Answer: $2000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ranger Corporation is currently selling widgets for $40 at a cost of $20 per unit and that the fixed costs are currently $500 and the current production is 100 widgets.
The Operating Cash Flow at this output level will be:
= (P - V) × Q
where p = selling price = $40
v = cost price = $20
q = quantity = 100
= ($40 - $20) × 100
= $20 × 100
= $2000
1. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of -0.3, and a beta coefficient of -0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12% a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier
Answer:
Option A is riskier
Explanation:
In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.
To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.
For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.
Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price
Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option
Which of the following statements regarding a partner's basis of inventory received in a liquidating distribution is True?
A) Partners may either increase or decrease the basis in inventory distributed in a liquidating distribution.
B) Partners may only increase the basis in inventory distributed in a liquidating distribution.
C) Partners may only decrease the basis in inventory distributed in a liquidating distribution.
D) None of these statements is True.
Answer:
C) Partners may only decrease the basis in inventory distributed in a liquidating distribution.
Explanation:
Liquidating distribution refers to the absence of dividend distribution that is to be allocated to the shareholders in case of the partial or complete liquidation. In this, the whole equity is allocated along with the profit-sharing
In case fo inventory received based on a partner basis, the partners are only eligible to decrease the inventory basis
hence, the option c is correct
Which income statement line item had the largest percentage increase from the prior year to the current year? Current Year Prior Year Sales $120,000 $100,000 Cost of Goods Sold 80,000 60,000 Depreciation Expense 30,000 20,000 Interest Expense 2,000 5,000
Answer:
the depreciation expense increased by 50% during the current year.
Explanation:
Current Year Prior Year % change
Sales $120,000 $100,000 +20%
Cost of Goods Sold $80,000 $60,000 +33.33%
Depreciation Expense $30,000 $20,000 +50%
Interest Expense $2,000 $5,000 -60%
Even though the interest expense changed in a higher percentage (-60%), the question asked for which item increased the most, but the interest expense decreased.
Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%. What is the investment's coefficient of variation
Answer: 0.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%.
The investment's coefficient of variation will be the standard deviation divided by the expected return. This will be:
= 10/15
= 0.67

A plant asset is acquired by a business on January 2, 20X6, for $10,000. The asset's estimated residual value is $2,000 and it's estimated useful life is 5 years. Management chooses to use straight-line depreciation. On January 2. 20X8. the asset is sold for $5,000. The entry to record the sale has what effect on the financial statements? a. Assets decrease, expenses increase, and net income and owners' equity decrease. b. Assets decrease and owners' equity and expenses both increase. c. Has no effect on the financial statements if the journal entry is in balance. d. Assets increase, expenses decrease, and net income and owners' equity increase.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
From the calculation below, it is clearly seen that Assets are being decreased and expenses are increased therefore Option A is correct.
Workings
Depreciation expense = (cost - residual value) / useful life
Depreciation expense = 10,000 - 2,000 / 5
Depreciation expense = $1600
Accumulated depreication = depreciation x 2 years -= $3,200
Carrying value = 10,000 - 3,200
Carrying value = $6,800
Disposal = $5,000
Loss on disposal = $1,800
Gugenheim, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.5 percent and annual payments. The yield to maturity is 7.7 percent and the bond matures in 21 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?
Answer:
Price of bond=$1,753.96
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Gugenheim, Inc can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 6.5%% × 2000 = 130
PV of interest payment
PV = A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)
A- 130, r- 7.7, n- 21
= 130 × (1-(1.077)^(-21)/0.077) = 1,332.743
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - 2000, r- 7.7%, n- 21
PV = 2000 × (1.077)^(-21) = 421.2115063
Step 3
Price of bond
= 1,332.743 + 421.211
=$1753.955
Price of bond=$1,753.96

