Answer:
The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%
The Return on assets is 20%
The Profit margin is 8.8%
The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times
The Return on equity is 40.4%
Explanation:
The calculation of the five profitability ratios listed would be a follows:
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $19,310,000 - $12,250,000
= $7,060,000
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / Sales * 100
= $7,060,000 / $19,310,000 * 100
= 36.6%
The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets * 100
= $1,700,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2] * 100
= 20%
The Return on assets would be 20%
Profit margin = Net profit / Sales * 100
= $1,700,000 / $19,310,000 * 100
= 8.8%
The Profit margin would be 8.8%
Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets
= $19,310,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2]
= 2.3 times
The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times
Return on equity = Net income / Average total equity
= $1,700,000 / [($1,900,000+$2,980,000+$1,900,000+$1,640,000)/2]
= 40.4%
The Return on equity would be 40.4%
From its inception through the year of 2017, First Mart, Inc. was profitable and made strong dividend payments each year. In the year 2018, First Mart had major losses and paid no dividends. In 2019, the company started making large profits again, and they were able to pay dividends to all shareholders—both common and preferred. There are 1,700 shares of cumulative, 14% preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock has a par value of $100.00. What is the total amount of dividends that should be paid to the preferred stockholders in December, 2019?
Answer:
Total dividend paid in 2019 =$47,600
Explanation:
The cumulative preference shares entire the investors to fixed amount of dividend. Where dividends are not paid during an accounting period, the unpaid dividend are carried forward and paid in arrears when profits become available.
Dividend = Dividend rate× nominal value of stock
Dividend in 2018 (unpaid) = 14%× 1,700 × 100 =23,800
Dividend in 2019 = 14%× 1,700 × 100 =23,800
Total dividend paid in 2019 = Unpaid dividend of 2018 + Dividend payable in 2019
= 23,800 + 23,800= $47,600
Total dividend paid in 2019 =$47,600

Changes in the job market, such as significant expansion or reduction within a particular career field, causing large numbers of people to move up or down the class ladder would characterize ________________ mobility.
Answer:
social
Explanation:
Social mobility refers changes in an individual's social economic class within a stratification system. A social stratification system is the way society ranks individuals and families according to the social status. A person's or a family's social status is generally determined by wealth or power (or both).
When a person moves up the social ladder (stratification system) it means that they are improving their status and society generally perceives them as more valuable. E.g. Serguei Brin went from being a Russian immigrant to an extremely wealthy and powerful person after Google was a success. That is a clear example of a person moving up the social ladder.
People can also lower their social class when they lose their jobs and go through severe economic hardships.
Zachary Manufacturing Company has an opportunity to purchase some technologically advanced equipment that will reduce the company’s cash outflow for operating expenses by $1,287,000 per year. The cost of the equipment is $9,187,846.67. Zachary expects it to have a 11-year useful life and a zero salvage value. The company has established an investment opportunity hurdle rate of 15 percent and uses the straight-line method for depreciation. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
a. Calculate the internal rate of return of the investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Indicate whether the investment opportunity should be accepted.
1. Internal Rate of Return
2. Should the investment opportunity be accepted?
Answer:
IRR = 8%
Don't accept the project
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = -9,187,846.67
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = 1287000
IRR = 8%
Because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate, the project shouldn't be accepted.
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:
a) IRR
IRR = 9%
b)
Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders
Explanation:
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost
PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r
A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years
NPVa
PV of annual savings = 1,287,000 × (1- 1.15^(-11))/0.15= 6,735,787.15
NPV = 6,735,787.15 - 9,187,846.67.= 2,452,059.52
NPVb
PV of annual savings = (1,287,000 × (1- 1.03^(-11))/0.03=11908127.23
NPV b = 11908127.23 -9187846.67 =2720280.564
IRR = 3% + ( 2720280.564 /(2720280.564 +2,452,059.52) )× (15-3)%
IRR = 9%
Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders
In each of the following cases, calculate the accounting break-even and the cash break-even points. Ignore any tax effects in calculating the cash break-even. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

