Answers

Answer:

SISKO & Co. Ltd.

1. The paid-up share capital is:

A. Le1.25 million

2. Current Ratio will be:

(B) 3:1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Issued share capital = 1,000,000 shares

Allotment = Le1.25 per share

Paid-up share capital = Le1.25 million (Le1.25 * 1,000,000)

Current Ratio:

Cash Balance                  Le15,000

Trade Receivables         Le35,000

Inventory                        Le40,000

Total current assets      Le90,000

Current liabilities:

Trade Payables             Le24,000

Bank Overdraft               Le6,000

Total current liabilities Le30,000

Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= Le90,000/Le30,000

= 3:1

Assume that Guardian Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $500,000; Purchase Returns and Allowances $14,000; Purchase Discounts $9,000; and Freight-in $15,000. Determine net purchases and cost of goods purchased.

Answers

Answer:

Net purchases:

= Purchases - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchase Discount

= 500,000 - 14,000 - 9,000

Your sister just deposited $5,500 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.8 percent for the next 6 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 6 years

Answers

Answer:

$5749.02

Explanation:

The first step is to determine the future value of my sister's deposit

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

5500 (1.088)^6 = $9122.97

the second step is to determine the present value of  $9122.97 using an interest rate of 8%

$9122.97 / (1.08)^6 = $5749.02

Answer: $1942.89

Explanation:

Since the car will cost $120,000 and it will be financed with a 84 month contract having a nominal rate of 9.20%, then the monthly payment will be:

= PMT(9.2%/12, 84, -120000)

Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds

Answers

Answer: 9.2%

Explanation:

The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:

Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:

= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%

Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:

= Previous risk premium / 2

= 2.8% / 2

= 1.4%

Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:

= 7.8% + 1.4%

= 9.2%

3. Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

On January 1, 2020, Starn Tool & Manufacturing Company purchased a copyright for $31,000 cash. It is estimated that the copyrighted item will have no value by the end of 10 years.

Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Amortization expenses for 2020 = Annual amortization expense = Copyright cost / Estimated useful life of the copyright = $31,000 / 10 = $3,100

Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 = Copyright cost - Amortization expenses for 2020 = $31,000 - $3,100 = $27,900

Copyright fair value = $21,100

Impairment loss = Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 - Copyright fair value = $27,900 - $21,100 = $6,800

Therefore, the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.

If the inflation rate is equal to the nominal interest rate, the real interest rate is?
negative.
zero.
either positive or zero.
positive.

Answers

Answer: zero

Explanation:

It should be noted that real interest rate is the equal to the nominal interest rate after the inflation rate has been deducted.

Real Interest rate = Nominal rate - Inflation rate

For example let's say the nominal Interest rate and the inflation rate are both 5%, then the real interest rate will be:

Real Interest rate = Nominal rate - Inflation rate

Real interest rate = 5% - 5% = 0

Can anyone explain the popularity of the Types of housing in the UK for me?

Answers

Explanation:

Save

There are numerous different types of residential properties to be found throughout the United Kingdom. However, not all may be suitable for your unique requirements. Let’s take the guesswork out of the picture by listing all of the most common variants as well as the bespoke aspects of each. You can then make an informed and educated decision at the appropriate time.

It is currently estimated that there are more than 25 million residential properties throughout the United Kingdom. From detached homes and flats to bungalows and cottages, you have a host of amazing options at your disposal. There is still no doubt that finding the most appropriate structure for your needs can be a bit tricky. Let us examine these and other variants in greater detail. What are the advantages of specific properties? What does each have in store? How will price come into play? These important questions deserve a great deal of attention if you hope to obtain the insight and clarity required to make the best choice possible.

Detached Houses

As the name already suggests, detached houses do not share any walls with a separate structure. They also tend to have both front and back gardens. Associated with a greater degree of privacy when compared to other variants, these units are often ideal solutions for those who have children. The median price for a detached house (at the time that this article was written) is £242,286. If you are curious to know the worth of your property, feel free to use our online house valuation tool at your disposal.

Semi-Detached Houses

As the name suggests, the only major difference between a detached house and a semi-detached property is that semi-detached homes share at least one wall with an existing structure that is separately owned. Not only does this save a great deal of space, but these variants are also noticeably cheaper when compared to fully detached houses. This is why the average 2018 value of these structures was £225,674. The only possible concern is that semi-detached houses do not offer the same level of privacy as their detached alternatives.

Terraced Housing

These are actually some of the most well-known and iconic housing types within the United Kingdom. Terraced houses are connected by a single wall on either side; leading to a literal “row” of structures that occupy a street. The main advantage here is that this type of construction saves a great deal of space. This is why they are quite popular within urban districts where land is at a premium. The prices of these properties are also somewhat lower due to the fact that front or back gardens are sometimes absent from their design (although some may contain small front yards). According to government figures compiled in January 2018, the average price for a terraced home is £194,167.

End-of-Terrace Houses

The only main difference between end-of-terrace houses and the terraced counterparts mentioned previously is that these structures are found at the terminal of a row of homes. In other words, only one wall is shared with an adjacent structure. This is why such houses are often found at the end of a road or on a cul-de-sac. This is also the reason why end-of-terrace homes are priced slightly higher. Some studies have found that these structures cost as much as 18 per cent more than normal terraced homes.

