A divorced woman with 2 young children has a small trust fund that gives her $2,500 a year in income. She collects another $2,500 per year in alimony payments. The woman wishes to make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: No contribution can be made

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

a. No contribution can be made

b. A contribution can be made based only on the income received from the trust fund.

c. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received

d. A contribution can be made based on both the income received from the trust fund and the alimony payments received

From the question, we are informed that a divorced woman with 2 young children has a small trust fund that gives her $2,500 a year in income and that she collects another $2,500 per year in alimony payments.

Based on the above analysis, the woman cannot make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year.

A three-year annuity-immediate will be issued a year from now with annual payments of 5,000. Using the forward rates, calculate the present value of this annuity a year from now.

Answers

Answer:

13,152.5

Explanation:

Given the the above parameters as mentioned in the question

To calculate the PV (Present Value)

We have PV = 5000 * 1.05 * [ 1/(1.0575)² + 1/(0.625)³ + 1/(1.065)⁴]

PV = 5000 * 1.05 * (0.8942094350 + 0.8337064929 + 0.7773230908) =

=> PV = 5000 * 1.05 * 2.5052390187

= 13,152.50

Therefore, in this case, using the forward rates, the present value of this annuity a year from now is 13,152.50

The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326

Explanation:

the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0

NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows

NPV = 0

initial outlay = -$831,500

PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor

annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326

using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.

So our IRR = 20%

Answers

Answer:

$30.75

Explanation:

Given that

Security bidding = $30.25

Offered price = $30.75

over the counter trading = $30.75

Commission charged = $0.50

based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50

Hence, the price is $30.75

a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).

What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year

Answers

Answer:

common stock = $80,308

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + equity

current balance:

$260,881 = $150,673 + $110,208

$110,208 = common stock + retained earnings = $57,508 + $52,700

next year:

net income = $44,200

dividends = $12,000

assets = $260,881 + $55,000 = $315,881

liabilities = $150,673

equity = $315,881 - $150,673 = $165,208

retained earnings = $52,700 + $44,200 - $12,000 = $84,900

common stock = $165,208 - $84,900 = $80,308

Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE

Answers

Answer:

1. Average total asset = $455,000

2. Net income = $63,700

3. Return on investment = 14%

4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%

Explanation:

These can be calculated as follows:

1. Average total asset

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:

Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)

Where;

Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2

Sales = $910,000

Average total asset = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:

2 = $910,000 / Average total asset

Average total asset = $910,000 / 2

Average total asset = $455,000

2. Net income

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:

Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)

Where,

Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07

Net income = ?

Sales = $910,000

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:

7% = Net income / $910,000

Net income = $910,000 * 7%

Net income = $63,700

3. Return on investment

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:

Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)

Where;

Net income = $63,700

Average total asset = $455,000

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000

Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%

4. Return on equity (ROE)

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:

Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)

Net income = $63,700

Average stockholders' equity = $490,000

Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:

Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000

Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%

Samuel, a longtime employee of the ABCD Corporation, was injured when he fell off a ladder while stocking widgets at ABDC at their East Lansing, Michigan location. Samuel believes ABCD Corporation was negligent for selling widgets. If Samuel sues his employer in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery:
a. he will lose
b. he will win
c. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, completely
d. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, but only if the court awards him non-economic damages

Answers

Answer:

Option B. He will win

Explanation:

If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.

Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.

It is likely that if Samuel sues ABCD Corporation in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery, a. he will lose.

 

The question to ask is, is ABCD Corporation negligent in selling widgets? No. Is it the case that the corporation's sale of widgets caused Samuel to fall off a ladder while he was stocking them at the Michigan location? No.

 

For Samuel to be successful in the circuit court, he must prove that ABCD Corporation acted negligently with its sales of widgets, especially:

ABCD Corporation owed a duty to Samuel not to sell widgets ABCD Corporation breached this duty to Samuel  ABCD's breach was the actual cause of Samuel's injury  ABCD's breach was also the proximate cause of Samuel's fall and injury  Samuel suffered actual damages as a result of the negligent act by ABCD Corporation.

 

Thus, based on the above, Samuel will lose the case because the corporation was not negligent for selling widgets nor for the fall of Samuel from the ladder.

In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 4,850 units during June.Required:Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity:

Direct materials (pounds)= 50,000/4= 12,500 pounds

Direct materials (pounds)= 12,500/5,000= 2.5 pounds per unit

Direct labor (hours)= 36,000/18= 2,000 hours

Direct labor (hours)= 2,000/5,000= 0.4 hours

Actual quantity:

Actual direct materials= (49,600/4)= 9,920 pounds

Actual direct labor= 34,020/18= 1,890 hours

Production= 4,850

To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 2.5*4,850= 12,125

Direct material quantity variance= (12,125 - 9,920)*4

Direct material quantity variance= $8,820 favorable

To calculate the direct labor time variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 0.4*4,850= 1,940

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,940 - 1,890)*18

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $900 favorable

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average return is 11.3​% and the standard deviation of its returns in 19.7​%. Would a​ 30% loss next year be outside the​ 95% confidence interval for this​ portfolio?

Answers

Answer:

-28.1%

Explanation:

Calculation for what would a​ 30% loss next year be outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the​ portfolio

The standard deviation of 95% confident will be 2

The first step is to find the Upper tail using this formula

Upper tail= Average return percentage +(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113+(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113+0.394

Upper tail=0.507*100

Upper tail =50.7%

Second step is to find the Lower tail using this formula

Lower tail=Average return percentage -(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113-(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113-0.394

Upper tail=-0.281*100

Upper tail =28.1%

Based on the above calculation the lower tail was -28.1% which means that it wouldn't in any way loss more than the 30% of it value next year outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the portfolio

Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?

Answers

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

As an initial transaction in a new margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $20 per share. After the customer deposits the appropriate margin, the credit balance in the account will be:

Answers

Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $2,000 = $1,500 . However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 required to open the account, hence $2,000 must be deposited.

Therefore, the credit balance in the account will be;

= 2,000 + 2,000 ( 100 × $20)

= $4,000

9) Selected information regarding a company's most recent quarter follows (all data in thousands). 9) _______ Direct labor $540 Beginning work in process inventory $330 Ending work in process inventory $420 Cost of goods manufactured $1620 Manufacturing overhead $830 What was the cost of direct materials used for the quarter

Answers

Answer:

Direct material= $340

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor $540

Beginning work in process inventory $330

Ending work in process inventory $420

Cost of goods manufactured $1620

Manufacturing overhead $830

To calculate the direct material used in production, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

1,620= 330 + DM + 540 + 830 - 420

Direct material= $340
