Answer:
d. either U.S. imports decrease or U.S. exports increase
Explanation:
International trade occurs when countries buy and sell between themselves. This results from one country's comparative advantage in producing a good over other countries.
As a result when a country exports a lot of goods it's currency is in high demand. This is because the other country has to buy in the home country's currency, so large volume of export means large demand for the country's currency.
It also follows that when it's imports decreases it's currency will also be in high demand since less of it is being given to buy foreign goods.

Use the following information to calculate the dollar cost of using a money market hedge to hedge 200,000 pounds of payables due in 180 days. Assume the firm has no excess cash. Assume the spot rate of the pound is $2.02, the 180-day forward rate is $2.00. The British interest rate is 6%, and the U.S. interest rate is 4% over the 180-day period. $351,210. $381,210. $371,210. $400,152
Answer:
$400,152
Explanation:
Given :
Amounts payable = 200,000 pounds
Fuds required = [tex]$\frac{200,000}{1+0.06 \times \frac{180}{360}}$[/tex]
= 194,174.76 pounds
Cost of dollars = 194,174.76 x 2.02
= $ 392,233
Therefore, the amount borrowed today in dollars = $ 392,233
The payment of loan after the 180 days = [tex]$392,233 \times \left( 1 + 0.04 \times \frac{180}{360}\right)$[/tex]
= $ 400,077.67
= $ 400,152 (rounding off)
The number of days taken in a year = 360
oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.

You run a coffee shop where demand is constant week to week. You use 10 bags of roasted coffee each week. Currently, you order whole roasted coffee beans from an out-of-town supplier who charges $20 per bag and a fixed cost of $100 per delivery. Storage for each bag per month is estimated at $1. Assume your coffee shop operates for 52 weeks and 12 months per year. Assume there are no lead times.
Required:
a. Under these costs, what is the optimal order size (in bags)?
b. How often (in months) do I place an order under my solution to part a?
c. What are my annual total costs (including purchasing costs) under my solution to part a?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Under these costs, what is the optimal order size (in bags)?
Periods per year = 52 weeks.
Weekly demand = 10bags
Annual demand, D = 10 × 52 = 520
Set up cost, S = $100
Item cost = $20.00
Holding cost per year, H= $12.00
We'll then calculate the economic order quantity, Q which will be:
= ✓2×S×D/H
= ✓(2×100×520/12
= ✓104000/12
= ✓8667
= 93
Optimal order size = 93 bags
b. How often (in months) do I place an order under my solution to part a?
Time between orders will be:
= Period per year / Orders per year
= 12 / 5.59
= 2.15
c. What are my annual total costs (including purchasing costs) under my solution to part a?
Annual total cost will be:
= Holding cost + Order cost + Purchase cost
= $11,517.14
Note that:
Orders per year = D/Q = 520/93 = 5.59

Basic earnings per share for 2021 is (rounded to the nearest penny)
Answer:
Basic earnings per share(EPS)=$2.90
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock .
It represents profit per unit of stock unit held by common stock holder investor. The higher, the more profitable and the better.
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders / units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Net Income 2021= $590,000=
Preference Dividend =$2 × 19,000=$38,000
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for 2021=
=$590,000-$38,000=$552,000
Basic Earnings per share=$552,000/190,000 shares=$2.90

Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise gross profits by $4,500,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of seven years and will be depreciated over those seven years. The marginal tax rate is 40%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0?
A) -$10,020,000
B) -$7,000,000
C) -$9,018,000
D) $1,002,857
Answer:
A) -$10,020,000
Explanation:
Year 0 cash flow = -(Cost of Machine + Installation Cost + Clean Room Cost)
Year 0 cash flow = -($7,000,000 + $20,000 + $3,000,000)
Year 0 cash flow = -$10,200,000
So, the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0 is ($10,200,000).
The board of directors of Swifty Corporation declared a cash dividend of $2.75 per share on 40000 shares of common stock on July 15, 2020. The dividend is to be paid on August 15, 2020, to stockholders of record on July 31, 2020. The effects of the journal entry to record the payment of the dividend on August 15, 2020, are to increase stockholders’ equity and decrease assets. decrease liabilities and decrease assets. increase stockholders’ equity and increase liabilities. decrease stockholders’ equity and decrease liabilities.
Answer:
a. Decrease liabilities and decrease assets
Explanation:
First option "Decrease liabilities and decrease assets" is the correct option as far as only payment part of Journal entry is concerned.
Since Dividend is declared on 15 July on That date entry would have been:
Shareholder's Equity........Dr
To Dividend Payable(Liability) A/c......Cr
Then, on Payment date i.e. 15 august entry would be:
Dividend Payable(Liability)A/c.......Dr
To cash/Bank A/c..........Cr
Therefore, Liability is Decrease also asset is decreased on 15th August, 2020.
g Customers arrive at the window at a rate of 12 per hour and it take the teller 4 minutes, on average, to serve a customer. Use this information to calculate the requested items in columns a and b. The BHFC's operations manager is considering adding a second window to this branch which would cost the bank $20,000 annually. The operations manager also estimates the bank's revenue will increase by $2,000 annually for each minute of reduction in custimer waiting time. Should the BHFC add the second window?
Answer:
The BHFC
The BHFC should add the second window as it will half customer's waiting time and increase revenue for the branch.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Customers arrival rate at the window = 12/hour
equivalent to 12/60 minutes or 1/5 minutes
Time the teller takes to serve a customer = 4 minutes
Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour = 48 minutes
Cost of adding a second window to the branch = $20,000
Savings in reducing customer waiting time = $2,000
Average customer waiting time = 4 minutes
Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour using the second window = 24 minutes (48/2)
Therefore, customers waiting time will half to 2 minutes (4/2)
Increase in revenue by the reduction in customer waiting time = $2,000 * 24 = $48,000
Net saving = $28,000 ($48,000 - $20,000)
A company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 22,000 defective units that cost $6 per unit to manufacture. The units can be sold as is for $2.00 each, or they can be reworked for $4.50 each and then sold for the full price of $8.50 each. If the units are sold as is, the company will be able to build 22,000 replacement units at a cost of $6 each, and sell them at the full price of $8.50 each.
What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units? Should the company sell the units as scrap or rework them? (Deductible amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Sell as scrap Rework
Sales of scrap units
Sales of reworked units
Cost to rework units
Opportunity cost of not making new units
Incremental income (loss) $0 $0
The company should:
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Sell as scrap:
Sales of scrap units:
= 22000 × $2.00
= $44,000
Rework:
Sale of reworked unit = 22000 × $8.50 = $187,000
- Cost to rework unit = 22000 × $4.50 = $99,000
- Opportunity cost of not making new unit = 22000 × ($8.50 - $6) = $45000
Incremental income(loss) = $33000
Since the incremental Income from scrap is more than reworking, then it implies that the company should sell as scrap.
Answer:
A. Sales as scrap $44,000
Rework $33,000
B. The company should sell as scrap
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
SALES AS SCRAP REWORK
Sales of scrap units $44,000 $0
( 22000 × $2.00)
Sale of reworked unit $0 $187,000
( 22000 × $8.50 )
Less Cost to rework unit $0 ($99,000)
(22000 × $4.50)
Less Opportunity cost of not making new unit
$0 ($55,000)
[22000 × ($8.50 - $6)]
Incremental income(loss) $44,000 $33,000
Therefore the incremental income from selling the units as scrap is $44,000 and reworking and selling the units is $33,000
B. Based on the above calculation the company should sell as SCRAP because the incremental income of SALES AS SCRAP is higher than that of rework.
Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $26.10 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.
Answer:
Original Cost = $26.10
Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years
Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million
Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $14.5 million
Remaining Life = 6 - 4
Remaining Life = 2 Years
New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life
New Amortization = $14.5/2
New Amortization = $7.25 million
Journal Entry
Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

