Michael Company reports Total Assets of $254,000, Common Stock of $50,000, and Retained Earnings of $94,000. What are total liabilities at the end of the first year
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
Accounting equation : Assets - liabilities = Shareholder's equity
Liabilities = Assets - Shareholder's equity
Equity = $50,000 + $94,000 = $144,000
$254,000 - $144,000 = $110,000
Webster Corporation's monthly projected general and administrative expenses include $5,600 administrative salaries, $3,000 of other cash administrative expenses, $1,650 of depreciation expense on the administrative equipment, and .5% monthly interest on an outstanding bank loan of $16,000. Compute the total general and administrative expenses to be reported on the general and administrative expense budget per month.
Answer:Total general and administrative expenses budget per month =$10,250
Explanation:
Total general and administrative expenses are the compulsory costs to ensure that a company's day to day operations is maintained whether or not the company is making profit.
General and administrative expenses includes Rent, Utility bills, insurance wages and benefits, depreciation of office furnitures, Office supplies and are regarded as operating expenses and therefore interest paid on a bank loan is not an operating expenses but a financing activities and will not be considered as an administrative expense.
Administrative expenses= administrative Salaries+Other cash administrative expenses+Depreciation
=$5,600+$3,000+$1,650
=$10,250

You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 7 percent coupons, and currently have 7 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 5 years to maturity and Bond B has 10 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest changes unexpectedly to 6 percent, the price of Bond A will change by _____ percent and the price of Bond B will change by _____ percent.
Answer:
the price of Bond A will change by 4.21% and the price of Bond B will change by 7.36%.
Explanation:
Bonds A and B
current bond price $1,000
interest rate 7%
Bond A matures in 5 years, annual payments
Bond B matures in 10 years, annual payments
if market interest decreases to 6%
Bond A:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $747.26
$70 x 4.2124 (annuity factor, 6%, 5 periods) = $294.87
market price = $1,042.13
% change = 4.21%
Bond B:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ = $558.39
$70 x 7.3601 (annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $515.21
market price = $1,073.60
% change = 7.36%

