Income Statement Statement of Retained Earnings

How profitable has the firm been?
How much of the firm's earnings are left as balance after the firm pays out dividends to its shareholders?

If compensation for senior management is based on short-term performance of the firm, in the short run the firm is likely to:
a. Overstate its earnings
b. Understate its earnings

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Indication of financial statement to refer to when answering questions in the following table:

Question                                                   Financial Statement

How profitable has the firm been?         Income Statement

How much of the firm's earnings are     Statement of Retained Earnings

left as balance after the firm pays out

dividends to its shareholders?

2. If compensation for senior management is based on short-term performance of the firm, in the short run the firm is likely to:

a. Overstate its earnings

Explanation:

Company A's Income Statement shows its profit performance at different levels.  At one level is the gross profit, which shows the difference between the net sales or service revenue and the cost of sales/service.  At another level is the operating income, which is the income before interest and taxes.  The next important level is the net income, which is the profit after taxes.  This shows the earnings available for distribution to stockholders.  The Statement of Cash Flows classifies the cash flows generated into operating, investing, and financing activities, and shows the non-cash flow adjustments.

Suppose that the total value of dividends to be paid by companies in the Narnian stock market index is $100 billion. Investors expect dividends to grow over the long term by 5% annually, and they require a 10% return. Now a collapse in the economy leads investors to revise their growth estimate down to 4%. By how much should market values change

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "16.67%".

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend,

= $100 billion

Rate of return,

= 10%

= 0.10

Growth rate,

= 5%

= 0.05

Now,

Market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]

= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)

After collapse,

The market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]

= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)

Change in market value will be:

= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]

= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)

hence,

The percentage change in market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]

= [tex]16.67[/tex]%

While under contract to play professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy Cunningham, an outstanding player, negotiated a three-year contract with the Carolina Cougars, another professional basketball team. The contract with the Cougars was to begin at the expiration of the contract with the 76ers. In addition to a signing bonus of $125,000, Cunningham was to receive under the new contract a salary of $100,000 for the first year, $110,000 for the second, and $120,000 for the third. The contract also stated that Cunningham "had special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill and ability as a basketball player" and that Cunningham therefore agreed the Cougars could enjoin him from playing basketball for any other team for the term of the contract. In addition, the contract contained a clause prohibiting its assignment to another club without Cunningham’s consent. In 1971, the ownership of the Cougars changed, and Cunningham’s contract was assigned to Munchak Corporation, the new owners, without his consent. When Cunningham refused to play for the Cougars, Munchak Corporation sought to enjoin his playing for any other team. Cunningham asserts that his contract was not assignable. Was the contract assignable? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Billy Cunningham and the Cougars

The contract was not assignable to another club.

But, the contract (assets and liabilities) can be inherited by a successor entity using the same club, the Cougars.

Explanation:

The contract was not assigned to another club, despite the change of ownership of the Cougars.  Interestingly, the contract between Cunningham and Carolina Cougars was inheritable with the change of ownership of the Cougar Club from the formers owners, Carolina Cougars, to the new owners, Munchak Corporation.  The clause prohibiting the contract's assignment to another club without Cunningham's consent was not violated.

Assume that you are a loan officer of a bank. A local church is seeking a $4 million, 20-year loan to construct a new classroom building. Church officers submit a comprehensive financial report that was audited by a reputable CPA firm. In summary form (the actual statement showed details), the church’s statement of revenues and expenditures indicated the following (in millions):

Revenues from dues and contributions .... $1.8
Revenues from other sources ....... 0.2
Total revenues ............. $2.0
Less: total expenditures .......... 2.0
Excess of revenues over expenditures .... $0.0

The church's balance sheet reported assets, mainly cash and investments (at market value), of $0.2 million. In addition, a note to the financial statements indicated that equipment is approximately $3 million. The church has no outstanding debt.

a. Is there any information in the financial statements that would make you reluctant to approve the loan? If so, indicate and explain.
b. Is there any other financial information of the type likely to be reported in a conventional annual report that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
c. Is there any other information, of any type, that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
d. Comment on the inherent limitations of the financial statements of this church, or any comparable not-for-profit organization, as a basis for making loan decisions.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

There is little information on how funds are used or how much money is spent to manage the church. The financial statements have been prepared incorrectly.

Interpretation:

While drafting the financial accounts, the church committed many errors. The church's revenue is equivalent to its daily operations operating expenditures. They have approximately $3 million in funding assets that they do not owe any money on.  

It may be deduced that the church is attempting to preserve asymmetric information, and therefore it will be better to justify its sources of income and use of money in order to determine whether they can or they cannot pay the debt.

b.

The revenue from various channels must be detailed in the yearly report so that the loan officer may make an informed judgment.

Interpretation:

Since payments and contributions account for 90% of revenue and revenue from other sources accounts for 10%, it's surprising how the church earns money in other ways as stated on the income statement. As a result, it's important to understand what other potential revenue streams the church has before approving the loan.

c.

The officer in charge of the loan should check the church's book records to make sure and guarantee that there are no outstanding loans. This situation necessitates a thorough examination and assessment.

Interpretation:

The church has $3 million worth of equipment. The church's expenses, on the other hand, are equivalent to the church's income. As a result, it's unclear how the church acquired the equipment without taking out a loan. As a result, the church must be urged to produce a full breakdown of its expenses, which may be thoroughly and fully studied to see whether there are any financing charges that the church is attempting to hide in its yearly reports.

d.

There is no direct or primary source of income for the church. It solely makes money from charity donations.