3 312.5 units
Cash break-even
Case Break-even
1 = 13,861.38
2 = 8125
3 = 312.5
Explanation:
Accounting break even is computed as
Break-even = (total fixed cost + depreciation ) /selling price - variable cost per unit
Case
1 = (7,000,000 + 1,250,000)/(2,800- 2,295)= 11386.13861
2 (65,000 +160,000)/(51-43 ) unit = 28125
3 (1,800 + 700)/ (12- 4)= 312.5
Cash break even
Under here only cash based fixed cost would be used , depreciation would be ignored. This is so because it is not a fixed cost .
Break-even = (total fixed cost ) /selling price - variable cost per unit
1 = (7,000,000 )/(2,800- 2,295)= 13,861.38
2 (65,000 )/(51-43 ) unit = 8125
3 (1,800 + 700)/ (12- 4)= 312.5
A decrease in the interest rate results in:______.
1. a greater opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
2. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending decreases.
3. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
4. a greater opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending decreases.
Answer:
3. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the foregone alternative when a person undertakes an activity. For example going to work is the opportunity cost of staying at home to rest.
Opportunity cost is weighed against activity to be undertaken.
In this instance the opportunity cost of investment is the alternative foregone by investors.
As interest rate decreases it makes investment attractive because the cost of doing business decreases. This make other alternatives less attractive (smaller opportunity cost).
Investment now increases.
The monetary regulation agencies use interest rate a tool to either boost or reduce investment. The higher the interest rate th lower investment, and vice versa
Required: Steve Queen and Chelsy Bernard formed a partnership, dividing income as follows: Annual salary allowance to Bernard of $88,920. Interest of 5% on each partner's capital balance on January 1. Any remaining net income divided to Queen and Bernard, 1:2. Queen and Bernard had $96,000 and $93,000, respectively, in their January 1 capital balances. Net income for the year was $156,000. How much is distributed to Queen and Bernard
Answer:
Queen = $126,640
Bernard = $42,410
Explanation:
2,530 answers
Remaining profit = $156,000 - $88,920 - ($96,00,000 + $93,000) X 7%
Remaining profit = $53,850
Queen: $88,920 + ($96,000 X 7%) + ($53,850 X 1/3)
Queen= $126,640
Bernard: ($93,000 X 7%) + ($53,850 X 2/3)
Bernard = $42,410
Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $2.90 and $2.36 over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 3.4 percent. What is the stock price today if the required return is 10.8 percent?
Answer:
$31.40
Explanation:
Value of stock is the sum of present value of all the dividends associated with stock in future.
We will use the following formula to calculate the present values of dividends
Present Values = P x ( 1 + r )^-n
First year = $2.90 x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-1 = $2.62
Second year = $2.36 x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-2 = $1.92
First we need to calculate the value of stock at year 2 and discount it to year 0.
After second year = [ $2.36 x ( 1 + 3.4% ) / ( 10.8% - 3.4% ) ] x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-2 =$26.86
Now add all the present values of dividend below to determine the value of stock.
Value of stock = $2.62 + $1.92 + $26.86 = $31.40
John has an auto which is covered for collision losses subject to a $250 deductible. Kate's auto also has collision coverage but her deductible is $500. How would a $2,000 collision loss be paid if it occurs when John borrows Kate's car because his car is in the shop for repairs?
Answer:
Kate policy will pay 1500 dollars while Johns policy will pay 250 dollars
Explanation:
kates policy will pay 1500 dollars while johns policy will pay 250 dollars.
Since Kates deductible is 500 dollars, this deductible will be subtracted from the 2000 dollars collission loss that occurred when John borrowed her car. which gives $1500. therefore her policy will get to pay 1500 dollars. while johns policy will have to pay $250

Comparing costs under ABC to traditional plantwide overhead rate LO P1, P3 Smythe Co. makes furniture. The following data are taken from its production plans for the year. Direct labor costs $ 5,870,000 Hazardous waste disposal costs 630,000 Chairs Tables Expected production 211,000 units 17,000 units Direct labor hours required 254,000 DLH 16,400 DLH Hazardous waste disposed of 200 pounds 800 pounds
Determine the hazardous waste disposal cost per unit for chairs and for tables if costs are assigned using a single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours.
Answer:
Chairs= $2.805
Tables= $2.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hazardous waste disposal costs= $630,000
Production:
Chairs= 211,000
Tables= 17,000 units
Direct labor hours required:
Chairs= 254,000 DLH
Tables= 16,400 DLH
Total DLH= 270,400
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 630,000/ 270,400
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $2.33 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Chairs= 2.33*254,000= $591,820
Tables= 2.33*16,400= $38,212
Finally overhead per unit:
Chairs= 591,820/211,000= $2.805
Tables= 38,212/17,000= $2.25
Harrods PLC has a market value of £139 million and 5 million shares outstanding. Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £41 million and 2 million shares outstanding. Harrods is contemplating acquiring Selfridge. Harrods' CFO concludes that the combined firm with synergy will be worth £195 million, and Selfridge can be acquired at a premium of £10 million. a. If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge, what will the stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b, What exchange ratio between the two stocks would make the value of a stock offer equivalent to a cash offer £51 million? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
(a) The stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition is £ 31.45
(b) The exchange ratio between the two stocks would be 0.8550
Explanation:
Harrods PLC has a market value of £139 million and 5 million shares outstanding.
Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £41 million and 2 million shares outstanding.
a) If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge
Shares outstanding = 5 + 1.2 = 6.2 million
Stock price = £ 195 million ÷ 6.2 million = £ 31.45
b) alpha × 195 = 51
alpha = £51 million ÷ £195 million
= 26.15%
(195 ÷ ( 5 +X ) ) × X = 51
51 (5+X) = 195X
255 + 51X = 195X
144X = 255
X = 1.77 million shares
Exchange ratio would be: 1.77 ÷ 2
= 0.8550

