Juan owned 400 shares of Circle Corporation stock (adjusted basis of $102,000). He sold 200 shares for $40,800. Twenty days later he purchased 200 shares of the same stock for $30,600.
Required:
a. What is Juan's realized and recognized loss?
b. What is his basis in the newly acquired shares?
Answer:
a. -$10,200
b. $40,800
Explanation:
The computation of realized loss is shown below:-
Realized loss = Sales price - Adjusted basis
= $40,800 - ($102,000 × 200 ÷ 400)
= $40,800 - $51,000
= -$10,200
b. The computation of newly acquired shares is shown below:-
Basis for new acquired stock = Purchase price + Disallowed loss
= $30,600 + $10,200
= $40,800
We simply applied the above formula

None of the following would be an advantage of self-administered surveys:
A) Reduced cost
B) Respondent control
C) Reduced interview evaluation apprehension
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
A self-administered survey is one where there is the collection of the necessary data for the survey is carried out through a questionnaire of questions to be answered by the interviewee. Questionnaires can be sent via mail, e-mail, personal interception, hand delivery etc.
The advantages of self-administered surveys are cost reduction, since questionnaires can be sent via email at no cost to both, greater control of the interviewee, since the questions can be developed according to the information you want to collect, greater quick feedback, which reduces the apprehension of the interview evaluation.
False, the self-administered surveys would not be advantageous in terms of reduced interview evaluation apprehension. The Option B.
Would self-administered surveys be advantageous?Self-administered surveys eliminate the need for face-to-face interactions and direct interviewer involvement which can indeed reduce interview evaluation apprehension. When individuals complete surveys on their own, they may feel less pressured and more comfortable expressing their opinions.
But this advantage does not hold true for self-administered surveys as they are completed by the respondents themselves without the presence of an interviewer. Consequently, the absence of an interviewer does not contribute to a reduction in interview evaluation apprehension. Therefore, the Option B is correct.

Warbler Gift's reported the following information for the sales of their single product: Total Per Unit Sales $ 300,000 $ 10 Variable expenses 180,000 6 Contribution margin 120,000 $ 4 Fixed expenses 100,000 Net operating income $ 20,000 Warbler's salesmen have proposed to decrease the selling price by 50 cents per unit. How many units will need to be sold for Warbler to earn at least the same net operating income
Answer: Requitred units =34,285.7 units
Explanation:
GIVEN
Total Per Unit Sales
$ 300,000 $ 10
Variable expenses 180,000 $6
Contribution margin 120,000 $ 4
Fixed expenses 100,000
Net operating income $ 20,000
New selling price=Old price - prosed price
=$10-$0.5 = $9.5
Revised contribution margin= Selling price-Variable costs
= $9.5-$6=$3.5
Proposed Contribution margin=Net operating income + Fixed expenses.
=(100,000 +20,000)= $120,000
Required units to be sold=Proposed Contribution margin/Contribution margin per unit
= $120,000/$3.5
=34,285.7 units
Linden, Inc. uses a 5,700 square foot factory space that it rents for $2,800 a month for all its manufacturing activities. Linden has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system, and has identified its activities as follows: Preparation and Setup, Machining, Finishing, and Quality Control. 2,600 square feet of the factory are used for machining, while 1,300 square feet (each) are used for Preparation and Setup and Quality Control. Finishing uses 500 square feet. When assigning indirect costs to each activity, how much factory rent should be assigned to the Preparation and Setup cost pool
Answer:
$639
Explanation:
Rent assigned to preparation and setup = Total rent / Total space * Space used by preparation and setup
= $2,800 / 5,700 * 1,300
= 638.5965
= $639
Therefore, the factory rent that would be assigned to Preparation and Setup cost pool is $639.
A manager must make a decision on shipping. There are two shippers: A and B. Both offer a two-day rate: A for $536, and B for $525. In addition, A offers a three-day rate of $464 and a nine-day rate of $416, and B offers a four-day rate of $459 and a seven-day rate of $436. Annual holding costs are 37 percent of unit price. Three hundred and ninety boxes are to be shipped, and each box has a price of $154. Which shipping alternative would you recommend?
Answer: I would recommend shipper A three days option as that is the cheapest option with $604.499
Explanation:
Given data
Boxes to be shipped = 300
Cost/Box = $154
Annual holding cost = 37%.
Solution:
Total cost of boxes
= $154 * 300
= $46,200
Holding cost
= 0.37 * $46,200
= $17,094.
Daily holding cost
= $17,094/365
= $46.833.
Shipper A
Two days rate = $536
= $536 + 2 ( 46.833 )
= $629.266
Three days rate = $464
= $464 + 3(46.833)
= $604.499
Nine days rate = $416
= $416 + 9(46.833)
= $835.697
Shipper B
Two days rate = $525
= $525 + 2(46.833)
= $616.67
Four days rate = $459
= $459 + 4(46.833)
= $646.332
Seven days rate = $436
= $436 + 7(46.833)
= $763.831
I would recommend shipper A three days option as that is the cheapest option with $604.499