Starbucks (Croatia). Starbucks opened its first store in Zagreb, Croatia, in October 2010. In Zagreb, the price of a tall vanilla latte is 25.70 Croatian kunas (kn or HRK). In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $2.65. The exchange rate between Croatian kunas and U.S. dollars is kn5.6288.
(a) According to purchasing power parity, is the Croatian kuna overvalued or undervalued?
(b) By what percent is the kuna overvalued or undervalued?
Answer:
a. Overvalued
b. 72.3% overvalued
Explanation:
a. Purchasing power parity when held, shows that prices of a specific good is the same across the world.
Price in New York = $2.65
Price in Zagreb = kn25.70
$1 = 25.70/2.65
$1 = kn9.6981
According to PPP, Croatian Kuna is Overvalued as the exchange rate per the Vanilla Latte is higher than the official exchange rate.
b. = [tex]\frac{9.6981 - 5.6288}{5.6288.}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.0693}{5.6288}[/tex]
= 72.3% overvalued
The comparative cash flow statements from Sears and Wal-Mart are presented above. Amounts presented are in millions. Review both statements considering what you've learned in this chapter about the cash flow statement. Answer the following questions: When analyzing a company's cash flow statement, which section of the statement (operating, investing or financing) do you believe is the best predictor of a company's future profitability? Why? Which company do you believe is healthier based on the cash flow statements presented? Provide at least two specific examples from the statements. Your initial post is due four (4) days prior to the discussion due date or points will be deducted from your discussion score. Please review the discussion board requirements above.
The complete question is attached.
Answer:
Sears Holding Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
1. The section of the cash flow statement that is the best predictor of a company's future profitability is the Operating Activities Section. The reason is that the operating activities section shows the net cash from operating activities or the core business activities of the entity. A business entity's profitability is not determined by subsidiary activities like financing and investing activities. But it is ascertained by reviewing its operating activities which also define the mission of the business and show the strategies it can deploy to attain its goals.
2. Walmart Stores, Inc. is by far healthier than Sears Holdings Corporation, at least based on the January 30, 2016 statements of cash flows. For instance, Walmart Stores recorded a Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $27,389 million while Sears recorded a negative Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $2,167 million. Again, from the operating activities sections, one can see that Walmart Stores, Inc. was able to make a net income before adjustments of $15,080 million, whereas Sears Holding Corporation performed abysmally poor by incurring a net loss of $1,128 million.
Explanation:
The Sears and Walmart's statements of cash flows are one of the three main financial statements prepared and presented by Sears Holding Corporation or Walmart Stores, Inc. to its stockholders and the general public to show financial information about its activities. Specifically, the statements of cash flows for Sears and Walmart show the flow of cash under three main activity headings: operating, financing, and investing.
Two methods can be used by Sears and Walmart to prepare the statement. They include the indirect method, which starts from the net income, and the direct method, which shows the cash inflows and outflows for each cash flow item for Sears and Walmart.

XYZ Corporation’s bonds have 14 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, the bonds have a $1,000 par value, and the coupon interest rate is 10%. The bonds sell at a price of $950. What is their yield to maturity? Show your work.
Answer:
The answer is 10.71%
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 14 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $950
PMT( coupon payment) = $100 ( 10 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 14; PV= -950 ; PMT = 100; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 10.71
Therefore, the yield to maturity of the bond is 10.71%
A bond that pays interest annually yielded 6.01 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 3 percent. Given that information, the actual real rate of return on this bond for last year was _____percent.
Answer:
2.3%
Explanation:
The computation of the actual real rate of return is shown below:-
Actual real rate of return on this bond for last year = ((1 + Nominal rate of interest ) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate of return)) - 1
= ((1 + 0.0601) ÷ (1 + 0.03)) - 1
= 1.0601 ÷ 1.03 - 1
= 1.023 - 1
= 0.023
or
= 2.3%
Therefore for computing the actual rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
You make monthly payments on your car loan. It has a quoted APR of 6.7% (monthly compounding). What percentage of the outstanding principal do you pay in interest each month?
Answer:
Monthly percentage rate = 0.55%
Explanation:
DATA:
APR = 6.7%
Monthly interest percentage =?
Solution:
Basically APR means Annual percentage rate refers to annual rate of interest charged to borrowers and paid to investors.
Here we have asked to find the monthly interest percentage. In order to find that out, we need to divide APR by 12 months.
Monthly percentage rate = APR/12months
Monthly percentage rate = 6.7%/12months
Monthly percentage rate = 0.55%