You are trying to price two bonds that have the same maturity and par value but different coupon rates. Both bonds mature in 8 years and at maturity both bonds return the par value of $1,000. One bond has a coupon rate of 4% and a yield to maturity of 4%. The other bond has a coupon rate of 5% and a yield to maturity of 4%. What is the absolute value of the difference between the prices of these two bonds
The difference between the prices of the two bonds is $67.33.
What is the bond?A bond is a type of fixed-income mechanism that conveys a loan made by an investor to a borrower. A bond could be considered as an I.O.U. between the lender and borrower that contains the elements of the loan and its payments.
The formula of bond pricing:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}[/tex]
Where,
C= Coupon Rate, r = Maturity Rate, F= par value, n= Number of year.
Computation of final value of the bond:
Bond 1:
According to the given information,
Coupon rate(C)= 4%,
Maturity rate(r) = 4%,
Par value of the bond(F)= $1,000
Apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=4\%\times\dfrac{1-(1+4\%)^8}{4\%}+\dfrac{\$1,000}{(1+4\%)^8}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=\$1,000.[/tex]
Therefore, the bond price is $1,000.
Bond 2:
According to the given information,
Coupon rate(C)= 5%,
Maturity rate(r) = 4%,
Par value of the bond(F)= $1,000
Apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=5\%\times\dfrac{1-(1+4\%)^8}{4\%}+\dfrac{\$1,000}{(1+4\%)^8}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=\$1,067.33.[/tex]
Therefore, the difference between the prices of these two bonds is :
[tex]\text{Difference}= \text{Bond 1-Bond2}\\\\\text{Difference}= \$1,000-\$1,067.33\\\\\text{Difference}= 67.33[/tex]

Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of
$21,980 for the current year. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $19,800; net cash used in investing activities
was $10,900 and net cash provided by financing activities
was $13,080. If the year-end cash balance is $26,700, the
beginning cash balance was:
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
$4,720.
$17,260.
$48,680.
$43,960.
$42,960.
The beginning cash balance was $4,720
Explanation:
The formula for closing cash balance can be used to determine the opening cash balance as shown thus:
closing cash balance=net increase in cash+opening balance of cash
by arranging the equation
opening cash balance =closing cash balance-net increase in cash
closing cash balance is $26,700
net increase in cash is $21,980
opening cash balance=$26,700-$21,980=$4,720

Selected operating data for two divisions of Outback Brewing, Ltd., of Australia are given below: Division Queensland New South Wales Sales $ 2,275,000 $ 2,781,000 Average operating assets $ 650,000 $ 515,000 Net operating income $ 232,050 $ 200,232 Property, plant, and equipment (net) $ 265,000 $ 215,000 Required: 1. Compute the rate of return for each division using the return on investment (ROI) formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Which divisional manager seems to be doing the better job
Answer:
Queensland division has ROI of 35.7%
New South Wales division has ROI of 38.88%
The divisional manager at New South Sales division has a higher ROI and seems to doing better job
Explanation:
The return on investment stated in terms of margin and turnover=net operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets
For Queensland division return on investment is computed thus:
net operating income is $232,050
sales is $2,275,000
average operating assets is $650,000
return on investment=$232,050/$2,275,000*$2,275,000/$650,000=35.70%
For New South Wales division return on investment is computed thus:
net operating income is $200,232
sales is $2,781,000
average operating assets is $515,000
return on investment=$200,232/$2,781,000*$2,781,000/$515,000=38.88%

