Answer:
a. Pretax cost of debt is 4.84%.
b. Aftertax cost of debt is 3.15%.
c. Aftertax cost of debt is more relevant. The reason is that it is the actual cost of debt to the company.
Explanation:
a. What is the pretax cost of debt?
The bond's Yield to Maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of semiannuls to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 7 * 2 = 14
r = Semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 6.2% / 2 = 0.062 / 2 = 0.031
pmt = semiannual coupon payment = fv * r = 1000 * 0.031 = $31 = 31
pv = present value = current bond price = fv * 108% = 1000 * 108% = 1080
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(25,90,-1250,1000) ............ (2)
YTM = RATE(14,31,-1080,1000)*2
Inputting =RATE(14,31,-1080,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 4.84%.
Therefore, the YTM of 4.84% is the pretax cost of debt.
b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?
Aftertax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt * (100% - Tax rate) = 4.84% * (100% - 35%) = 3.15%
c. Which is more relevant, the pretax or the aftertax cost of debt? Why?
Aftertax cost of debt is more relevant. The reason is that it is the actual cost of debt to the company.
The salary of the president of the United States in 2000 was $400,000. In 1940, the president's salary was $75,000. If the Consumer Price Index was 8.1 in 1940 and 100 in 2000, the 1940 presidential salary measured in terms of the purchasing power of the dollar in 2000 would be: a. less than $75,000. b. less than $400,000. c. approximately $668,850. d. approximately $926,000.
Answer:
D. Approximately $926,000
Explanation:
To compute the purchasing power of president of the united state's salary in 1940, we will divide 100 by 8.1
= 100/8.1
= 12.3457
The next step is to multiply the above result by $75,000
= 12.3457 × $75,000
= $925,925.93
The above means that in real dollars adjusted to inflation, the president in 1940 earned more than twice the president in 2000
Therefore, 1940 presidential salary measured in yes of purchasing power of the dollar in 2000 would be approximately $926,000
The Armstrong Corporation developed a flexible budget for its production process. Armstrong budgeted to use 12,000 pounds of direct material with a standard cost of $14 per pound to produce 14,000 units of finished product. Armstrong actually purchased 24,000 pounds and used 15,000 pounds of direct material with a cost of $30 per pound to produce 14,000 units of finished product. Given these results, what is Armstrong's direct material pricevariance?
a. $234,000 unfavorable
b. $156,000 unfavorable
c. $234,000 favorable
d. $156,000 favorable
Answer:
A. $234,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Armstrong's direct material price variance
Using this formula
Direct material price variance=[(Standard cost-Actual cost)*Actual quantity]
Let plug in the formula
Direct material price variance=[($11-$24)*18,000)
Direct material price variance=$13*18,000
Direct material price variance=$234,000 Unfavorable
Therefore Armstrong's direct material price variance is $234,000 Unfavorable

, suppose the book value of the debt issue is $70 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 12 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $100 million and the bonds sell for 61 percent of par. What is the company’s total book value of debt? The total market value? What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt now? (Assume that semi-annual compounding is used for the zero-coupon bond.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The company's total book value of debt will be:
= Value of debt + Value of zero coupon bonds
= $70 million + $100 million
= $170 million
b. The market value will be:
= Quoted price × Par value
= ($70 × 1.08) + ($100 × 0.61)
= $75.6 + $61
= $136.6 million
c. The aftertax cost of debt will be:
= (1 - Tax rate) × Pre tax cost of debt
= (1 - 35%) × 5.7%
= 65% × 5.7%
= 3.7%

On January 1, 2017, Fisher Corporation purchased 40 percent (74,000 shares) of the common stock of Bowden, Inc. for $980,000 in cash and began to use the equity method for the investment. The price paid represented a $66,000 payment in excess of the book value of Fisher's share of Bowden's underlying net assets. Fisher was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by Bowden with a 15-year remaining life. All other assets were considered appropriately valued on Bowden's books.
-Bowden declares and pays a $94,000 cash dividend to its stockholders each year on September 15. Bowden reported net income of $408,000 in 2017 and $356,000 in 2018. Each income figure was earned evenly throughout its respective year.
-On July 1, 2018, Fisher sold 10 percent (19,500 shares) of Bowden's outstanding shares for $328,000 in cash. Although it sold this interest, Fisher maintained the ability to significantly influence Bowden's decision-making process.

