Answer:
More than in year 8
Explanation:
A capital lease is a type of lease in which the lesser financed only the asset and all other ownership rights would be transferred to the lessee
In the given situation, the 12-year capital lease is equivalent to the annual lease payment at minimum cost
This payment involves the interest and the reduction amount
Now in the year 10 the reduction made to the lease liability should be more than in the year 8
IBM just paid a dividend of and expects these dividends to grow at % a year. The price of IBM is per share. What is IBM's cost of equity capital?
Question
The question is incomplete. The complete version is given below:
IBM just paid a dividend of $3.5 and expects these dividends to grow at 7% a year. The price of IBM is $100 per share. What is? IBM's cost of equity? capital?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Explanation:
Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The dividend valuation model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is the cost of equity.
The cost is the minimum rate of return that ordinary shareholders are willing to accept considering the opportunity cost of their capital
Cost of equity (Ke) =( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g
DATA
Ke- ?
D0- 3.5
P-100
g-7%
Ke= 3.5×(1.07)/100 + 0.07 = 0.10745
Ke- 0.10745 × 100 = 10.7%
Cost of equity = 10.7%

The annual report for Malibu Beachwear reported the following transactions affecting stockholders’ equity:a. Purchased $350,100 of common stock now held in treasury.b. Declared cash dividends in the amount of $260,050.c. Paid the dividends in (b).d. Issued 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value common shares for $2 per share.e. Closed the Dividends account.Required:Indicate the effect (+ for increase, − for decrease, +/− for increase/decrease) of each of these transactions on total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.
Answer:
Malibu Beachwear
Indication of the effect (+ for increase, − for decrease, +/− for increase/decrease) of each of these transactions on total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity:
a. Purchased $350,100 of common stock now held in treasury.
Assets (-$350,100) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (-$350,100)
b. Declared cash dividends in the amount of $260,050.
Assets = Liabilities (+$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity (-$260,050)
c. Paid the dividends in (b).
Assets (-$260,050) = Liabilities (-$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity
d. Issued 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value common shares for $2 per share.
Assets (+$202,000) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (+$202,000)
e. Closed the Dividends account.
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity
Explanation:
a. The purchase of common stock held in treasury implies that Malibu Beachwear bought its own shares from investors and paid cash. The recording of the transaction involves a reduction in Cash (Assets) and Shareholders' Equity with the creation of Treasury Stock Account. The treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account and the balance is deducted from the Shareholders' Equity in the balance sheet.
b. By declaring cash dividends, Malibu Beachwear is returning to its stockholders part of the assets that belong to them. This transaction reduces the Shareholders' Equity (Retained Earnings) and increases the liabilities with Dividends Payable in the sum of $260,050 respectively.
c. The payment of the cash dividend by Malibu reduces the Assets (Cash) and the Liabilities (Dividends Payable) in the sum of $260,050.
d. The issue of 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value for $2 per share by Malibu Beachwear increases its Assets (Cash) with the sum of $202,000 (101,000 x $2) and the Shareholders' Equity (Common Stock with $10,100 and Additional Paid-in Capital- Common Stock with $191,900).
e. Closing the dividends account does not affect the accounting equation. Instead, it affects the Income Summary (Statement of Retained Earnings) to which the account is closed.
f. The accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity is an important feature of the double-entry system of bookkeeping and financial accounting. The equation implies that every transaction affects the two sides of the equation since two or more accounts are involved. Where it does not affect the two sides, it implies that one side is affected twice or more. This equation keeps the assets and liabilities + equity sides in balance at all times. It also implies that Malibu Beachwear for every transaction, will have the assets equal the liabilities or equity.

JWU Company has been growing at a rate of 5% for the past two years and is expected to continue for several years. The company paid a Dividend of $2.00 last year. If your required rate of return is 13%, what is the current value of this company’s stock?
A. $26.25
B. $15.38
C. $40.00
D. $29.50
Answer: A. $26.25
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth model, the value of the stock can be determined using the available variables.
The formula is;
Value of a Stock = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth Rate)
Value of a Stock = Current Dividend (1 + Growth Rate) / (Required Return - Growth Rate)
= 2 ( 1 + 0.05) / ( 0.13 - 0.05)
= (2 * 1.05) / 0.08

A firm has a debt-to-equity ratio of .5 and a market-to-book ratio of 2. What is the ratio of the book value of debt to the market value of equity
Answer: 0.25
Explanation:
The The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated when the total liabilities of w company is divided a by the shareholder equity while the book-to-market ratio is used to know a company's value by comparing the book value of the company to its market value.
Since the firm has a debt-to-equity ratio of .5 and a market-to-book ratio of 2. The ratio of the book value of debt to the market value of equity will be:
= 0.5/2
= 0.25
If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement_____________ monetary policy with a focus.
a. Short-term
b. Long-term
c. Contractionary
d. Expansionary
Answer: Expansionary; Short-term
Explanation:
If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement an expansionary monetary policy with a short-term focus.
Expansionary monetary policy has the effect of putting more money into the economy. As there is now more money in the economy, the expectation is that there will be more consumption spending as well as investment. More consumption because people have more money and more investment because interest rates reduce when there is an increased money supply. As there is now more investment as well as the need to satiate the increased demand, more companies can expand and employ people thereby reducing unemployment.
This should however be done with a short term view because expansionary monetary policy will lead to higher inflation in the longer term making business operations less profitable.