The company has been experiencing losses on its bilge pump product line for several years. The most recent quarterly contribution format income statement for the bilge pump product line follows: Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A. Income Statement—Bilge Pump For the Quarter Ended March 31 Sales $ 850,000 Variable expenses: Variable manufacturing expenses $ 330,000 Sales commissions 42,000 Shipping 18,000 Total variable expenses 390,000 Contribution margin 460,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) 270,000 Depreciation of equipment (no resale value) 80,000 General factory overhead 105,000 * Salary of product-line manager 32,000 Insurance on inventories 8,000 Purchasing department 45,000 † Total fixed expenses 540,000 Net operating loss $ (80,000 ) *Common costs allocated on the basis of machine-hours. †Common costs allocated on the basis of sales dollars. Discontinuing the bilge pump product line would not affect sales of other product lines and would have no effect on the company’s total general factory overhead or total Purchasing Department expenses. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line?
Answer:
-$150,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line
First step is to calculate the fixed expense
Using this formula
Fixed expense
= Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) + Salary of product-line manager + Insurance on inventories
Let plug in the formula
Fixed expense= 270,000 + 32,000 + $8,000
Fixed expense= $310,000
Now let calculate the financial advantage (disadvantage)
Using this formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = Fixed expense-Contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = $310,000-460,000
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = -$150,000
Therefore the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line is -$150,000
Assume that three identical units of merchandise are purchased during October, as follows: Units Cost October 5 Purchase 1 $ 5 12 Purchase 1 7 28 Purchase 1 9 Total 3 $21 Assume one unit is sold on October 31 for $15. Determine Cost of Merchandise Sold, Gross profit, and Ending Inventory under the FIFO method.
Answer:
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory=$16
Gross profit =$20
Explanation:
Under the FIFO system , inventories are priced using the price of the oldest batch in the stock, after which the price of the next oldest batch and this is done in turn. It is based on the principle that the first batch that arrives the store should be issued first.
Using the FIFO method of the perpetual inventory, the 1 unit sold by the company will be priced as follows:
1 units at a price of $5 = 1× $5= $5
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory = Total cost of golds in stock less the cost of goods sold
= 21 - 5= 16
Gross profit = Sales value - cost of goods sold
= $15-$5= $20
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory=$16
Gross profit =$20

Marston Manufacturing Company is considering a project that requires an investment in new equipment of $3,600,000, with an additional $180,000 in shipping and installation costs. Marston estimates that its accounts reveivable and inventories need to increase by $720,000 to support the new project, some of which is financed by $288,000 increase in spontaneous liabilites (accounts payable and accruals).
The total cost of Martson's new equipment is ___________
a. $3,780,000
b. $4,212,000
c. $720,000
Answer:
a. $3,780,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows
New equipment = $3,600,000
Shipping and installation = $180,000
We can calculate the total cost of Martson's new equipment by using following formula,
Total Cost = New equipment cost + Shipping and Installation cost
By putting the value, we get
Total Cost = $3,600,000 + $180,000
= $3,780,000
The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

A standard hour incentive plan is likely to be successful if :_________
a. employers keep labor costs to a minimum.
b. the organization values employee satisfaction, product quality, and customer service more than profits.
c. most or all of a salesperson's compensation is in the form of commissions.
d. the pay increase is linked to ratings on performance appraisals.
e. employees want the extra money more than they want to work at a pace that feels comfortable.
Answer: employees want the extra money more than they want to work at a pace that feels comfortable
Explanation:
A standard hour plan is based on the units that employees produce and once that unit is met, a set hourly wage is paid to the employees and an incentive can be given once the standard number of hours is exceeded.
It should be noted that a standard hour incentive plan is likely to be successful if employees want the extra money more than they want to work at a pace that feels comfortable. This will motivate them to work for extra hours since they want the extra money.
Which of the following is not a way of creating agency in California?
Answer:
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.
Explanation:
1. Written or expressed - An oral or written contract in which the parties state the contract's terms and express their intentions in words. We agree orally to the terms of our agency relationship, wherein you will hire me to market your property or represent you as a buyer's agent.
2. Implied - A contract under which the agreement of the parties is demonstrated by their acts and conduct. Example: "I'll help you buy a house; so don't work with anyone else because I will be your agent. Let's go look at some houses today."
3. Ostensible Agency - An actual agency relationship that arises by the actions of the parties rather than by express agreement. For example, the owner of a property knows a broker is showing the owner's vacant lot to prospective buyers without authority to do so. Unless the owner takes steps to stop such unauthorized showings, the law considers that third parties have a just cause to believe the broker to be the "owner's broker." This situation is called an ostensible agency because on the surface an agency appears to exist. Once this type of agency is created, the owner is prevented by estoppel* from denying its existence.
*Estoppel - A legal doctrine by which a person is prevented from asserting rights or facts that are inconsistent with a previous position or representation made by act, conduct, or silence.
4. Ratification - A method of creating an agency relationship in which the principal (seller or buyer) accepts the conduct of someone who acted without prior authorization as the principal's agent. Example: A licensee who shows a property without the owner's prior approval, and then the owner agrees to work with the agent to sell the property.
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.

