Answer:
1. The market rate of interest is higher than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
2. Debit Cash for $746,700,000; Dbit Discount on bond payable for $3,225,000; Debit Bond issue cost for $75,000; and Credit Bond payable for $750,000,000.
Explanation:
1. Based on the information provided in the announcement, indicate whether the market rate of interest is higher or lower than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
From the information provided, it can be observed that the face value of this bond is 100% but it is issued at 99.57% price. Since the issue price of 99.57% is less than the face value, this implies that the bond is issued at a discount.
When a bond is issued at a discount, it indicates the stated interest rate is lower than the market interest rate.
Therefore, the market rate of interest is higher than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
2. If debt issue costs were $75,000 and the bonds were issued on an interest payment date, what entry did Craft use to record the sale?
Before the journal entry is prepared, the following are first calculated:
Proceeds from bond issue = Bond price * Total face value = $750,000,000 * 99.57% = $746,775,000
Discount on bond = Total face value - Proceeds from bond issue = 750,000,000 - $746,775,000 = $3,225,000
Cash = Proceeds from bond issue - Debt issue costs = $746,775,000 - $75,000 = $746,700,000
The journal entry will now look as follows:
Description Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 746,700,000
Discount on bond payable 3,225,000
Bond issue cost 75,000
Bond payable 750,000,000
(To record bond issue at a discount.)

Superior Inc. is starting a new project. It plans to develop an online platform that allows for 3D printing of online purchases. This would effectively reduce the online purchases' delivery times to minutes. It expects this new product to be a great success and bring rapidly growing profits in the first few years. After that, it expects the competition to kick in which will reduce the growth of annual profits. The dividends on Superior Inc.'s shares will be growing accordingly. Here is the exact schedule of expected future dividends:
Most recently paid dividend is $4.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends for the first 3 years is 50%.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends after that is 10%.
Discount rate for this company is 15%.
Required:
Calculate the price per share of stock of Superior Inc.
Answer:
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
Explanation:
The 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 DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 4 * (1+0.5) / (1+0.15) + 4 * (1+0.5)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
4 * (1+0.5)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 + [(4 * (1+0.5)^3 * (1+0.1) / (0.15 - 0.1)) / (1+0.15)^3]
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____________ and ___________. Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.
The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.
Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.
Answer:
non rival, non excludable
$5040
greater
will
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay
Stephanie Robbins is attempting to perform an inventory analysis on one of her most popular products. Annual demand for this product is 5,000 units; carrying cost is $50 per unit per year; order costs for her company typically run nearly $30 per order; and lead time averages 10 days. (Assume 250 working days per year.) a) The economic order quantity is b) The average inventory is c) The optimal number of orders per year is d) The optimal number of working days between orders is e) The total annual inventory cost (carrying costordering cost) is f) The reorder point is
Solution :
Given :
The annual demand, [tex]$D=5000$[/tex] units
Ordering cost, [tex]$S=\$30$[/tex]
Carrying cost, [tex]$H=\$50$[/tex]
Lead time, L = 10 days
Number of days per year = 250 days
So, average demand is d = [tex]$\frac{D}{250}$[/tex] days
= [tex]$\frac{5000}{250}$[/tex] = 20 units
a). The economic order quantity, Q = [tex]$\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 5000 \times 30}{50}}$[/tex]
= 77 units
b). Average inventory = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{77}{2}$[/tex]
≈ 39 units
c). Number of orders per year = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5000}{77}$[/tex]
= 65 units
d). Time between orders = [tex]$\frac{Q}{D}$[/tex] x number of days per year
[tex]$=\frac{77}{5000} \times250$[/tex]
= 3.85
e). Annual ordering cost = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q} \times S$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5000}{77} \times 30$[/tex]
= $ 1948.05
Annual carrying cost = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2} \times H$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{77}{2} \times 50$[/tex]
= $ 1925
Total annual cost of inventory = $ 1948.05 + $ 1925
= $ 3873.05
f). Reorder point = [tex]$d \times L$[/tex]
[tex]$=20 \times 10$[/tex]
[tex]$=200$[/tex] units

