Answer:
1) $6.32
2) $7.50
3) $6.65
4) $7.35
The correct option is the second one ,$7.50
Explanation:
The value of operations is $1,000
If dividends of $50 million is paid,such cash would be paid would be gotten from short-term investments of $100 million since it is easily convertible to cash without losing a significant portion of its value,hence the short term investments reduce to $50 million
$ million
Value of operations $1000
plus value of non-operating assets $50
Value of firm $1050
less value of debt ($300)
Intrinsic value of the firm $750
Intrinsic value of share=$750/100=$7.5
The intrinsic value per share is the total value attributable to common stock divided by the number of common stock in issue.

What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?
Answer:
The value of bond is $837.213, the bond is a discount bond
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The Rate of return is 13% which is higher than the coupon rate.
What this suggest is that the investors anticipates a return that is higher when compared to return supplied by bonds. thus, the bond value we decrease and it becomes a discount bond.
Now,
The bond value is given below:
Bond value = [Coupon rate in year 1 / ( 1 + Investor return )1 + Coupon rate in year 2 / ( 1 + Investor return )2 + Coupon rate in year n / ( 1 + Investor return )n ] + Par value / ( 1 + investor return )n
Thus,
= [ $100 / (1 + 0.13)1 + $100 / ( 1 + 0.13)2... $100 / ( 1 + 0.13)10 ] + $1000 / ( 1 + 0.13 )10
= $542.62 + 294.58
= $837.21
Value of bond will be = $837.213
The loss associated with the fact that at the profitminusmaximizing quantity consumers value the goods more than it cost to produce them is called A. Lerner Loss. B. comparative loss. C. deadweight loss. D. Consumer Value Loss.
Answer:
deadweight loss.
Explanation:
Deadweight loss can also be referred to excess burden. Deadweight loss occurs when there is an inefficiency in the market as a result of reduction in optimal production of goods and services, in this situation the equilibrium of demand and supply is distorted.
For example, deadweight loss can result from raise in price of goods and services as a result of tax. When price is raised as a result of tax, buyers tend to reduce consumption and this can reduce the production of goods. The reduced production of goods and the reduced consumption can reduce the size of the market less than optimum equilibrium.

Suppose the government imposes a tax on cheese. The deadweight loss from this tax will likely be greater in the:a) first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. b) first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be more elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. c) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. d) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be more elastic in the first year than in the eighth year.
Answer:
c) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year.
Explanation:
Tax increases the price of a good.
Dead weight loss is reduction in efficiency as a result of taxation.
Demand and supply is usually less elastic in the short run when compared to the long run. I the short run, consumers and producers don't have enough time to search for suitable substitutes.
So in the short run, there would be little or no change in demand or supply but in the long run, consumers would be able to search for more subsituites so the deadweight loss would be greater.

Setrakian Industries needs to raise $71.8 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.78 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 25 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.46 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
39,183 bonds
Explanation:
In order to determine the number of bonds that must be sold to realize cash of $71.8 million,the price per bond needs to be established using pv formula in excel as found below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is yield to maturity of 6.46% divided by 2
nper is the number of coupon payments which is 25 years multiplied by 2 i.e 50
pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon i.e $2000*5.78%*6/12=$57.8
fv is the face value of $2000 per bond
=-pv(6.46%/2,50,57.8,2000)=$ 1,832.43
number of bonds to be issued=$71,800,000/$ 1,832.43 = 39,183 bonds
At the annual meeting of the HR division at a consumer products company, the vice president of HR noted that pay compression was a problematic phenomenon for certain jobs for which there was high demand, but low supply. This problem was especially acute for jobs in information technology and software engineering. The vice president of HR has hired you as a compensation consultant to help the company formulate an action plan for dealing with this situation. What would you say in this situation about potential solutions to the problem?
Answer:
Provide equity adjustments for employees hardest hit by pay compression
Explanation:
Pay compression is defined as a situation where employees earn similar salary regardless of their skills and experience.
In this situation pay compression will cause employee attrition because they are not satisfied with the compensation that is uniform to all employees.
To remedy this equity adjustments can be introduced for those hardest hit by the pay compression.
For example an information technology expert with 10 years experience will feel undervalued if he is on the same pay level as a new hire.
Equity adjustment is a salary change that is outside normal salary program based on promotion, reclassification, and merit.
This is used as a solution where retention of high demand staff required. A staff can be offered higher compensation to ensure they do not leave the organisation.
Higher compensation can be given based on tenure in a particular position