Target costing is arrived at by taking a.the selling price and adding desired profit b.the selling price minus desired profit c.the budget standard cost and reducing it by 10% d.the selling price and subtracting the budget standard cost
Answer:
The answer is B. the selling price minus desired profit
Explanation:
The formula for target costing is:
Selling price minus desired profit(profit margin).
Target costing is one of the tools used by management to determine the cost at which a product will be sold for at every stage of its life-cycle.
One of the advantages of target costing is that it enables firms to think about the best way to produce a product at the lowest possible costs
Alternate Outputs from One Day's Labor Input: USA: 12 bushels of wheat or 3 yards of textiles. India: 3 bushels of wheat or 12 yards of textiles. From the data, the USA:________.
a) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of wheat.
b) should export textiles to India.
c) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of textiles.
d) has a comparative advantage in the production of textiles.
Answer: a) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of wheat.
Explanation:
When a country is said to have an Absolute advantage in the production of a commodity, it means that they can produce more of that commodity than the country being compared to given the same amount of resources, all else being equal.
Given one day's labor input, the US can produce 12 bushels of wheat while India can only manage 3 bushels. The United States therefore has an Absolute advantage in the production of Wheat than India.
In an Oligopoly industry a change in price by one firm will _____ impact the other firms in the industry.
Answer:
The answer is significantly.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market situation in which there are few sellers, selling similar goods and services and many buyers. The barriers to entry in this market in high. Example of a oligopoly market is OPEC.
The competition amongst the few sellers is high because they are selling the same thing and a change in price by one firm will significantly affect other firms in the industry. For example, if a firm reduces the price of its goods, this creates a price war and other firms to start reducing their price to match the lower price. And if another firm increases its price, consumers will switch to competitors

This is because, being aware that you will break even on the closing cost in 2 years which is quite better when compared to no of years to stay (atleast five years) gives the person a competitive advantage.
2. Suppose that you have 2 buyers and one item for sale. The first buyer values your product at $10, and the second buyer values your product at $6. You estimate that the probability of getting the high value customer is 40%. Your marginal costs are $3. You have only one chance to sell your item to these buyers. What is your optimal price and expected profit
Answer:
Price at $6, Profit = $3
Explanation:
When price is $ 10:
Profit = $10 - $3 = $7
But there is 40% chance of high valued customer
So, profit = $7 X 0.40 = $2.8
When price is $6
Profit = $6 - $3 = $3
You have just joined the project management office after five years of working on projects. One of the things you want to introduce to your company is the need to create and utilize WBSs.

Tell them that it is not needed b. Tell them it is required only if the project involves contracts. c. Tell them it is the only way to identify risks. d. Tell them it will prevent work from slipping through the cracks
Answer: d. Tell them it will prevent work from slipping through the cracks
Explanation:
Work Breakdown Structures work to make a large and by extension all projects more manageable by dividing it into different portions that will then be managed individually to ensure that they are accomplished.
With different portions, various team members can be assigned to them which will lead to greater work efficiency as work is done simultaneously on a project.
Due to this division of the project and the micro-management that comes with it, tasks can be better monitored meaning that there will be less chances of work slipping through the cracks because all tasks will be assigned to different portions of the project and can therefore be traced easily and their completion will form part of the completion of a portion.

