Bagwell's net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2 was $175,000. Information from Bagwell's comparative balance sheets is given below. Compute the cash paid for dividends during Year 2. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $500,000 $450,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par 948,000 853,000 Retained earnings 688,000 582,000 A. $95,000. B. $201,000. C. $69,000. D. $79,000. E. $50,000.
Answer:
C. $69,000
Explanation:
Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1
Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000
Difference in retained earnings =$106,000
Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
Using this formula
Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference
Let plug in the formula
Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000
Cash paid dividend =$69,000
Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000
During 2018, Skechers USA had Sales of $1,846.4, Gross profit of $818.8 million and Selling, General and Administration expenses of $730.7 million. What was Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018
Answer:
The answer is $1,027.6 million
Explanation:
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Sales(cost of goods sold)
Gross profit = $818.8 million
Sales of $1,846.4 million.
To find Cost of Sales, we rearrange the formula to now be:
Sales - Gross profit
$1,846.4 million - $818.8 million
=$1,027.6 million
Therefore, Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018 is $1,027.6 million
For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost.

The structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. The economy is in:_______.
a. long-run equilibrium.
b. a recessionary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
c. a recessionary gap producing less than Natural Real GDP.
d. an inflationary gap producing Natural Real GDP.
e. an inflationary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
Answer:
a. long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
In the circumstances that the structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. Then we can say that the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.
Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.
Frictional unemployment is a form of unemployment which is voluntary because employees which to change jobs or move to another better job.
Hence, the economy is in a long-run equilibrium because the rate of unemployment has become constant, thus, prices and wages will be adjusted in order to reach wages equilibrium level.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 400 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 400 units, its average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit.
Required:
a. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level?
b. What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Answer:
1. This firm have the profit maximizing output level of 1400 units because a firm in any industry will maximize profit where MR=MC. Here MR is equal to MC at the output level of 1400. So profit maximizing level of output is 1400 units.
2. Economic profit = Total revenue - total cost.
Where, Total revenue = Quantity * price
= 1400 * 7
= $9,800
Total variable cost = AVC * quantity
= 6.50 *1400
= $9,100
Total fixed cost = AFC * quantity
= 0.80 * 1400
= $1,120
Economic profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost - Total fixed cost
Economic profit = $9,800 - $9,100 - $1,120
Economic profit = -$420
. The firm is having economic loss equal to 420.
Conclusion: This firm is facing economic loss in its output.

A company issues $60,000 of 6%, 5-year bonds dated January 1 that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. If the issuer accepts $62,000 for the bonds, the premium on bonds payable will _________________ total interest expense recognized over the life of the bond by $ ______________.
Answer:
The premium on the bonds payable will decrease the total interest expense recognized over the life bond by $2000
Explanation:
The premium on bonds payable is the excess of cash proceeds received from the bond's issuance over the face value.
cash proceeds=$62,000
face value=$60,000
premium on bonds payable=$62,000-$60,000
premium on bonds payable=$2000
This will decrease the total interest expense recognized over the life bond by $2000
a company sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at$ 100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier who charges fixed cost of $30 per order, and $ 50 per bottle. The annual inventory holding cost is 40%. Assume the company operates 50 weeks in a year. What is the optimal number of bottles company should order?
Answer:
the economic order quantity or optimal quantity = 300 bottles per order
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √[(2SD) / H]
S = cost per order = $30D = annual demand = 600 x 50 weeks = 30,000H = holding costs = $50 x 40% = $20EOQ = √[(2 x $30 x 30,000) / $20] = √($1,800,000 / $20) = √90,000 = 300
This means that the company must make 2 orders per week and 100 orders per year. This happens because the holding costs per unit are too high, therefore, in order to reduce costs you must have a small inventory.

