Audreys free-throw percentage so far this season is .875. If she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, her percentage will drop to .860. How many free throws has Audrey made this season?



solve using a guess and check method

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 245

Explanation:

From the question, Audreys free-throw percentage this season is 0.875 and if she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, the percentage will drop to 0.860. To calculate the number of free throws Audrey has made this season goes thus:

Audrey's current rate = 0.875

Let us say y out of z should be 0.875

y/z = 0.875 ........ equation i

Therefore,

y+13/z+20 = 0.860 ........ equation ii

Recall that y/z = 0.875

y = 0.875z

Put the value of y into equation ii

y+13/z+20 = 0.860

0.875z + 13/z + 20 = 0.860

Cross multiply

0.875z + 13 = 0.860(z + 20)

0.875z + 13 = 0.860z + 17.2

Collect like terms

0.875z - 0.860z = 17.2 - 13

0.015z = 4.2

z = 4.2/0.015

z = 280

Since y =0.875z

y = 0.875 × 280

y= 245

Therefore, the number of throws Audrey made this season is 245

The ABC Corporation is considering introducing a new product, which will require buying new equipment for a monthly payment of $5,000. Each unit produced can be sold for $20.00. ABC incurs a variable cost of $10.00 per unit. Suppose that ABC would like to realize a monthly profit of $50,000. How many units must they sell each month to realize this profit?

Answers

Answer:

5500 units per month must be sold to earn the required profit

Explanation:

The target profit is the amount of profit that a business wants to earn. To calculate the target profit, we can use the break even analysis and include the factor for target profit under its formula and calculate the units and the dollar sales needed to earn the target profit.

In this case, the target profit is $50000 per month.

The break even in units = Fixed cost / contribution margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

To calculate units required for target profit, we will add the target profit to the fixed cost and divide by the contribution margin per unit

Target profit units = (fixed cost + target profit) / Contribution margin per unit

So,

Contribution margin per unit = 20 - 10 = $10 per unit

Target profit units = (5000 + 50000) / 10

Target profit units = 5500 units per month

Sellers allow customers to use credit cards for all of the following reasons except: Multiple Choice To be able to charge more due to fees and interest. To increase total sales volume. To avoid having to evaluate a customer's credit standing for each sale. To speed up receipt of cash from the credit sale. To lessen the risk of extending credit to customers who cannot pay.

Answers

Answer:

To be able to charge more due to fees and interest.

Explanation:

I believe this is the answer because the aim of a business is to gain as much profit as possible and to provide quality products. So by allowing customers to use credit cards, you are gaining more money from charging fees and interest.

To be willing to charge more than that to cover penalties and charges.

Because accepting credit cards allows sellers to get payments at around a similar time as credit selling. As a result, the vendor could indeed insistence on charging more owing to interest payments.Even though all of the other possibilities are correct, the one in which they seek to impose higher charges is false.

Thus the above response i.e., "option a" is correct.

Between April 2011 and April 2016, the price of a U.S. postage stamp increased from $0.41 to $0.46. The price of a U.S. postage stamp has increased approximately ________ in terms of Indian rupees and ________ in terms of Chinese yuan.

Answers

Answer:

The price of a U.S. postage stamp has increased approximately 63% in terms of Indian rupees and 10% in terms of Chinese yuan.

Explanation:

the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Indian rupee:

April 2011 = 45.54 Indian rupees per  dollar x $0.41 = 18.67 Indian rupees

April 2016 = 66.16 Indian rupees per  dollar x $0.46 = 30.43 Indian rupees

change in Indian rupees = (30.43 - 18.67) / 18.67 = 63%

the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan:

April 2011 = 6.61 Chinese yuan per  dollar x $0.41 = 2.71 Chinese yuan

April 2016 = 6.48 Chinese yuan per  dollar x $0.46 = 2.98 Chinese yuan

change in Chinese yuan = (2.98 - 2.71) / 2.71 = 10%

John is a 50% partner in Redbird Partnership. How many shares is John deemed to own in Coffee Corporation under the § 318 attribution rules?

b. 1,000

c. 1,100

d. 1,700

e. None of the above

Answers

Answer:

1,000 shares

Explanation:

The 318 attribution rule states that stock owned directly or indirectly by a partnership is considered to be owned by any partner that owns 5% or more in the business.

This is relevant to family owned businesses and is a way to mark out principal owners of a business in order to avoid tax evasion and fraud.

In this scenario John directly owns 700 of the outstanding shares. But according to the 318 attribution rule, since he he is a 50% partner he owns half of the outstanding 2,000 shares. That is 1,000 shares.

Answer:

1. If the market interest rate is 5 % when TCU issues its​ bonds, will the bonds be priced at face​ value, at a​ premium, or at a​ discount? Explain.