= $131,600.
c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:
= $559,400.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations;
Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000
Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)
Borrowing rate = 13.4%
Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846
Depreciation = $362,000
Taxable income = $329,000
Gross savings = $X
$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)
Income tax for the 1st year:
Marginal tax rate = 40%
Taxable income = $329,000
= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)
After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:
Gross savings = $804,846
Interest expense 113,846
Depreciation 362,000

Yuri owns just one ship, he calls it Previt. The ship is worth $25 million dollars. If the ship sinks, Yuri loses $25 million. The probability that it will sink is .02. Yuri's total wealth, including the value of the ship is $50 million. He is an expected utility maximizer with utility U(W) equal to W2. What is the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
Answer:
$745,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
First step is to calculate the Expected Utility (√W)
Expected Utility = (98% x √$25,000,000) + (2% x √$0)
Expected Utility = $4,900
Second step is to calculate the Fair premium of insurance policy using this formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = Probability of loss x Size of loss
Let plug in the formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = 2% x $25,000,000
Fair premium of insurance policy = $500,000
Third step is to calculate the Maximum premium using this formula
Maximum premium = Maximum utility - Expected Utility²
Let Plug in the formula
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $4,900²
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $24,010,000
Maximum premium= $990,000
Now let calculate the Maximum amount willing to pay using this formula
Maximum amount willing to pay = (Fair premium + Maximum premium) / 2
Let plug in the formula
Maximum amount willing to pay= ($ 500,000 + $990,000) / 2
Maximum amount willing to pay=$1,490,000/2
Maximum amount willing to pay= $745,000
Therefore the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship is $745,000
Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen?
Answer:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 10 years
Future value (FV)= $10,000
We were not provided with the interest rate. I will assume an interest rate of 7% compounded annually.
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 10,000 / (1.07^10)
PV= $5,083.49
Initial investment= $5,083.49
Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)
Answer:
the cash that should be freed up is $267
Explanation:
The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:
As we know that
The inventory turnover is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
12 = $14,800 ÷ average inventory
So, the average inventory is 1,233
Now the cash that should be freed up is
= 1,500 - 1,233
= $267
hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267
Identify the opportunity below that could enable an employee to commit fraud. Group of answer choices An employee's spouse loses her job. The company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow. The employee is experiencing financial hardship. An employee is upset that he was passed over for a promotion.
Answer:
The employee is experiencing financial hardship.
Explanation:
Fraud is best understood by the Fraud Triangle: pressure, opportunity and tone. Therefore for fraud to occur there must be pressure felt by employee for lack of funds, where opportunity to commit fraud exists and when the company's tone provides the means to justify employee's fraudulent behaviour.
In the given question, where an employee's spouse loses her job there is neither any opportunity nor tone of the company to commit fraud.
For the issue where company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow, there is tone of the company to commit fraud but there is no pressure nor any opportunity to commit fraud.
The employee is experiencing financial hardship, this is a possible opportunity to commit fraud. As there is pressure and opportunity for the employee to go through it.
In the final option, the fact of being upset does creates a reason for fraud but due to lack of any financial pressure the fraud would not occur.
During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.
Answer:
d.$5,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:
= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals
= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500
= $5,500
hence, the deductible expense is $5,500
Here we take 100% of airfare & lodging but we took 50% for the meals
hence, the option d is correct