Flats

There is no doubt that flats are by far the most well-known types of homes in the UK. Often being offered as a series within a single building, flats are known for their space-saving qualities as well as their convenience. These structures can either be rented on a contractual basis or purchased (the former is quite common). Flats are ideal for single individuals or those with small families due to the fact that they are often much more affordable when compared to detached or semi-detached houses. In fact, the average rental price of a flat (taking into account both urban and rural locations) is approximately £650. Purchase prices will naturally vary and if you would like to get a better idea of what flats have recently sold for in your area, take a look at our sold house price tool.

Converted Flats

The name for these types of residential properties is actually a bit of a misnomer. Converted flats are often houses that have been split into two sections; a top and bottom half. Either of these can be considered a flat while the other portion is normally where the owner resides. Please note that larger structures can be divided into multiple sections (such as individual bedroom-bathroom combinations) which can be rented separately. Depending upon the property in question, converted flats may or may not offer front and back gardens. The price of these locations fluctuates; depending upon issues such as the age of the property, its overall size and the cost of renting a section out to a customer.

The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.

Answers

Answer:

Holt Enterprises

The terminal, or horizon, date is:

the date when the growth rate becomes constant.  This occurs at the end of Year 2.

Explanation:

a) Recent dividend, DO = $3.50

Expected non-constant growth = 19%

Period of non-constant growth = 2 years

Expected constant rate of growth = 10% after 2 years of non-constant growth

The firm's required return rate = 13%

b) The terminal or horizon date is, therefore, from the end of year 2 or beginning of year 3, when constant growth sets in with the Holt stock.

At the horizon date the dividend, D3, must have grown to $5.42 approx.

Then, the horizon value is given by the formula = D3 / required rate - growth rate

 = 5.42 / 0.13 - 0.01

= 5.42 / 0.03

= $181

ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).

ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).

Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a. Raw material price variance is

= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity

= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)

= ($10 - $11) × 6,300

= $6,300 unfavorable

b. The raw material usage variance is

= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price

= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10

= $5,250 favorable

In this way it should be calculated

The following statements describe why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run. Select the explanation that most accurately reflects this scenario?
A) Firms try to increase supply to cover their costs if they experience losses, and this leads to zero profits.
B) Firms are unable to generate revenue over time because the demand for products drops.
C) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market prices drop.
D) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market, prices rise.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market the prices drop.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the perfect competitive market is characterized by the fact that there a lot of companies that sell an homogenous product and that are price takers of the market itself. So therefore that the only big difference in the firms are the costs and the prices that they have. Moreover, in the long run the firms are obtaining great profits so that leads to the enter of another more companies to the market and the supply rises the prices will have to go low so that will implicate as well a decrease in the prices of every company that now works in that industry.

Business Projected Growth Rate Current market share
Shipping Low 1%
Cargo inspection High 5%
Railroad loading Low 75%
Freight forwarding High 70%

Which of the following divisions would you take profits from and continue to run?
a. Railroad loading
b. Shipping
c. Freight forwarding
d. Cargo inspection

Answers

Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

Pharoah Construction Company earned $403,000 during the year ended June 30, 2017. After paying out $225,794 in dividends, the balance went into retained earnings. If the firm's total retained earnings were $847,042 at the end of fiscal year 2017, what were the retained earnings on its balance sheet on July 1, 2016

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above,

The retained earnings for June 2017

If net profit = retained earnings + dividend

Retained earnings = earnings - dividend payout

$403,000 - $225,794

= $177,206

Therefore, the retained earnings on it's balance sheet on July 1 2013 would be;

= Total retained earnings at the end of the fiscal year 2017 - Retained earnings

= $847,042 - $177,206

= $669,836

a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000
b) $20,000 $300,000 $580,000
c) $600,000 $300,000 $0
d) $600,000 $60,000 $240,000

Answers

Answer:

Common stock Preferred stock APIC

a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report

Calculation to determine the COMMON STOCK

Common stock=20,000 shares*$1

Common stock=$20,000

Calculation to determine PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred stock =6,000 shares*$10

Preferred stock =$60,000

Calculation to determine ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL (APIC)

APIC=[(6000*$50)-(6000*$10)]+[(20,000*$30)+(20,000*$1)]

APIC=($300,000-$60,000)+($600,000-$20,000)

APIC=$240,000+$580,000

APIC=$820,000

Therefore Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report:

Common stock Preferred stock APIC

$20,000 $60,000 $820,000

During the current year, assets increased from $11,000 to $19,000, and liabilities decreased from $9,000 to $7,500. If no additional capital contributions were made during the year, dividends totaled $4,000, and expenses totaled $21,000, determine total revenues for the year

Answers

Answer:

$34,500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine total revenues for the year

Using this formula

Total revenues=Increase in Assets+Decreased in liabilities+Dividends+Expenses

Let plug in the formula

Total revenues=($11,000-$19,000)+($9,000-$7,500)+$4,000+$21,000

Total revenues=$8,000+$1,500+$4,000+$21,000

Total revenues=$34,500

Therefore total revenues for the year is $34,500

Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spend its excess cash once it has funded all positive net present value projects

Answers

Answer: e. repurchase shares

Explanation:

If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.

The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.
