Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Answers

Answer:

Earning per share = $3.18

Explanation:

In order to calculate basic earning per share firstly, we need to calculate the weighted average number of share outstanding

                                         Shares    months        (months x shares)

1 January to 30 May        45,000       4                     $180,000

1 May to 30 November    18,000        7                     $126,000

1 Dec to 31 December     58,700        1                     $58,700

Total                                                     12                   $364,700

Weighted average = $364,700/12

Weighted average = 30,391

Dividends required on preferred stock = 7000 x 4.25% x $100

Dividends required on preferred stock = $29,750

Net income available for shareholders = Net  Income - dividend

Net income available for shareholders = $126,500 - $29,750

Net income available for shareholders = $96,750

Earning per share = Net Income/ no of shares

Earning per share = $96,750/30,391

Earning per share = $3.18

Montel Company’s July sales budget calls for sales of $630,000. The store expects to begin July with $63,000 of inventory and to end the month with $37,000 of inventory. Gross margin is typically 20% of sales. Determine the budgeted cost of merchandise purchases for July.

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000

Explanation:

The expected units of a product that a business estimates to purchase given its sales budget and inventory is known as the purchases budget.  

The purchases budget can bed determined by adjusting the sales budget for closing and opening inventories.  

Purchases budget = Sales budget +closing inventory - opening inventory  

Note that the sales was given in selling price terms while the inventories in cost terms, hence there is a need to work out the cost of the sales using the 20% margin

Cost of the sales = 100/120×  630,000 =$ 525000

Opening inventory =63,000

Closing inventory = 37,000

Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases:

= 525000  + 37,000 - 63,000= $499,000

Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000

Situational Software Co. (SSC) is trying to establish its optimal capital structure. Its current capital structure consists of 30% debt and 70% equity; however, the CEO believes that the firm should use more debt. The risk-free rate, rRF, is 6%; the market risk premium, RPM, is 7%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. Currently, SSC's cost of equity is 15%, which is determined by the CAPM. What would be SSC's estimated cost of equity if it changed its capital structure to 50% debt and 50% equity? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate steps. %

Answers

Answer:

The estimated cost of equity is 10.3%

Explanation:

Step 1: Find Levered Beta

The CAPM formula would be used here to find the Levered Beta. CAPM formula is given as under:

Ke = Rf  +  Beta * (MRP - Rf)

Current Cost of Equity of company is ke and is 15%,

Risk free rate is Rf and is 6%

Market risk premium is 7%

15% = 6% + Beta* (7% - 6%)

Levered Beta = 9

Step 2: Find the Unlevered Beta

As we know that existing Debt to Equity ratio is (30 / 70), we can use the following formula to calculate the unlevered beta:

Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta / (1 + (1-t) * D/E)

Simply by putting values, we have:

Unlevered Beta = 1.2 / (1 + (1 - 40%) * 30/70) = 7.16

Step 3: Calculate levered beta on new debt to equity ratio

Now

New Debt to Equity Ratio is 1 (50 / 50)

As we know that:

Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta * (1 + (1-t) * Debt / Equity)

Levered Beta = 7.16 * (1 - 40%) * 1) = 4.3

Step 4: Use CAPM formula to calculate Cost of equity on new gearing

Using CAPM formula, we have:

Ke = Rf  +  Beta * (MRP - Rf)

Ke = 6% + 4.3 * 1% = 10.3%

Determine how many of each plant stand Bobby needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the​ weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula​ labels, then complete the calculations step by step.

Answers

Answer:

For twig stands= 24 units.

For oak stand = 6 units.

Explanation:

From the question above we are given that the Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand are 15.00 and 42.00. We are also given that the Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand are 2.00 and 19.00 per unit. Thus, the value for the Contribution Margin per unit can be calculated by just subtracting Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand from Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand, that is;

Contribution Margin per unit = (Sale price for Twig and Oak plant) - (Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand).

Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 15.00 - 2.00 = 13.00 and the Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 42.00 - 19.00 = 23.00.

From the question, we are given that the Sales mix in units is 4(twig) and 1(oak) = 4 + 1 = 5.

Thus, the contribution margin for twig = sales mix for twig × Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 4 × 13 = 52.

Also, the contribution margin for oak = sales mix for oak × Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 1 × 23 = 23.

Total = 52 + 23 = 75.

Hence, the Weighted Average Contribution per unit = 75 / 5 = 15.

Total Break even Sales = 450/15 = 30 units.

Thus, for twig stand; 30 × 4/5 = 24 units.

For oak = 30 × 1/5 = 6 units.

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years

Answers

Answer:

$28,533.5

Explanation:

Principal value (PV) = $275,000

Time = 20 years

Rate = 8.25%

Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)

275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)

275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)

22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))

22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = p(0.7951)

P = 22687.5 / 0.7951

P = $28533.5

Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 ​ s_2s 2 ​ s_3s 3 ​ s_4s 4 ​ s_5s 5 ​ s_6s 6 ​ 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)

Answers

Answer: The answer is 7.53%

Explanation:

To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)

The discount factor is : d=1/1+i

Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.

Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;

Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)

Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)

Present value=0.748

The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.

Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:

1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748

(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴

1+d (0,4) =1.0753

d (0,4)=0.0753

Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%

If 350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month, the total variable cost reported on the income statementforthe month is $:___________

Answers

Answer:

Total variable cost= $71,940.54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490.

Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold.

350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost per unit:

Unitary production cost= 72,490/350= $207.11

Now, we can calculate the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= (207.11 + 22)*314= $71,940.54

Explanation:

Total Variable Overhead Variance Mulliner Company showed the following information for the year:
Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $3.50
Standard hours (SH) allowed per unit 3
Actual production in units 20,000
Actual variable overhead costs $220,500
Actual direct labor hours 61,200
Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct labor hours for actual production.
2. Calculate the applied variable overhead.
3. Calculate the total variable overhead variance.

Answers

Answer:

1. The standard direct labor hours for actual production

Standard hours per unit: 3 hours

Actual output: 20,000

Standard labour hours for actual production = 20,000 * 3

=60,000 hours  

2. Applied variable Overhead

Standard hours allowed per unit = 3  

Overhead rate per hour = $3.5

Standard Overhead rate per unit = Standard hours allowed per unit  * OH rate per hour =3 hours * $3.5

=10.5

Actual output = 20000  

Variable OH applied = Actual output * Standard Overhead rate per unit

= 20,000 * $10.5

= $210,000  

3. Total Variable Overhead variance

Actual Oh incurred                                   $220,500  

Std variable Overhead to be allowed     $210,000

Total Variable OH variance                    $10,500 (Unfavourable)

You used to earn $76,000 a year in your old job! Suppose you return to college and earn an MBA, after which you get an upper-management position with Yum! Brands. If the tax rates are the same as in 2012 and your starting salary is $125,000, how much will you owe in federal social insurance taxes?

Answers

Answer:

Federal social insurance taxes include OASDI taxes (Social Security) and Medicare taxes. Currently. In 2012, the Social Security tax limit was $110,100, while their was no limit on Medicare.

The Social Security tax rate was temporarily reduced during 2011 and 2012 from 6.2% to 4.2%, so your Social Security tax withholdings were $4,624.20 in 2012.

Medicare taxes did not change in 2012 and were 1.45%, so your Medicare tax withholding were $1,812.50 in 2012.  

A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?

Answers

Answer:

Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; =220,000

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

First option

monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12

Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38

Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58

Second option

r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542  % n = 15×12 = 180

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21

Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549  = 1390.54

Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 -  1390.54 =  407.0339

Difference in monthly payment=407.0339

Genent​ Industries, Inc.​ (GII), developed standard costs for direct material and direct labor. In​ 2017, GII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major​ products, the 30−gallon heavy−duty plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour During​ July, GII produced and sold 4,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $17 and 2,875 direct manufacturing labor hours at an average wage of $20.50 per hour. ​July's direct material flexible−budget variance is​ ________.

Answers

Answer:

July's direct material flexible−budget variance is​  $ 1500.unfav

Explanation:

Genent​ Industries, Inc.​ (GII),

Budgeted quantity Budgeted price

Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound

Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour

Actual Price for 15000 pounds and 2,875 DLH

Direct Materials $17 per pound

Direct manufacturing labor hours wages $20.50 per hour. ​

July's direct material flexible−budget variance is​  $ 1500. unfav

Budgeted Cost for 4000 containers -Actual Cost for 4000 containers

= $ 24000- $ 25500 = $ 1500

Since the actual cost is greater it is unfavorable

Flexible Budget Variance is obtained by subtracting actual costs from flexible budget costs at a given volume.

1 container requires 0.3 pounds

4000 containers require 0.3 * 4000= 1200 pounds

But actually 1500 pounds were used .

Now costs

Budgeted Costs for 1200 pounds is = 20 *1200= $24000

Actual Costs for 1500 pounds is = 17* 1500 = $ 25 500

Gift property (disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor): a.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain. b.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a loss, and the fair market value on the date of gift was less than the donor's adjusted basis. c.Has a zero basis to the donee if the fair market value on the date of gift is less than the donor's adjusted basis. d.Has no basis to the donee because he or she did not pay anything for the property.

Answers

Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

Explanation:

For a gifted property, it should be noted that the tax basis for a donee that is, the person who gets the gift will be identical to that of the donor, this is, the person that donates the gift in cases whereby the property is gotten as a gift.

Therefore, a gift property disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor will have the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Pablo Hand, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal designs, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project. Suppose Hand had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that he could work on his sculptures near the location at which they would eventually be installed. He entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Bridges by Madison.
