Orchid Biotech Company is evaluating several development projects for experimental drugs. Although the cash flows are difficult to forecast, the company has come up with the following estimates of the initial capital requirements and NPVs for the projects. Given a wide variety of staffing needs, the company has also estimated the number of research scientists required for each development project (all cost values are given in millions of dollars).
Project Number Initial Capital Number of Research Scientists NPV
I $10 2 $10.1
II 15 3 19.0
III 15 4 22.0
IV 20 3 25.0
V 30 12 60.2
Required:
a. Suppose that Orchid has a total capital budget of $60 million. Calculate the profitability index for each project. How should Orchid prioritize these projects?
b. Suppose that Orchid currently has 12 research scientists and does not anticipate being able to hire more in the near future. How should Orchid prioritize these projects?
Answer:
I. 2.01
II. 2.27
III. 2.47
IV. 2.25
V. 3.01
Order of priority = V, III and II
b. Order of priority = IV, II, III, I, V
Explanation:
profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
I. 1 + ($10.1 / $10) = 2.01
II. 1 + (19 / 15) = 2.27
III. 1 + (22/15) = 2.47
IV. 1 + (25/20) = 2.25
V. 1 + (60.2 / 30) = 3.01
If the firm has a total capital budget of $60 million, it should only choose its most profitable projects within the budget
The most profitable is project V with a cost of $30 million. Then project III with a cost of $15 million. Then project II with a cost of $15 million.
Order of priority = V, III and II
b. to determine order of priority, divide NPV / number of research assistant
1. 10.1 / 2 = 5.05
2. 19 / 3 =6.3
III. 22 / 4 = 5.5
IV. 25 / 3 = 8.3
V. 60.2 / 12 = 5.02
Order of priority = IV, II, III, I, V

Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $15,000 cash, an investment with a fair value of $20,000 (inside basis of $10,000), and a parcel of land with a fair value of $10,000 (inside basis of $5,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $48,000. What is Randolph's basis in the distributed investment and land
Answer:
Randolph's basis in the distributed investment and land are as follows:
Investment = $10,000
Land = $23,000
Explanation:
The first step is that Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest of $48,000 is allocated to the distributed assets in an amount equal to the basis RD Partnership.
After this, Randolph will allocate remaining basis to assets which are not cash, hot assets and investment with unrealized appreciation.
Based on the above explanation, Randolph's basis in the distributed are as follows:
Cash = $15,000
Investment = Investment's Inside basis = $10,000
Land = Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest - Cash - Investment = $48,000 - $15,000 - $10,000 = $23,000
Appliance Center is an experienced home appliance dealer. Appliance Center also offers a number of services for the home appliances that it sells. Assume that Appliance Center sells ovens on a standalone basis. Appliance Center also sells installation services and maintenance services for ovens. However, Appliance Center does not offer installation or maintenance services to customers who buy ovens from other vendors. Pricing for ovens is as follows.
Oven only 803
Oven with installation service 910
Oven with maintenance services 976
Oven with installation and maintenance services 1,040
In each instance in which maintenance services are provided, the maintenance service is separately priced within the arrangement at $173. Additionally, the incremental amount charged by The Center for installation approximates the amount charged by independent third parties. Ovens are sold subject to a general right of return. If a customer purchases an oven with installation and/or maintenance services, in the event The Center does not complete the service satisfactorily, the customer is only entitled to a refund of the portion of the fee that exceeds $803. Assume that a customer purchases an oven with both installation and maintenance services for $1,040.
Required:
Indicate the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract.
Answer:
Oven $1,133
Installation $150
Maintenance contract $244
Explanation:
Calculation to Indicate the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract.
Oven= $ 803/($910-173)× $1,040
Oven= $ 803/737×$1,040
Oven =$1,133
Installation= ($910-$803)/($910-173)× $1,040
Installation=$107/737×$1,040
Installation=$150
Maintenance contract= $173/($910-173)× $1,040
Maintenance contract= $173/737×$1,040
Maintenance contract=$ 244
Therefore the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract are :
Oven $1,133
Installation $150
Maintenance contract $ 244

