Explanation:
Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 20X3. During 20X3, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specific construction debt, and $20,000 on other borrowings. Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 was $40,000. What amount of interest cost should Cole capitalize
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
When capitalizing Interest for a PPE, accounting procedure is that one looks at the actual interests incurred vs the interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the PPE and then pick the lower of the two for capitalization.
The actual interest incurred is;
= 50,000 + 20,000
= $70,000
The Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 = $40,000. This is the lower one and so will be the amount capitalized.
Coronado Industries is planning to sell 900 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 470 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a 0.25 hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $22 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Coronado has 4700 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 3900 pounds in ending inventory. What is the total amount to be budgeted in pounds for direct materials to be purchased for the month
Answer:
Total pounds= 19,880
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 470 boxes
Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix
Beginning inventory= 4,700 pounds
Desired ending inventory= 3,900 pounds
To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Direct material budget (in pounds):
Production= 470*44= 20,680
Desired ending inventory= 3,900
Beginning inventory= (4,700)
Total pounds= 19,880

Assume that the current ratio for Arch Company is 2.5, its acid-test ratio is 2.0, and its working capital is $390,000. Answer each of the following questions independently, always referring to the original information. Required: a. How much does the firm have in current liabilities? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Current liabilities = 260,000
Explanation:
Given:
Current ratio = 2.5
Working capital = $390,000
Find:
Current liabilities
Computation:
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$390,000 = Current assets - Current liabilities
Current assets = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 = [Current liabilities + $390,000] / Current liabilities
2.5 Current liabilities = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current liabilities = 260,000

An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Question options :
A. increases; falls
B. decreases; falls
C. does not change; does not change
D. increases; rises
Answer:
B. decreases; falls
Explanation:
let us understand this by looking at the logic behind it. First when the economy is at full employment, there is high demand since there will be increase in money supply through increased circulation from salaries and wages. If government increases taxes, this will reduce purchasing power as money supply will be reduced and therefore demand will be reduced. Also price will fall since according to the Law of demand and supply, if demand is more than supply, price will increase
Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2018:
Allister Barone
Inventory $530,000 $330,000
Sales 1,060,000 860,000
Investment income not given
Cost of goods sold 530,000 430,000
Operating expenses 245,000 315,000
Allister acquired 70 percent of Barone in January 2017. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $70,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a 4-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2018, Barone sells inventory costing $126,000 to Allister for $172,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end. Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2018:
Amounts
Inventory
Sales
Cost of goods sold
Operating expenses
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of inventory, sales, cost of goods sold, Operating expenses and Net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following calculations
Unrealized profit on inventory = ($172,000 - $126,000) × 10%
= $4,600
Customer list amortization = $70,000 ÷ 4
= $17,500
Inventory = $530,000 + $330,000 - $4,600
= $855,400
Sales = $1,060,000 + $860,000 - $172,000
= $1,748,000
Cost of goods sold = $530,000 + $430,000 + $4,600 - $172,000
= $792,600
Operating expenses = $245,000 + $315,000 + $17,500
= $577,500
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest = 10% × ($860,000 - $430,000 - $315,000 - $4,600 - $17,500)
= 10% × $92,900
= $9,290

An investment adviser representative (IAR) asks a customer for a loan of $5,000. The customer agrees, and both the customer and the IAR document the loan by signing a written agreement. Under the provisions of the Uniform Securities Act, the IAR:
Answer:
D. Has not committed an unethical act since the loan was documented in writing.
Explanation:
Section 102 of the Uniform Securities Act of 1956 specifies that it is unlawful and unethical for an investment adviser representative to enter into a contract with a client except it is provided in writing that he does not stand to gain any financial profit, that no assignment of the contract would be made without the consent of the other party, and that if there is any change in the membership of the contract, the other party would be notified.
So, if the contract was documented between the investment adviser and the client, then it would not be unethical conduct.
Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.
What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115
Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods
PV of interest =
115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89
Step 3:Price of the bond
Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
The stock in Bowie Enterprises has a beta of .87. The expected return on the market is 11.70 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock
Answer:
10.55%
Explanation:
The stock in Bowie's enterprise has a beta of 0.87
The expected return on the market is 11.70%
The risk free rate is 2.89%
Therefore, the required return on the company stock can be calculated as follows
= 2.89%+0.87(11.70%-2.89%)
= 2.89%+10.179%-2.5143%
= 2.89%+7.6647%
= 10.55%
Hence the required return on the company's stock is 10.55%