Assume that Jordan Enterprises's radio broadcast license is renewable at the end of each 10-year term and management has provided evidence that approval of the renewal is highly probable. In this case, the broadcast license qualifies as anindefinite-life intangible asset and is not subject to amortization. Therefore, the firm carries the broadcast license at its original cost of $786,000.
On December 31, 2015 the company noted substantial declines in radio advertising revenues over the past year due to expanded satellite radiosubscriptions, Internet broadcasts, and the use of iPod players. Based on the required annual review and consideration of the available impairment indicators, management believes that it is more likely than not that the broadcast license may be impaired. Therefore, the company must test the broadcast license for impairment. Similar broadcast licenses have been sold in auctions for $676,000.
Assuming that renewal of the broadcast license is probable for this indefinite-life intangible asset, analyze the accounting for impairment and prepare the journal entries.
1.) Conduct the impairment test indicated forindefinite-life intangible asset at the end of the year and determine the impairment loss, if any. (If you selected "No" that an impairment loss is not indicated, then leave the impairment loss input cell blank. Show a loss with a parentheses or minus sign.)
2.) Next, prepare the journal entry required to record any impairment loss. (Record debits first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries. If no entry is required select "No Entry Required" on the first line of the journal entry table and leave all remaining cells in the tableblank.)
Answer:
Jordan Enterprises
1) The impairment loss = $110,000.
2) Journal Entry to record the impairment loss:
Debit Broadcast License Impairment Loss $110,000
Credit Accumulated Impairment Loss $110,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Broadcast license original cost (book value) = $786,000
Market value of similar broadcast license = 676,000
Impairment loss = $110,000
b) US GAAP defines impairment loss as the decrease in an asset's net carrying value. This means that impairment loss arises when the book or net carrying value is greater than the future estimated cash flows or the market value of the asset.
Frances Newberry is the payroll accountant for Pack-It Services of Jackson, Arizona. The employees of Pack-It Services are paid semimonthly. An employee, Glen Riley, comes to her on November 6 and requests a pay advance of $1,050, which he will pay back in equal parts on the November 15 and December 15 paychecks. Glen is married with eight withholding allowances and is paid $52,880 per year. He contributes 3 percent of his pay to a 401(k) and has $25 per paycheck deducted for a Section 125 plan. Required: Compute his net pay on his November 15 paycheck. The applicable state income tax rate is 2.88 percent. Use the Wage Bracket Method Tables for Income Tax Withholding in Appendix C.
Answer:
His net pay on his November 15 paycheck is $1,349.70.
Explanation:
Number of semiannual in a year = 24
Semiannual gross pay = ($50,000 / 24) = $2,083.33
Social security tax = Semiannual gross pay * 6.20% = $2,083.33 * 6.20% = $129.17
Medicare tax = Semiannual gross pay * 1.45% = $2,083.33 * 1.45% = $30.21
401(k) contribution = Semiannual gross pay * 3% = $2,083.33 * 3% = $62.50
Section 125 plan = $25
Advance repayment = $750 / 2 = $375.00
Taxable Wages = Semiannual gross pay - Section 125 plan - 401(k) contribution = $2,083.33 - $25 - $62.50 = $1,995.83
Federal income tax = Taxable Wages * 1.6% = $1,995.83 * 1.6% = $31.93
State Income tax = Taxable Wages * 4% = $1,995.83 * 4% = $79.83
Net pay = Taxable Wages - Federal income tax - State Income tax - Social security tax - Medicare tax - Advance repayment = $1995.83 - $31.93 - $79.83 - $129.16 - $30.21 - $375 = $1,349.70
Therefore, his net pay on his November 15 paycheck is $1,349.70.