Use the following information to answer question. Madelyn owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1,000 pieces of pottery per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Madelyn $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1,000 pieces of pottery. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10 percent (assume that she could have loaned her money out at 10 percent, too). Madelyn can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000 per year.
Required:
The economic profit at madelyn's pottery factory is:_________
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Total number of pieces per year = 1,000
Selling price per piece = $100 per piece
So, Total revenue = $100 × 1,000 = $100,000
Raw material = $20,000
Investment = $100,000
So, interest on investment = 10% × $100,000 = $10,000
Opportunity cost = $40,000
So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula,
Economic profit = Total revenue - Raw material - interest on investment - Opportunity cost
By putting the value, we get
Economic profit = $100,000 - $20,000 - $10,000 - $40,000
= $30,000
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.
Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:
= 400,000 /20,000
= $20 per unit
Therefore, total sales was gotten as:
= 26000 × $20
= $520,000
Variable cost per unit was calculated as:
= 80,000/20,000
= $4 per unit
Then, total cost was:
= $4 × 26,000
= $104,000

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true regarding the variance/standard deviation of a portfolio of two risky securities? I. The lower the coefficient of correlation between securities, the greater the reduction in the portfolio variance. II. There is a linear relationship between the securities' coefficient of correlation and the portfolio variance. III. The standard deviation of the portfolio decreases at an increasing rate as more stocks are added to the portfolio
Answer:
The degree to which the portfolio variance is reduced depends on the degree of correlation between securities
Explanation:
The variance of a portfolio of 2 risky assets can be equal to zero if the association or connection between the two securities is equal to minus one likewise the investment opportunity set of 2 risky assets shows that all risk-return is an association or combinations of any portfolio of the two securities.
The variance of a portfolio of risky securities is usually said to be the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.
The standard deviation of a portfolio of risky securities is commonly defined as the square root of the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.
The expected return of a portfolio of risky securities is said to be a weighted average of the securities' returns.

Copper and nickel electroless plating processes are under consideration for printed circuit boards. The copper process has fixed costs of $110,000 per year with a variable cost of $50 per batch. The nickel process has a fixed cost of $85,000 per year and a variable cost of $90 per batch. Determine the number of batches that must be produced each year in order for the processes to break even.
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
The question has missing sales price information, however explanations are provided below
Break even point is the level at which a company makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Step 1 :
Find Contribution per unit of each process and add the unit contributions to find the total unit contribution
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
Step 2
Find the Total Fixed Costs for both the copper process and nickel process.
Step 3
Determine the sales mix for copper process and nickel process
Step 4
Calculate the Break even units for the 2 processes combined. After that multiply the respective mixes to the break even point
Suppose you invest $20,000 by purchasing 200 shares of Abbott Labs (ABT) at $50 per share, 200 shares of Lowes Companies, Inc. (LOW) at $30 per share, and 100 shares of Ball Corporation (BLL) at $40 per share. Suppose over the next year Ball Corporation has a return of 12.5%, Lowes Companies has a return of 20%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%. The return on your portfolio over the year is:
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
Explanation:
The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the portfolio return is as follows,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stockFirst we need to calculate the investment of each stock,
Abbott = 200 * 50 = $10000
Lowes = 200 * 30 = $6000
Ball = 100 * 40 = $4000
Portfolio return = (10000 / 20000) * -0.10 + (6000/20000) * 0.20 +
(4000/20000) * 0.125
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
A bicameral legislature is made up of how many bodies?
O one
O two
O three
O four
Answer:
two
Explanation:
A bicameral legislature is made up of two bodies. Thus, option B is the correct option.
What is a bicameral legislature?A bicameral legislature, which is distinguished by having two distinct assemblies, chambers, or houses, is one that practices bicameralism. Unicameralism, in which all members discuss and vote as a single body, is distinct from bicameralism. Bicameralism will be used by about 40% of national legislatures throughout the world as of 2022, compared to 60% at the national level and significantly more at the subnational level for unicameralism.
The techniques used to elect or choose the members of the two chambers sometimes varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This frequently results in the membership of the two chambers being significantly different. Primary legislation frequently has to be approved by majorities in both houses of the legislature in order to be passed. If this is the case, the legislature may be seen as the epitome of bicameralism.