The computer workstation furniture manufacturing that Santana Rey started in January is progressing well. As of the end of June, Business Solutions's job cost sheets show the following total costs accumulated on three furniture jobs.
Job 602 Job 603 Job 604
Direct materials $ 1,500 $ 3,700 $ 2,800
Direct labor 900 1,380 1,800
Overhead 360 552 720
Job 602 was started in production in May, and these costs were assigned to it in May: direct materials, $600; direct labor, $250; and overhead, $100. Jobs 603 and 604 were started in June. Overhead cost is applied with a predetermined rate based on direct labor costs. Jobs 602 and 603 are finished in June, and Job 604 is expected to be finished in July. No raw materials are used indirectly in June. (Assume this company’s predetermined overhead rate did not change over these months.)
Required:1. What is the cost of the raw materials used in June for each of the three jobs and in total?2. How much total direct labor cost is incurred in June?3. What predetermined overhead rate is used in June?4. How much cost is transferred to finished goods inventory in June? (Leave no cell blank enter "0" wherever required.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Job 602 Job 603 Job 604
Direct materials= $ 1,500 $ 3,700 $ 2,800
Direct labor= 900 1,380 1,800
Overhead= 360 552 720
Job 602:
direct materials= $600
direct labor= $250
overhead= $100.
1) Raw materials:
Job 602= 1,500 - 600= $900
Job 603= 3,700
Job 604= 2,800
Total= $7,400
2) Direct labor:
Job 602= 900 - 250= $650
Job 603= 1,380
Job 604= 1,800
Total= $3,830
3) Overhead:
Job 602= 350 - 100= 250
Job 603= 552
Job 604= 720
Total= $1,522
4) The cost transferred to finished goods is the total cost of jobs 602 and 603.
Total cost 602= 1,500 + 900 + 360= 2,760
Total cost 603= 3,700 + 1,380 + 552= $5,632
Total cost transferred to finished goods= 2,760 + 5,632= $8,392
The Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 50,000 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000. a) Determine the total factory overhead amount applied. b) Calculate the over or under applied amount for the year. c) Prepare the journal entry to close factory overhead into Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated factory overhead= $1,250,000.
Estimated machine-hours= 50,000 hours.
The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000.
First, we need to determine the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,250,000/50,000= $25 er machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 25*54,300= $1,357,500
Finally, we calculate the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 1,375,000 - 1,357,500
Under/over applied overhead= $17,500 underapplied
Cost of goods sold 17,500
Manufacturing overhead 17,500
You have just purchased a U.S. Treasury bond for $747.25. No payments will be made until the bond matures 5 years from now, at which time it will be redeemed for $1,000. What interest rate will you earn on this bond
Answer:
6% interest rate
Explanation:
The equation you should use is just a variation of the PV formula:
r = (FV/PV)1/t -1
r = ($1000/$747.25)1/5 - 1
r = 6% interest rate
The interest rate i will eventually earn on this bond is 6%
Six equal annual contributions are made to a fund, with the first deposit on December 31, 2019. Required: Using the future value tables, determine the equal contributions that, if invested at 10% compounded annually, will accumulate to a fund of $30,000 on December 31, 2024.
Answer:
The answer is $3,888.22
Explanation:
This is an annuity due because the cash flow is being done on the first day of each period.
Annuity is a fixed sum of money paid to or receceived from someone or business every year.
Future Value(FV) = $30,000
Interest rate(i or I/Y) = 10%
Number of years(N)= 6 years
Annuity (PMT) = ?
Using a Financial calculator to solve it (Texa BA II Plus )
Annuity (equal contributions) will be $3,888.22
Select either true or false for the following statements. 1. Relevant costs are also known as unavoidable costs 2. Incremental costs are also known as differential costs 3. An out-of-pocket cost requires a current and/or future outlay of cash. 4. An opportunity cost is the potential benefit that is lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available 5. A sunk cost will change with a future course of action.
Answer:
1. Relevant costs are also known as unavoidable costs - False.
Relevant costs are in fact, avoidable cost that only emerge in specific business decisions.
2. Incremental costs are also known as differential costs - False
Incremental costs are costs that are incurred when an additional unit of output is produced. Differential costs ocurr when a particular product is made instead of another.
3. An out-of-pocket cost requires a current and/or future outlay of cash. - True
An out-of-pocket cost or expense is a direct payment of money, in other words, an outlay of cash.
4. An opportunity cost is the potential benefit that is lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available - True
An opportunity cost can also be defined as what is given up to obtain something.
5. A sunk cost will change with a future course of action. - False
Sunk costs are costs incurred in the past, that cannot be recovered, or modified.
purchased equipment on January1, 2018,for $ 27 comma 419.Suppose Duck Pond Golf Club Sold the equipment for $ 19 comma 000 on December 31 comma 2019.Accumulated Depreciation as of December31, 2019,was $ 12 comma 186.Journalize the sale of the equipment, assuming straight-line depreciation was used.
Answer:
31 December 2019
Cash 19000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation 12186 Dr
Equipment 27419 Cr
Gain on disposal 3767 Cr
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation method charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset.
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal/sale of an asset like this, we need to first determine the book value or carrying value of asset on that day.
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying value = 27419 - 12186
Carrying value = $15233
Gain or (loss) on disposal = Cash/Sale proceeds - Carrying Value
Gain or (loss) on disposal = 19000 - 15233
Gain or (loss) on disposal = $3767 Gain
