2. Identify the type of scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) appropriate for each of the following types of data.

a. Star ratings of hotels

b. Sales revenues of companies

c. Grades of officers in armed forces

d. House numbers in a street

e. Prices of cars

f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights

g. Passport numbers

h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire

i. Index numbers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

A Nominal Scale is a scale where variables are grouped and categorized according to certain characteristics. You cannot perform normal mathematical functions on them such as addition, subtraction and the like.

Ordinal Scales are like nominal scale but in this case the variables can be ranked. You can have a first position and a last position.

An Interval scale is numeric and as such can be ordered. You can also perform mathematical functions on them. Interval scales have no true zero and an example is Temperature. That's why temperature can drop to the negatives.

A Ratio Scale is in many ways like an Interval Scale. The main distinguishing factor is that a Ratio Scale has a true 0. This means that at there is no number before 0 and at 0 level, the variable is considered finished.

Classifying the above therefore,

a. Star ratings of hotels.

ORDINAL because they can be ranked.

b. Sales revenues of companies.

RATIO because there is a true 0. At $0, there is no revenue.

c. Grades of officers in armed forces.

ORDINAL as it can be ranked.

d. House numbers in a street.

NOMINAL as the street numbers don't mean a house is higher ranked than another.

e. Prices of cars.

RATIO as there is a true zero. A car at $0 is free. Price cannot be below $0.

f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights.

ORDINAL as it can be ranked according to treatment in the various classes.

g. Passport numbers.

NOMINAL as the different passport numbers are simply used for identification and cannot rank people.

h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire.

ORDINAL because the variables can be ranked from top to bottom.

i. Index numbers.

ORDINAL if the index can be ranked.

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1

Answers

Answer:

Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 -  $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 -  $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353

Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.

Explanation:

(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.

(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850

At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590

At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.

(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3

At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737

At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 -  $77,737) = $25,910

At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 -  $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.

If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then a. a single firm cannot serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost. b. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. c. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient. d. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C) If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Explanation:

Natural monopoly occurs when there is a hig cost of entry into a particular market niche. The high cost is usually caused by expensive equipment and infrastructural set up for manufacturing as well as maintenance costs.

Therefore, If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Distribution of water falls into the category of natural monopoly. Due to the prevailing circumstances, Fixed cost is larger comparable to variable cost such that it is cheaper for a single firm to serve the market.

LaserLife Printer Company is a decentralized organization with several autonomous divisions. The division managers are evaluated, in part, on the basis of the change in their return on invested assets. Operating results for the Packer Division for 2019 are budgeted as follows:
Sale $5,000,000
Less variable costs 2,500,000
Contribution margin 2,500,000
Less fixed expenses 1,800,000
Net operating income $ 700,000
Invested capital for the division are currently $3,600,000. For 2019, the division can add a new product line for an investment of $600,000. The new product line will generate sales of $1,600,000 and will incur fixed expenses of $600,000 annually. Variable costs of the new product will average 60% of the selling price.
REQUIRED:
1. What is current ROI? Profit margin (or Return on sales)? Investment (or Capital) turnover?
2. What is the effect on ROI of accepting the new product line?
If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, would this encourage the division to accept the new product line? Explain and show computations.

Answers

Answer:

1. The current ROI is 19.44%. The Profit margin (or Return on sales) is 14%. TheInvestment (or Capital) turnover is 1.39 times.

2. The effect on ROI of accepting the new product line is 17.62%.  ROI will be decreased by 1.82%

If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers the residual income amount would be of $4,000 and so Managers should accept the new product line

Explanation:

1. To calculate the profit margin we have to use the following formula:

Profit margin= Net operating income/Sale

Hence, Profit margin = $700,000/$5,000,000 = 14%

ROI= Net operating income/Invested capital

Hence, ROI = $700,000/$3,600,000 = 19.44%

Investment (or Capital) turnover=Sale/Invested capital

Hence, Investment (or Capital) turnover = $5,000,000/$3,600,000 = 1.39 times

2. The Net operating income= ($5,000,000+$1,600,000)-($2,500,000+1,600,000*60%)-$(1,800,000+$600,000) = $740,000

Hence, ROI = $740,000/$4,200,000 = 17.62%

ROI will be decreased by (19.44-17.62) 1.82%.

In order to know if the division would accept the new product line If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, we would have to calculate the residual income as follows:

Residual income = operating income - invesed capital*required rate of return

= ($740,000-$700,000)-$600,000*6%

= $4,000

Therefore, Managers should accept the new product line.

