Explanation:
Terminal cash flow = After tax salvage value of new machine + Recovery of net working capital
Terminal cash flow = $6,000 + $3,520
Terminal cash flow = $9,520
So, the new machine's terminal cash is $9,520.
A worker who loses a job at a call center because business firms switch the call center to another country is an example of which type of unemployment?
Answer:
"Structural unemployment" is the right approach.
Explanation:
The terminology economists mischaracterize unemployment, which seems to be the consequences of such an absence or failure of coordination of talents as well as of opportunities, is defined as Structural unemployment.This would be caused by economic shifts that prevent jobless persons from finding opportunities throughout different firms with very high qualifications.Marston Manufacturing Company is considering a project that requires an investment in new equipment of $3,400,000, with an additional $170,000 in shipping and installation costs. Marston estimates that its accounts receivable and inventories need to increase by $680,000 to support the new project, some of which is financed by a $272,000 increase in spontaneous liabilities (accounts payable and accruals).

= $3,175 - $1,645
= $1,530
2018 Net working capital
= $2,920 - $1,620
= $1,300
Change in net working capital
= $1,300 - $1,530
= -$230
Therefore the company's 2018 change in net working capital is ($230).

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $80 is priced at $1,000.What will be the realized compound return if the one-year interest rate next year turns out to be 6%?
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will be the realized compound
First step is to calculate the new price
Using this formula
New price of the bond = PV of the final coupon payment + PV of the maturity amount.
Let plug in the formula
New price of the bond=80/1+r+1,000/1+r
Where,
r represent the yield to maturity
Second step is to Substitute 0.06 for r in the above equation
New price of the bond =80/1+0.06+1000/1+0.06
New price of the bond=1080/1.06
New price of the bond=1018.87
Now let Calculate the rate of return of the bond
Using this formula
Rate of return=Coupon+New price-old price/Initial price
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return=$80+1018.87-1000/1000
Rate of return=98.87/1000
Rate of return=0.09887*100
Rate of return= 9.887%
Rate of return=10% Appropriately
Therefore what will be the realized compound is 10%

12-3. (Break-even point and selling price) Simple Metal Works, Inc. will manufacture and sell 300,000 units next year. Fixed costs will total $350,000, and variable costs will be 65 percent of sales. The firm wants to achieve a level of earnings before interest and taxes of $250,000. What selling price per unit is necessary to achieve this result
Answer:
Selling price= $5.08
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 300,000
Fixed costs= $350,000
Desired profit= $250,000
Variable cost rate= 0.65
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin using the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
300,000 = (350,000 + 250,000) / contribution margin per unit
300,000 contribution margin per unit = 600,000
contribution margin per unit= 600,000/300,000
contribution margin per unit= $2
If the variable cost rate is 0.65, then:
Unitary varaible cost= 2/0.65= $3.08
Selling price= contribution margin per unit - unitary varaible cost
Selling price= 2 - (-3.08)
Selling price= $5.08
Atlas Corporation reported the following earnings per share information in its current annual report. The company has only one class of stock outstanding.

c. $1.69 and $1.65.d. $1.69 and $1.18.
e. none of these are correct.
Answer:
c. $1.69 and $1.65
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Basic EPS
Using this formula
Basic EPS =Net income/Weighted average common shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Basic EPS = $7,121 / 4,221
Basic EPS = $1.69
Calculation for Diluted EPS
Using this formula
Diluted EPS=Net income/Weighted average dilutive shares
Let plug in the formula
Diluted EPS = $7,121 / 4,305
Diluted EPS = $1.65
Therefore Basic and diluted earnings per share were, respectively:$1.69 and $1.65
"Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Face value of the bonds is $1000. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. The company also has 750,000 shares of 7% preferred stock (stated value=$100) and 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The preferred stock sells for $65 a share. The common stock has a beta of 1.34 and sells for $42 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 2.8% and the return on the market is 11.2%. The corporate tax rate is 38%. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?"
Answer:
9.27 %
Explanation:
weighted average cost of capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock
therefore,
weighted average cost of capital = 14,056 % x 44.92 %+ 4.65 % x 32.25% + 7.00 % x 20.86%
= 9.27 %
where,
cost of equity = risk free rate + beta x market premium
= 14.056%

