Assume that you are offered an annuity that pays $100 at the end of each year for 10 years. You could earn 8% on your money in other investments with equal risk. What is the most you should pay for the annuity

Answers

Answer:

The annuity is worth $671.01

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $100

The number of years= 10 years.

Interest rate= 8%

To calculate the value of the annuity, we need to calculate the present value.

First, we need to calculate the final value:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash

FV= {100*[(1.08^10)-1]} / 0.08

FV= $1,448.66

Now, the present value:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 1,448.66/(1.08^10)

PV= $671.01

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is the first one which is debit Raw Materials Inventory and credit Accounts Payable

Explanation:

The raw materials inventory which is the receiving account for the raw materials received into the factory is debited since receiving account or increase in asset account is naturally a debit  entry according to the golden rule of double entry.

The credit goes to the accounts payable as obligation owed by the company to the supplier of the raw materials payable at a later date

1. Calculate the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate.

Answers

Answer:

$8 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

1. The computation of the plant wide overhead rate is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the direct labor hours used which is

= Direct labor cost ÷ direct labors per hour

= $345,000 ÷ $15

= $23,000

Now the predetermined overhead rate is

= Manufacturing overhead applied ÷ direct labor hours

= $184,000 ÷ 23,000

= $8 per direct labor hour

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

When using FIFO (First In First Out), a company sells it's earlier Stock first before it sells the latter one.

When using LIFO ( Last In First Out), a company sells it's latter Stock first before it sells the earlier one.

The Average Cost averages the both.

a) To record a change from the Average Cost method to the FIFO method, first take the difference between the total revenues from the two methods and then credit the difference to the Retained Earnings account if FIFO is higher to signify the increase in Retained Earnings as a result of the change. The corresponding entry should be to the Inventory account to show the rise in Inventory associated with the prices of goods rising and therefore later inventory being priced higher.

Total for Average Cost Method.

= 16,080 + 17,980 + 19,920

= $53,980

Total for FIFO

= 18,980 + 20,800 + 24,890

= $64,670

Difference is,

= $64,670 - $53,980

= $10,690

Journal Entry will be,

DR Inventory $10,690

CR Retained Earnings $10,690

( To record change of Accounting Method to FIFO)

b) The change has been from the Average Cost to the FIFO method. The question already gives the numbers related with calculating the Net Income using the FIFO method.

The answer is therefore,

FIFO

2015 - $18,980

2016 - $20,800

2017 - $24,890

c) Going by the same method as in A, you first take the difference between the totals of using LIFO and FIFO. The difference will be credited to the Retained Earnings account if FIFO is higher to signify the increase in Retained Earnings as a result of the change. The corresponding entry should be to the Inventory account to show the rise in Inventory associated with the prices of goods rising and therefore later inventory being priced higher.

FIFO Total

= 18,980 + 20,800 + 24,890

= $64,670

LIFO Total

= 11,940 + 14,020 + 17,050

= $43,010

Difference will be,

= 64,670 - 43,010

= $21,660

Journalizing it,

DR Inventory $21,660

CR Retained Earnings $21,660

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity - Speedboat - Bass boat:

Fabrication= 9,750 + 29,250= 39,000 direct labor hours

Assembly= 29,250 + 9,750= 39,000 direct labor hours

Setup= 70 + 515= 585 setups

Inspection= 122 + 853= 975 inspections

Department costs:

Fabrication= 858,000

Assembly= 351,000

Setup= 298,350

Inspection= 253,500

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

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

Fabrication= 858,000/39,000= $22 per direct labor hour

Assembly= 351,000/39,000= $9 per direct labor hour

Setup= 298,350/585= $510 per setup

Inspection= 253,500/975= $260 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speedboats= 22*9,750 + 9*29,250 + 70*510 + 122*260= $545,170

Bass boat= 22*29,250 + 9*9,750 + 515*510 + 853*260= $1,215,680

Finally, overhead per unit:

Speedboats= 545,170/5,000= $109.034

Bass boat= 1,215,680/5,000= $243.136

Answers

Answer:

2). Overseeing the company's financial accounting and financial reporting practices and evaluating the caliber of senior executives' strategy-making/strategy-executing skills.