Analyze Johnson Stores’ staffing budget for holidaysJohnson Stores is planning its staffing for the upcoming holiday season. From past history, the store determines that it needs one additional sales clerk for each $12,000 in daily sales. The average daily sales is anticipated to increase by $96,000 from Black Friday until Christmas Eve, or 27 shopping days. Each additional sales clerk will work an eight-hour shift and will be paid $14 per hour.a. Determine the amount to budget for additional sales clerks for the holiday season.Holiday staff budget for additional clerks $b. If Johnson Stores has an average 40% gross profit on sales. What is the additional profit generated if a staff is added for the increased sale?Additional profit $
Answer:
Johnson Stores
Staffing Budget for Holidays:
a. The amount to budget for additional sales clerks for the holiday season is:
= $24,192.
b. The additional profit generated if a staff is added for the increased sale is:
= $1,209.60.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Number of sales clerk required for each $12,000 in daily sales = 1
Average sales increase = $96,000
Number of sales clerk required for the $96,000 sales increase = 8 ($96,000/$12,000)
Number of shopping days from Black Friday to Christmas Eve = 27
Sales clerk works a shift per day = 8 hours
Wages per hour = $14
Total hours to be worked by the additional sales clerk = 8 * 27 * 8 = 1,728
Total wages = 1,728 * $14 = $24,192
Average gross profit on sales = 40%
Total gross profit on sales = $24,192 * 40% = $9,676.80
Additional gross profit generated by adding a staff = $1,209.60 ($9,676.80/8)
Lannister Inc. holds 12,000 units of inventory on January 1, 2017, which have the following costs using LIFO (last-in, first-out):
Inventory Lot Date Units Cost / Unit Total Cost
A 4/22/2012 2,000 $60 $120,000
F 10/15/2014 4,000 $84 $336,000
I 12/22/2016 6,000 $125 $750,000
Under LIFO (last-in, first-out) the same inventory has the following lot costs:
Inventory Lot Date Units Cost / Unit Total Cost
A 4/22/2012 2,000 $60 $120,000
F 10/15/2014 4,000 $84 $336,000
I 12/22/2016 6,000 $125 $750,000
During January 2017, Lannister records the following transactions:
Sells 7,000 units on January 3.
Purchases 4,000 units on January 10 at a cost of $130 per unit.
Sells 2,000 units on January 12.
Purchases 3,000 units on January 18 at a cost of $132 per unit.
Sells 2,000 units on January 25.
In answering the following questions, assume that Lannister uses a perpetual LIFO inventory system.
a. Using perpetual LIFO, what was Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 3?
b. Using perpetual LIFO, what Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 12?
c. Using perpetual LIFO, what was Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 25?
Answer:
a. Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 3 is $834,000.
b. Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 12 is $260,000
c. Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 25 is $264,000.
Explanation:
Perpetual last in first (LIFO) refers to an inventory costing method in which the costs of the last inventory purchased at the time of sale are used first to cost the inventory sold before applying others in order in which the inventory were purchased last.
Therefore, we have:
a. Using perpetual LIFO, what was Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 3?
Cost of goods sold = Cost of first 6,000 units based on the cost of 6,000 units Lot I purchased on 12/22/2016 at $125 per unit + Cost of remaining 1,000 Based the cost of Lot F purchased on 10/15/2014 at $84 per unit = $750,000 + (1,000 * $84) = $834,000
b. Using perpetual LIFO, what Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 12?
Cost of goods sold = Cost of the 2,000 units sold based on the cost of 4,000 Purchased on January 10 at $130 per unit = 2,000 * $130 = $260,000
c. Using perpetual LIFO, what was Lannister’s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the sale that occurred on January 25?
Cost of goods sold = Cost of the 2,000 sold on the cost of 4,000 Purchased on January 18 at $132 per unit = 2,000 * $132 = $264,000