Conner Manufacturing has two major divisions. Management wants to compare their relative performance. Information related to the two divisions is as follows:
Division 1:
Sales: $200,000
Expenses: $150,000
Asset investment: $950,000
Division 2:
Sales: $45,000
Expenses: $35,000
Asset investment: $200,000
Based on ROI, which division is more profitable?
a. Division 1
b. Both divisions have the same ROI ratio
c. Division 2
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Division 1 (a.)
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) is a financial ratio used to calculate the benefit earned on an investment cost.
Mathematically, it is represented as:
[tex]ROI = \frac{Net\ Income}{original\ cost\ of\ investment} \times 100[/tex]
where:
Net income = Sales - expenses
Original cost of investment = asset invested
Now let us calculate the ROI for each division:
Division 1 :
Net income = Sales - Expenses = 200,000 - 150,000 = $50,000
Asset investment = $950,000
[tex]ROI = \frac{50,000}{950,000} \times 100\ \\\\ROI = 5.26\%[/tex]
Division 2:
Net income = 45,000 - 35,000 = $10,000
Asset investment = $200,000
[tex]ROI = \frac{10,000}{200,000} \times 100\\\\= ROI = 0.05\ \times\ 100\ = 5\%[/tex]
Therefore, based on the ROI for both divisions, Division 1 has a greater ROI (5.26%) than Division 2 (5%) hence, Division 1 is more profitable.

Baldwin has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Buzz. Labor costs will go from $2.10 to $2.60 per unit. In addition, their material costs have fallen from $6.82 to $5.82. Assume all period costs as reported on Baldwin's Income Statement remain the same. If Baldwin were to pass on half the new costs of labor and half the savings in materials to customers by adjusting the price of their product, how many units of product Buzz would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
433 units
Explanation:
Information related to production costs are missing, so I looked for it. I found the following:
current sales price = $17
current fixed costs = $7,242
new labor costs per unit = $2.60, which results in a $0.50 increase
new direct materials cost per unit = $5.82, which results in a $1 decrease
total variable costs per unit = $8.42
Baldwin plans to pass 50% of the changes in costs to its customers:
Increase $0.25 due to higher labor costsdecrease $0.50 due to lower materials costsnet change = -$0.25new sales price = $17 - $0.25 = $16.75
contribution margin per unit = $16.75 - $8.42 = $8.33
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit = $7,242 / $16.75 = 432.36 = 433 units
It will cost $3,000 to acquire a small ice cream cart. Cart sales are expected to be $1,400 a year for three years. After the three years, the cart is expected to be worthless as that is the expected remaining life of the cooling system. What is the payback period of the ice cream cart?
Answer:
2.14 years
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flows = $3,000 / $1,400 = 2.14 years
The Silverside Company is considering investing in two alternative projects: Project 1 Project 2 Investment $400,000 $280,000 Useful life (years) 5 5 Estimated annual net cash inflows for useful life $90,000 $65,000 Residual value $25,000 $12,000 Depreciation method Straight−line Straight−line Required rate of return 10% 6% What is the payback period for Project 1?
Answer:
The Silverside Company
Project 1's Payback Period
= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $90,000
= 4.44 years.
Explanation:
Project 1:
Initial Investment = $400,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000
The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1. This is the simple payback period calculation. There is also the discounted payback period calculation. This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out. This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.

Answer:
It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.
Explanation:
It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.
So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

Refer to the balance sheet above. If in 2006 Luther has 10.2 million shares outstanding and these shares are trading at $16 per share, then what is Luther's enterprise value?
A. -$540.0 million.
B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.
Answer:
C. $385.7m
Explanation:
Enterprise value = Market value of equity + Market value of all types of debt - Cash in the balance sheet
Market value of equity = Current share price × number of shares outstanding
= $16 × 10.2 million shares
= $163,200,000
Market value of all types of shares = Market value of long term debt + Market value of current portion of long term debt + notes payable / short term debt
We assume that market value of debts = Book value of debts
Therefore,
Market value of debt = $227m + $40.7m + $10.9m
= $278.6 m
Cash in the balance sheet = $56.10 m
Therefore;
Enterprise value = $163.20m + $278.60 - $56.1
=$385.7 m

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
3 pounds of direct materials at $5 per pound.
10,000 units of product were produced last month and 31,250 pounds of direct materials were used.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (3*10,000 - 31,250)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $6,250 unfavorable
You purchased 500 shares of Barden Enterprises stock for $55.43 per share at the beginning of the year. The stock is currently priced at $57.48 per share. What is your dividend yield if you received total dividends of $835 over the year?
Answer:
Dividend yield is 2.91 %.
Explanation:
Dividend yield = Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price per Share × 100
where,
Annual Dividend per Share = Total Dividends ÷ Total Number of Shares
= $835 ÷ 500
= $1.67
then,
Dividend yield = $1.67 / $57.48 × 100
= 2.905 or 2.91 %