Explanation:

A company's board of directors is primarily responsible for ensuring the appropriate management in the company keeping the interests of the shareholders in mind. Therefore, they constantly overview the financial accounting as well as financial reporting practices of the company so that there is no loophole. At the same time, they are responsible for assessing the efficacy of the skills and caliber of strategy-making and strategy-executing of senior executives as they make day-to-day decisions to run the company. Therefore, their efficacy would play a vital role in determining the company's success and growth. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

In a major metropolitan area, one chain of coffee shops has gained a large market share because customers feel its coffee tastes better than its competitors'.
Dozens of companies produce plain white socks. Consumers regard plain white socks as identical and don't care about who sells them their socks. The technology for producing socks is widely known, and any reputable person who wanted to start a sock manufacturing business could obtain a loan from a bank to buy the necessary machinery.

1. How many firms?
A.One
B. Many or Few
2. Type of product
A. Unique
B. Anything
C. Standardized
D. Differentiated
3. Market Value
A. Perfect competition
B. Oligopoly
C. Monopolistic competition or monopoly

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

Coffee shop chain:

Many firms are supplying the needs of the market. But there is one particular coffee shop that has many customerw because it tastes bette. It is a differentiated product due to the fact that consumers feels it tastes is better than the taste of others. This is monopolistic competition.

White socks company:

Many firms arr producing the same output. This is a standardized product because each firm produces same homogenous output. This is a perfect competition. In a perfect competition, each firm is the price taker.

Taxi companies:

Few firms, or to be more precise only two taxi companies are in the market. We can deduce that their product is anything homogenous because the customers do not differentiate. Therefore the firms are in the oligopoly market.

Patented drug:

Only one single firm is in operation in the market, therefore this is a monopoly. There is one single seller in the market selling a unique drug that no firm else sells.

"The Bank of Moronto has negotiated a plain vanilla swap whereby it will exchange fixed payments of 10 percent for floating payments equal to LIBOR plus 0.5 percent at the end of each of the next three years. In the first year, LIBOR is 8 percent; in the second year, 9 percent; in the third year, LIBOR is 7 percent. What is the total net payment the Bank of Moronto makes over the three-year period if the notional principal is $10 million

Answers

Answer:

The total net payment the Bank of Moronto makes over the three-year period if the notional principal is $10 million is $450,000

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the followning:

According to the swap,  Bank of Moronto pays 10% and receives LIBOR + 0.5%

Therefore,  At the end of year 1 - Pays 10% & Receives - ( 8 + 0.5)% = 10-8.5 = 1.5%

Hence, Net Payment = 1.5 %

At the end of year 2 - Pays 10% & Receives - ( 9 + 0.5)% = 10-8.5 = 0.5%

Hence, Net Payment = 0.5 %

At the end of year 3 - Pays 10% & Receives - ( 7 + 0.5)% = 10-7.5 = 2.5%

Hence, Net Payment = 2.5 %

Therefore, Total Payment = Total Basis * Notional Amount

= ( 1.5 + 0.5 + 2.5)% * 10 * 10^6

= 4.5% * 10 * 10^6

Total Payment= $450,000

The total net payment the Bank of Moronto makes over the three-year period if the notional principal is $10 million is $450,000

When required, round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

a.  Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities = fixed assets / long term liabilities =  $1,412,700 / $831,000 = 1.7

b.  Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = liabilities / equity = $996,000 / $4,980,000 = 0.2  

c.  Asset turnover = total revenue / average assets = $27,384,550 / [($5,976,000 + $5,677,000)/2] = 4.7

d.  Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average assets = ($601,000 + $49,860) / [($5,976,000 + $5,677,000)/2] = 11.2%

e.  Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $601,000 / {[($1,594,000 + $1,494,000 + $1,494,000) + $4,980,000] / 2} =  $601,000 / {($4,582,000 + $4,980,000) / 2} = $601,000 / $4,781,000 = 12.57%

f.  Return on common stockholders' equity = (net income - preferred dividends) / average common stock = ($601,000 - $59,760) / $1,494,000 = 36.2%

