Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 354,000 / (175 - 116)
Break-even point in units= 6,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 354,000 / (59 / 175)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,050,000
Now, the margin of safety and margin of safety rate:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (10,000*175) - 1,050,000
Margin of safety= $700,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 700,000 / 1,750,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.4= 40%

= $2,217,777.78
In a Harvard print journal and ejournal article references for a reference list, which elements, if any, are placed in round brackets?
Author and journal title.
Author and issue number.
Year of publication and issue number, if there is one.
Article title and year of publication.
Answer: Year of publication and issue number, if there is one.
Explanation:
There are quite a number of referencing style conventions available in the world today with some of the most prominent being the APA style, MLA and the Chicago style.
Harvard has its own referencing style that may not be as popular as the above but is very well known nonetheless. When referencing using the Harvard style and the year of publication and issue number needs to be included in a print or e-journal reference, it is to be placed in a round bracket. If there isn't any then there is no need.
Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.
Answer:
c) $7200
Explanation:
Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.
This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders
Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % = $3600
When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.
2018
Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200
therefore,
Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200

Downtown Stores can issue equity at a flotation cost of 8.76 percent and debt at 5.93 percent. The firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of .37 but prefers a ratio of .35. What should this firm use as their weighted average flotation cost
Answer:
8.03%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
We know that
Total capital = Debt + Equity
= 0.35 + 1
= 1.35
Now
Weight of debt(Wd) = Value of debt ÷ Total capital
= 0.35 ÷ 1.35
Weight of equity(We) = 1 ÷ 1.35
Now Weighted average flotation cost is:
= Flotation cost of equity × weight of equity + Flotation cost of debt × Weight of debt
= (8.76% × 1 ÷ 1.35) + (5.93% × 0.35 ÷ 1.35)
= 8.03%
g On January 1, 2019 FirstEnergy Corp issued 19,000 shares of $100 par, 8%, cumulative, preferred stock for $110 per share. No dividends have been paid to preferred or common shareholders. What amount of dividends will a preferred shareholder owning 100 shares receive in 2021 if FirstEnergy pays $1,000,000 in dividends
Answer: $2640
Explanation:
Based in the information given,
Par value of preferred stock = $110
Rate of dividend = 8%
Therefore, the preferred dividend per share will be:
= $110 × 8%
= $110 × 0.08
= $8.80
It should be noted that the cumulative dividend from 2019 to 2021 will be for 3 years. Therefore, the dividend to 100 preferred shareholder in 2021 will be:
= 100 × $8.80 × 3
= $2640

Last year "ABC" Company had $121646 of assets, $76058 of sales, $19170 of net income, and an equity multiplier of 1.81369. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets to $99391, Sales, costs and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the equity multiplier at the same level (1.81369). By how much would the reduction in assets will change the ROE value?
Answer:
ABC Company
The reduction in assets will change the ROE value by 6% increase, from 29% to 35%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity multiplier = total assets divided by stockholders equity
Last year's figures:
Assets = $121,646
Sales = $76,058
Net income = $19,170
Equity multiplier = 1.81369
Equity = Assets/Equity multiplier
= $67,071 ($121,646/1.81369)
Return on equity = $19,170/$67,071 * 100
= 28.6%
= 29%
New figures:
Assets reduced to $99,391
Sales = $76,058
Net income = $19,170
Equity multiplier = 1.81369
Equity = $54,800 ($99,391/1.81369)
Return on equity = $19,170/$54,800 * 100
= 35%
b) The reduction in assets changes the ROE value from 29% to 35%.
In the fall of 2008, AIG, the largest insurance company in the world at the time, was at risk of defaulting due to the severity of the global financial crisis. As a result, the U.S. government stepped in to support AIG with large capital injections and an ownership stake. How would this affect, if at all, the yield and risk premium on AIG corporate debt before and after U.S. Government support
• Initially default risk increases, yield increases, price of AIG decreases
• After government intervention, default decreases, yield decreases, price of AIG increases
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $20000 was purchased for $84000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (2nd year)= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $84,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (84,000 - 20,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $16,000

Vaughn Manufacturing has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 3700 pounds. Vaughn Manufacturing's materials quantity variance is
Answer:
$2,400 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard cost
Given that:
Standard quantity = 3,700 pounds
Actual quantity = 4,900 pounds
Standard cost = $2
Therefore,
Direct materials quantity variance
= (3,700 - 4,900) × 2
= - $2,400
= $2,400 Unfavourable
The difference between the standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, hence variance will be unfavourable.

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.
Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
a. Net present value = $539,013.67
b. Net present value = $273,361.47
Explanation:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42
Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 = $20,265.24
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67
b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?
Answer:
$1,919.69
Explanation:
when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65
first 5 payments:
birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651
the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82
he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18
value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69

A rectangle has length xcm and width (x-1)cm. If the perimeter is 14cm,
Find the value of x.
Answer:
x = 4 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of a rectangle = x cm
Width = (x-1) cm
The perimeter of the rectangle = 14 cm
We need to find the value of x.
We know that,
Perimeter = sum of all sides
14 = 2(x+x-1)
7 = 2x-1
8 = 2x
x = 4
So, the value of x is equal to 4 cm.
Analysts expect Placer Corp. to pay shareholders $2.25 per share annually for the next five years. After that, the dividend will be $3.50 annually forever. Given a discount rate of 12%, what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$24.66
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of the stock today
First step is to calculate the PVP
PVP = $3.50 / .12
PVP= $29.17
Second step is to calculate the PV
PV = $29.17 / 1.125
PV= $16.55
Third step is to calculate the PVA
PVA = $2.25 {[1 - (1 / 1.125)] / .12}
PVA= $8.11
Now let calculate the value of the stock today
Using this formula
Price=PV+PVA
Let plug in the formula
Price = $16.55 + 8.11
Price= $24.66
Therefore the value of the stock today is $24.66
