Answer:
Option D. $15,068
Explanation:
The share of Ben will 40% of the loss if he does not sells the shares which is:
Ben's Share of Loss = $50,000 * 40% = $20,000
But Ben sold his 40% to Joe on March 31, 2011. This means 90/365 days of the year, Ben owned the shares. Hence:
Ben's share of loss = $20,000 * 90/ 365 = $4,931.5
The remainder is Joe's share of loss which is:
Joe's Share of Loss = $20,000 - $4,931.5 = $15,068
Hence the option D is correct.
Emira wants to buy a classic drawing from an art centre in Kuala Lumpur. She managed to secure a painting by a renowned Malaysian artist that costs her RM99,800. Currently, she only has RM12,650 in her savings account and she intends to use 70% of her saving to fund the purchase. If she borrows the remaining amount from Bank Atlantis that levies 4.77% of interest rates, determine the total interest payment that she will pay if the agreement takes 10 years of settlement.
Answer:
RM23,617.80
Explanation:
cost of the painting RM99,800
she has RM12,650 on her bank account and she will use 70% = RM8,855 as down payment. She will borrow the rest = RM99,800 - RM8,855 = RM90,945
interest charged on the loan 4.77% / 12 = 0.3975%
120 monthly periods (10 years)
using the present value formula to determine the monthly payment:
PV = monthly payment x annuity factor
monthly payment = PV / annuity factor
PV = 90,945
annuity factor (120 periods, 0.3975%) = 95.26168
monthly payment = 90,945 / 95.26168 = 954.69
total payments = 120 x 954.69 = RM114,562.80
interests paid = RM114,562.80 - RM90,945 = RM23,617.80
If a company would still have a cash flow item even if they rejected potential new Project A, should this particular cash flow item be included in Project A's cash flow analysis?
Answer: No
Explanation:
When computing a project analysis for a project, only relevant cash flow should be included in the Project's cash flow analysis. Relevant cash-flow are those that will only occur if the project was embarked on.
If the cash flow in question is still going to occur even if the project wasn't initiated as is the case with Project A, it is not a relevant cash-flow and should not be included in the cash-flow analysis.

2020 2019
Net sales $5,200 $5,500
Cost of goods sold 3,484 3,830
Net income 78 123
Accounts receivable 82 103
Inventory 1,146 1,262
Total assets 2,990 3,510
Total common stockholders’ equity 992 1,031
Required:
Compute the following ratios for 2020.
Answer:
Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%
Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6
Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%
Return on common stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%
Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%
1. Noor Patel has had a busy year! She decided to take a cross-country adventure. Along the way, she won a new car on "The Price Is Right" (valued at $15,500) and won $500 on a scratch-off lottery ticket (the first time she ever played). She also signed up for a credit card to start the trip and was given a sign-up bonus of $100. How much will she have to include in her federal taxable income?
2A. What is the amount of taxes for a head of house hold with a taxable income of $57,500 with a rate of 25%?
B. What is the amount of taxes for a single person with a taxable income of $35,000 with a rate of 15%?
C. What is the amount of taxes for a married couple filling jointly with a taxable income of $70,700 with a rate of 15%?
Answer:
1. 16,100
Explanation:
To get how much she would include in her federal taxable income. We would have to add up these values:
The car won on the price is right + scratch off lottery + sign up bonus.
15,500 + 500 + 100
=$16,100
2a.
head of household
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(37650 - 9275)*15% = 4256.1
(57500 - 37650)*25% = 4962.5
total = 927.5 + 4256.1 + 4962.5
= 10146.1
2b
single person
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(35000-9275)*10% = 3858.75
total = 927.5 + 3858.75
= 4786.25
2c
for married couple
0 to 18550 at 10% = 1855
(70700-1855)*15% = 7822.5
total = 1855 + 7822.5
=9677.5
If D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00 per unit per month, a) What is the economic order quantity? The EOQ is 601601 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) How does your answer change if the holding cost doubles? The EOQ is 425425 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What if the holding cost drops in half? The EOQ is nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Answer: A) The Economic Order Quantity is 601 units.