Explanation:
Bon Nebo Co. sold 25,000 annual subscriptions of Bjorn 20XX for $85 during December 2014. These new subscribers will receive monthly issues, beginning in January 2015. In addition, the business had taxable income of $840,000 during the first calendar quarter of 2015. The federal tax rate is 40%. A quarterly tax payment will be made on April 12, 2015.
Prepare the Current Liabilities section of the balance sheet for Bon Nebo Co. on March 31, 2015.
Answer:
Current Liabilities
Federal Income Taxes Payable $336,000
Advances on Magazine Subscriptions $1,593,750
Total Current Liabilities $1,929,750
Explanation:
Federal Income Taxes Payable
This is a current Liability as it falls under a period of a year. As March ends the first quarter, the quarterly tax is;
= 840,000 x 40%
= $336,000
Advances on Magazine Subscriptions
They are to deliver monthly subscriptions for 12 months to the tune of 25,000 copies which they have already been paid for. Under the Accrual system they cannot recognize this as revenue until they have fulfilled their obligation to deliver the magazines and until then, they are current Liabilities. As of end of March, they have fulfilled their obligations for 3 months leaving 9 in the year.
= 25,000 x $85 x 9/12
=$1,593,750
Your firm has estimated the following cash flows for two mutually exclusive capital investment projects. The firm's required rate of return is 13%.
Year Project A Cash Flow Project B Cash Flow
0 -$100,000 -$100,000
1 28,900 48,000
2 28,900 40,000
3 28,900 40,000
4 28,900 5 28,900
Which of the following statements best describes projects A and B?
a) Project A should be accepted because it has the highest NPV.
b) Project A should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
d) Both projects should be accepted because they have positive NPVs and EAAs.
e) Neither project is acceptable.
Answer:
c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
Explanation:
EAA is the annuity payment that is equal to the value of the NPV
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
NPV for project A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$100,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $28,900
I = 13%
NPV = $1647.98
Please find attached the formula used i calculating EAA = $468.54
NPV for project B
Cash flow in year 0 = -$100,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $48,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $40,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $40,000
I = 13%
NPV = $1,525.75
EAA = $646.19
When comparing projects with unequal lives, choose the project with the higher EAA. This is project B. Only project B can be chosen because the projects are mutually exclusive.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
Explanation:
First determine the Net Present Value of Project A and Project B.
Using a Financial Calculator the Net Present Values will be
Project A
-$100,000 CFj
$28,900 CFj
$28,900 CFj
$28,900 CFj
$28,900 CFj
13% I/YR
Shift NPV - $14,037.78
Project B
-$100,000 CFj
$48,000 CFj
$40,000 CFj
$40,000 CFj
$28,900 CFj
13% I/YR
Shift NPV $19250.66
The only correct statement is that Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
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.
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%
Which of the following is not a factor that a manager should bear in mind when estimating a project's revenues and costs?
A) Sales of a product will typically accelerate, stabilize, and then decline as the product becomes outdated or faces increased competition.
B) A new product typically has its highest sales immediately after release as customers are attracted by the novelty of the product.
C) The prices of technology products tend to fall over time as newer, superior technologies emerge and production costs decline.
D) Prices and costs tend to rise with the general level of inflation in the economy.
Answer:
B) A new product typically has its highest sales immediately after release as customers are attracted by the novelty of the product.
Explanation:
When a manager is implementing and executing a project, there are certain factors to be considered for revenue and costs associated with the project.
For instance, that a new product typically has its highest sales immediately after release as customers are attracted by the novelty of the product is not a factor that a manager should bear in mind when estimating a project's revenues and costs. This is simply because it is not guaranteed that all new products introduced to the market would be accepted or attractive to customers due to economical factors such scale of preference and opportunity costs.
Ideally, the factors to be considered by a manager when estimating a project's revenues and costs are;
1. Sales of a product will typically accelerate, stabilize, and then decline as the product becomes outdated or faces increased competition.
2. The prices of technology products tend to fall over time as newer, superior technologies emerge and production costs decline.
3. Prices and costs tend to rise with the general level of inflation in the economy.
The total factory overhead for Bardot Marine Company is budgeted for the year at $1,038,750, divided into two departments: Fabrication, $645,000, and Assembly, $393,750. Bardot Marine manufactures two types of boats: speedboats and bass boats. The speedboats require four direct labor hours in Fabrication and three direct labor hours in Assembly. The bass boats require two direct labor hours in Fabrication and four direct labor hours in Assembly. Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.
When required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.
a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year in each department.
Fabrication direct labor hours
Assembly direct labor hours
b. Determine the departmental factory overhead rates for both departments.
Fabrication $ per dlh
Assembly $ per dlh
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
Speedboat: $ per unit
Bass boat: $ per unit
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fabrication, $645,000
Assembly, $393,750.
Speedboats:
Fabrication Direct labor hours= 4
Assembly Direct labor hours= 3
Bassboats:
Fabrication Direct labor hours= 2
Assembly Direct labor hours= 4
Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.
First, we need to calculate the budgeted direct labor hours:
Fabrication= 4*5,000 + 2*5,000= 30,000
Assembly= 3*5,000 + 4*5,000= 35,000
Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Fabrication= 645,000/30,000= $21.5 per direct labor hour
Assembly= 393,750/35,000= $11.25 per direct labor hour
