Answer:
Michael
The amount of the company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is:
= $1,960.27
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fair market value of 2019 Lexus GS 200t = $50,000
Lease value of the company car = $13,250
Distance that Michael drove the car during the year = 45,000
Personal use of the car during the year = 9,000
Percentage of personal use = 9,000/45,000 * 100 = 20%
Availability of the car during the year = 270
Gasoline charged back to Michael by the employer = $0.055 * 45,000 * 20%
= $495
Company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is = $13,250 * 20% * 270/365 = $1,960.27

Total costs = 4,550,000
Gross profit = $1,150,000
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
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

Randall Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. Factory overhead cost was applied at 125% of direct labor cost. Selected data concerning the past year's operation of the company are presented below. January 1 December 31 Direct materials $ 77,000 $ 40,000 Work in process 66,000 42,000 Finished goods 115,000 100,000 Other information Direct materials purchases $ 324,000 Cost of goods available for sale 950,000 Actual factory overhead costs 260,000 The cost of direct materials used for production is:
Answer:
$361,000
Explanation:
Direct materials used = Beginning Materials + Purchases - Ending Materials
therefore,
Direct materials used = $ 77,000 + $ 324,000 - $ 40,000 = $361,000
Conclusion
The cost of direct materials used for production is $361,000.
You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Debt: 9,300 6.5% coupon bonds outstanding, with 22 years to maturity and a quoted price of 104.75. These bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually.
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.
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%
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
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.
A certain company just announced it will cut next year's dividends from $4 to $2.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, the company's dividends were expected to grow at a 4% rate, and its share price was $50. With the planned expansion, the company's dividends are expected to grow at a 6% rate. What share price (in dollars) would you expect after the announcement
Answer:
P0 = $41.6666666 rounded off to $41.67
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year
g is the constant growth rate in dividends
r is the discount rate or required rate of return
We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this company based on the previous growth rate, dividend and current share price prior to announcement.
50 = 4 / (r - 0.04)
50 * (r - 0.04) = 4
50r - 2 = 4
50r = 4 + 2
r = 6 / 50
r = 0.12 or 12%
Now using the post announcement data, the new share price will be,
P0 = 2.5 / (0.12 - 0.06)
P0 = $41.6666666 rounded off to $41.67
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.
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.
List five developmental issues common to most LDCs.
Answer:
..........................
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.
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.

Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100
NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130
LCNRV = $3,100 for tools
Paint products: Cost value = (500 * $6) + (100 * $4) = $3,400
NRV value = (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950

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.
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

$40,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
First step is to calculate the preferred stock
Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%
Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%
Preferred stock=$120,000
Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2
Dividend Received=$80,000/2
Dividend Received=$40,000
Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

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
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 16 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1.60 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 7.10 percent
Answer:
$287.01
Explanation:
The 2 stage dividend discount model would be used to determine the current value of the stock.
first stage
Present value in year 1 = (1.6 x 1.16) / 1.071 = 1.73
Present value in year 2 = (1.6 x 1.16²) / 1.071² = 1.88
Present value in year 3 = (1.6 x 1.16³) / 1.071³ =2.03
Present value in year 4 = (1.6 x 1.16^4) / 1.071^4 = 2.20
second stage
[ (1.6 x 1.16^4) x (1.06) ] / (0.071 - 0.06) = 279.17
Value of the stock = 1.73 + 1.88 + 2.03 + 2.20 + 279.17 = $287.01
Myers Company uses a flexible budget for manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs per direct labor hour are as follows:
Indirect labor $1.00
Indirect materials 0.70
Utilities 0.40
Fixed overhead costs per month are Supervision $4,000, Depreciation $1,200, and Property Taxes $800. The company believes it will normally operate in a range of 7,000–10,000 direct labor hours per month.
Instructions:
Prepare a monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget for 2017 for the expected range of activity, using increments of 1,000 direct labor hours.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor $1.00
Indirect materials 0.70
Utilities 0.40
Total fixed overhead= 4,000 + 1,200 + 800= $6,000
In the relevant rage, the fixed costs remain constant. Only the variable cost change with production on a total basis.
7,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*7,000= 7,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*7,000= 4,900
Utilities= 0.40*7,000= 2,800
Total= 14,700
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $20,700
8,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*8,000= 8,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*8,000= 5,600
Utilities= 0.40*8,000= 3,200
Total= 16,800
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $22,800
9,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*9,000= 9,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*9,000= 6,300
Utilities= 0.40*9,000= 3,600
Total= 18,900
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $24,900
10,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*10,000= 10,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*10,000= 7,000
Utilities= 0.40*10,000= 4,000
Total= 21,000
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $27,000

HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264
YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766
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.
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.

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
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.