Since the market rate is lower than the coupon rate, the bonds will be sold at a premium. The issue price should be $875,719, which means that the bonds were sold at 125.1 and the following journal entry must be recorded:

Dr Cash 875,719

    Cr Premium on bonds payable 175,719

The 7 % bonds issued when the market interest rate is 5 % will be priced at A PREMIUM. They are ATTRACTIVE in this​ market, so investors will pay MORE THAN FACE VALUE to acquire them.

Explanation:

issued $700,000 of 7%, 20 year bonds, pay semiannual coupons ($24,500 each)

issue price = present value of face value + present value of interest payments

present value of face value = $700,000 / (1 + 2.5%)⁴⁰ = $260,701present value of annuity = $24,500 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 2.5%)⁴⁰]} / 3.5% = $615,018

budgeted  manufacturing overhead=$2871

Explanation:

Direct labour hours= budgeted production × standard hours per unit

                            = 870× 1/4 hour=217.5  hours

Direct labour cost =  217.5 ×    $12 =$2610

A company deposits $2,378 in a bank at the end of every year for 10 years. The company makes no deposits during the subsequent 5 years. If the bank pays 10% interest, how much would be in the account at the end of 15 years?

Answers

Answer:

Final Value= $61,037.04

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Investment= $2,378 in a bank at the end of every year for 10 years.

The company makes no deposits during the subsequent 5 years.

Interest rate= 10%

First, we need to calculate the first 10 years.

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

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,378*[(1.1^10)-1]} / 0.1

FV= $37,899.20

Now, the 5 years:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 37,899.2*(1.1^5)

FV= $61,037.04

Wolken has never paid a dividend on its common stock, and it issued $2,400,000 of 10-year non-callable, long-term debt in 2014. As of the end of 2015, none of the principal on this debt had been repaid. Assume that the company's sales in 2014 and 2015 were the same. Which of the following statements must be CORRECT?
a. Wolken had negative net income in 2015.
b. Wolken repurchased some common stock in 2015.
c. Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.
d. Wolken issued long-term debt in 2015.
e. Wolken increased its short-term bank debt in 2015.

Answers

Answer: Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.

Explanation:

From the information that have been provided in the question, we can see that in 2015, the common stock was 3,000,000 while in 2014, the common stock was 2,000,000. This shows that there was an increase of: (3,000,000 - 2,000,000) = 1,000,000 new common stock.

Wolkem did not have a negative me income in 2015 and also didn't issue long term debt in 2015 as he had the same amount of long term debt for 2014 and 2015 which was 2,400,000.

Therefore option C is the correct answer as Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.

Examples of some limited liability companies are Blockbuster LLC, Chrysler Group LLC, Dougherty & Company LLC, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC etc.

The advantages of a LLC is that it provides it's owners with limited liability, such as business debts. Also, LLC isn't taxed directly by the internal revenue service (IRS) because it isn't regarded as a separate tax business entity.

On July 1, ABC Company borrowed $440,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 10% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $71,608. What is the journal entry to record the first annual payment? Multiple Choice Debit Interest Expense $44,000; credit Cash $44,000. Debit Interest Expense $71,608; credit Cash $71,608. Debit Cash $440,000; debit Interest Expense $71,608; credit Notes Payable $511,608. Debit Interest Expense $44,000; debit Interest Payable $27,608; credit Cash $71,608. Debit Interest Expense $44,000; debit Notes Payable $27,608; credit Cash $71,608.

Answers

Answer:

Debit Interest Expense $44,000;

Debit Notes Payable $27,608;

Credit Cash $71,608

Explanation:

When loan is acquired it increases cash and becomes a liability for the company. So cash is increased by debiting cash with $ 440,000 and liability is also increased by crediting notes payable. As the cash payment  for the first year is $71,608 then it is credited .

The journal entry to record the first annual payment is as follows.

Debit Interest Expense $44,000;

Debit Notes Payable $27,608;

Credit Cash $71,608

Interest Expense = 10 % of $ 440,000= $ 44,000

As part of the Notes Payable is paid the notes payable is debited with an amount of $27,608. And cash is credited with an equal amount paid i.e. $ 71,608

Five consumers have the following marginal utility of apples and pears:
Consumer Marginal Utility of Apples Marginal Utility of Pears
Alex 5 9
Becky 5 10
Clancy 4 8
Eileen 4 10
Hubert 3 4
The price of an apple is $1, and the price of a pear is $2.
Which, if any, of these consumers are optimizing over their choice of fruit?
A) Alex
B) Becky
C) Clancy
D) Eileen
E) Hubert

Answers

Answer:

Becky and Clancy are optimizing over their choice of fruit

Explanation:

In order to find which these consumers are optimizing over their choice of fruit we would have to use the following formula:

Marginal utility of apples/Marginal utility of pears=price of apple/price of pear

