Answer:
Kevin has dividend income of:_______
a. $150,000.
Explanation:
Kevin became a 50% shareholder of Amaryllis in July. So, Kevin is entitled to receive 50% of any distributions made by Amaryllis from the July date. Since Amaryllis distributed $300,000 on November 1, Kevin will receive a dividend income equivalent to $150,000 from Amaryllis. The remaining 50% goes to his partner in business. Kevin could not be entitled to the distribution made on February 15, by which date he was not yet a shareholder of Amaryllis.

Suppose the rate of inflation was 2 percent in India from 2008-2012 and, over that same period, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.7 percent. Based on these inflation trends, which of the following is true?
a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Answer:
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Explanation:
Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.
As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.
Bella Pool Company sells prefabricated pools that cost $80,000 to customers for $144,000. The sales price includes an installation fee, which is valued at $20,000. The fair value of the pool is $128,000. The installation is considered a separate performance obligation and is expected to take 3 months to complete. The transaction price allocated to the pool and the installation is
Answer:
The transaction price allocated to the pool and the installation is $124,540.54 and $19,459.46 respectively.
Explanation:
Price Allocation to Pool = $144,000 * (128,000 / (128,000 + 20,000))
Price Allocation to Pool = $144,000 * 0.864865
Price Allocation to Pool = $124,540.54
Price Allocation to Installation = $144,000 * (20,000 / (128,000 + 20,000))
Price Allocation to Installation = $144,000 * 0.135135
Price Allocation to Installation = $19,459.46
Ornaments, Inc., is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $597,000 and 26,200 shares of stock outstanding. Management believes the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $84,900 if the economy is normal. If there is a recession, EBIT will be 20 percent lower, and if there is a boom, EBIT will be 30 percent higher. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the EPS in a recession
Answer:
The EPS in a recession is $1.71.
Explanation:
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks = ($84,900 - ($84,900 × 0.34)) × 80 %
= $44,827.20
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks = 26,200 shares
Earnings per share (EPS) = $44,827.20 ÷ 26,200 shares
= $1.71

Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
Answer:
14.7%
Explanation:
The computation of return on investment is shown below:
Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100
where,
Net Income is
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense
= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000
= $603,000
And,
Average total assets = $4,100,000
So,
Return on Investment is
= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100
= 14.7%

A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 9.6%
Explanation:
The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.
Solution
Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium
Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%
Cost of equity = 9.6%

Society's welfare is paramount. b. Morality should be a business practice. c. Corporate responsibility is essential. d. The golden rule should be written in stone.
Answer:
a. Society's welfare is paramount.
Explanation:
A commission on the freedom of press also known as "The Hutchins Commission" was formed in the United States of America (USA) during the World War II (WWII) by Robert Maynard Hutchins.
In 1947 after deliberating on the issues of press for four (4) years, the Hutchins Commission concluded that society's welfare is paramount, this is one of the two fundamental issues that the recommendations of the 1947 Hutchins Commission on social responsibility in journalism is based on. The commission stated that the development and stability of a society is influenced by the operations of the press and as such it is very important that the mass media (press) is socially responsible.
Some of the guidelines or recommendations made by the Hutchins Commission for the press are;
1. Present meaningful, reliable and accurate news to the general public; not opinions.
2. Present an overall view of what was known about society.
3. Avail the citizens an opportunity for constructive criticism and exchange of comment about the government.
a company bought a piece of equipment for A200 and expects to use it for eight years. The company that plans to
Answer:
The correct option b. $2,567.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A company bought a piece of equipment for $49,200 and expects to use it for eight years. The company then plans to sell it for $4,000. The company has already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60. Using the double-declining-balance method, what is the company's annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
a. $11,300.
b. $2,567.
c. $19,200.
d. $1,642.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the annual depreciation expenses.
Double declining depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation technique due to the fact the depreciation expenses are charged faster under it than under straight-line depreciation method.
The depreciation of double declining method is calculated by by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.
From the question, the already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60 is the accumulated depreciation expenses for the 7th year.
Since the upcoming year is the 8th year which is the last year, the depreciation expense for it can be calculated as by adjusting for the residual value of $4,000 follows:
Equipment cost = $49,200
Accumulated Depreciation = $42,632.60
Residual value = $4,000
Estimated useful life = 8 years
Therefore, we have:
Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.125, or 12.50%
Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%
Beginning book value of the equipment in the upcoming year or in the 8th year = Equipment cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $49,200 - $42,632.60 = $6,567.40
Annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year or for the 8th year = Beginning book value of the equipment - Residual value = $6,567.40 - $4,000 = $2,567
Therefore, the correct option b. $2,567.
Kaskin, Inc., stock has a beta of 1.2 and Quinn, Inc., stock has a beta of 0.6. Which of the following statements is most accurate? The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn. The stock of Kaskin has more total risk than Quinn. The stock of Quinn has more systematic risk than that of Kaskin.
Answer:
The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn.
Explanation:
Option A “The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn” is more accurate because the expected return is calculated by multiplying the risk premium with beta value and then adding with risk-free return. However, if the beta value is high, then the magnitude after multiplying with the risk premium will be high. Moreover, is magnitude will be added to risk-free return to find the expected return. Thus, it can be seen that Kaskin has high beta 1.2 as compared to Quinn’s beta value 0.6. So, the Kaskin has a higher expected return.