Finally, we can allocate overhead to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Speedboat= 4*21.5 + 3*11.25= $119.75
Bassboat= 2*21.5 + 4*11.25= $88
When constructing a risky portfolio consisting only of risky assets, an investment manager should offer _____.
Answer:
a customized risky portfolio to each client based on their risk aversion
Explanation:
It is always believed that when it comes to investment analysis or issue, there are higher returns for higher risk portfolios and lower returns for lower risk portfolios.
Therefore, in order to make a better decision, it is pertinent to note that, the level of risk aversion varies according to each or individual investor.
Hence, when constructing a risky portfolio consisting only of risky assets, an investment manager should offer a customized risky portfolio to each client based on their risk aversion.
Handbags, Inc. had 200 units of inventory on hand at the end of the year. These were recorded at a cost of $18 each using the last−in, first−out (LIFO) method. The current replacement cost is $16 per unit. The selling price charged by Handbags, Inc. for each finished product is $27. In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower−of−cost−or−market rule, the Cost of Goods Sold will be ________.
Answer:
debited by $400
Explanation:
Inventory on hand at the beginning × each inventory cost
= 200 units × $18
= $3,600
Inventory on hand at the beginning × Current replacement cost
= 200 units × $16 per unit
= $3,200
Therefore;
$3,600 - $3,200 = $400 increase of cost of goods sold which is debit.
Today’s business headlines frequently cite pensions being underfunded, thus costing companies more in contributions to their pension fund as well as pensioners risking not receiving what they had planned for retirement. This has been caused by underperformance of the pension fund itself and the over promising of benefits to retirees. Take the following example:_______.
Assume $20m was invested today to provide for pension payments for a group of employees. Assume also that the average return on these funds was 8.5%
1. How big will the fund be in 25 years?
2. Suppose at year 12 the fund decreased in value by 30%. What returns would be required for the next 13 years to achieve the 25 year amount?
3. Advisor's counseled the company that a conservative investment return of 6% annually for the next 13 years would be advisable and that the company would have to contribute annually to make up the shortfall. How much would have to be contributed annually beginning year 13 if the fund earned 6% in order to achieve the 25 year goal?
Please show the method used to solve this problem.
Answer:
1) in 25 years, the pension fund should equal:
future value = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
FV = $20,000,000 x (1 + 8.5%)²⁵ = $153,735,247
2) the value in 12 years = $20,000,000 x (1 - 30%) = $14,000,000
future value = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
$153,735,247 = $14,000,000 x (1 + interest rate)¹³
(1 + interest rate)¹³ = $153,735,247 / $14,000,000 = 10.981
¹³√(1 + interest rate)¹³ = ¹³√10.981
1 + interest rate = 1.2024
interest rate = 1.2024 - 1 = 20.24%
3) if the fund only earns 6%, in 13 years it will be worth:
FV = $14,000,000 (1 + 6%)¹³ = $29,860,996
so you need $153,735,247 - $29,860,996 = $123,874,251 more
we need to use the future value of an annuity formula:
FV of an annuity = annuity payment x annuity factor
FV of an annuity = $123,874,251annuity payment = ?annuity factor (6%, 13 periods) = 18.882annuity payment = $123,874,251 / 18.882 = $6,560,441
Expenses that are not easily associated with a specific department, and which are incurred for the joint benefit of more than one department, are:
Answer:Indirect Expenses
Explanation: Indirect Expenses are those expenses which are not directly related to the product manufactured or service rendered by a company but are generally incurred in the operating and running of a business and cannot be traced to a particular department because the benefits are enjoyed collectively-The reason why its expenses are usually shared among departments or sectors.
Examples of indirect expenses include Rent, salaries to employees, legal charges, insurance of building, depreciation, printing charges, office expenses, telephone bills, advertising, marketing, stationery etc.
Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?
Answer:
The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%
Explanation:
Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence
$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20
(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
Taking 10th root at each side,
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]
1+r = 1.1597
r = 1.1597 - 1
r = 0.1597
r= 15.97%
The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate
Answer:
Explanation:
The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.
Hence,
Par Value = $800
Face Value = $1,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
Since the interest is semi annual
i = 8% / 2 = 4%
CF = $15.34
Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%
A stock had returns of 9.62 percent, −14.65 percent, 19.85 percent, 25.35 percent, and 7.65 percent over the past five years. What was the geometric average return for this stock?
Answer:
The geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
Explanation:
Geometric average return refers to the return which will result in the correct compounded dollars at the end of the time period.
Geometric average return can be computed using the following formula:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + r1)(1 + r2) ... (1 + rn)]^(1/n)} - 1 ......... (1)
Where r is returns from year 1 to year n.
For the stock in the question, we have:
r1 = 9.62%, 0.0962
r2 = -14.65%, or -0.1465
r3 = 19.85%, or 0.1985
r4 = 25.35%, or 0.2535
r5 = 7.65%, or 0.0765
n = 5
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + 0.0962)(1 - 0.1465)(1 + 0.1985)(1 + 0.2535)(1 + 0.0765)]^(1/5)} - 1
Geometric average return = {1.51310732605096^0.20} - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0864, or 8.64%
Therefore, the geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
The fixed cost of a production system is $20,000, and the variable cost per unit product is $17. The product has a revenue of $28 per unit. Calculate the breakeven quantity and determine the profit or loss amount when 1,500 units are produced. g
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $20,000
Unitary variable cost= $17
Selling price= $28 per unit.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 20,000 / (28 - 17)
Break-even point in units= 1,818 units
Now, the profit for 1,500 units:
Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500

