Answer:
Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firmsExplanation:
An Oligopolistic market structure is very concentrated which means that it is controlled by a few large firms who can decide to collude to influence market prices.
There is interdependence among the firms as the pricing decision of one firm affects the rest because it could either increase or decrease the market share that each firm enjoys. e.g. if one firm charges a lower price and the other firms don't, the lower price company will gain market share.
The goods sold in this market are either homogeneous or differentiated products which is why there is so much interdependence because products can be substituted.
Patents are on the books of a British subsidiary of a U.S. firm at a value of 50,000 pounds. The patents were acquired in 2017 when the exchange rate was 1 pound = $1.50. The British subsidiary was acquired by the U.S. firm in 2019 when the exchange rate was 1 pound = $1.40. The exchange rate on December 31, 2020, the date of the most current balance sheet, is 1 pound = $1.55. The average rate of exchange for 2020 is $1.53. Assuming the dollar is the functional currency of the subsidiary, what exchange rate will be used to re-measure patents for the consolidated statements dated December 31, 2020?
Answer:
The exchange rate that will be used to re-measure patents for the consolidated statements dated December 31, 2020 is:
= 1 pound = $1.55.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Patents on the books of a British subsidiary = 50,000 pounds
Patent's acquisition date = 2017 at 1 pound = $1.50
Subsidiary's acquisition date = 2019 at 1 pound = $1.40
Current exchange rate, most current balance sheet on December 31, 2020 = 1 pound = $1.55.
Average rate of exchange for 2020 is $1.53
Value of Patent for the consolidated accounts = $77,500 (50,000 pounds * $1.55)
b) The accounting standard rule is that assets and liabilities of subsidiaries should be consolidated at the current exchange rates. Business transactions are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year. For equity accounts, you can use either the current or historical exchange rates.
Large Stock Dividend and Forward Stock Split Low Corporation has 50,000 shares of $40 par value common stock outstanding and retained earnings of $1,500,000. The company declares a 100 percent stock dividend. The market price at the declaration date is $40 per share. a. Prepare the journal entries for (1) the declaration of the dividend and (2) the issuance of the dividend.
Answer:
Part 1
Debit : Dividends $50,000
Credit : Shareholders for dividends $50,000
Part 2
Debit : Shareholders for dividends $50,000
Credit : Cash $50,000
Explanation:
When dividends are declared and not paid, raise a Liability - Shareholders for Dividends to depict the Company`s Present obligation to its shareholders.
When dividends are issued, derecognize the liability - Shareholders for Dividends and recognize a Cash outflow to depict the outflow of cash resources as a result of the distribution.
Dividends Calculation :
Dividends = 50,000 shares x 100% = $50,000

The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $378,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 900 direct labor-hours. The following transactions took place during the year (all purchases and services were acquired on account): a. Raw materials purchased for use in production, $285,000. b. Raw materials requisitioned for use in production (all direct materials), $270,000. c. Utility bills were incurred, $76,000 (85% related to factory operations, and the remainder related to selling and administrative activities). d. Salary and wage costs were incurred:
Answer:
journal entries:
raw materials 285,000 debit
Account Payable 285,000 credit
--to record purchase of materials--
Work in Process Inventory 270,000 debit
Raw Materials 270,000 credit
--to record use of direct materials--
Factory overhead 64,600 debit
Utilities Expense 11,400 debit
Utilities Payable 76,000 credit
--to record incurred utilities in plant and non-manufacturing departments--
Explanation:
We record the journal entries considering that debit = credit
(a) as the business didn't pay cash we use account payable account
(b) we transfer the used amount of materials into WIP inventory
(c) we calculate the proportional use for factory and non-manufacturing departments
76,000 x 85% = 64,600
76,000 x 15% = 11,400
Riverbed Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $4,320,000 on March 1, $2,880,000 on June 1, and $7,200,000 on December 31. Riverbed Company borrowed $2,400,000 on March 1 on a 5-year, 10% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 12%, 5-year, $4,800,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $8,400,000 note payable. Compute avoidable interest for Riverbed Company. Use the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes.
Answer:
total capitalized interests = $572,727
Explanation:
weighted expenditures:
$4,320,000 x 10/12 = $3,600,000
$2,880,000 x 7/12 = $1,680,000
$7,200,000 x 0/12 = $0
total = $5,280,000
$2,400,000 x 10/12 x 10% = $200,000
Capitalized interests = $200,000 (for $2,000,000)
weighted interests
$4,800,000 x 12/12 x 12% = $576,000
$8,400,000 x 12/12 x 11% = $924,000
weighted interest rate = $1,500,000 / $13,200,000 = 11.36%
Capitalized interests = ($5,280,000 - $2,000,000) x 11.36% = $372,727
total capitalized interests = $572,727

Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $175,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $20,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use. Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $19,500 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Part 1
D.E = $5,300
Part 2
a. Book Value = $61,900
b. Book Value = $122,500
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings
Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price
Calculation of the Cost of Building
Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%) $52,500
Building Renovations $20,000
Total $72,500
Step 2 : Depreciation calculation
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life
= ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10
= $5,300
After Year 2
Buildings :
Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600
Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900
Land
Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500
Note : Land is not depreciated
Oakwood Financial Inc. was organized on February 28. Projected selling and administrative expenses for each of the first three months of operations are as follows:
March $132,700
April 124,700
May 113,500
Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes represent $28,000 of the estimated monthly expenses. The annual insurance premium was paid on February 28, and property taxes for the year will be paid in June. 73% of the remainder of the expenses are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month.
Prepare a schedule indicating cash payments for selling and administrative expenses for March, April, and May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we must deduct the depreciation expense from each month. Depreciation is not a cash disbursement, and insurance and taxes are paid once a year.
March= 132,700 - 28,000= 104,700
April= 124,700 - 28,000= 96,700
May= 113,500 - 28,000= 85,500
Now, the cash disbursements for each month:
March:
Selling and administrative costs from March= 104,700*0.73= 76,431
Total cash disbursement= 76,431
April:
Selling and administrative costs from March= 104,700*0.27= 28,269
Selling and administrative costs from April= 96,700*0.73= 70,591
Total cash disbursement= $98,860
May:
Selling and administrative costs from May= 85,500*0.73= 62,415
Selling and administrative costs from April= 96,700*0.27= 26,109
Total cash disbursement= $88,524
The management of Gibraltar Brokerage Services anticipates a capital expenditure of $26,000 in 2 yr for the purpose of purchasing new computers and has decided to set up a sinking fund to finance this purchase. If the fund earns interest at the rate of 11%/year compounded quarterly, determine the size of each (equal) quarterly installment that should be deposited in the fund. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
$2,949.91.
Explanation:
The size of the quarterly installment can be determined by finding the (Payment) PMT amount using tie value of money principles.
Here I used a financial calculator to set my values and calculate PMT as :
PV = $0
N = 2 x 4 = 8
P/yr = 4
I = 11 %
FV = $26,000
PMT = ?
Therefore the (Payment) PMT is $2,949.91. The size of each (equal) quarterly installment should be $2,949.91.

Pilgrim Industries scheduled its annual sales meeting at Celestial City Resort from January 5-10. In addition to meeting and hotel rooms, the resort was to provide an ice-skating pond for the Pilgrim's annual employee hockey game. In the weeks before the meeting, the resort is hit with its worst heat wave on record. Although hotel and meeting rooms are available, there is no possibility of ice skating at the site. If a court finds that the one of Pilgrim's principal purposes in the agreement was the inclusion of an ice-skating pond, the Pilgrim-Celestial contract could be discharged via the doctrine of:
Answer:
If a court finds that the one of Pilgrim's principal purposes in the agreement was the inclusion of an ice-skating pond, the Pilgrim-Celestial contract could be discharged via the doctrine of:
Frustration of Purpose.
Explanation:
The doctrine of Frustration of Purpose occurs when there is a change of circumstances that is not the fault of either Pilgrim Industries or Celestial City Resort. Since these two parties did not cause the circumstances that made it legally, physically, or commercially impossible to fulfil the contract, the contract can be discharged by the court based on this doctrine. It is also known as Force Majeure.