You have just found your dream home. The selling price is $120,000. You will put $20,000 down and obtain a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 7.25% compounded monthly for the rest. Suppose that in addition to the required monthly payment, you decide to make an additional principal payment along with your regular payment. How much extra must you pay each month (rounded to the nearest dollar) if you wish to pay off the loan in 20 years
Answer:
$108
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
PV = 100,000, ($120,000 - $20,000)
FV = 0,
N = 360 (30 × 12 months)
rate = 7.25%/12
Now use PMT function in Excel
= PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula
The monthly payments is 682
Now replace N with 240 (20 years × 12 months)
So,
monthly payment = 790
Therefore
The difference is
= $790 - $682
= $108

Wyle Co. has $3.9 million of debt, $1 million of preferred stock, and $2.1 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock
Answer:
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Explanation:
The capital structure of a business is made up of at least one or at most all of the following components namely Debt, Preferred Stock and Common Equity. The ratio in which each of these components form the capital structure might differ from business to business. The weightage of each component in the capital structure can be calculated by dividing the market value of each component by the sum of the market value of all the components.
Weight of a component = Market Value of component / Sum of market value of all components
Weight of Preferred stock = 1,000,000 / (3,900,000 + 1,000,000 + 2,100,000)
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Heels, a shoe manufacturer, is evaluating the costs and benefits of new equipment that would custom fit each pair of athletic shoes. The customer would have his or her foot scanned by digital computer equipment; this information would be used to cut the raw materials to provide the customer a perfect fit. The new equipment costs $107,000 and is expected to generate an additional $43,000 in cash flows for five years. A bank will make a $107,000 loan to the company at a 15% interest rate for this equipment’s purchase. Compute the recovery time for both the payback period and break-even time. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Chart Values are Based on:
10%
Cumulative Cash Inflow Present Value of Inflow Year Present Value PV Factor (Outflow) (Outflow)
(91,000) x 1.0000- (91,000) $ (91,000) 36,000 x 36,000 x 2.5 years
Answer:
Payback period = 2.49 years
Break-even time = 3.36 years
Explanation:
a. Calculation of payback period
The payback period can be described as the amount of time it will take a firm recover its cost on a project or an investment.
The payback period can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = $107,000
Annual cash flow = $43,000
Payback period = Equipment cost / Annual cash flow = $107,000 / $43,000 = 2.49 years
b. Calculation of break-even time
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation of the cumulative present value of inflow (outflow).
In the attached excel, the present value (PV) factor is calculated using the following formula:
PV factor = 1/(1 + r)^n ............................... (1)
Where;
r = interest rate = 15%
n = a particular year from 1 to 5.
Break even time can be described as the amount of time that is needed for both the discounted cash flows and the initial cost of a project to be equal.
The break-even time is calculated using the following formula:
Break-even time = X + (Y / Z) .................... (2)
X = Last year with a negative cumulative cash flow = 3
Y = Absolute value of cumulative cash flow at the end of period X = $8,821.32
Z = Present value of cash inflow for the period following X = $24,585.39
Break-even time = 3 + ($8,821.32 / $24,585.39) = 3 + 0.36 = 3.36 years