For Alex =5/9>1/2

For Becky =5/10=1/2

For Clancy =4/8=1/2

For Eileen =4/10<1/2

For Hubert=3/4>1/2

Therefore, only Becky and Clancy are optimizing

The interest due on the notes of $2,000 ($100,000*12%*2/12) would be recognized when the notes receivable become due for payment not immediately

At a total cost of $6,300,000, Herrera Corporation acquired 195,000 shares of Tran Corp. common stock as a long-term investment. Herrera Corporation uses the equity method of accounting for this investment. Tran Corp. has 750,000 shares of common stock outstanding, including the shares acquired by Herrera Corporation. Required: A. Journalize the entries by Herrera Corporation on December 31 to record the following information (refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles): 1. Tran Corp. reports net income of $928,000 for the current period. 2. A cash dividend of $0.26 per common share is paid by Tran Corp. during the current period. B. Why is the equity method appropriate for the Tran Corp. investment

Answers

Answer:

1)

Journal entry to record the investment in Tran. Corp.

Dr Investment in Tran Corp 6,300,000

    Cr Cash 6,300,000

Journal entry to record distributed dividends

Dr Cash 50,700

    Cr Investment in Tran Corp 50,700

under the equity method, distributed dividends reduce the investment account

Journal entry to record Tran. Corp.'s net income

Dr Investment in Tran Corp 241,280

    Cr Revenue from investment in Tran. Corp. 241,280

since Herrera owns 26% of Tran Corp.'s stock, then 26% of its net income increases the investment account

B)

The equity method is appropriate when a company owns 20% or more of another company or exercises significant influence in the decisions of the other company.

Assume Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $40 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.25 per share and each share trades for $40. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $20 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 9%. If the firmʹs tax rate is 40%, what is the WACC?

Answers

Answer:

6.83%

Explanation:

For the computation of WACC first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Step 1

Price = Dividend ÷ Cost of equity - Growth rate

= $40 = $0.25 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.07)

Cost of equity = 7.625 %

Step 2

Cost of Debt

After cost of debt = Yield × (1 - Tax)

= 0.09 × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 5.40%

and finally,

WACC = (Cost of debt × Weight of debt) + (Cost of equity × Weight of equity)

= (5.40% × $20 ÷ $60) + (7.625% × $40 ÷ $60)

= 0.018 + 0.050833333

= 6.883333333

or

= 6.83%

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of firm’s market value capital structure and the Weighted average cost of capital is shown with the help of spreadsheet. Kindly find it below

The formulas that we use in spreadsheet is shown below:-

WACC = Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

As per question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below  

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  

The market rate of return - risk free rate of return = market risk premium

The calculation of firm’s market value capital structure and the Weighted average cost of capital is to be given in the attachment

The formulas that we use in spreadsheet is shown below:-

WACC = Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

According to the question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below  

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

A schedule of cost of goods manufactured is also known as a: Multiple Choice Raw materials processed schedule. Factory supplies used schedule. Manufacturing statement. Total finished goods statement. Cost of goods sold schedule.

Answers

Answer:

Manufacturing statement

Explanation:

As the schedule for the raw material i.e used during the year is the same for the factory supplies i.e used. The finished goods statement is the statement which only records the actual goods that are finished during the year. And, the cost of goods schedule shows the sold-out schedule of the goods

And,

As we know that

Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + Raw materials used + direct labor cost + overhead cost  - closing work in process

Therefore the cost of goods manufactured schedule is also known as Manufacturing statement

Baden Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $176. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $140 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows.

a. Income would decrease by $8,000.

b. Income would increase by $8,000.

c. Income would increase by $140,000.

d. Income would increase by $40,000.

Answers

Answer:

Option d is correct

Increase in income        $40,000

Explanation:

                                                                                           $

Sales revenue from Order = (140× 1,000)=                  140,000

Variable cost of order ( 100× 1,000)   =                        (100,000)  

Increase in income                                                        40,000

Note that the fixed costs of $480,000 was not include in the analysis. This is is so because it would be still incurred whether the order is accepted or not. Hence, it is irrelevant for this decision.

The Soft Company has provided the following information after year-end adjustments:

• Accounts receivable were $80,000 at the beginning of the year and $420,000 at the end of the year.
• Accounts written off as uncollectible totaled $21,000.
• Net sales totaled $2,720,000.

How much was Soft's bad debt expense for the year?

a. $1,200
b. $19,800.
c. $21,000.
d. $40,800

Answers

Answer:

The allowance for doubtful accounts at end of the year is $30,800, not $30,000

The correct option is D,$40,800

Explanation:

The bad debt expense for the current year is the sum of the ending allowance for doubtful debt plus the amount written off in the year as uncolletible minus the opening balance of allowance for doubtful debt.

Ending balance of allowance for doubtful debts is $30,800

The amount written off as uncollectible is $21,000

opening balance of allowance for uncollectible is $11,000

bad debt expense=$30,800+$21,000-$11,000=$40800
