Answer: 12.4%
Explanation:
The Expected return for a stock is the summation of all the returns given the probability of all market conditions.
Expected Return = ∑(Probability of return * return)
= (0.30 * 18%) + (0.50 * 12%) + (0.20 * 5%)
= 0.054 + 0.06 + 0.01
= 0.124
= 12.4%
A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85
On January 1, 2020, the Oriole Company had $2,990,000 of $10 par value common stock outstanding that was issued at par and Retained Earnings of $1,150,000. The company issued 146,000 shares of common stock at $16 per share on July 1. On December 15, the board of directors declared a 10% stock dividend to stockholders of record on December 31, 2020, payable on January 15, 2021. The market value of Oriole Company stock was $17 per share on December 15 and $17 per share on December 31. Net income for 2020 was $580,000.
Required:
Journalize the issuance of stock on July 1 and the declaration of the stock dividend on December 15.
Answer:
Oriole Company
Journal Entries:
July 1:
Debit Cash Account $2,336,000
Credit Common Stock $1,460,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Common Stock $876,000
To record the issuance of 146,000 shares of common stock, par $10 at $16 per share.
December 15:
Debit Retained Earnings $445,000
Stock Dividends Payable $445,000
To record the declaration of a 10% stock dividend.
Explanation:
a) Stockholders of record on December 31, 2020:
Number of shares in issue at beginning 299,000
Number of shares issued on July 1 146,000
Total 445,000
10% of 445,000 = 44,500 shares
b) Stock Dividends declared on December 15 will result to the issuance of 44,500 shares to stockholders. To finance this stock dividend, the Retained Earnings account is debited while the Stock Dividends Payable is credited. When the shares are issued on January 15, the Stock Dividends Payable (Distributable) will be debited and the Common Stock credited with the par value. The market price of $17 does not affect the company's records.
You are thinking of building a new machine that will sve you 2,000 in the first year the machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 4% per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the interest rate is 5% per year? (Hint: this is a growing perpetuity.)
Answer:
The present value of the savings is $22222.22
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an indefinite series of equal payments made after equal intervals of time and for an unlimited period. A growing perpetuity is a kind of perpetuity whose period payments are not equal and they grow(or decline) at a constant rate each period for an indefinite period of time.
The formula for the present value of a growing perpetuity is attached.
The present value of the savings can be calculated as follows,
Present value = 2000 / (0.05 - (-0.04)
Present value = 2000 / (0.05 + 0.04)
Present value = 2000 / 0.09
Present value = $22222.22
A company's flexible budget for 13,200 units of production showed sales, $54,120; variable costs, $21,120; and fixed costs, $18,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 19,600 units is:
Answer:
Net income= $31,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 13,200
Sales= 54,120
Variable costs= $21,120
Fixed costs= $18,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin/number of units
Unitary contribution margin= (54,120 - 21,120) / 13,200
Unitary contribution margin= $2.5
Now, for 19,600 units:
Total contribution margin= 2.5*19,600= 49,000
Fixed costs= (18,000)
Net income= 31,000

From past records it is known that 10% of items from a production line are defective. If two items are selected at random, what is the probability that only one is defective?
Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The Probability distribution is the function which describes the likelihood of possible values assuming a random variable. The 10% of the items from the production line are assumed to be defective. There is a sample selection of 2 items. The probability that one of the item among the selected sample of two items is found defective is 0.2 (2 items sample *10%)
Roger purchased a stock for $16 a share. The stock paid a $1 annual dividend and increased in price by $2 a year for the following three years. What is the arithmetic average annual capital gain
Answer:
The answer is 11.2%

Annual dividend: $1
The stock increases by $2 every year for 3 years. Therefore, we have:
First year is $16 per share
Second year is $18 per share
Third year is $20 per share.
The arithmetic average annual capital gain will be
($2/$16 + $2/$18 + $2/$20)/3
(0.125 + 0.111 + 0.1) / 3
0.336/3
0.112