Which statement is false? Marginal cost and marginal productivity are inversely related. Marginal cost is the change in a firm's total cost due to a one unit change in output. Costs that are small and unimportant with little impact on profits are called marginal costs. A marginal cost curve will always intersect the average total cost curve at the minimum average total cost. Consider the table. Output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total cost 100 110 115 125 140 160 190 230 280 340 420 What is the marginal cost of the fifth unit based on the table? $0 −$20 $20 $160

Answers

Answer:

Option (c) Marginal cost of fifth unit = $20

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

1)

Option (b) : Marginal cost is the change in the total cost of firm due to one unit change in output.

We can calculate the marginal cost by using following formula :

Marginal cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity

2)

Marginal cost of fifth unit = Total cost at unit 5 - total cost at unit 4

= $160 - $140

= $20

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.

Answers

Answer:

Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000

Explanation:

Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.

Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.

In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.

Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000

Actual overheads incurred = $84,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

Answers

Answer:

$4,600,000; $3,900,000

Explanation:

Book value of the asset are the recorded costs of the assets included any adjustments like depreciation or amortization. Market value is the fair value and Ne realizable value of the assets.

Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets

Total Assets  = Fixed Assets + (Working capital + Current Liabilities)

Placing Value in above formula

Total Assets = $2,500,000 + ($725,000 + $1,375,000)

Total Assets = $4,600,000

Market Value = Fair value of Fixed assets + Current assets fair value

Market Value = $2,000,000 + $1,900,000 = $3,900,000

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Demand P = 14 - 2Q

Supply P = 2Q - 4

Since Demand = Supply

14 - 2Q = 2Q - 4

Collect the like terms on either side

-2Q - 2Q = -4 - 14

-4Q = -18

Dividing both sides by -4, we will have

Q = -18/-4

Q = 4.50 units

P = 14 - 2Q

P = 14 - 2(4.5)

P = 14 - 9

P = $5.00

Therefore Equilibrium price is $5.00 and Equilibrium unit is 4.50

If the government impose a tax of $1 per unit. If price paid but buyer is P, then price received by seller will be (P - 1)

for demand

P = 14 - 2Q

2Q = 14 - P

Q = 7 - 0.5P

For supply

P = 2Q - 4

Q = 2 + 0.5P

Q = 2+ 0.5(P - 1)

Q = 2 + 0.5P - 0.5

Q = 2-0.5 + 0.5P

Q = 1.5 + 0.5P

if Demand = Supply

7 - 0.5P = 1.5 + 0.5P

Collect the like terms on either sides

-0.5P - 0.5P = 1.5 - 7

-1P = -5.5

Dividing both sides by -1, we will have

P = -5.5/-1

P = $5.50

Q = 1.5 + 0.5P

If we substitute 5.5 for P in the above eqn, we will have

Q = 1.5 + 0.5(5.5)

Q = 1.5 + 2.75

Q = 4.25 units

Answers

Answer:

($26,280)

This represents net cash used up by investing activities

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow and vice versa.

Hence net cash provided by investing activities

= $4380 - $30660

= ($26,280)

Other activities are operating and financing activities.

Answers

Answer:

The labor force is the group of individuals for employment. The labor force investment rate is the proportion of labor force partitioned by all out populace of the applicable age. As per month to month work survey, the labor force support rate keeps on falling. As indicated by different market analysts, this wonder is because of the blend of segment, basic, and repetitive elements. Also, due to LFPR , the support of youth and the primary age bunch is required to decay. Likewise, the investment paces of laborers of more seasoned age are additionally anticipated to increment, yet remain essentially lower than those of the prime age group. These aspects have applied descending weight on the general labor force support proportion over the 2012–2022 time period and the proportion is relied upon to decrease further, to 61.6% in 2022.  

The drawn out issue of joblessness is because of repetitive and auxiliary reasons, when numerous individuals the segment organization of a nation mirrors the portions of men, ladies, and the distinctive age, race, and ethnic gatherings inside that populace. The case of the time of increased birth rates age in segment change influences the labor force investment rate. Consistently after 2000, the portion of the time of increased birth rates populace has moved into the 55-years-and-more seasoned age bunch which transfers from the principal age gathering to one with considerable lesser investment proportions, origins the general cooperation of the labor force to decay.

Alden Trucking Company is replacing part of their fleet of trucks by purchasing them under a note agreement with Kenworthy on January 1, 2009. The note agreement will require $10 million in annual payments starting on December 31, 2009 and continuing for a total of five years (final payment December 31, 2013). Kenworthy will charge Alden Trucking Company the market interest rate of 10% compounded annually.
Required:
1. How much will Alden record as a debit to their equipment account and as acredit to their notes payable account on January 1, 2009?
2. How much ofthe first $10 million payment on December 31, 2009 isinterest?
3. What is theremaining obligation on January 1, 2010 after the first payment hasbeen made?