The bonds pay semi-annual coupons at an annual rate of 9.05%, have 6 years to maturity and a face value of $1,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $30 a share and has a beta of 1. The bonds sell for 94% of face value and have a 10.42% yield to maturity. The market risk premium is 5.5%, T-bills are yielding 5% and the tax rate is 30%. What is the firm's capital structure weight for equity
Answer:
54.48%
Explanation:
The computation of the weight of equity is given below;
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Total Equity
= 3 million shares × $30
= $90 million
The Value of Debt,
Total Debt = 80,000 (1,000)(0.94)
= $75.2 million
Now the weight of equity is
= $90 million ÷ ($90 million + $75.2 million)
= 54.48%
A car dealership was trying to sell a used car that no one wanted. First, they tried to sell it for 10% off the marked price. Then they tried to sell it for 20% off the first sale price. Finally, they offered it for 25% off the second sale price, and someone bought it for $3,240. What was the original sale price?
Answer:
Original Sale Price = $6000
Explanation:
Lets say that the original Sale price is 100%. When the first discount is offered, the car is discounted by 10% and offered for 90% of the original price.
The second discount is offered as 20% off from the discounted sale price. Thus the car is now offered at,
Price after Second Discount = 90% * (1 - 20%) = 72% of the original price
Now the final discount is offered as further 25% off from the Second Discounted price which is already 72% of the original price. Thus the price after final discount will be,
Price after final discount = 72% * (1 - 25%) = 54% of the original price
We know the price after final discount is 54% of the original price and we are provided the amount as 3240. Thus if 54% of original price is 3240, then the original price will be,
Original Sale Price = 3240 * 100%/54%
Original Sale Price = $6000

Kelly Corporation acquires all of the assets and liabilities of Lawson Co. at an acquisition cost that is $50 million above the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Three months after the acquisition, it is determined that because of a downturn in the economy after the acquisition, acquired brand names with indefinite lives are worth $5,000,000 less than originally estimated. The entry to reflect this new information includes:
Answer: A. A credit to goodwill of $5,000,000
Explanation:
When a company is bought for more than the fair value of its identifiable net assets, the premium paid is called goodwill. If after the acquisition, it is discovered that one of the reasons for coming up with that goodwill is no longer viable, the goodwill can be reduced or impaired.
This is the case here. The brand names are worth less than they should so goodwill will have to be adjusted downwards to reflect that. As goodwill is an asset, reducing it would mean crediting it so goodwill should be credited by the $5,000,000 amount.
On Point, Inc., is interested in producing and selling a deluxe electric pencil sharpener. Market research indicates that customers are willing to pay $40 for such a sharpener and that 20,000 units could be sold each year at this price. The cost to produce the sharpener is currently estimated to be $34. a. If On Point requires a 20 percent return on sales to undertake production of a product, what is the target cost for the new pencil sharpener
Answer: $32
Explanation:
The target cost would be such that 20% of the $40 that people are willing to pay would be profit.
The target profit is therefore:
= 20% * 40
= $8
Target cost is therefore:
= Amount customers would pay - Target profit
= 40 - 8
= $32
Answer:
The answer is $32 for sure :)

In X1, Adam and Jason formed ABC, LLC, a car dealership in Kansas City. In X2, Adam and Jason realized they needed an advertising expert to assist in their business. Thus, the two members offered Cory, a marketing expert, a one-third capital interest in their partnership for contributing his expert services. Cory agreed to this arrangement and received his capital interest in X2. If the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 when Cory receives his one-third capital interest, which of the following tax consequences does not occur in X2?A. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.C. Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.D. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2, and Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.
Answer: B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, since the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 after Cory receives his one-third capital interest, Cory will report (⅓ × $180000) = $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.
Also, Adam and Jason will receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2. The sentence that "Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2" is wrong. They do not get sane amount as Cory gets a higher amount.
There are two primary means to earn income as a stockholder. The first method is dividend income and the second method is earnings from capital gains. With respect to the investor seeking dividend income, when the investor buys a stock from a corporation with a primary focus to earn dividend income they will typically expect a higher dividend on common stock versus preferred stock. Discuss the dividend payment requirements of a common stock versus preferred stock, in terms of which type of stock has a primary claim on dividend distributions. Explain why the common stock investor demands a higher dividend rate.
Answer:
1. Dividend Payment Requirements:
a. Common stock dividend rates are not fixed, unlike the preferred stock dividends. They are not cumulative like cumulative preferred stock. They are only paid when the directors declare them.
b. Preferred stockholders usually have a fixed rate of dividend. They have preference over common stockholders in dividend payments. Some preferred stockholders enjoy cumulative dividends, unlike common stockholders.
2. Common stockholders expect higher dividends than the preferred stockholders because they bear the residual business risks associated with the company.
Explanation:
Dividend income results when management declares it to be paid to the stockholders. They are usually paid out of earned income. The discretion to declare dividends lies solely with management. On the other hand, stockholders can decide to take advantage of the movements in stock prices at the stock exchange by earning capital gains through selling their shares. This income is not at the discretion of management insofar as the entity is being run profitably.
Between a preferred stock and a common stock, a preferred stock has a primary claim on dividend distributions.
Common stock investors demand a higher dividend rate because their dividend income is variable when compared to with preferred stocks.
What are common stocks and preferred stocks?Common stocks are stocks that gives its holders ownership rights in the company. Common stock holders are paid dividends when declared.
Preferred stock are hybrid financial instrument. They are a cross between bonds and stocks. Preferred stock holders received fixed dividend payment.

