Answer:
A firm's ownership of vertically related activities
Explanation:
As we know that
There are two types of integration i.e horizontal and vertical
The horizontal integration is the integration in which two or more firms amalgamate dealing in the same type of business i.e their products and the level of production is same
While on the other hand the vertical integration is the integration in which the one firm acquired or purchased another firm dealing in different stages but the production level remains the same
Hence, the first option is correct
Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 9 percent on her investments. When should she pay the $20,000 bill this year or next?
Answer: She should pay in December
Explanation:
Assuming she pays in December, she can claim a 37% tax saving as it is an Expense and she will therefore pay the following Net of Tax,
= $20,000 * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 20,000 * ( 1 - 0.37)
= 20,000 * 0.63
= $12,600
Her total bill in December would be $12,600.
If she pays in January however then she would have lost 9% on the tax saving. Accounting for this would be,
The tax saving is
= $20,000 * 0.37
= $7,400
Discounting it to present day will be,
= 7,400 / (1 + r)
= 7,400 / 1 .09
= $6,788.99
Meaning that the amount she will effectively pay in January is,
= $20,000 - 6,788.99
= $13,211.01
Paying in December therefore saves her more.

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%

Fund to Retire Bonds At the beginning of 2019, Shanklin Company issued 10-year bonds with a face value of $1,000,000 due on December 31, 2028. Shanklin wants to accumulate a fund to retire these bonds at maturity by making annual deposits beginning on December 31, 2019. Required: How much must Shanklin deposit each year, assuming that the fund will earn 12% interest a year compounded annually
Answer:
$56,984
Explanation:
We can find the Annuity value by using the annuity formula which is as under:
Future Value = Annuity Value * Annuity Factor
Here
Future Value given is $1,000,000
Annuity Factor at 12% for 10 year bond = [1 - (1 + 12%)^10] / 12% = 17.548735
By putting values in the formula given above, we have:
$1,000,000 / 17.548735 = Annuity Value
Annuity Value = $56,984

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
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

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

Country A is a main producer of agricultural goods. In the past three years, farmers in country A have seen their sales drop because consumers have begun to buy cheaper imported produce from country B. Not wanting the income of its farmers to drop, the government of country A imposes a tax on all agricultural imports from country B so that those goods are more expensive, and therefore less attractive, to consumers. The farmers in country A see their incomes begin to rise. Two months later, country B retaliates by levying a tax on all imports from country A. Because the manufacturing firms in country A lose business from the country they export to the most, they are forced to close.
What impact did the tariff that country A imposed on country B have?
Answer:
It created a trade barrier
Explanation:
trade barrier are government policies that restrict internatinoal trade.
The policy of country A on goods imported from country B created a barrier that affected country A's industries.
Answer:
Country B imposed a tariff on country A’s goods to retaliate for country A’s tariffs. So, while incomes increased for farmers in country A, the country’s manufacturers lost a substantial amount of export business. The manufacturers closed, and their employees lost their jobs. Ultimately, country A’s regulations had an unfavorable effect on the country’s own economy. Additionally, the tariff may have harmed country A’s reputation as a trade partner and affected its future trade prospects.

A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses is given by R(x)=14,000ln(0.01x+1). Use the differential to approximate the change in revenue fro the sale of one more doghouse if 110 doghouses have already been sold.
Answer: The change in revenue for the sale of 1 more doghouse $ 66.67 dollars
Explanation: Differential is a function that can be used to approximate function value with a great degree of accuracy. This is done by the following.
Mathematical definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim f(x+Δx) - f(x)/Δx.
If Δx is very small:
f'(x) . Δx ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x)
Knowing that Δy ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x) and the diferential of variable x can be written by dx as the variable y can be dy:
dy = f'(x) dx
which means that the differential dy is approximately equal to the change Δy, if Δx is very small.
For the question, R(x) = y(x) = 14,000ln(0.01x+1)
f'(x) = [tex]\frac{d[14,000.ln(0.01x+1)]}{dx}[/tex]
Using the chain rule, the derivative will be:
f'(x) = 14,000.[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}[/tex]
dy = 14,000.[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}[/tex].dx
dx is the change in x. For the question, the change is 1 (1 more doghouse) and x is 110:
dy = 14,000[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01.110+1}.1[/tex]
dy = [tex]\frac{140}{2.1}[/tex]
dy = 66.67
The change in revenue is $66.67 dollars.

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

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

Therefore, After the adjustments stockholders’ equity on 7/31 will be $20,184.
A stock’s price fluctuations are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $29.51 and a standard deviation of $3.87. You decide to sell whenever the price reaches its highest 10% of values. What is the highest value you would still hold the stock?
Answer:
$34.46
Explanation:
In this Question there is Highest value of 10% and the probability of 90%.
we will use following formula to calculate the highest value of the stock
z value = ( x - mean ) / Standard deviation
where
x = the highest value
z score value at 10% = 1.28
Placing value in the formula
1.28 = ( x - $29.51 ) / $3.87
1.28 x $3.87 = x - $29.51
$4.9536 = x - $29.51
x = $4.9536 + $29.51
x = 34.4636

Yes, because with the existence of the new information, there would be changes in attractiveness of the stock. If there are no changes in other stock prices, it, would change the expected return on this stock. If expected return was to go up, then investors would be interested in this stock, implying they would not be holding the market portfolio.
New information regarding stock attracts investors, leading to shift in portfolio of investor. With greater demand for the particular stock, revenues/prices of other stock declines. This is because, investor becomes more attracted to buying that particular stock and other stocks are sold off in the market.
In developing a marketing plan, the section on goals and objectives defines the parameters by which the firm will measure actual performance. In this respect, the goals and objectives section is tied closely to the __________ section of the marketing plan.
Answer:
Evaluation and control
Explanation:
The goals and objectives section shows the things that the company wants to accomplish. As the statement indicates that the section on goals and objectives defines the parameters by which the firm will measure actual performance, we can infer that this refers to the evaluation and control section because this part of the marketing plan includes the measurements that will help you evaluate if the objectives can be accomplished, the performance standards to which the indicators are compared and the actions to take if the goals are not achieved. According to this, the answer is that in this respect, the goals and objectives section is tied closely to the evaluation and control section of the marketing plan.
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.
I hope my answer helps you
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
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

Explanation:
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
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.)
Case Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Fixed Costs Depreciation
1 $ 2,800 $ 2,295 $ 7,000,000 $ 1,250,000
2 51 43 65,000 160,000
3 12 4 1,800 700
Case Accounting break-even Cash break-even

3
Answer:
Accounting break-even
Case
1 11,386.13 units
2 = 28125 units
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
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
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%