An agreed amount is deposited at an agreed period (e.g yearly) so as to pay of the par value or principal value at maturity.
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley owned acre as joint tenants in fee simple absolute. Ms Kingsley secretly conveyed her interest to herself in an instrument that added, "I hereby terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre with Mr. Kingsley." Ms. Kingsley thereafter leased a portion of the property to Mr. Matthew, over the objections of Mr. Kingsley for Mr. Matthew to use for holding boxing matches. Their lease provided that Mr. Matthew would pay $1000.00 on the first day of each month during which he was permitted to use the property. Mr. Kingsley demanded from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents received from Mr. Matthew.
Required:
Describe the property relations between the parties and Mr. Kingsley's rights and remedies.
Answer:
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley as Joint Tenants
1. Property Relations between Mr. and Ms. Kingsley: The titles show that the Kingsleys are living together but not married partners. However, the Black-acre is jointly owned by these partners. Each has equal rights and obligations over the acre. Ms. Kingsley does not have absolute right to sell or lease any part of the acre without the consent of Mr. Kingsley or without obtaining a court permit to sell or lease, especially upon Mr. Kingsley's objections. She also lacks the legal right to secretly "terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre" without the knowledge of Mr. Kingsley or without going through the applicable court process.
2. Mr. Kingsley's Rights and Remedies: Having leased a portion of the acre to Mr. Matthew, Mr. Kingsley is entitled to half of the monthly lease payments. He also has the right to demand from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents from the lease. He can, in the absence of Ms. Kingsley's refusal, initiate a court process to enforce his joint-tenancy rights.
Explanation:
Joint-tenancy can exist between Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Kingsley, whether they are legally married or not. Joint-tenancy can also exist between two or more parties without the intention of marriage. The term is a legal term that describes an equally shared ownership interest in a property. Joint-tenancy deeds are established in order to avoid the need for a probate in the case of a party's death.
Harold Manufacturing produces denim clothing. This year, it produced 5,260 denim jackets at a manufacturing cost of $42 each. These jackets were damaged in the warehouse during storage Management investigated the matter and identified three alternatives for these jackets.
1. Jackets can be sold to a second-hand clothing shop for $8.00 each
2. Jackets can be disassembled at a cost of $31,800 and sold to a recycler for $12.00 each.
3. Jackets can be reworked and turned into good jackets. However, with the damage, management estimates it will be able to assemble the good parts of the 5,260 jackets into only 3,050 jackets. The remaining pieces of fabric will be discarded. The cost of reworking the jackets will be $102,200, but the ackets can then be sold for their regular price of $45.00 each.
Required:
Calculate the incremental income.
Answer:
Incremental net income = $42,080
Explanation:
Note the the income would be that which result from the alternative action with the highest net income Note that the manufacturing cost of $12 per unit is not relevant for the purpose of this decision and hence would not form part of the analysis
$
Option one: Outright sale
Sales from disposal = 5,260× 8 42,080
Option 2: disassembling
Revenue $12 × 5,260 = 63120
Cost of disassembling ( 31,800)
Net income 31,320
Option 3: Reworking
Sales revenue ($45.00× 3,050) 137250
Cost of reworking (102,200)
Net income 35,050
The outright option gives the highest net income hence should be considered.
Incremental net income = $42,080
Alternative 2