Answer:
uses historical financial statements to measure a company's performance and in making financial projections of future performance.
Explanation:
Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and financial accounting standards board (FASB).
Financial analysis uses historical financial statements to measure a company's performance and in making financial projections of future performance.
In Financial accounting, the horizontal financial analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

Jordan is considering three choices of spending the new year's eve. Option A is to dine outside at a luxury restaurant; option B is indoor skydiving, and option C is to play video games at a close-by club. If all three options cost the same, explicitly, what can be the economic reason for Jordan choosing option B
Answer: b. Jordan values option B more than options A and C.
Explanation:
All options cost the same explicitly which means that Jordan's choice was made based on implicit/ opportunity cost factors.
These undisclosed factors led to Jordan valuing option B more than the other options which is why it was picked even thought they all cost the same. Had any other option being more valuable than B, it would have been picked but since B was picked, B was the most valuable.

Discount rate= 15%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf / (1+i)^n
PV1= 6,100 / 1.15= 5,304.35
PV2= 11,100 / 1.15^2= 8,393.19
PV3= 17,300 / 1.15^3= 11,375.03
Total PV= $25,072.57
Prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active employees or 15 years, whichever is longer. years-of-service method or on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active employees. straight-line basis over 15 years. straight-line basis over the expected future years of service.
Answer:
years-of-service method or on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active employees
Explanation:
Prior service cost (PSC) is simply defined is an instant hike or increase in PBO that is gotten or as a result of the retroactive application of hike or an increase in profits or benefits for service already given(rendered) the name "prior" service cost is given to it as a result of the service cost of previous years which was increased. An example, a defined benefit pension plan provides benefits equal to 4% of last salary for each year of service rendered. The plan is later worked on to increase the rate 4.23% and
the working on or amendment is is said to be retroactive. The present value of the increased benefits (.23%) earned prior to the adjustment or amendment is PSC. Sometimes, retroactive grant may lower the benefits for service already rendered. Amortization is an accounting technique. It is often used to constantly in a timely or periodic manner to reduce or lower the book value of a loan or intangible asset over a time period that is always set.
The amount to be amortized is gotten by giving equal amount of expense to each future period of service always for employee each and those who is mandated to receive benefits.

Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete and the data in it are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data are therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Spotted Cow Dairy Company manufactures three products—whole milk, skim milk, and cream—in two production departments, Blending and Packing. The factory overhead for Spotted Cow Dairy is $299,700.
The three products consume both machine hours and direct labor hours in the two production departments as follows:
Direct Labor Hours Machine Hours
Blending Department
Whole milk 260 650
Skim milk 245 710
Cream 215 260
720 1,620
Packing Department
Whole milk 470 500
Skim milk 300 415
Cream 130 165
900 1,080
Total 1,620 2,700
The management of Spotted Cow Dairy Company now plans to use the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The total factory overhead associated with each department is as follows:
Blending Department $178,200
Packing Department 121,500
Total $299,700
Required:
1. Determine the multiple production department factory overhead rates, using machine hours for the Blending Department and direct labor hours for the Packing Department.
2. Determine the product factory overhead costs, using the multiple production department rates in (1).
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
1. Determine the multiple production department factory overhead rates, using machine hours for the Blending Department and direct labor hours for the Packing Department.
Blending department overhead rate = Blending department overheads / Blending department machine hours = $178,200 / 1,620 = $110 per machine hour
Packing department overhead rate = Packing department overheads / Packing department labor hours = $121,500 / 900 = $135 per direct labor hour
2. Determine the product factory overhead costs, using the multiple production department rates in (1).
Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the product factory overhead costs, using the multiple production department rates.
In the attached excel file the following formulae are used to calculate the product factory overhead costs:
Blending department factory overhead = Machine fours * Overhead rate per machine hour
Packing department factory overhead = Direct labor hours * Overhead rate per direct labor hour
From the attached excel file, we have:
Whole Milk Total factory overhead = $134,950
Skim Milk Total factory overhead = $118,600
Cream Total factory overhead = $46,150

The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances. Which of the following situations would probably NOT be considered for an exemption?
Available options are:
A salesperson who has held a valid license within the last 3 years
A broker who surrendered his broker license and has been employed as a salesperson since the surrender
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
A broker associate who held a broker associate license two years ago
Answer:
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
Explanation:
The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances except "a broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
This is because in the United States, for the real estate brokers to renew a license they need to undergo an examination as part of the requirements. However, they may be granted an exception under specific situations such as
1. When they still hold a valid license within the last 3 years
2. When they hold broker associate valid license within the last two years
3. When they are now into salesperson employment.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."