Which of the following is a true statement about the limitation on business interest deductions? This limitation is not imposed on businesses with average annual gross receipts of $25 million of less for the prior three taxable years. A. Interest disallowed by this limitation is carried back three years and then forward five years B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income C. This limitation is not imposed on businesses with average annual gross receipts of $26 million or less for the prior three taxable years D. All of the choices are false E. All of the choices are true
Answer:
Limitation on Business Interest Deductions:
B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income
Explanation:
30% (or 50% for years 2019 and 2020, as amended by the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of a business is the limit of business interest expense that is allowed by the IRS. The excess after this limitation may be carried forward by the tax paying organization to future tax years indefinitely until the interest expense is completely applied.
Following the CARES Act, "the business interest expense deduction limitation does not apply to certain small businesses whose gross receipts are $26 million or less, electing real property trades or businesses, electing farming businesses, and certain regulated public utilities. The $26 million gross receipts threshold, which applies for the 2020 tax year, is adjusted annually for inflation."
Assume the Apple division of the Gala Company had the following results last year (in thousands). Managements required rate of return is 10% and the weighted average cost of capital is 8%. Its effective tax rate is 30%. What is Apple division's residual income
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
The computation of the residual income for each division is shown below:
As we know that
Residual income = Operating income - target income
where,
Operating income is given in the question
And, the target income could be calculated by
= Average invested assets × required rate of return
= $4,500,000 × 10%
= $450,000
So, the residual income is
= $500,000 - $450,000
= $50,000

A firm recently reported EBITDA of $3.95 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. The firm's expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital totaled $1.2 million. How much was its free cash flow, in millions
Answer:
Free cash flow=$2.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much was its free cash flow, in millions
Using this formula
Free cash flow =[ (Operating income * (1- tax rate) + Depreciation- Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital]
Where,
Operating income =$3.95
(1- tax rate) = (1 - .40)
Depreciation=$1.20
Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital=$1.2
Let plug in the formula
Free cash flow = [($3.95 * (1 - .40) + $1.20 - $1.2]
Free cash flow=$3.95*0.60+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$3.57-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37
Therefore the amount of its free cash flow, in millions will be $2.37

A company developed the following per-unit standards for its product: 2 gallons of direct materials at $8 per gallon. Last month, 2200 gallons of direct materials were purchased for $16720. The direct materials price variance for last month was
Answer:
$880 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct materials price variance for last month is shown below:-
Direct material price variance = Actual quantity × (Standard price - Actual price)
= 2,200 × ($8 - ($16,720 ÷ 2,200)
= 2,200 × ($8 - 7.6)
= 2,200 × $0.4
= $880 Favorable
Therefore for computing the direct materials price variance for last month we simply applied the above formula.
BMM Industries pays a dividend of $2 per quarter. The dividend yield on its stock is reported at 4.8%. What is the stock price?
Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
$29.630
Explanation:
For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital
= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million
= $375 million
Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)
= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)
= $375 million ÷ 0.045
= $8,333.33 million
Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt
= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million
= $5,333.33 million
Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares
= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million
= $29.630

In the current year tax year Jacob sold all stock received as dividend that's 2000 shares for $18000
The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share
profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year