Billy Dan and Betty Lou were recently married and want to start saving for their dream home. They expect the house they want will cost approximately $247,000. They hope to be able to purchase the house for cash in 12 years. To determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables, click here to view Tables I, II, III, or IV in the appendix. Alternatively, if you calculate the discount factor(s) using a formula, round to six (6) decimal places before using the factor in the problem.
Answer:
Billy Dan and Betty Lou have to invest $11,551 each year to purchase their dream home at the end of 12 years
Explanation:
The requirement of this is missing, that is provided below
How much will Billy Dan and Betty Lou have to invest each year to purchase their dream home at the end of 12 years? Assume an interest rate of 10 percent.
Use the following formula to calculate the amount of yearly investment.
Cost to purchase the house = Annual investment x ( 1 + Interest rate )^numbers of years ) - 1 ) / interest rate
Where
Cost to purchase the house = $247,000
Interest rate = 10%
Numbers of years = 12 years
Annual investment = ?
Placing values in the formula
$247,000 = Annual investment x ( 1 + 10% )^12 ) - 1 ) / 10%
$247,000 = Annual investment x 21.384284
Annual investment = $247,000 / 21.384284
Annual investment = $11,550.54
Annual investment = $11,551
Hence, they have to invest $11,551 each year to be able to purchase the house for cash in 12 years.
Wright Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment, which would have an initial cost of $1,000,000 and a 5-year life. There is no salvage value for the equipment. The increase in cash flow each year of the equipment's life would be as follows: Year 1 $ 379,000 Year 2 $ 354,000 Year 3 $ 289,000 Year 4 $ 234,000 Year 5 $ 189,000 What is the payback period
Answer:
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Year 1 $ 379,000
Year 2 $ 354,000
Year 3 $ 289,000
Year 4 $ 234,000
Year 5 $ 189,000
Initial investment= $1,000,000
The payback period is the time required for the cash flows to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 379,000 - 1,000,000= -621,000
Year 2= 354,000 - 621,000= -267,000
Year 3= 289,000 - 267,000= 22,000
To be more accurate:
(267,000 / 289,000)= 0.923*365= 337
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.

For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31, beginning June 30, 2021. What is the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021
Answer:
The outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule used in calculating the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 (in bold red color).
From the attached amortization schedule, we have:
December 31, 2021 Closing book balance = December 31, 2021 Beginning book balance - December 31, 2021 Discount Amortized = $480,542.41
Therefore, the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.
TaeHwan Company accrues bad debt expense during the year at an amount equal to 3% of credit sales. At the end of the year, a journal entry adjusts the allowance for uncollectible accounts to a desired amount based on an aging of accounts receivable. At the beginning of 2018, the allowance account had a credit balance of $18,000. During 2018, credit sales totaled $480,000 and receivables of $14,000 were written off. The year-end aging indicated that a $21,000 allowance for uncollectible accounts was required. TaeHwan's bad debt expense for 2018 would be:
Answer: $17000
Explanation:
TaeHwan's bad debt expense for 2018 would be calculated as the difference between the desired year end balance and the beginning balance written off. This will be:
= $21000 - ($18000 - $14000)
= $21000 - $4000
= $17000
Therefore, TaeHwan's bad debt expense for 2018 would be $17000.

Assume that you have entered into a fixed for fixed currency swap agreement under which every 6 months you agree to pay 3% on a notional of 110M USD and receive 4% on a notional of 100M EUR. On the date you signed the contract the spot exchange rate is 1.1 USD/EUR. Six months later the spot exchange rate is 1.05 USD/EUR. Your actual payment net of what you receive at the first payment date equals to :__________
Answer: -0.55M USD
Explanation:
The payment made will be:
= 3%/2 × 110M USD
= 0.03/2 × 110M USD
= 1.65M USD
The amount received will be:
= 4%/2 × 100M EUR
= 2% × 100M EUR
= 0.02 × 100M EUR
= 2M EUR
Since exchange rate = 1.1 USD/EUR
2M EUR = 2 × 1.1 = 2.2M USD
Therefore, net payment will be:
= 1.65M - 2.2M
= - 0.55M USD

Hernandez Company has 350,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. During the year, Hernandez declared a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock was $30 per share. Four months later Hernandez declared a $.50 per share cash dividend. As a result of the dividends declared during the year, retained earnings decreased by:_______.
a. $1,242,500.
b. $525,000.
c. $192,500.
d. $175,000.
Answer:
b. $525,000.
Explanation:
Dividends distributions are always made out of the distributable profits found in the Retained Earnings.
The first step thus is to calculate the amount of dividends distributed.
1st Declaration :
Dividends = 350,000 shares x $10 x 10% = $350,000
2nd Declaration :
Dividends = 350,000 shares x $0.50 = $175,000
Therefore,
Total Dividends = $350,000 + $175,000 = $525,000
Conclusion :
As a results of the dividends distribution, retained earnings decreased by $525,000.