B)The Economic Order Quantity is 425 units.
C )The Economic Order Quantity is 849 units
Explanation:
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{ 2 x Dx S/ H}[/tex]
where D= demand
S = Order cost
H= holding cost.
a)when D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2x D x S /H}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 x 8,200 x 44 /2 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{360,800}[/tex] = 600.666= 601 units
b) if the holding cost doubles, holding cost = HX 2 = 2 X 2 = 4
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8,200 X 44 / 2 X $2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{180,400}[/tex] = 424.73 = 425units
C) if the holding cost drops in half, holding cost = H/2 = 2 X 1/2 = 1
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8200 x 44/1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{721,600}[/tex] = 849.47 = 849units

Answer:
$3,709,000
Explanation:
7/1 Time weighted amount = $3,114,000 * 6/12 = $1,557,000
9/1 Time weighted amount = $6,456,000 * 4/12 = $2,152,000
12/31 Time weighted amount = $5,950,000 * 0/12 = $0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = 7/1 Time weighted amount + 9/1 Time weighted amount + 12/31 Time weighted amount
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $1,557,000 + $2,152,000 + 0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $3,709,000

Burke's Corner currently sells blue jeans and T-shirts. Management is considering adding fleece tops to its inventory to provide a cooler weather option. The tops would sell for $53 each with expected sales of 4,300 tops annually. By adding the fleece tops, management feels the firm will sell an additional 285 pairs of jeans at $65 a pair and 420 fewer T-shirts at $26 each. The variable cost per unit is $36 on the jeans, $16 on the T-shirts, and $31 on the fleece tops. With the new item, the depreciation expense is $33,000 a year and the fixed costs are $76,000 annually. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer: $26,282.25
Explanation:
The operating cash-flow will be the amount of cash the company got from sales less the amount they would have to pay on taxes.
Cash from tops
= (Sales price - Variable costs) * quantity
= ( 53 - 31) * 4,300
= $94,600
Cash from jeans
= ( 65 - 36) * 285
= $8,265
Cash from jeans
= (26 - 16) * -420
= -$4,200
As this deals with cash, a tax adjusted depreciation will need to be added back because it is a non cash expense and fixed costs will have to be deducted.
Pre-tax operating cash-flow = 94,600 + 8,265 - 4,200 - 76,000
= $22,665
Post-tax Project Operating cash-flow
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (depreciation * tax)
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (33,000 * 0.35)
= $14,732.25 + 11,550
= $26,282.25
If the economy is normal, Charleston Freight stock is expected to return 16.5 percent. If the economy falls into a recession, the stock's return is projected at a negative 11.6 percent. The probability of a normal economy is 70 percent while the probability of a recession is 30 percent. What is the variance of the returns on this stock
Answer:
Variance of the returns of this stock is 0.01658177
Explanation:
Mean return = 0.7 * 16.5% + 0.3*-11.6%
Mean return = 0.1155 - 0.0348
Mean return = 0.0807
Mean return = 8.07%
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (16.5%-8.07%)^2 + 0.3 * (-11.6%-8.07%)^2
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (8.43%)^2 + 0.3 * (-19.67%)^2
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (0.0843)^2 + 0.3 * (-0.1967)^2
Variance of the return = 0.0049745 + 0.011607267
Variance of the return = 0.01658177

An investment adviser representative's friend provides him with a list of 10 prospective clients. The representative agrees to pay his friend a referral fee for each person on the list that opens an account with the adviser. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: C. The arrangement is permitted only if it is in writing between the investment adviser and the friend and the arrangement is disclosed in writing to any customer opening an account
Explanation:
The friend in this case will be ruled to be a Solicitor under SEC Rules as they are referring clients to the Investment Adviser for a fee.