Santana Mortgage Company uses a process cost system to accumulate costs in its Application Department. When an application is completed, it is forwarded to the Loan Department for final processing. The following processing and cost data pertain to September.
1. Applications in process on September 1, 170
2. Applications started in September, 930
3. Completed applications during September, 660
4. Applications still in process at September 30 were 100% complete as to materials (forms) and 60% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning WIP:
Direct materials $1,310
Conversion costs 4,140
September costs:
Direct materials $5,114
Direct labor 12,820
Overhead 7,581
Materials are the forms used in the application process, and these costs are incurred at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.
Required:
a. Determine the equivalent units of service (production) for materials and conversion costs.
b. Compute the unit costs and prepare a cost reconciliation schedule.
Answer: a) The equivalent units for material = 1,100
The equivalent units for conversion cost = 924.
b) The unit cost for material and conversion cost is $5.84 and $26.56 respectively.
c) cost reconciliation schedule is in the explanation column
Explanation:
first , we calculate units in process
Units in Process = Units of applications Opened + units of application started - units of application completed
= 170 + 930 - 660 = 440 units
Equivalent units of production for materials =application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 100%)=660+440= 1,100
Equivalent units of production for conversion = application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 60%)=660+264=924
Computing the unit costs
Units of cost as per material
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Wor in process unit = 440units
Material cost during ,month -=$5,114
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$1,310
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 1,100
Unit cost for material = Material cost during the month +Begining work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $5,114 + $1,310=$6,424/ 1100= $5.84
Units of cost as per conversion
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Work in progess unit = 440units
conversion cost during ,month -= direct labour + overhead = $12,820 + $7,581= $20, 401
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$4,140
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 924
Unit cost = Material cost during the month +Beginning work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $20,401 + 4,140=$24,541 / 924= $26.56
Cost Reconciliation schedule

To determine the annual annuity, this formula would be used
PV = FV / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r = (1.09^10 - 1 ) / 0.09 = 15.192930
$353,100 / 15.192930 = $23,241.07
Bee Inc. is working on its cash budget for March. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $55,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $139,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $134,000. The desired ending cash balance is $80,000. To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the borrowed amount is shown below:
As we know that
Ending cash balance = beginning cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursements + cash borrowings
$80,000 = $55,000 + $139,000 - $134,000 +cash borrowings
$80,000 = $194,000 - $134,000 + cash borrowings
So, the borrowing is $20,000

Identifying the median voter
Sam, Andrew, and Darnell are roommates who are trying to decide how much money to spend on heat in their apartment each month.
A. Andrew would ideally contribute $15. However, he would prefer contributing $55 to contributing $0 because he does not want to freeze.
B. Sam hates being cold. Therefore, he would ideally like each to contribute $55 to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates decrease the amount of money they spend.
C. Darnell does not care about heat and is on a tight budget. Therefore, he prefers to contribute no money to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates increase the amount of money they spend.
Suppose the three roommates vote on spending either so, $15, or $55 on heat using the Borda count system of voting. That is, each roommate awards three points to his first choice, two points to his second choice, and one point to his third choice
Answer:
The median voter here is $55 based on the allocated points in order of preference.
This is the vote that avoids the two extremes of 5 and 7
Explanation:
Voting with the Borda count system of voting:
$0 $15 $55
Andrew 1 3 2
Sam 1 2 3
Darnell 3 2 1
Total points 5 7 6
The median voter is the selection that is based on choosing the median in a spectrum, so that the extremes are avoided. In this case, the extremes win points 5 and 4, with the median as 6.
The voting was done by using the Borda count system of voting. With this system, points are allocated based on personal preferences. The preference that is favored most is given the highest point, and so on. This implies that the preference that is least favoured is given the lowest point.

With an increase in product advertising of $50 million you expect to increase sales by 10,000 units. If unit grow margin is $4,800, will the additional advertising increase product contribution?
Answer:
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Advertising increase= $50,000,000
Units increase= 10,000 units
Unit contribution margin= $4,800
To calculate the total effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 10,000*4,800 - 50,000,000
Effect on income= $2,000,000 decrease
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.