Net amount of account receivable = $125000
Logan, a 50% shareholder in Military Gear Incorporated (MG), is comparing the tax consequences of losses from C corporations with losses from S corporations. Assume MG has a $116,000 tax loss for the year, Logan's tax basis in his MG stock was $158,000 at the beginning of the year, and he received $83,000 ordinary income from other sources during the year. Assuming Logan's marginal tax rate is 24 percent, how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation?
Answer:
$13,920
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation
First step is to calculate what Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation
Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation =($83,000*24%)
Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation = $19,920
Second step is to calculate Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation
Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation =[($83,000-$58,000)*24%]
($116,000*50% = $58,000)
Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation=$6,000
Now let calculate how much more tax will Logan pay currently
Logan pay currently = ($19,920-$6,000)
Logan pay currently = $13,920
Therefore how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation will be $13,920
One year ago, Jack and Jill set up a vinegar-bottling firm (called JJVB). Use the question facts to calculate JJVB's opportunity cost of production during its first year of operation.

= 15,000 + 30,000 + 10,000 + (30,000 * 5%) + 40,000 + (25 * 10 * 50 weeks) + (30,000 - 28,000)
= $111,000
Bummerland finds itself in a recession caused, as assumed in class, a sticky nominal (money) wage (W) which is too high to clear the labor market.
Bummerland has a Treasury and a "Federal Reserve" (called the Bummerb¬ank). At a meeting of officials of both agen¬cies, various antirecess¬ionary policies are considered. The economic staffs of both agencies are seriously split on issues such as how interest sensitive investment is and how interest sensitive the demand for money is. However, they are in agreement that the marginal propensity to consume (b) is .75 and the marginal propensity to hold cash (k) is .2. Bummerland has banks, but the reserve requirement is 100%, so they don't create money.
Debate has narrowed to four prospective policies. Your as¬signment is: (1) illustrate these policies using IS,LM diagrams; (2) compare as completely as possible ( if you can't, you must explain what additional information would be required ) the effects of these policies on Y*, r, I*, the real wage, and unemployment. Class format is strongly encour¬aged.
Here are the four policies: (1) a $50 billion increase in the money supply by means of open market opera¬tions; (2) a $50 billion increase in the money supply to be introduced by reducing tax collections; (3) a $50 billion increase in the money supply to be introduced through government spending; (4) a $50 billion increase in unemployment benefits paid for with a tax increase.

Explanation:
is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%
The market price of Northern Mills stock has been relatively volatile and you think this volatility will continue for a couple more months. Thus, you decide to purchase a two-month European call option on this stock with a strike price of $30 and an option price of $1.60. You also purchase a two-month European put option on the stock with a strike price of $30 and an option price of $.20. Contracts are on 100 shares. What will be your net profit or loss on these option positions if the stock price is $36 on the day the options expire
Answer:
$420
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be your net profit or loss
First step is to calculate Net Profit from call option Using this formula
Net Profit from call option = (Gain from Exercising Call Option - Option Premium paid) * Size of the Contract
Let plug in the formula
Net Profit from call option= (($36 - $30) - $1.60) × 100 Shares
Net Profit from call option= $440
Second step is to calculate Net Loss from put option
Using this formula
Net Loss from put option = (Option Premium paid) * Size of the Contract
Let plug in the formula
Net Loss from put option = $0.20 × 100 Share
Net Loss from put option = $20
Now let calculate the net profit using this formula
Net profit= Net Profit from Call Option - Net loss from Put Option
Let plug in the formula
Net profit= $440 - $20
Net profit= $420
Therefore What will be your net profit is $420

If Zoom's equity cost of capital is and it has million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Answer:
The share price is $15.67 per share
Explanation:
The above mentioned question is missing few components. I have added them to explain on how the question would be solved if all the variables were provided. Please note the additions in bold text below. The answer of which is given afterwards.
Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $4.7 million and repurchase $4.7 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $9.4 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 12.5% and it has $4.8 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Solution mentioned below:
First we calculate the value of the enterprise by dividing the amount planned to be spent on dividends from cost of capital.
= $9.4 million / 0.125
= $75.2 million
Now to calculate price per share we divide the Enterprise value from the share outstanding.
= $75.2 million / $4.8 million
= $15.67 per share