Howard Services, Inc., has $ 8 comma 600 cash on hand on January 1. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $ 7 comma 600. January cash collections are $ 548 comma 570. Total cash payments for January are $ 567 comma 610. Prepare a cash budget for January. How much cash, if any, will Howard need to borrow by the end of January?
Answer:
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Explanation:
The cash budget shows the expected cash payments and expected cash receipts and cash balance at the end of a particular period.
Note that in the cash budget only items of the cash are considered, therefore items like depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and apportionment of fixed costs are not included because they are not cash based.
The balance at the end = opening cash balance + cash receipts -cash payment
Applying this to Howard Services, Inc.
The amount of cash to be borrowed = Minimum cash balance required - Net cash balance
DATA
Opening cash balance - 8600
Cash receipts- 548,570
Cash payment - 567,610
Net cash balance = 8600 + 548,570 - 567,610 = (10,440)
The amount of cash to be borrowed = 7,600 - (10,440)
=7,600+10,440=18040
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Note a negative amount of 10,400 would mean that that would be first borrowed to balance the deficit, and to take the balance to the minimum required cash balance, an addition 7,600 would need to be borrowed.
Bermuda Triangle Corporation (BTC) currently has 390,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell for $102 per share. Assume no market imperfections or tax effects exist. Determine the share price and new number of shares outstanding if: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your price per share answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16, and shares outstanding answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a. BTC has a five-for-three stock split. b. BTC has a 10 percent stock dividend. c. BTC has a 37.0 percent stock dividend. d. BTC has a four-for-seven reverse stock split.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of each points is shown below:-
a. BTC has a five-for-three stock split is
New price = Old price × Split ratio
= 102 × 3 ÷ 5
= 61.2
New shares outstanding = old shares outstanding ÷ Split ratio
= 390,000 × 5 ÷ 3
= 650,000
b. BTC has a 10 percent stock dividend is
New price = Old price ÷ (1 + Stock dividend)
= 102 ÷ (1 + 0.1)
= 92.73
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding × (1 + Stock dividend)
= 390,000 × (1 + 0.1)
= 429,000
c. BTC has a 37.0 percent stock dividend is
New price = Old price ÷ (1 + Stock dividend)
= 102 ÷ (1 + 0.37)
= 74.45
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding × (1 + Stock dividend)
= 390,000 × (1 + 0.37)
= 534,300
d. BTC has a four-for-seven reverse stock split is
New price = Old price × Split ratio
= 102 × (7 ÷ 4)
= 178.5
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding ÷ Split ratio
= 390,000 × (4 ÷ 7)
= 222,857.14

Answer:
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Explanation:
In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.
Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
You need a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $320,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 6.15 percent APR for this 360-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,600, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment.
How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,600? Please show and explain all work.
Answer:
$362,353
Explanation:
In order to answer this question I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the remaining principal balance at the end of the 30th year.
The problem with this loan is that the interests charged for the first month only are $1,640. This means that your monthly payment will not even cover the interest expense which means that the principal will grow month after month. After 360 months, your loan balance will increase from $320,000 to $362,353.
Cost reduction is still the number one priority for many supply chain executives, according to the MHI and Deloitte survey. Select one: True False
Answer:
MHI and Deloitte Survey
Cost Reduction #1 Priority

How have or will external factors result in the overhaul of a traditional industry of your choice (such as retail or any other) as we know it? Please explain and cite examples.
Explanation:
External factors can directly impact the revision of a traditional sector.
Considering the retail sector as an example, we can see how it was impacted by new technologies such as the insertion of commercial activities in an online environment.
New technologies such as the internet are tools for interaction and information exchange where companies can prospect customers and create relationship marketing that promotes greater value and positioning for a company.
For a retailer who wants to remain competitive, it is important to adapt to new ways of making sales, reinventing and updating their payment, delivery, sales and marketing processes and systems.
When a company constructs a building, the cost of the building includes materials and labor but not design fees, building permits, or insurance during construction.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are;
1. Operational costs: these include the costs on daily basis during the construction process such as rent, wages, sales, utility bills, maintenance and repair fees etc.
2. Capital costs: these include the costs incurred in the acquisition of the property such as commissions, insurance, property acquisition, materials, inflation, fittings, equipment, labor etc.