5.For the past year, Chandler Company had fixed costs of $70,000, unit variable costs of $32, and a unit selling price of $40. For the coming year, no changes are expected in revenues and costs, except that property taxes are expected to increase by $10,000. Determine the break-even sales (units) for: (12 pts ~ 6 pts each) a.The past year: b.The coming year
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 8750 units
b.
Break even in units = 10000 units
Explanation:
The break even in units is the number of units that a business must sell in order to for its total revenue to be equal to total costs and for it to break even. The break even in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a. Past Year
Break even in units = 70000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 8750 units
b. Coming Year
The property taxes which are a fixed cost will increase by $10000. Thus total fixed cost for coming year will be = 10000 + 70000 = 80000
Break even in units = 80000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 10000 units

B. Year 1 = 63,000
Book Value of Tractor $252,000
Year 2 $ 50,400
Book Value of Tractor $201,600
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method
Year 1 = $315,000 / 10
Year 1 = $31,500
Year 2 = $315,000 / 10
Year 2= $31,500
B) Calculation to determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method
Based on the information given we are first going to calculate the percentage of depreciation using straight line method and then double it
Percentage = $ 315,000 *10%
Percentage=$31,500
Now let depreciation the book value each year by 20% Using the double-declining-balance method method
Year 1=20% of $ 315,000
Year 1= 63,000
Book Value=$315,000 - $63,000
Book Value= $ 252,000
Year 2= 20% of 252,000
Year 2 = $ 50,400
Book Value=$ 252,000 -$50,400
Book Value= $201,600
Kenji lives in Detroit and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Kenji does not operate this boat business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Identify each of Charles's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor
Answer:
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays - Explicit cost
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer- Explicit cost
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom - Implicit cost
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor - Implicit cost
Explanation:
Explicit costs are the costs which are incurred to run the business. These are direct costs incurred by the individual. For instance, wages paid by firms, cost of furniture, building, etc. The explicit costs will thus include,
a. Wholesale cost paid to the manufacturer ($430,000)
b. Wages and utility bills ($301,000)
Implicit costs are those costs which are not directly incurred by an individual/ business. These are costs of the lost alternative i.e the opportunity cost of an action. For instance, the cost of forgone rent which could have been earned on renting the office space or building. Thus, Charles implicit costs are
a. Rent of the showroom ($15,000)
b. Salary from being a financial advisor ($50,000)
Sandy is considering moving from her apartment into a small house with a fenced yard. The apartment is noisy, and she has difficulty studying. In addition, the fenced yard would be great for her dog. The distance from school is about the same from the house and from the apartment. The apartment costs $750 per month, and she has 2 months remaining on her lease. The lease cannot be broken, so Sandy must pay the last 2 months of rent whether she lives there or not. The rent for the house is $450 per month, plus utilities, which should average $100 per month. The apartment is furnished; the house is not. If Sandy moves into the house, she will need to buy a bed, dresser, desk, and chair immediately. She thinks that she can pick up some used furniture for a good price. Which of the following costs is irrelevant to Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house?
a. House rent of $450 per month.
b. Utilities for the house of $100 per month.
c. The noise in the apartment house.
d. The cost of the used furniture.
Answer:
Noise in the apartment house
Explanation:
Costs are units or monetary value which are incurred/spent on taking a certain action. It is often quantitative in nature that is something that can be measured. Although noise is a factor which can affect Sandy's decision of moving from the apartment, it cannot be considered as a cost. Noise of the apartment is a qualitative factor. It does not have an intrinsic monetary value. Thus, in this regard it is an irrelevant cost for Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house.
The other options have a monetary value and thus they are relevant for Sandy's decision.

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund.
Required:
What is the expected return and standard deviation of return on your client's portfolio?
Answer:
Portfolio expected return = 8%
Portfolio SD = 9%
Explanation:
Portfolio return is a function of the weighted average return of each stock or asset invested in the portfolio. The mean return on portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock or asset in the portfolior represents the return of each stock or asset in the portfolioTotal investment in portfolio = 60000 + 40000 = 100000
Portfolio return = 60000/100000 * 10% + 40000/100000 * 5%
Portfolio return = 8%
The standard deviation of a portfolio containing one risky and one risk-free asset is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky asset by its weight in the portfolio. So, portfolio standard deviation will be,
Portfolio SD = 60000/100000 * 15%
Portfolio SD = 9%
If prices go up, what happens to demand?
Answer:
Demands lower
Explanation:
When pricing goes up (depending on the product but generally) demands go down waiting for a better price, but marketers have certain ways to stop that from occurring, such as promoting, or pricing products higher when products are thriving.
The following information exists for ABC Company:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
Fixed expenses for the period: $60,000
Sales volume in units: 10,000
If selling price is reduced by $2 and sales volume increases by 3,000 units, total contribution margin will increase by $__________ .
Answer:
Difference= $1,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
New selling price= 30 - 2= $28
New units sales= 13,000
First, we need to calculate the current contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= units sold*unitary contribution margin
Total contribution margin= 10,000*(30 - 21)
Total contribution margin= $90,000
Now, the new contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 13,000*(28 - 21)
Total contribution margin= $91,000