1. Prepare a comparative income statement with horizontal analysis for the two-year period, using 20Y1 as the base year. Use the minus sign to indicate an amount or percent decrease. If required, round percentages to one decimal place.
2. To the extent the data permit, comment on the significant relationships revealed by the horizontal analysis prepared in (1).
Answer: The answers have been provided below
Explanation:
a. A comparative income statement with horizontal analysis for the two-year period, while using 20Y1 as the base year have been analysed and attached. In the picture attached, the increase or decrease in the amount was gotten from the year 20Y2 and 20Y1.
For example for sales,
Sales 20Y2 = $16,800,000.00
Sales 20Y1 = $15,000,000.00
Amount = $16,800,000.00 - $15,000,000.00 = $1,800,000
Percentage increase = ($1,800,000 ÷ $15,000,000)× 100 = 12%
The same method was applicable to every other figures.
b. We can see that the sales for year 20y2 rose by 12% even though the net income has a negative value of -5.8%.
We can see that there is also a rise in operating expenses of the firm at a higher rate than the increase in the sales rate of the company. The income from operation also reduced by 7.6%. These are some of the reasons which led to the negative net income.

Retired $400,000 of bonds, on which there was $3,000 of unamortized discount, for $411,000.
Answer:
Find explanations below:
Explanation:
It must be understood that cash flow does not necessarily imply profit or loss.
A company may have been experiencing positive cash flows due selling mostly on a cash basis, whereas the price charged is lower than cost of per unit,hence it would have high amount of cash, whereas the bottom-line is nothing to write home about.
The cash paid on retirement which is $411,000 would impact financing activities as an outflow.
The $3000 unamortized discount would be deducted from net income

Explanation:
The following events occurred for Favata Company: a. Received $13,000 cash from owners and issued stock to them. b. Borrowed $10,000 cash from a bank and signed a note due later this year. c. Bought and received $1,100 of equipment on account. d. Purchased land for $18,000; paid $1,600 in cash and signed a long-term note for $16,400. e. Purchased $6,000 of equipment, paid $1,600 in cash and charged the rest on account. Required: For each of the events (a) through (e), perform transaction analysis and indicate the account, amount, and direction of the effect (+ for increase and - for decrease) on the accounting equation. (Enter any decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)
Answer and Explanation:
The indication of the account, amount and the direction of the effect are as follows
As we know that
Accounting equation is
Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity
Based on this, the indication and the direction aare as follows
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity
A) $13,000 = 0 + $13,000
It increased both the assets and the stockholder equity i.e capital
B) $10,000 = $10,000 + 0
It increased both the assets and the liabilities
C) $1,100 = $1,100 + 0
It increased both the assets and the liabilities
D) +$18,000 -$1,600 = $16,400 + 0
It increased the land by $18,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it increased the liabilities by $16,400
E) +$6,000 -$1,600 = $4,400 + 0
It increased the equipment by $6,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it also increased the liabilities by $4,400
Total $44,900 = $31,900 + $13,000