Preston Inc.'s stock has a 25% chance of producing a 30% return, a 50% chance of producing a 12% return, and a 25% chance of producing a -18% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return
Answer:
Expected return = 9%
Explanation:
A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The expected return on the stock would be the weighted average of all the return of the possible return weighted according to their probability.
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb) + (Wc*Rc)
R- possible return,W- probability
E(R) = (30%× 0.25) + (12%× 0.5) + (-18%× 0.25) = 9 %
Expected return = 9%
Note that the negative sign in the last possible return implies a loss.

On February 1, 2021, a company loans one of its employees $29,000 and accepts a ten-month, 8% note receivable. Calculate the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021
Answer:
Calculation of interest revenue:
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Feb. 1, 2021 Loan to employees = $29,000
Ten-month, 8% note receivable
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
The note is for 10 months, but the rate of interest is 8% per annum. After the rate is applied on the loan to get an interest of $2,320, this will then be multiplied by 10 and divided by 12 to get the 10 months interest revenue. These loans to employees are expected to be repaid by the end of November, 2021 with the interest.

Suppose instead you plan to hold the stock for one year. For what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year? c. Given your answer in (b), what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year? How does this compare to your answer in (a)?
Answer:
A.P(0)=$48.89
B.P(1)=$51.56
C.P(0)=$49.35
Explanation:
A. Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for two year
Using this formula
P(0)=Dividend per share/Percentage of Equity cost of capital +(Dividend next year+Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = 2.88/ 1.103 + (3.01+ 53.87) / 1.103^2=
P(0)=2.611+56.88/1.216609
P(0)=59.491/1.216609
P(0)=$48.89
b. Calculation for what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year
Using this formula
P(1)=(Dividend next year + Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(1) = (3.01 + 53.87) / 1.103 = $50.00
P(1)=56.88/1.103
P(1)=$51.56
c.Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year
Using this formula
P(0)=(Dividend per share + P(1)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = (2.88 + 51.56) / 1.103
P(0)=54.44/1.103

If you put up $39,000 today in exchange for a 6.5 percent, 16-year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$3,992.73
Explanation:
For computing the annual cash flow we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $39,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 6.5%
NPER = 16 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the annual cash flow is $3,992.73
If a firm has a levered beta of .9 and a debt to equity ratio of 1, what is the unlevered beta assuming a tax rate of 30%? (Round to the nearest hundredth)
Answer:
Unlevered beta = 0.53
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of systematic risk. Systematic risk is further divided into business and financial.
Business risk and financial risk. Business risk is that associated with the nature of the business operations that causes variability in the operating income of the business.
This is measured by the unlevered beta where the company has no debt finance.
Financial risk, on the other hand, is associated with use of debt finance . A company that uses a form of debt would face such risk . The systematic risk of such business would be measured using the levered beta.
The formula below shows the relationship:
βa = βe × Ve/ (Ve + Vd(1-T) )
βa -Unlevered beta
βe - Levered beta
Ve- Equity weight
Vd- Debt weight
T- Tax rate
DATA
βe- 0.9
βa- ?
Ve- 1
Vd- 1
T- 0.3
βa = 0.9 × 1/(1 + 1×(1-0.3)=0.529
βa - 0.53
Unlevered beta = 0.53
Flapjack Corporation had 7,600 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.41 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 950 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.0 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.00 per hour. The direct labor time variance is
Answer:
-$12,350 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct labor variance is shown below:
Labor time variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × standard rate
= (950 × 7.0 - 7,600) × $13
= (6,650 - 7,600) × $13
= -950 × $13
= -$12,350 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula by considering the given information
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is
Answer:
The cross elasticity of demand is zero
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.
If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.
If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity of demand between them would be positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.
Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.