In working with a client named Fred, you realize that he did not report income that he should have on a return. Fred reported $10,000 of income on the return but should have reported $13,500. What is Fred’s obligation going forward regarding this incident?
a) Fred must maintain records for 5 years from the year the return was filed
b) Fred must maintain records for 6 years from the year the return was filed
c) Fred must maintain records for 8 years from the year the return was filed
d) Fred must maintain records for 10 years from the year the return was filed
Answer:
b) Fred must maintain records for 6 years from the year the return was filed
Explanation:
A person that prepares tax is required by the Internal Revenue Service to keep tax returns and supporting documents for at least 3 years.
However when the tax preparer fails to report correct income amount they are required to keep records for at least the last 6 years.
The underreported income must be greater than 25% of the income.
In the given scenario the Fred reported $10,000 instead of $13,500.
The unreported amount is $3,500
Percentage not reported = (3,500 ÷ 13,500) * 100 = 25.925%
So Fred will need to keep records for the next 6 years

a. We have assumed a simple world in which there are only two countries.
b. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic.
c. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country.
d. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing fertilizers.
e. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.
The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $60,000 in 2011 after paying $20,000 cash dividends in each of 2010 and 2009. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2011?
a. 28000
b. 30000
c. 50000
d. 25000
Answer:
Option a (28000) is the right option.
Explanation:
Given:
Preferred stock,
= $400,000
In year 2009 and 2010, the dividends paid,
= $20,000 each year
Dividends declared,
= $60,000
Now,
The preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]Preferred \ stock\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]400000\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]24,000[/tex] ($)
Arrears in preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]24000-20000[/tex]
= [tex]4000[/tex] ($)
For preferred stock, the total dividends arrears will be,
= [tex]4000\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]8000[/tex] ($)
hence,
The dividends which are received by the common stock holders will be:
= [tex]Dividends \ declared-Preferred \ dividend-Arrears \ in \ preferred \ dividend[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]60000-24000-8000[/tex]
= [tex]28000[/tex]
Mars, Inc. follows IFRS for its external financial reporting, while Jerome Company uses GAAP for its external financial reporting. During the year ended December 31, 2021, both companies changed from using the completed-contract method of revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts to the percentage-of-completion method. Both companies experienced an indirect effect, related to increased profit-sharing payments in 2021, of $30,000. As a result of this change, how much expense related to the profit-sharing payment must be recognized by each company on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021
Answer:
Mars, Inc (IFRS) and Jerome Company (GAAP) for External Reporting
Change from completed-contract method of revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts to the percentage-of-completion method.
Mars, Inc Jerome Company
Expenses to be recognized $0 $30,000
Explanation:
GAAP and IFRS previously recognized two methods for accounting for long-term construction contracts: the completed contract method and the percentage of completion method. GAAP allowed for an adjustment to be made to the income as a result of a change in method for unrecognized expenses in the previous period, whereas IFRS did not allow such an adjustment. However, the harmonized revenue standards under GAAP ASC 606 and IFRS 15 now stress the performance obligations that have been met under any contract as the standard criteria to measure revenue recognition.
Northern Company has the following information available for the past quarter: Division A Division B Division C Sales $250,000 $400,000 $350,000 Variable expenses 52% 30% 40% Fixed expenses controllable by division manager $60,000 $200,000 $175,000 Fixed expenses controllable by others $10,000 $5,000 $7,500 Unallocated expenses for all three divisions are $22,000. What is the contribution controllable by the division manager in Division C
Answer:
Controllable contribution = $35,000
Explanation:
The controllable contribution of the divisional manager is the difference between the sales revenue and the costs controllable by the manager. It is a metric to measure the performance of a divisional manager
sales revenue = $350,000
Variable expenses = 40%× 350,000
Controllable costs = (40%×350,000)+ 175,000= 315,000
Controllable contribution= $350,000 - 315,000 = 35,000
Controllable contribution = $35,000
There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $35,265 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: First Year Second Year Third Year Total Alpha Project $32,000 $22,500 $4,500 $59,000 Beta Project 8,000 23,000 27,627 58,627 A. Calculate the internal rate of return on both projects. Use the IRR spreadsheet function to calculate internal rate of return. Alpha Project fill in the blank 1 68.275 % Beta Project fill in the blank 2 % B. Make a recommendation on which one to accept.
Answer:
Alpha = 42%
25%
I would accept the alpha project because it has the higher IRR
Explanation:
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 with a financial calculator
Alpha
Cash flow in year 0 = $-35,265
Cash flow in year 1 = $32,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $4,500
IRR = 42%
Beta
Cash flow in year 0 = $-35,265
Cash flow in year 1 =8,000
Cash flow in year 2 =23,000
Cash flow in year 3 =27,627
IRR = 25%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