During the last five years, average daily occupancy at Autumn Acres nursing home has slid from 125 to 95 even though Autumn Acres has cut its daily rate from $125 to $115. Do these data suggest that occupancy would have been higher if Autumn Acres had raised its rates? What changes in nonprice demand factors might explain this change? (The supply, or the number of nursing home beds in the area, has not changed during this period.)
Answer:
no
Decline in the number of aged people in the population
The quality of care offered might have declined
Preference to be cared for at home instead of at care home
increase in death rate among the elderly
Explanation:
Even though, there seem to be a positive correlation between the price of daily rates and occupancy. it doesn't imply that increasing the rates would increase occupancy rates. there might be other factors explaining the decline.
some of these factors include :
1. decline in the number of the aged in the population : if the proportion of the aged in the population has reduced, the nursing home would experience a decline in residents
2. if the quality of care received by patients has also reduced, the aged might prefer other nursing homes.
3. there might be a shift in reference. the aged might prefer to be cared for at home by family and friends instead of staying in a nursing home.
Increase in death rate among the elderly : if there is an increase in mortality rate, the care home would experience a decline in occupancy

The common stock of Auto Deliveries currently sells for $28.99 a share. The stock is expected to pay an annual dividend of $1.34 per share next year. The firm has established a pattern of increasing its dividends by 4 percent annually and expects to continue doing so. The estimated market rate of return on this stock is _______ percent.
Answer:
8.62%
Explanation:
The common stock of Auto deliveries currently sells for $28.99 per share
The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.34
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
Therefore, the market rate of return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Market rate= dividend/stock price + growth rate
= $1.34/$28.99 + 0.04
= 0.04622+0.04
= 0.0862×100
= 8.62%
Hence the estimated market rate of return on the stock is 8.62%

A copy machine acquired on July 1 with a cost of $1,450 has an estimated useful life of four years. Assuming that it will have a residual value of $250, determine the depreciation for the first year by the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $1,450
Salvage value= $250
Useful life= 4 years
First, we need to determine the annual depreciation for the whole year using the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,450 - 250) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $600
Now, for 6 months:
Annual depreciation= (600/12)*6= $300