A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable-speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $21,500; a 41% chance of getting $22,000; and a 13% chance of getting $36,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $7,000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.
Answer:
Expected salvage value = $20455
Explanation:
The expected salvage value of the machine can be calculated by multiplying the expected salvage values by their relative probabilities and then summing up the resulting values. The following formula can be used,
Expected salvage value = pA * svA + pB * svB + ... + pN * svN
Where,
p represents the probability of each scenariosv represents the salvage value under each scenarioA, B, ... , N represents scenario A, B, ... , till Nth number of scenarioExpected salvage value = 0.35 * 21500 + 0.41 * 22000 + 0.13 * 36000 +
0.11 * -7000
Expected salvage value = $20455
Leaper Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Total Activity Fabrication 50,000 machine-hours Order processing 200 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and salaries $ 450,000 Depreciation 185,000 Occupancy 205,000 Total $ 840,000 The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: Activity Cost Pools Total Fabrication Order Processing Other Wages and salaries 35% 30% 35% 100% Depreciation 20% 50% 30% 100% Occupancy 35% 30% 35% 100% The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:_______.
A. $2,755 per order
B. $1,445 per order
C. $1,138 per order
D. $983 per order
Answer:
Order Processing= $1,445 per order
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated costs for processing:
Order Processing= (450,000*0.30) + (185,000*0.5) + (205,000*0.3)
Order Processing= $289,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order Processing= 289,000 / 200
Order Processing= $1,445 per order
Lance's Truck Stop purchased a new automatic truck washing machine for $135,000 on January 1. Lance estimates that the machine will last for 10 years at which time it can be sold for $35,000. Lance also estimates that a total of 50,000 trucks would be washed by the machine before it was salvaged. During the first year 7,000 trucks were washed and during the second year another 9,000 were washed. REQUIRED: Calculate depreciation expense for the first two years using the straight-line, units of production, and double declining-balance methods.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (135,000 - 35,000) / 10
Annual depreciation= $10,000 per year
Now, using the double-declining balance:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(135,000 - 35,000) / 10]
Annual depreciation= $20,000
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(100,000 - 20,000) / 10]
Annual depreciation= $16,000
Finally, using the units of production method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in trucks washed]*trucks washed
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= [100,000 / 50,000]*7,000
Annual depreciation= $14,000
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*9,000
Annual depreciation= $18,000

Sales on account are $1,628,900. Cost of goods sold is $1,230,800. Required: 1. Calculate the following risk ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
Missing word: "a. Receivables turnover ratio b. Inventory turnover ratio c. Current ratio d. Acid-test ratio d. Debt-equity ratio"
a. Receivable turover ratio = Net credit sales/ Average receivbles
= $1,628,900/ (($84000+$95000)/2)
= $1,628,900 / $89,500
= 18.2 Times
b) Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
= $1,230,800/ (($98,000+$83,000)/2)
= $1,230,800/$90,500
= 13.6 Times
c) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
= ($158,000+$84,000+$98,000+$4,300) / ($102,000+$7,500+$9,500
= $344,300/$119,000
= 2.893277311
= 2.89 to 1
d) Acid test ratio = ( Current assets - Inventory ) / Current liabilities
= ($344,300 - $98,000) / $119,000
= $246,300 / $119,000
= 2.0697478992
= 2.07
e) Debt-equity ratio = Total Liability (Current + Non-current) / Stockholders' equity
= ($119,000+$100,000) / ($730,000+$268,100)
= $219,000 / $998,100
= 0.2194169
= 22%
Marin Corp. factors $441,000 of accounts receivable with Headland Finance Corporation on a without recourse basis on July 1, 2020. The receivables records are transferred to Headland Finance, which will receive the collections. Headland Finance assesses a finance charge of 1.80% of the amount of accounts receivable and retains an amount equal to 6% of accounts receivable to cover sales discounts, returns, and allowances. The transaction is to be recorded as a sale.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry on July 1, 2020, for Marin Corp. to record the sale of receivables without recourse.
Answer:
Debit Cash for $406,602; Debit Finance charge for $7,938; Debit Loss on sale of receivables for 26,460; and Credit Accounts receivable for $441,000.
Explanation:
Before preparing the journal entry, the following calculations are made firs:
Finance charge = Percentage of finance charge * Accounts receivable = 1.80% * $441,000 = $7,938
Loss on sale of receivables = Percentage retained * Accounts receivable = 6% * $441,000 = $26,460
Cash = Accounts receivable - Finance charge - Loss on sale of receivables = $441,000 - $7,938 - $26,460 = $406,602
The journal entry will now look as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