Miss. Asma works as a sales executive at HBL Bank, is upset at the way her manager, Sadaf, always calls her in for one-on-one meetings to discuss her underperformance. Though Asma makes a higher number of sales calls and works longer hours than last year, her sales figures are still low. She knows that the main reason behind her underperformance is the recent economic meltdown in the country. However, her manager feels that Asma's underperformance is the result of her laid-back attitude and has nothing to do with external factors. In this situation, what kind of behavior/Attitude Sadaf is showing and how it can be replicate
Answer:
Sadaf's behavior exemplifies Fundamental attribution error.
It can be replicated if Sadaf does not try to understand Asma's point of view of her underperformance.
Explanation:
The Fundamental Attribution Error is a type of error by the people of over-emphasizing the characteristics of a person while ignoring the situational factors. In such type of cognitive bias, people tend to instil the personal trait of other or judging them for their laid-back behavior based on their personal trait rather than thinking of any possibility of external situation that may have caused it.
In the given situation, Sadaf is showing fundamental attribution error behavior by instilling to Asma's underperformance with her laid-back behavior instead of asking her the real problem.
This attribution error can be replicated if Sadaf did not ask Asam for the reason behind her underperformance.

Year Returns
1 12.05%
2 - 16.76%
3 21.64%
4 25.41%
5 9.29%
Total returns = 51.63%
Arithmetic average is The sum of all of the numbers in a considered list divided by the number of items of the list.
Therefore,
Arithmetic average return = Sum of year 1 to year 5 returns / number of items(year)
= 51.63% / 5
= 10.326%

The Murdock Corporation's Statement of Cash Flows is one of the financial statements that are prepared at the end of the accounting period to show the inflow and outflow of cash during the period. It shows the cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities of the corporation. There are two methods for preparing this statement: the direct method and the indirect method. The direct method shows the actual inflows and outflows for operating activities while the indirect method starts with the net income to reconcile the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis.
What is the value of a perpetuity that pays $100 every 3 months forever? The interest rate quoted on an APR basis is 6%.
Answer:
$6,666.67
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the value of a perpetuity is shown below:-
Value of Perpetuity = Quarterly Payment ÷ Quarterly Interest Rate
Now, we will put the values into the above formula to reach the value of a perpetuity
= $100 ÷ (6% ÷ 4)
= $100 ÷ 0.0150
= $6,666.67
Therefore for computing the value of perpetuity we simply applied the above formula.
Beverages manufactures its own . The bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a lightweight yet strong plastic. uses as much PET recycled resin pellets in its bottles as it can, both because using recycled PET helps to meet its sustainability goals and because recycled PET is less expensive than virgin PET.
Riley is continuing to search for ways to reduce its costs and its impact on the environment. PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.
Required:
a. Using the original data (before any redesign of soda bottles ), prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total.
b. Assume that the company retrofits the soda bottle molds and changes the plastic formulation slightly so that less PET plastic is used in each bottle. Now prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total for this possible scenario.
c. Compare the cost of PET plastic for Requirement 1 (original data) and for Requirement 2 (making change to using less PET.) What is the direct material cost savings from making the change to using less PET?
Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough space here.
C) total savings = previous materials costs - total cost per year after retrofitting - cost of retrofitting the molding machine = $137,105.10 - $102,168.00 - $22,112 = $12,825.10
Rogers, a national manufacturer of lawn-mowing and snow-blowing equipment, segments its business according to customer type: Professional and Residential. Assume the following divisional information was available for the past year (in thousands of dollars):
Sales Operating Income Total Assets
Residential $850,000 $68,000 $200,000
Professional $1,095,000 $153,300 $365,000
Assume that management has a 25% target rate of return for each division.
Requirements

Answer:
A.Residential 34%
Professional 42%
B.Residential 8%
Professional 14%
C.Residential 4.25%
Professional 3%
D.Residential 34%
Professional 42%
E.Residential $18,000.00
Professional $62,050.00
Explanation:
A.Calculation for each division’s ROI
Using this formula
Return on Investment
=Net Income / Average Invested Assets
Let plug in the formula
Residential $68,000.00/$200,000.00 = 34.00%
Professional $153,300.00/$365,000.00 = 42.00%
B.Calculation for each division’s sales margin. Interpret your results
Using this formula
Sales Margin= Operating income/Sales
Let plug in the formula
Residential $68,000.00/$850,000.00 = 8.00%
Professional $153,300.00/$1,095,000.00 = 14.00%
C.Calculation for each division’s capital turnover
Using this formula
Capital Turnover=Sales/Average operating assets
Let plug in the formula
Residential $850,000.00 /$200,000.00 = 4.25
Professional $1,095,000.00/$365,000.00 = 3.00
D.Using the expanded ROI formula to confirm the results from Requirement a.
Using this formula
Return on Investment=Profit Margin * Investment Turnover
Let plug in the formula
Residential 8.00% * 4.25% 34.0%
Professional 14.00% * 3.00% 42.0%
E.Calculation for each division’s residual income (RI)
Residential Professional
Average investment
$200,000.00 $365,000.00
×Target return 25% 25%

Residual income $18,000.00 $62,050.00
People decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. The value of the marginal propensity to consume is ________ and the value of the spending multiplier is ________.
Answer: 0.8; 5
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that people decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. We should note that the addition of the marginal prospensity to consume(MPC) and the marginal prospensity to save(MPS) will be equal to 1.
Therefore, the value of the marginal propensity to consume will be:
= 1 - 20%
= 1 - 0.2
= 0.8
The value of the spending multiplier will be calculated as:
= 1/MPS
= 1/0.2
= 5