Assume Brad has a choice between two deposit accounts. Account WH has an annual percentage rate of 7.35% with interest compounded continuously. Account MW has an annual percentage rate of 7.45% with interest compounded monthly. Which account provides the highest effective annual return?
Answer: Account MW which compounds monthly provides a higher effective rate at 7.71%
Explanation:
Use the Effective Interest rate formula to see which offers the higher return.
Account WH;
Compounded continuously;
= e^(interest rate) - 1
= e^7.35% - 1
= 7.63%
Account MW
Compounded per month
= (( 1 + interest / compounding period) ^ period) - 1
= (( 1 + 7.45%/12) ^ 12) -1
= 7.71%

industry studies suggest that design activities introduce __ of all errors during the software process
Answer:
This question speaks to Computer Science.
The missing word is Correction.
Thus the complete sentence is: Industry studies suggest that design activities introduce correction of all errors during the software development process.
Explanation:
Requirements engineering is a branch of software development which appraises the needs that the software intends to meet and ensures that expectations are met. Errors at this stage can be very costly to correct if detected after the software is completed.
It is best practice for errors to be corrected during the feasibility stage. The next best phase to correct debug for errors and do major overhauls is during the design phase.

Lightfoot Company sells its product for $55 per unit and has variable costs of $30 per unit. Total fixed costs are $25,000. Suppose variable costs increase by 10% due to an increase in the cost of direct materials. What will be the effect on the breakeven point in units if variable costs increase by $5 due to an increase in the cost of directmaterials?
A. It will increase by 250 units.
B. It will decrease by 167 units.
C. It will decrease by 250 units.
D. It will increase by 167 units.
Answer:
The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $25,000
Selling price= $55
Unitary varaible cost= $30
First, we need to calculate the current break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 25,000 / 25
Break-even point in units= 1,000
Now, the new Break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= 25,000 / (55 - 35)
Break-even point in units= 1,250
The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.

On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 2017, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the time-weighted rate of return for Brian's stock portfolio over the two year period
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.
Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016
start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000
Return = [tex]\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1[/tex]
Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017
start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000
Return = [tex]\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571[/tex]
Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017
start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000
Return = [tex]\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901[/tex].
Therefore, time weighted return
= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1
= 0.019305
= 1.93%.

Troy, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building. His records reflect the following for 20X1. On March 1, 20X1, office B was leased for twelve months for $12,000. A $900 security deposit was received which will be used as the last month's rent. On September 30, 20X1, the tenant in office A paid Troy $3,600 to cancel the lease expiring on March 31, 20X1. The lease of the tenant in office C expired on December 31, 20X1, and the tenant left improvements valued at $1,400. The improvements were not in lieu of any required rent. Considering just these four amounts, what amount must Troy include in rental income on his income tax return for 20X1?
a. $17,900
b. $17,000
c. $16,500
d. $13,800
Answer:
c. $16,500
Explanation:
The rental revenue from office B must be included even though 3 months of rent belong to 20x2 = $12,000 + the $900 security deposit (last moth of rent). The $3,600 received for canceling the lease of office A should also be included. Total rental income = $12,000 + $900 + $3,600 = $16,500.
Cash basis taxpayers recognize revenue when they collect money, and recognize expenses when they pay for them. There are some exceptions that apply to prepaid expenses or unearned revenue. This is known as the 12 month rule. It means that if the cash collection or payment do not extend for more than 12 months after they were made, then they can be recorded as either revenues or expenses during the current period. Since the rent was prepaid in advance for 12 months, then all the cash received must be considered revenue.

All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.