Fashion Jewelers uses the perpetual inventory system. On April 2, Fashion sold goods with a cost of $5,500 for $14,000 with terms of 4/15, n/30. On April 4, the customer reported damaged goods and Fashion granted a $2,000 sales allowance. On April 10, Fashion received the payment for the sale. Give the journal entry that will be recorded on April 10 by Fashion.
A. Cash 11,520 Accounts Receivable 11,520
B. Cash 12,000 Accounts Receivable 12,000
C. Accounts Receivable 12,000 Sales 12,000
D. Cash 12,000 Sales Discount 480 Accounts Receivable 11,520
Answer: Cash 11,520 Sales Discount 480 Accounts Receivable 12,000
Explanation:
Fashion Jewellers sold goods for $14,000.
Out of this $14,000, damaged goods were returned which caused Fashion Jewellers to reduce the figure by $2,000 by way of a sales allowance.
The figure is now,
= 14,000 - 2,000
= $12,000
This $12,000 is subject to a trade term of 4/15, n30 which means that as long as the amount is paid in 15 days, a 4% discount is applicable. If the balance is not paid in 15 days however, it should be paid in 30 days.
Fashion house received the payment within the discount period so the good is liable to a 4% reduction.
= 12,000 * 4%
= $480
That means that only,
= 12,000 - 480
= $11,520 was paid as balance in cash
The proper entry on April 10 is therefore,
DR Cash $11,520
DR Sales Discount $480
CR Accounts Receivable $12,000
Sales discount is an expense and Expenses are debited when they increase.
The options do not have this answer but it is correct.
Answer:
Cash 11,520 Dr. Sales Discount 480 Dr Accounts Receivable 12,000 Cr
Explanation:
Fashion Jewelers
Perpetual inventory system
Sales $ 14000
Sales Allowance $ 2000
Sales Discounts 4% of $12000 ( 14000- 2000) = $ 480
Net Sales = $ 12000- $ 480= $ 11520
The journal entry that will be recorded on April 10 by Fashion.
Cash $11520 Dr
Sales Discount $ 480 Dr
Accounts Receivable $12000 Cr
Sales discount is an expense account and is debited. Accounts Receivable will be credited with the full amount.
Suppose that Mystic Energy and E-Storm are the only two producers of hydrogen fuel cells. The market inverse demand curve for hydrogen fuel cells is P = 1,300 – 0.08Q, where Q is the number of fuels cells per month and P is the price per fuel cell. The marginal cost is constant at $500. Acting as a cartel, the owners of Mystic Energy and E-Storm agree to evenly split the market output. In this case, each firm produces ____.
Answer:
The amount each firm produces would be 2,500 units per month
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
demand curve for hydrogen fuel cells= P = 1,300 – 0.08Q
marginal cost=$500
Therefore, in order to calculate the amount each firm produces we would have to use the following formula:
MR = MC
This gives 1300 - 0.16Q = 500 or Q = 5000 units
Therefore, The amount Each of them would be producing= 5,000/2 = 2500 amount Each of them would be producing=2,500 units per month
The amount each firm produces would be 2,500 units per month
Cullumber Company is considering buying equipment for $220000 with a useful life of 5 years and an estimated salvage value of $6000. If annual expected income is $28000, the denominator in computing the annual rate of return is $226000. $110000. $113000. $220000.
Answer:
Average investment(denominator) = $113,000
Explanation:
Annual rate of return is the average annual income as a percentage of average investment . It is the proportion of the average investment that is earned, on the average, as annual income.
Annual rate of return = annual net income/ average investment
Average investment =( Initial,cost + scrap value)/2
Average investment = (220,000 + 6,000)/2= $113,000
Average investment(denominator) = $113,000