At the beginning of its current fiscal year, Willie Corp.’s balance sheet showed assets of $11,400 and liabilities of $5,700. During the year, liabilities decreased by $1,200. Net income for the year was $3,050, and net assets at the end of the year were $6,150. There were no changes in paid-in capital during the year.
Required:
Calculate the dividends, if any, declared during the year.
Stockholders' Equity
Assets = Liabilities + PIC + RE
Beginning $11,900 = $6,300 + 0 +
Changes = (1,200) + 0 +
Ending = + +
Answer:
$8,750
Explanation:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + PAID IN CAPITAL + RETAINED EARNINGS
beginning of the year:
$11,400 = $5,700 + paid in capital + retained earnings
paid in capital + beginning retained earnings = $5,700
end of the year:
$6,150 = $4,500 + paid in capital + retained earnings
paid in capital + ending retained earnings = $1,650
ending retained earnings = beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends = beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends
paid in capital + beginning retained earnings - $5,700 = 0
paid in capital + beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends - $1,650 = 0
let X = paid in capital
let Y =beginning retained earnings
X + Y - $5,700 = X + Y + $3,050 - dividends
we eliminate X and Y
-$5,700 = $3,050 - dividends
dividends = $5,700 + $3,050 = $8,750

"The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price."
Answer:
The target selling price =$45
Explanation:
The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost
The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)
The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.
The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.
The target selling price would be determined using te steps below:
Step 1: Calculate the unit cost
Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36
Total unit cost = $36
Step 2: Calculate the target selling price
Target selling price = Unit cost + (25%× unit cost)
The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45
The target selling price =$45
Primus Corp. is planning to convert an existing warehouse into a new plant that will increase its production capacity by 45 percent. The cost of this project will be $7,125,000. It will result in additional cash flows of $1,875,000 for the next eight years. The discount rate is 12 percent.
a) What is the payback period?
b) What is the NPV for this project?
c) What is the IRR?
Answer:
3.8 years
$2,189,324.56
20.33%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Payback period = amount invested / cash flows = $7,125,000 / $1,875,000 = 3.8 years
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
NPV = $2,189,324.56
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
IRR = 20.33%

The manufacturer Mike and Ike, the fruit-flavored chewy candies, has changed its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12- to 17-year-olds. What type of market segmentation identifies its market
Answer:
Demographic
Explanation:
A market is segmented so as to narrow down a large market into a narrow base, or a target market. This helps the organization to be better focused on providing its services to these target groups of people. A market can be segmented on the basis of demography, psychography, behavior, and geography. Demography deals more with statistical data of the population being studied and would typically include; age, gender, race, income levels, etc.
So, when the manufacturer Mike and Ike changes its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12-17-years-old, he has segmented the market according to demography and age.

The ___________ organization becomes a central hub surrounded by networks of outside suppliers and specialists, and parts can be added or taken.
Answer: modular
Explanation:
A modular organizational structure is a form of business which can be separated and then recombined so as to bring about efficiency at the workplace.
In modular structure, the business is grouped into small, strategic business units that focuses on a particular element of the process in the organization. It leads to flexibility and efficiency.
Consider a product with a daily demand of 600 units, a setup cost per production run of $200, a monthly holding cost per unit of $5.00, and an annual production rate of 300,000 units. The firm operates and experiences demand 300 days per year.
Required:
a. What is the optimum size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year if cost of each unit is 10 dollars?
e. Suppose that management mistakenly used the basic EOQ model to calculate the batch size instead of using the POQ model. How much money per year has that mistake cost the company?
Answer:
a. 3,795 units
b. $1,897.50
c. $2,845.80
d. $42,693.80
Explanation:
Optimum size for the Production ran is the size that minimizes Set-up costs and Holding costs.
Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 × Annual Production × Set-up cost) / Holding Cost per unit
Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 × 600 × 300 × $200) / $5.00
= 3,794.73 or 3,795 units
Average Holding Cost = Optimum size for the Production / 2
= 3,795 units / 2
= $1,897.50
Set - up Cost = Total Annual Production / Optimum size for the Production × Set - up cost per unit
= ((600 × 300) / 3,795)× $5.00
= $237.15
Annual cost = $237.15 × 12
= $2,845.80
Total Cost Calculation
Purchase Price (3,795 × $10) = $37,950.50
Holding Cost = $1,897.50
Set - up Cost = $2,845.80
Total Cost = $42,693.80
POQ = Optimum size for the Production / Annual Demand
= 3,795 units / (300 × 600)
= 0.021
