Answer: 126.3 days.
Explanation:
The Operating Cycle essentially refers to how long it takes a business to convert inventory to cash. The entire period between production, to selling to recovering money from Receivables is incorporated here.
The formula therefore is,
= Days Sales in inventory + Days Sales Receivables
= 84.6 + 41.7
= 126. 3 days
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.
Why do more than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
1. Underfinancing: One main reason that cause budget overrun and less than expected benefits is underfinancing. Allocation of an adequate amount of budget to project at the beginning will lead to a budget overrun or failure.
2. Unfeasible Cost Estimates: Estimation of cost is a vital process in a project and another common reason for budget overrun. When the cost is calculated by inexperienced or unqualified personnel, the project is going to face budget overruns.
3. Underestimating the Project Complexity: Big projects are usually at the risk of overrunning its budget as a result of bigger complications that may arise during its execution.
4. Lack of Resource Planning: When one fails to plan the resources that are available effectively, then this would lead to a budget overrun and less benefits. A common mistakes that cause overrun is failure to estimate the resources which would be utilized during the project.
Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $ 1 comma 476 comma 000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%

Stone Company changed its method of pricing inventories from FIFO to LIFO. What type of accounting change does this represent? A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.
Answer:
A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.
Explanation:
Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change is insignificant (materiality principle).
Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.

$9,838.56
Explanation:
The bond interest expense is the actual finance cost of using the funds made available by bondholders while the coupon payment is the portion of the finance cost paid to them periodically.
Interest expense=bonds cash proceeds*yield to maturity*6/12
bonds cash proceeds is $163,976
yield to maturity is 12%
interest expense=$163,976*12%*6/12=$9,838.56
Answer:
$9,838.56
Explanation:
Interest Expense using effective interest rate method can determined by multiplying the carrying value of the bond and yield rate of the bond because the bonds issued on the discount has different interest expense than the interest payment made to bond holder.
As the interest is paid semiannually the interest expense will be calculated for only 6 months.
Interest expense=Cash proceeds on issuance of bond x YTM x 6/12
As per given data
Cash proceeds are $163,976
YTM is 12%
Interest expense=$163,976 x 12% x 6/12=$9,838.56
Check all true statements regarding CMBS:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS
c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans
d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Answer: A and D only
Explanation:
CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.
Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal
Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.
Answer:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Explanation:
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.
a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.
d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

As of December 31, 2019, Sheridan Company had $3500 of raw materials inventory. At the beginning of 2019, there was $3000 of materials on hand. During the year, the company purchased $315000 of materials; however, it paid for only $252500. How much inventory was requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019
Answer: $314,500
Explanation:
When calculating how much of a material of any sort was used, the following formula should be used,
= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
This is the same formula largely used to calculate Cost of Goods sold.
Here, the figure to be concerned about is the actual materials used not the ones paid for.
Plugging in figures into the formula then,
= 3,000 + 315,000 - 3,500
= $314,500
Thus $314,500 was the inventory requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019.
A division is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will cost $2,950,000 and have a cash flow of $740,000 per year for each of the four years of its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. Ignore taxes. Required: a. & b. What is the ROI for each year of the asset's life if the division uses beginning-of-year asset balances and net book value for the computation? What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-
Year Investment base ROI Residual income
1 $2,950,000 8% -$233,500
2 $2,212,500 11% -$233,500
3 $1,475,000 17% -$115,500
4 $737,500 34% -$56,500
ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100
Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation
Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)
Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years
The return on investment and the residual income can be find out by using the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it in the attachment

Oklahoma enacts a law requiring all businesses in the state to donate 10 percent of their profits to Protestant churches that provide services to indigent persons. Price-Lo Mart files a law suit to block the enforcement of the law. The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.
Answer: d. the Establishment clause.
Explanation:
The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.
Answer:
The establishment clause.
Explanation:
Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.
As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.
Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.
Select a publicly traded firm of your choice that enjoys a large shareholder base. What challenges may this firm have encountered (or is likely to encounter) in terms of (a) incorporating ethics into financial management practices, and (b) maintaining/sustaining ethical practices in the face of internal or external (market) pressures? Frame your response relative to the financial manager's fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder's wealth.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The publicly traded firm of my choice is Amazon.
a. Amazon would in its initial phase have encountered challenges as a result of the inculcating of financial management practises. At the beginning, the founders and the employees may not be willing to disclose all the profits on their books of accounts.
Also, the use of debt might not be taken as a healthy sign at the beginning. The preparation of statement of position might not be taken seriously and the internal control mechanisms will have been challenging to put up and also keep accountability.
b. It would have been really difficult for managers to sustain best practises during pressures. Also, stakeholders due to their personal goals might not allow finance manager to independently work. The pressure to exhibit certain level of sales or profit may also be there.
Furthermore, the lagging or leading of expenses might be done to show
lesser or higher profit. A materially price sensitive information might not be disclosed or reported. Finally, the extent of any loss might also not be reported as a result of internal pressures.

Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.
In conducting the audit procedures for the search for unrecorded liabilities, the materiality/scope for this area was accessed by the auditors at $5,000. Adjustments are only recorded for individual items equal to or exceeding materiality. The company fiscal year end is December 31, 2019 and the last day of fieldwork is estimated to be February 1, 2020. Below is an item from the check/cash disbursement register, which is not recorded in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger at December 31, 2019.

This transaction requires an accounting adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019 - If you believe that statement is correct - answer "Yes" This transaction does NOT require an accounting adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019 - If you believe that statement is correct - answer "No."
Answer:
"No."
This transaction does NOT require an accounting adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019 - If you believe that statement is correct - answer "No."
Explanation:
The check disbursement does not require an adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019, because the check is dated 1/6/2020.
Adjusting entries are changes to the journal entries which tries to match transactions to their correct accounting periods. A check dated January 6, 2020 does not belong to the fiscal year ending December, 2019.
Adjusting entries are usually for Accrued Revenue, Accrued Expenses, Deferred Revenue, Prepaid Expenses, and Depreciation Expenses.

The distributor has offered the bakery the following volume discount schedule: Order Size Discount rate on the original price 1--449 0 percent 450--799 5 percent more than 800 10 percent We are trying to find how many bags of sugar should the store order, whenever they place a new order of sugar.Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. IMPORTANT: Note, the discounts off of original price are reported. You need to calculate the actual prices. Keep two decimal places in your calculations.If we ignore the discounts, how many bags of sugar should we order

The reported net incomes for the first 2 years of Sandra Gustafson Products, Inc., were as follows: 2014, $147,000; 2015, $185,000. Early in 2016, the following errors were discovered.
1. Depreciation of equipment for 2014 was overstated $17,000.
2. Depreciation of equipment for 2015 was understated $38,500.
3. December 31, 2014, inventory was understated $50,000.
4. December 31, 2015, inventory was overstated $16,200.
Prepare the correcting entry necessary when these errors are discovered. Assume that the books are closed. (Ignore income tax considerations.)
Answer:
Debit 2016 Beginning retained earning for $37,700;
Credit Accumulated depreciation for $21,500, and
Credit Inventory for $16,200.
Explanation:
The entries will affect the 2016 beginning Retained earning except for the December 31, 2014 inventory which was understated by $50,000 which was a self correcting error at the end of 2015.
Accumulated depreciation = Understatement of 2015 depreciation - Overstatement of 2014 depreciation = $38,500 - 17,000 = $21,500
The entries will affect the 2016 beginning retained earning as follows:

Fultz Company has accumulated the following budget data for the year 2020.
1. Sales: 31,410 units, unit selling price $85.
2. Cost of one unit of finished goods: direct materials 1 pound at $6 per pound, direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour, and manufacturing overhead $7 per direct labor hour.
3. Inventories (raw materials only): beginning, 10,120 pounds; ending, 15,480 pounds.
4. Selling and administrative expenses: $170,000; interest expense: $30,000.
5. Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.
Prepare a schedule showing the computation of cost of goods sold for 2020.
Answer:
COST OF Goods SOLD $ 1,1539,110
Explanation:
Fultz Company
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for 2020
As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods required 31410 Units)
Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds
Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds
Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds
Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds
Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6* 31410 Units= $ 188460
Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36* 31410 Units= $ 1130780
Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7* 31410 Units=
$ 219870
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 1,1539,110
There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.
Grape Inc. uses the percentage of credit sales method of estimating doubtful accounts. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has an unadjusted credit balance of $3,500 and the company had $180,000 of net credit sales during the period. Grape has experienced bad debt losses of 4% of credit sales in prior periods. After making the adjusting entry for estimated bad debts, what is the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts accou
Answer:
$9,700
Explanation:
The calculation of ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account is shown below:-
Ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account = Net credit sales × Credit sales percentage + Credit balance
= $180,000 × 4% + $2,500
= $7,200 + $2,500
= $9,700
So, for computing the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account we simply applied the above formula.
The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money
The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.
Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a beignet is $6.00.
In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is _________
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage (increases/decreases/remains the same) and the real value of her wage ____________
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ________ nominal variables and ______ real variables.
Answer:
1. Relative price = $3
2. Increases
3. affects , not affect
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1) The relative price of a paperback novel in 2016 = Maria,s wage ÷ Price of a paperback novel
= $54÷$18
= $3
2) Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value increases and the real value of Maria's wage remains the same.
3)Monetary neutrality is proposition that the change in the money supply affects the nominal variables but it does not affect the real variables.
A company sells goods to a customer who will pay the full amount in 30 days.How should the company record the sale
Answer:
Credit sales
Debit receivables