Gundy Corporation produces area rugs. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $19, direct labor $6, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $6, variable selling and administrative expenses $3, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $7. Using a 35% markup on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price.
Answer:
59.4
Explanation:
Gundy Corporation target selling price
Particular Amount($)
Direct material 19
Direct labor 6
Variable manufacturing overhead 3
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6
Variable selling and administrative expenses 3
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 7
Total cost 44
Add : Profit(35% ×44) 15.4
Target selling price per unit 59.4
(44+15.4)
Answer:
Selling price= $59.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
direct materials $19
direct labor $6
variable manufacturing overhead $3
fixed manufacturing overhead $6
variable selling and administrative expenses $3
fixed selling and administrative expenses $7
Mark-up= 35% on total per-unit cost
First, we need to calculate the total unitary cost:
Total unitary cost= 19 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 7= $44
Now, the selling price:
Selling price= 44*1.35= $59.4
Automobiles are often leased, and there are several terms unique to auto leases. Suppose you are considering leasing a car. The price you and the dealer agree on for the car is $27,600. This is the base capitalized cost. Other costs that may be added to the capitalized cost price include the acquisition (bank) fee, insurance, or extended warranty. Assume these costs are $1,050. Capitalized cost reductions include any down payment, credit for a trade-in, or dealer rebate. Assume you make a down payment of $3,000 and there is no trade-in or rebate. If you drive 12,000 miles per year, the lease-end residual value for this car will be $17,000 after three years.The lease or "money" factor, which is the interest rate on the loan, is the APR of the loan divided by 2,400. The lease factor the dealer quotes you is .00265. The monthly lease payment consists of three parts: A depreciation fee, a finance fee, and sales tax. The depreciation fee is the net capitalization cost minus the residual value, divided by the term of the lease. The net capitalization cost is the cost of the car minus any cost reductions plus any additional costs. The finance fee is the net capitalization cost plus the residual, times the money factor, and the monthly sales tax is the depreciation payment plus the finance fee, times the tax rate.
a. What APR is the dealer quoting you? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is your monthly lease payment for a 36-month lease if the sales tax is 7 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 6.36%
b. $378.02
Explanation:
a. The computation of Annual percentage rate is shown below:-
Annual percentage rate = Lease factor × 2,400
= 0.00265 × 2,400
= 6.36%
b. For computation of monthly lease payment first we need to find out the depreciation charge, finance charge and tax which is shown below:-
Depreciation charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) ÷ Number of lease payment
= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) ÷ 36
= $8,650 ÷ 36
= $240.27
Finance charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) × Lease factor
= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) × 0.00265
= $42,650 × 0.00265
= $113.0225
now,
Tax = (Depreciation charge + Finance charge) × Tax rate
= ($240.27 + $113.0225) × 7%
= $353.2925 × 7%
= $24.73
Monthly Lease payment = Depreciation charge + Finance charge + Tax
= $240.27 + $113.0225 + $24.73
= $378.02
Brian lives in Denver and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000. He also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Brian does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
1. Identify each of Brian's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos:
Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Brian pays the manufacturer
The salary Brian could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wages and utility bills that Brian pays
The rental income Brian could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
2. Complete the following table by determining Brian's accounting and economic profit of his piano business.
Profit $
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
If Brian's goal is to maximize his economic profit, should he stay in the piano business or rather work as an accountant?
Answer:
Explicit cost :
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Brian pays the manufacturer
The wages and utility bills that Brian pays
Implicit cost:
The salary Brian could earn if he worked as an accountant
The rental income Brian could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Accounting profit = $14,000
Economic profit = $-9,000
He should stop selling painos. He should work as an accountant
Explanation:
Explicit cost is total actual cost incurred in running a business.
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of running the piano business. It is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit cost
Total revenue = $704,000
Total explicit cost = $404,000 + $286,000 = $690,000
Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000 = $14,000
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.
Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost
Opportunity cost = $20,000 + $3,000 = $23,000
Economic profit = $14,000 - $23,000 = $-9,000
He should work as an accountant instead since his economic profit is negative. He would earn more working as an accountant than selling pianos