Select the time line option that represents the cash flows associated with Starbuck Industries' proposed investment. b. Which of the approaches—future value or present value—do financial managers rely on most often for decision making? Why?
Answer:
Please check the attached image for the timeline image.
present value. this is because in making the decision of whether to carry out a project, the decision is made at the beginning of of the project and not in the future. so it is important to determine the present value to know if the project is profitable and should be carried out.
Explanation:
Timeline is arranges a series of events in chronological order. cash inflows are recorded as positive while cash outflows have a negative sign in front of the amount.
present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
From studying Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, what differences exist between the United States and Brazil that may be relevant to your communication? 2. How can you use words to relate to each audience? 3. What images will you use for each audience?
Answer:
what differences exist between the United States and Brazil that may be relevant to your communication?
Using Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a framework, we can determine that the United States is higher on individualism while Brazil is higher on collectivism.
The United States is also higher on restraint, while Brazil is higher on indulgence.
2. How can you use words to relate to each audience?
For the United States, you should use words that motivate individuals. For Brazil, you should words that motivate collective groups.
3. What images will you use for each audience?
Again, for the United States, you should use images that represent individualistic cultural values, while the opposite should be used for Brazil: picture that represent more collectivist cultural values.
On January 1, an investment account is worth 300,000. M months later, the value has increased to 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. 2M months prior to the end of the year, the account is again worth 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. On December 31, the account is worth 315,000. The annual effective yield rate, using the dollar-weighted method, is 16%. Calculate M.
Answer:
M = 3
Explanation:
The first withdrawal takes place 1 - M/12 months until the end of the year. The second withdrawal takes place 2M/12 months before the end of the year.
$315,000 = ($300,000 x 1.16) - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(1 - M/12)]} - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(2M/12)]}
$315,000 = $348,000 - [$15,000 x (1.16 - 0.16M/12)] - [$15,000 x (1 + 0.32M/12)]
$315,000 = $348,000 - $17,400+ 200M - $15,000 - 400M
$315,000 = $315,600 - 200M
200M = $315,600 - $315,000 = $600
M = 600 / 200 = 3
Imprudential, inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $582 million that mustb be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firms stock, financialal analysts to discount the liability back to the present
If the relevant discount rate is 7.5 percent, what is the present value of this liability? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Present value $137,010,452.17
Explanation:
Calculation for the present value of Imprudential, inc. liability
Using this formula
Present Value = FV / (1 + r)^t
Where,
FV =$582,000,000
=(1 + r)=(1+0.075=1.075)
t=20 Years
Let plug in the formula
Present Value = $582,000,000 / (1.075)^20
Present Value=$582,000,000/4.2478511
Present value= $137,010,452.17
Therefore the present value of Imprudential, inc. liability will be $137,010,452.17
A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number1 17 15 15 17
Number2 16 25 18 25
Number3 23 24 23 22
What is the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control?
a. 16
b. 19
c. 20
d. 21
e. 23
Answer:
c. 20
Explanation:
The summary of the given information shows that a Quality Analyst sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number 1 17 15 15 17
Number 2 16 25 18 25
Number 3 23 24 23 22
In order to determine the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control, we need to find the mean of each Machine and find the average of the three machines together
i.e
For Machine Number 1 ;
Mean = (17+15+15+17)/4
Mean = 64/4
Mean = 16
For Machine Number 2 ;
Mean = (16+25+18+25)/4
Mean = 84/4
Mean = 21
For Machine Number 3;
Mean = ( 23+24+23+22)/4
Mean = 92/4
Mean = 23
∴
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control
= (16 + 21 + 23)/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 60/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 20
On December 31, 2021, Larry's Used Cars had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $66,000 and $900, respectively. During 2022, Larry's wrote off $2,275 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,500 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer:Bad debts expense = $6,875
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is recognized when a customer cannot pay its financial obligations therefore the account receivable will no longer be collectible
Beginning uncollectible accounts= $900
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts = $5,500
Amounts written off = $2,275
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts =Begining uncollectible accounts + current bad debts expense - amounts written off in 2022
$5,500= $900 + bad debts expense - $2,275
current bad debts expense for 2022= $5,500 - $900 + $2,275 = $6,875
Can also be illustrated as
ACCOUNTS
Begining uncollectible accounts $900
Amounts written off (less) - $2,275
Bad debts expense(add) + $6,875
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts $5,500
The Oriole Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $1,760 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room
Determine the inn’s break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $1,760 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs and the unitary variable cost.
Total fixed costs= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance
Total fixed costs= $12,060
Unitary variable cost= 24 + 46= $70
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 12,060/ (100 - 70)
Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month
Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2017, for $197,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2018, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $600,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida. On that date, the fair value of Seida's common stock was $2,000,000 in total. Seida's January 1, 2018 book value equaled $1,850,000, although land was undervalued by $120,000. Any additional excess fair value over Seida's book value was attributable to a trademark with an 8-year remaining life. During 2018, Seida reported income of $300,000 and declared and paid dividends of $110,000. Prepare the 2018 journal entries for Milani related to its investment in Seida.
Answer:
Milani, Inc.
January 1, 2018:
Debit Investment in Seida $600,000
Credit Cash Account $600,000
To record the purchase of an additional 30% of Seida.
December 31, 2018:
Debit Investment in Seida $120,000
Credit Net Income $120,000
To record the share in the net income of Seida.

Credit Investment in Seida $44,000
To record the dividend received from Seida.
Explanation:
The cash dividend received from Seida will reduce Milani, Inc.'s investment value in Seida, just as the 40% share in the net income increased the investment value.
These journal entries have been used to debit and credit accounts as transactions occur. A journal plays an important role in recording transactions in the accounting system as it is usually the initial record of any transaction. It also shows the accounts debited or credited with a short narration that explains each transaction.