On December 30, 2014, Yang Corporation granted compensatory stock options for 5,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock to certain of its key employees. The options may be exercised after 2 years of employment. Market price of the common stock on that date was $30 per share and the option price was $30 per share. Using a fair value option pricing model, total compensation expense is determined to be $80,000. The options are exercisable beginning January 1, 2017, providing those key employees are still in the employ of the company at the time the options are exercised. The options expire on January 1, 2018.
Required:
Prepare the following selected journal entries for the company
a. December 30, 2014.
b. December 31, 2015.
c. January 1, 2017, assuming 90% of the options were exercised at that date.
d. January 1, 2018, for the 10% of the options that expired
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The selected journal entries for the company has been prepared and attached. Note that:
Cash on January 1, 2017 was calculated as: = (30 × 5000 × 90%)
= 30 × 5000 × 0.9
= $135000
Paid in capital - stock options was calculated as:
= (80000 × 90%)
= $80000 × 0.9
= $72000
Common stock was gotten as: (5000× 90% × 1)
= $5000 × 0.9 × 1
= $450

Determinants of Interest Rate for Individual Securities The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on 3-year Treasury securities is 8.30 percent, and the 6-year Treasury rate is 8.45 percent. From discussions with your broker, you have determined that expected inflation premium is 3.70 percent next year, 3.95 percent in Year 2, and 4.15 percent in Year 3 and beyond. Further, you expect that real interest rates will be 4.10 percent annually for the foreseeable future. What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security
Maturity risk premium=
8.45% = 4.15% + 4.10% + MP
MP = 8.45% − (4.15% + 4.10%)
MP=8.45%-8.25%
MP=0.20*100
MP=20%
Therefore the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security will be 20%
If a taxpayer sells property for cash, the amount realized consists of the net proceeds from the sale. For each of the following, indicate the effect on the amount realized if:
a. The property is sold on credit. The amount realized includes both the cash received at the time of sale and the cash to be received in the future .
b. A mortgage on the property is assumed by the buyer. The assumption by the buyer of the seller's mortgage the amount realized by_______ .
c. A mortgage on the property of the buyer is assumed by the seller. The assumption by the seller of the buyer's mortgage the amount realized by______ .
d. The buyer acquires the property subject to a mortgage of the seller. The buyer's acquisition of the property subject to the mortgage of the seller the amount realized by_______ .
e. Stock that has a basis to the purchaser of $6,000 and a fair market value of $10,000 is received by the seller as part of the consideration. The receipt of the stock by the seller the amount realized by the seller by_________
Answer:
a. Is answered
b. The amount realized increases.
As the mortgage is assumed by the buyer, the seller is now free of the debt in addition to making cash from selling. Realized value therefore increases.
c. The amount realized decreases.
As the mortgage is assumed by the seller, they will have to pay off the mortgage from the cash received therefore their realized value decreases.
d. Amount realized increases.
As the buyer is gets the property subject to the mortgage, they will be the ones making the mortgage payments instead of the seller so the seller's realized value will increase.
e. Realized value increases to $10,000.
The seller accepted the stock so the fair value will be the amount considered for the realized value.
Suppose that a candy maker owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a library. Further suppose that because the candy maker is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he makes candy. While the library cannot insist on a quiet environment, it could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $300/month more than rent in the noisy building. The candy maker can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $225/month. Given this situation, can the library find a private solution with the candy maker that will make both better off
