can be completed quickly and with more convenience so more trade is happening between companies in the U.S. and other nations.

Also international trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have lowered tariffs such that it is cheaper to both export and import than it was so both measures grew.

Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method

Answers

Answer:

Harmon Inc.

Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:

Product A = $16,875

Product B = $28,125

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000

Joint products        Product A     Product B      Total

Production units       1,500            2,500          4,000

Selling price per unit  $50               $20

Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:

Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)

Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)

b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run.  These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value.  The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

If a bank has $500 million of checkable deposits, a required reserve ratio of 15%, and it holds $126 million reserves, then the maximum deposit outflow it can sustain without running into reserve deficiency is Group of answer choices $20 million $60 million $71 million $51 million

Answers

Answer: $51 million

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the required reserve which will be:

= $500 × 15%

= $500 million × 0.15

= $75 million

Then, the excess reserve will be:

= $126 million - $75 million

= $51 million

Therefore, the maximum deposit outflow it can sustain without running into reserve deficiency is $51 million.

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?

Answers

Answer:

savings per year = $20,500 - $10,500 = $10,000

Calculate the cash dividends required to be paid for each of the following preferred stock issues: Required: The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.

Answers

Answer:

Preferred dividend calculation:

= Percentage return * Par Value * number of shares

a. The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

= 6% * 62 * 8,200 * 1/2 years

= $‭15,252‬

b. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid.

In this case, last year's dividend was not paid and this is a cumulative preferred stock so the dividend will be accrued from last year and paid this year.

= Preferred dividend * 2 years

= (2.25 * 68,900 shares outstanding) * 2

= $‭310,050‬

c. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.

= 10% * 90 * 67,600 * 1/4 years

= $152,775

B)______ involved in it.



A. discounts, loyalty, credits

B. loyalty, risk, advantages

Answers

Answer:

A. Credits

B. Risk

Explanation:

Charles is offering his customers to buy goods on credits. He is neither offering any discount (as the price of the high-end electronic gadgets are not changing) nor is he seeking any loyalty from his customers.

While the benefit Charles is gaining from this is that the risk involved in giving credit through credit card is being mitigated. If Charles had himself given the credit, then there would have been the risk of non-payment which he would have to bear. In this case the supporting bank or any other financial institution will bear the risk if the end buyer does not pay the credit card bill on time.

Budget philosophies There are several important philosophies regarding budget balances. One way in which they differ is in terms of the time span over which the budget should be balanced. Another difference among budget philosophies involves whether the budget balance is as important as other economic goals. Which of the following budget philosophies advocates keeping the budget in balance every year, except during wartime?
Functional finance
Annually balanced budget
Cyclically balanced budget
A major problem with the implementation of this philosophy is that it:________
Magnifies business cycle fluctuations
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Relies upon government officials to budget for surpluses during boom times in order to cover deficits during recessions

Answers

Answer:

functional finance

Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits

Explanation:

Functional finance is a theory developed by Abba P. Lerne during the World War II. It encourages the government's intervention in the economy to achieve its goals and reduce economic insecurity. It is the current budget philosophy in the US

Advantage

It allows the government to stabilise the economy using fiscal policy

Disadvantage

it encourages deficit spending and this can increase the debt of a country

Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure. this type of budget can magnify the business cycle.

A Cyclically balanced budget is when in a recession, the government makes use of expansionary fiscal policy and in a boom, the government makes use of a contractionary fiscal policy to stabilise the economy

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine what Jamari's business has and the amount which is reported on his tax return

Calculation for Net Income / (loss)

Revenue $ 20,000

Less:

Depreciation on Car ($3,960)

Operating Exp of car ($3,100)

Wages ($8,200)

Amortization of intangible ($ 680) ($21,940)

Net Income / (loss) $ -1,940

Therefore Jamari's business has a NET LOSS of $1,940 which is reported FOR AGI (ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME) on his tax return

B . Based on the information given we were that the REVENUE is the amount of $20,000 which means that in a situation where the activity was a hobby Jamari will report $$20,000 as income. Of his expenses, $20,000 are ALLOWED BUT WILL NOT BE DEDUCTIBLE on his tax return.

On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?

a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.

Answers

Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.

Explanation:

Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.

In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

Computation for the company's days' sales in inventory for Year 2.

Using this formula

Days' sales in inventory = Merchandise Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold * 365

Let plug in the formula

Days' sales in inventory = $121,000 / $390,000 * $365

Days' sales in inventory= $113.24

Therefore the company's days' sales in inventory for Year 2 will be $113.24