The following is an excerpt from the Sherman Act of 1890: "Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce . . . shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine . . . or by imprisonment . . . or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court."
The Sherman Act of 1890 is an example of which of the following?
a) Antitrust lawsb) Price regulations
Answer:
A. Antitrust Laws
Explanation:
Antitrust laws also known as Competition laws are rules and regulations set forth by the government of the United States to prevent the monopolization of a market as well to promote fair competition by all stakeholders in a market. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 falls into this category.
The Act seeks to prohibit the monopolization of a particular trade or other acts that seek to limit trade. If found guilty by a competent court, a fine up to the tune of $10,000,000 can be imposed on organizations, $350,000 for individuals or even a 3 years time in jail.
The Federal Commissions Act, and The Clayton Act are other examples of Antitrust laws.
At the first meeting, team members appear to have a difference of opinion regarding the direction of the project. Robin and Khalil want to discuss the general goals of the events. Jordan and Adam believe that it's unnecessary to spend time discussing goals and philosophy and want to go straight to discussing team ground rules and making assignments. You're in the unenviable position of being the tie-breaker. Your vote can take the team in one of two directions: ironing out the general goals or establishing team ground rules and assignments. Which direction will you choose
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: to go straight to discussing team ground rules and making assignments.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the case presented the team must understand that the general goals and the philosophy behind their actions and operations at the time of working must been already understood by everyone at that point due to the fact that those things are mentionated before start the action. Therefore that as Jordan and Adam said, it is unnecessary to discuss the things that they already must undersood, if they did their previous homework, and must go straight to the action and gain time instead of lossing it. Moreover, by doing that they will have time enough to even correct mistakes that they make during the process, so that is why to go straight to the action is the correct option to take.

If Local Co. had an increase in selling expenses of $300,000, how would that affect each of its margins?
A. Selling expenses only affect the operating margin, but the increase in such expenses will not affect the other margins.
B. Selling expenses only affect the gross margin, but the increase in such expenses will not affect the other margins.
C. Selling expenses only affect the net profit margin, but the increase in such expenses will not affect the other margins.
D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.
Answer:
D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.
Explanation:
As Selling expenses are charged after gross Income or profit. So, it will not effect the gross income / profit. Other margin are calculated after adjusting the selling expenses, so that will be effected. Operating Margin and Net profit margin are both effected by change in the selling expenses.
Following is the Format of income statement
Sales
Less: Cost of Sales
Gross income / Profit
Less: Operating expenses
Admin Expenses
Selling Expenses
Other Expense
Operating Income / Profit
Less: Interest expense
Less: Tax
Net Income / Profit
When there is an increase in selling expenses, we can expect that D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.
Gross margins are calculated by deducting the cost of production or purchasing from the revenue made by the company and not selling expenses.
Gross margins are therefore not affected by selling expenses but other margins such as net margins incorporate selling expenses and so will be affected by them.
In conclusion, option D is correct.

Wexell Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,230 per month plus $10 per frame. For the month of October, the company planned for activity toward 592 frames, but the actual level of activity was 597 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $7,050. The activity variance for supplies cost in October would be closest to
Answer:
Activity variance= $150 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Fixed costs= $1,230
Variable cost per unit= $10
Actual:
The actual level of activity was 597 frames.
The actual supplies cost for the month was $7,050.
To calculate the activity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Activity variance= actual costs - standard cost*actual activity
Standard costs= 1,230 + 10*597= 7,200
Activity variance= 7,050 - 7,200
Activity variance= $150 favorable
If you followed Taguchi’s principles, and you wanted to investigate a design with 5 factors at 2 levels, how many experiments do you need? How many would you need if you used 5 factors at 2 levels in Classical Statistics with full factorial experiments; half factorial as well as Saturated ? Some of the students can try their own numbers such as 3 factors at 2 levels; 2 factors at 2 levels; 2 factors at 3 levels, 3 factors at 3 levels, etc… I would like each student to have a unique set of factors and levels so I can be sure that everyone understands the Taguchi principles in DoE.
Answer:
Number of full factorial experiments needed as per classical statistics is 5
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
Number of experiments needed as per Taguchi's principles:
No. of factors, F= 5
No. of levels, L = 2
No. of experiments, E = 1 + F*(L-1)
= 1 + 5*(2-1) = 1 + 5*1 = 6
Number of full factorial experiments needed as per classical statistics:
E = L^F
= 2^5
= 32