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,400 helmets, using 2,346 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $15,484. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.64 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answer:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets?
3,400 helmets x 064 kgs per helmet = 2,176 kgs
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets?
2,176 kgs x $7 per kg = $15,232
3. What is the materials spending variance?
$15,484 - $15,232 = $252 unfavorable (because total expenditures on materials were higher than budgeted)
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
materials price variance = [($15,484/2,346) - $7] x 2,346 = -$938 favorable (the purchase price per kg was lower than budgeted)
materials quantity variance = (2,346 - 2,176) x $7 = $1,190 unfavorable
A company sold equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000 cash. The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000. The company should recognize a:
Answer:
$0 gain/loss
Explanation:
A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000
The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000
The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment
Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation
= $290,000-$145,000
= $145,000
Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows
= Selling price-book value
= $145,000-$145,000
= 0
Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment
Answer:
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Explanation:
The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.
Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value
The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.
Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date
Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000
Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Peter Parker is evaluating two different methods for manufacturing spiderwebs. The first option is manufacturing them in his home lab. This will entail purchasing an industrial-grade chemical reactor that costs $450,000. He will have to hire a lab assistant who will initially receive a salary of $60,000 a year, but that salary must be adjusted for inflation every year at an inflation rate of 2.5%. After ten years, the chemical reactor can be sold for $30,000. This lab setup can produce 10,000 cubic meters of spiderwebs per year.
The second option is outsourcing all the manufacturing process to a biotech company recently set up by Bruce Banner. In this case, the price of the spiderwebs will be $14 per cubic meter over the next ten years.
Since Peter Parker is a broke student, all of this project is being financed by a superhero fund set up by his late friend and mentor Tony Stark. This fund returns 11% annually. Since this is not a commercial endeavor, there are no taxes nor depreciation to consider. Given these data, calculate the unit price of manufacturing spiderwebs in the lab and decide which of the two options makes the most economic sense. Justify your answers with calculations.
Answer:
Option B makes the most economic sense.
Explanation:
Option A:
The total Initial investment amount - $450,000 + $60,000 = $510,000 total Initial investment cost excluding the adjustment for inflation every year of the staff.
Per unit manufacturing cost= $510,000 ÷ 10, 000 (cubic meters of spiderwebs per year) = $51 (implying the selling price per unit will be higher than this).
Option B:
Initial total investment cost = $0 (he only outsourced)
Per unit manufacturing cost= less than $14 (because the price of the spiderwebs will be $14 per cubic meter over the next ten years).
By outsourcing following option B, Peter would avoid the massive initial investment cost of buying the industrial-grade chemical reactor that costs $450,000. Also, since this is not a commercial endeavor he needs to be wary of the lower cost per unit of the spiderwebs he stands to gain with option B.
On January 1, a company issued and sold a $300,000, 5%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $293,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:
Answer: $293,350
Explanation:
The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment will be the addition of the received proceed and the ammortized discount. This will be:
= $293,000 + $350
= $293,350
Note that the ammortized discount was calculated as:
= ($300000 - $293000)/20
= $7000/20
= $350
Blaster, Inc., manufactures portable radios. Each radio requires 3 units of Part XBEZ52, which has a standard cost of $1.75 per unit. During May, the company purchased 24,120 units of the part for a total of $43,416. Also during May, the company manufactured 6,240 radios, using 20,620 units of part XBEZ52. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. During May, the materials price variance for part XBEZ52 was:
Answer:
$1,206 unfavorable
Explanation:
materials price variance = (AP – SP) x AQ
SP = $1.75
AQ = 24,120 units (units purchased)
AP = $43,416 / 24,120 = $1.80
materials price variance = ($1.80 - $1.75) x 24,120 = $1,206 unfavorable
Since the price paid for each part is higher than the standard price, the variance is unfavorable.
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.a. A company has the following assets at the end of the year: cash on hand $40,000, cash refund due from customer $30,000, and checking account balance $22,000. Cash and cash equivalents is therefore $62,000.b. A company that has received NSF checks should report these checks as a current liability on the balance sheet.c. Restricted cash that is a current asset is reported as part of cash and cash equivalents.d. A company has cash in the bank of $50,000, petty cash of $400, and stock investments of $100,000. Total cash and cash equivalents is therefore $50,400.
Answer:
Indication of whether each of the following statements is true or false:
a. A company has the following assets at the end of the year: cash on hand $40,000, cash refund due from customer $30,000, and checking account balance $22,000. Cash and cash equivalents is therefore $62,000.
True
b. A company that has received NSF checks should report these checks as a current liability on the balance sheet.
False
c. Restricted cash that is a current asset is reported as part of cash and cash equivalents.
False
d. A company has cash in the bank of $50,000, petty cash of $400, and stock investments of $100,000. Total cash and cash equivalents is therefore $50,400.
True
Explanation:
a. Cash and cash equivalents do not include refund due from customers.
b. NSF checks mean that the checks were returned by the bank to the company marked "Not Sufficient Funds." These checks are to be returned to the customers. The customers' accounts will be debited to reverse the earlier recorded payment offsetting their accounts. They are, therefore, not to be recorded as liabilities.
c. Since restricted cash is not available for general and immediate use by the company, it is not part of the cash and cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents deal with cash and near cash items that can easily be converted into cash and used in settlement of financial obligations.
d. This is while only marketable securities (bonds, shares, etc) are included in cash and cash equivalents, because most of them have a duration of less than 3 months. Stock investments, without any qualification, do not qualify to be classified as cash and cash equivalents, unless they are held as marketable securities.

= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B

Cash $38,600 Short-term investments 9,000 Accounts receivable 40,000 Inventory 240,000 Prepaid expenses 17,400 Accounts payable 87,200 Other current payables 22,300 Multiple Choice 0.96 and 3.96. 2.99 and 1.25. 3.15 and 0.80. 3.15 and 0.32.
Answer:
Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)
Explanation:
Note: The missing part of the question is "Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:"
i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400
Current assets = $345,000
Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300
Current liabilities = $109,500
Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500
Current ratio = 3.15
ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities
Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000 + 17,400 ) / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 0.80