Wald Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $1,120 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay an $85 annual coupon and have a 20-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. What return would an investor most likely earn, if interest rates remain at current levels for the foreseeable future

Answers

Answer:

A. 7.08%  

B. 6.49%  

C. 5.95%  

D. 6.71%  

E. 7.34%

The correct option is B,6.49%

Explanation:

The return that the investor would earn is the yield to maturity of the bond which is calculated using rate formula in excel as shown thus:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would receive which 5 since the bond can be called in 5 years

pmt is the annual coupon of $85

pv is the current market price of $1,120

fv is the call price in 5 years which is $1,050

=rate(5,85,-1120,1050)=6.49%

"The​ S&H Construction Company expects to have total sales next year totaling $ 14 comma 700 comma 000. In​ addition, the firm pays taxes at 35 percent and will owe $ 290 comma 000 in interest expense. Based on last​ year's operations the​ firm's management predicts that its cost of goods sold will be 63 percent of sales and operating expenses will total 30 percent. What is your estimate of the​ firm's net income​ (after taxes) for the coming​ year?"

Answers

Answer: $480,350

Explanation:

Income is calculated by deducting expenses from the sales which includes the Cost of Goods sold.

The Cost of Goods sold is given to be 63% of the Sales Next year and the Operating Expenses are given to be 30% of the sales.

That means a total of,

= 63 + 30

= 93%

93% of the sales will be deducted from the sales as expenses.

$290,000 will also be owed as interest so needs to be removed from the sales as well.

Calculating that will give,

= 14,700,000 - 14,700,000(0.93) - 290,000

= 14,700,000 - 13,671,000 - 290,000

= $739,000

This is the income after interest and expenses.

Now the tax has to be accounted for.

With a tax rate of 35%, the income minus tax will be,

= 739,000 ( 1 - 0.35)

= 739,000 * 0.65

= $480,350

$480,350 is the after-tax estimate if income for the following year.

(a) Compute basic earnings per share for 2015.
(b) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2015.

Answers

Answer:

a. $1.38

b. anti-dilutive.

Explanation:

Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :

Net income for the year                                                        $1,160,000

Less Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%)        ($112,560)

Less Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%)          ($244,800)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock           $802,640

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation :

Common Stock (5,800,000 / $10)                                          580,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders      580,000

Basic Earnings Per Share = $802,640 / 580,000

                                           = $1.38

Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock                    $802,640

Add Back Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%)         $112,560

Add Back Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%)           $244,800

Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock   $1,160,000

Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders                 580,000

Add Convertible Bonds ($2,010,000 / $1,000 × 30)                          60,000

Add Convertible Preference Shares ($4,080,000/$100 ×3)            122,400

Less Common Stock Options                                                              (82,100)

Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 680,300

Diluted Earnings Per Share =  $1,160,000 / 680,300

                                              =  $ 1.70

Conclusion : Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preference Shares and Common Stock Options are anti-dilutive.

Monetary policy can be a useful tool for macroeconomic management. Using relevant diagram(s), show and discuss the possible impact of recent interest rate cuts on output, inflation and unemployment

Answers

Answer:

A cut in interest rates will cause the following effects:

Output: output will increase because an interest rate cut makes credit cheaper. Firms will now borrow more money at cheaper interest, and will invest those funds in producing more.Inflation: an interest cut is produced by an increase in the money supply. When the money supply increases, inflation goes up as well.Unemployment: unemployment will go down. Because there is more money in the economy, there is also cheaper credit, and as explained above, firms will make use of these cheap credits to invest more and produce more. To do so, they will need to hire more workers.