Interpretation:

The church's only sources of income are fundraisers and charitable donations. It also doesn't possess any significant revenue streams. Because the church is attempting to conceal numerous possible pieces of information, this may be a case of micro-management by the proprietors, and so these issues should be considered by the officer in charge of the loan before accepting the loan.

Your company has earnings per share of $ 4.19. It has 1.9 million shares​ outstanding, each of which has a price of $59. You are thinking of buying​ TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $ 2.10, 1.9 million shares​ outstanding, and a price per share of $ 21.You will pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. If companies in the same industry as TargetCo are trading at multiples of 12 times​earnings, what would be one estimate of an appropriate premium for​TargetCo?
TargetCo has $2.10 in​ earnings, so if other companies in its industry are trading at 12 times​ earnings, then a starting point for a valuation of TargetCo in this transaction might be ________ per​share, implying a _________ premium

Answers

Answer:

If the current earnings per share of TargetCo. are $2.10, and the times earnings multiple is 12, the relative valuation should result in a $2.10 x 12 = $25.20 per stock. This means that the premium per stock = $25.20 - $21 = $4.20, and the total premium paid for all the 1.9 million shares = $7.98 million.

Cullumber Corporation has announced that its net income for the year ended June 30, 2017, was $1,353,412. The company had EBITDA of $4,948,000, and its depreciation and amortization expense was equal to $1,128,000. The company's average tax rate is 34 percent. What was its interest expense

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Net income = $1,353,412

Tax rate is 34% hence the company's EBT amount is calculated as

EBT = $1,353,412 / 0.66 = $2,050,624.24

Add back Depreciation and amortization to the EBT

= $2,050,624.24 + $1,128,000

= $3,178,624.24

The difference between the above and EBITDA amount will be the interest expense for the year

= $4,948,000 - $3,178,624.24

= $1,769,375.76

Therefore, the interest expense is $1,769,375.76

Net operating income $150,000
Average operating assets $750,000
Required:
Consider each question below independently. Carry out all computations to two decimal places.
1. Compute the company’s return on investment (ROI).
2. The entrepreneur who founded the company is convinced that sales will increase next year by 50% and that net operating income will increase by 200%, with no increase in average operating assets. What would be the company's ROI?
3. The chief financial officer of the company believes a more realistic scenario would be a $1,000,000 increase in sales, requiring a $250.000 increase in average operating assets, with a resulting $200,000 increase in net operating income. What would be the company’s ROI in this scenario?

Answers

Answer:

1. ROI = Margin * Turnover

Margin = Net operating income / Sales

= 150,000 / 3,000,000

= 5%

Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets

= 3,000,000 / 750,000

= 4 times

ROI = 5% * 4

= 20%

2. Sales will increase by 50% and NOI will increase by 200%.

Margin = (150,000 * (1 + 200%)) / (3,000,000 * ( 1 + 50%))

= 10%

Turnover = (3,000,000 * ( 1 + 50%)) / 750,000

= 6

ROI = 10% * 6

= 60%

3. Sales will increase by $1,000,000. Average operating assets by $250,000 and NOI will increase by $200,000

Margin = (150,000 + 200,000) / (3,000,000 + 1,000,000)

= 8.75%

Turnover = (3,000,000 + 1,000,000) / (750,000 + 250,000)

= 4

ROI = 8.75% * 4

= 35%

During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00

Answers

Answer:

d. $240.00

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)

2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)

2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units

2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;

2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125

2005 selling price per unit= $240

Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240

Crane Company receives a $74,000, 5-year note bearing interest of 5% (paid annually) from a customer at a time when the discount rate is 6%.

Required:
What is the present value of the note received by Crane?

Answers

Answer: $70,882.98

Explanation:

Present value of note = Present value of interest payments + Present value of face value

Present value of interest payment:

First calculate the interest:

= 5% * 74,000

= $3,700

This amount is constant so is an annuity

Present value = 3,700 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 6%

= 3,700 * 4.2124

= $15,585.88

Present value of face value :

= 74,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵

= $55,297.10

Present value of note:

= 15,585.88 + 55,297.10

= $70,882.98

b. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.
c. The countries would find trade mutually beneficial at a trading ratio of 1 grain for 2 timber.
d. Mexico has an absolute advantage in timber production.

Answers

Answer: B. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage simply means when an economy can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another economy.

From the information given, since Canada can produce 15units of timber or 3 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 15/3 = 5 timber

On the other hand, Mexico can produce 6 units of timber or 2 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 6/2 = 3 timber.

Therefore, Mexico haa a comparative advantage in grain based on the above.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 8,550

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales units 8,500 9,200 5,950

Desired ending inventory=  20% of the next month's sales.

To calculate the production for August, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 9,200 + (5,950*0.2) - (9,200*0.2)

Production= 9,200 + 1,190 - 1,840

Production= 8,550

C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.

Explanation:

The arrangement that meets their goals is Joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWROS) which affords survivorship rights to either Natasha or Link in the event of the death of either spouse.  In other words, JTWROS allows either Natasha or Link to automatically own the property without publicity or probate.  This arrangement will meet all their arrangements, unlike tenancy in common.  Moreover, there is no community property provision in North Carolina where they live.  Lastly, naming Natasha presupposes that Link would die first.  This does not meet their expectations.

A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.

Answers

Answer: B. Decrease

Explanation:

Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.

In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

a. 5 times.
b. 6.25 times.
c. 5.25 times.
d. 8 times.

Answers

Answer:

Below is the calculation:

Income before income tax = $420000

Income tax expenses = 120000 dollars

Net income = $300000

Interest expense = $80000

Interest earned ratio = Earning Before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expenses

Interest earned ratio = 420000 / 80000

Interest earned ratio = 5.25 times

Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.

c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point.

Explanation:

Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.

[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]

Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.