Answers

Answer:

1. $37,907,868

2. $3,790,787

3. $31,698,654

Explanation:

The cost of the  trucks according to IAS 16, is the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition.

Thus=, we need to find the Fair Value or Present Value of the Note as Follows:

Pmt = $10,000,000

P/yr = 1

i = 10%

N = 5

Pv = ?

Pv = 37,907,868

Therefore Alden will record $37,907,868 as a debit to their equipment account and as a credit to their notes payable

Interest on First Payment =  $37,907,868×10%

                                          = $3,790,787

Remaining Obligation = $37,907,868 - $6,209,213 (Capital Portion) - $3,790,787 (Interest Portion)

                                     = $31,698,654

Medallion Cooling​ Systems, Inc., has total assets of $9,800,000​, EBIT of $2,050,000​, and preferred dividends of $201,000 and is taxed at a rate of 40%. In an effort to determine the optimal capital​ structure, the firm has assembled data on the cost of​ debt, the number of shares of common stock for various levels of​ indebtedness, and the overall required return on​ investment:

Capital structure/debt Cost of​ debt Number of stock shares Rate of​ return
0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2

Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.

Answers

Answer:

Earnings per share:

0% debt = $5.145 per share

15% debt = $5.487 per share

30% debt = $6.203 per share

45% debt =  $6.386 per share

60% debt = $6.570 per share

Explanation:

The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.

Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends

Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding

To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.

Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax

Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure

Tax = EBT * tax rate

a. 0% debt

Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000

Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000   =  $5.145 per share

b. 15% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000

EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078)  =  $1935340

Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204

Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000   =  $5.487 per share

c. 30% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000

EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091)   =  $1782460

Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476

Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000   =  $6.203 per share

d. 45% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000

EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121)   =  $1516390

Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834

Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000   =  $6.386 per share

e. 60% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000

EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152)  =  $1156240

Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744

Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000   =  $6.570 per share

Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing land (basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $120,000). John received a 60% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing $180,000 of cash. Three years after the contribution date, the land contributed by Brooke is sold by the partnership to a third party for $150,000. What gain must Brooke recognize on the land contribution when establishing the partnership

Answers

Answer:

$102,000

Explanation:

According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :

Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )

Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.

So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.

Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a.What is the pre-tax cost of debt?This question is basically asking for the bond’s current yield to maturity, which is the pre-tax cost of long term debt in the capital markets for this company today.Price = 1.08 * 1000 = 1080+/- PV23 * 2 = 46 N.10 * 1000 = 100 / 2 = 50 PMT1000 FVSolve for i/y = 4.5801 is the semi-annual yield to maturity * 2 = 9.1601% annual YTM

b.What is the after-tax cost of debt?9.1601 * (1 - .35) = 5.9541 after tax cost of debt.This is the true cost of debt to the company because the company gets a tax deduction (a tax shield!) for paying interest on its debt.

The general fund of the Town of Dean levied property taxes of $3,000,000 for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 20X8. It was estimated that 1% of the levy would be uncollectible. During the period January 1, 20X8, through December 31, 20X8, $2,960,000 of the property tax levy was collected. At December 31, 20X8, Dean estimated that $10,000 of property taxes levied in 20X8 would be collected during the first 60 days of 20X9. What amount of property tax revenue should be reported by the general fund for the year ended December 31, 20X8?

Answers

Answer: $2,970,000

Explanation:

According to US tax laws, property taxes can be recognised for 60 days into the next financial period because it is assumed that within this period, the taxes can still cover expenses related to the period that it is from.

Therefore, if Property taxes are paid within the first 60 days in 20X9 then the Town of Dean should recognise those taxes paid.

Those taxes amount to $10,000 so therefore, the amount to be reported in the fund is,

= 2,960,000 + 10,000

= $2,970,000

$2,970,000 is amount of property tax revenue that should be reported by the general fund for the year ended December 31, 20X8.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question can be described as follows:

Explanation:

In the given statement some information is missing that is choices so, the correct choice can be described as follows:

The most important source of electricity is nuclear energy. It will boost demand for the nuclear energy century of electric power. The demand curve also is moving to the right.  At the very same time, it increases in power generation rates would also increase the cost of  energy generation via nuclear power plant. This will lead to a shift to the left. The nuclear demand curve will change to just the right and the nuclear power source will switch to the left. It will lead to an increase in the balance cost value with an uncertain shift in the balance quantities.