As such this business relationship between the friend and the Investment Adviser representative will fall under SEC Rule 206(4)-3 Cash payments for client solicitations. This rule makes it clear amongst other things that the investment adviser will have to prepare a written disclosure document which will inform any customer opening an account of the agreement between the adviser and his friend.
Southland Corporation has a present capital structure consisting of common stock (10 million shares) and debt ($150 million, 8% coupon rate). The company needs to raise $60 million and is undecided between two financing plans. Plan A: Equity financing. Under this plan, an additional common stock will be sold at $15 per share. Plan B: Debt financing. Under this plan, the firm will issue 10% coupon bonds. At what level of operating income (EBIT) will the firm be indifferent between the two plans? Assume a 40% marginal tax rate.
Answer:
The level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.
Explanation:
Indifferent level of EBIT refers to the EBIT level where the he Earnings Per Share (EPS) two alternative financial plans are the same.
Indifferent level of EBIT can be calculated using the following formula:
[(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SA = [(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SB .................... (1)
Where:
EBIT = Indifference level of EBIT
FA = Fixed interest costs under plan B = Interest on existing debt = $150 * 8% = $12 million
FB = Fixed interest costs under plan A = Interest on existing debt + Interest on new debt = ($150 * 8%) + ($60 * 10%) = $18 million
T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40
SA = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan B = Existing number of shares + New number of shares = 10 million + ($60 million / $15) = 10 million + 4 million = 14 million
SB = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan A = Existing number of shares = 10 million
Substiuting the values into equation (1) and solve for EBIT, we have:
[(EBIT - 12) * (1 - 0.40)] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * (1 - 0.40)] / 10
[(EBIT - 12) * 0.60] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * 0.60] / 10
[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] / 14 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] / 10
[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] * 10 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] * 14
EBIT6 - 72 = EBIT8.40 - 151.20
-72 + 151.20 = EBIT8.40 - EBIT6
EBIT2.40 = 79.20
EBIT = 79.20 / 2.40
EBIT = $33 million
Therefore, the level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.
"Your customer has been declared legally incompetent and his daughter has presented the proper legal papers appointing her as the guardian. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: B. Trading instructions can be accepted only from the daughter
Explanation:
The customer has been declared legally incompetent which means that he should not be making decisions that have to do with something as serious as trading instructions as he will not be able to comprehend them.
The only person that should therefore take over such roles would be his daughter who is a legal guardian. As she is not his guardian, she is able to take such decisions for him and so the trading instructions should be accepted only from the daughter.
Cheyenne Corp. had the following transactions that took place during the year:I.Recorded credit sales of $2250II.Collected $1350 from customersIII.Recorded sales returns of $450 and credited the customer's account.What is the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow?a) No Effectb) Cannot be determinedc) Increased) Decrease
Answer:
The correct option is d) Decrease.
Explanation:
Free cash flow (FCF) can be described as the cash that is generated by a company after cash outflows required to support operations and maintain the capital assets of the company have been accounted for.
Therefore, FCF can be calculated by adjusting for non-cash expenses, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures to reconcile net income.
The total effect of these transactions on free cash flow can be determined by first calculating the account receivable for the year as follows:
Calculation of account receivable for the year:
Particular Amount ($)
Credit sales 2,250
Cash collected from the customer (1,350)
Sales returns (450)
Account receivable 450
A partial free cash flow statement can therefore be prepared as follows:
Cheyenne Corp.
Free cash flow statement (Partial)
Particular Amount ($)
Net income xx
(Increase) decrease in non-cash current assets:
Increase in account receivable (450)
Free cash flow (450)
Since the free cash flow is negative or minus $450, it therefore implies that the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow is a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is d) Decrease.
You just sold 500 shares of Wesley, Inc. stock at a price of $30.92 a share. Last year, you paid $32.04 a share to buy this stock. What is your capital gain on this investment
Answer:
-$560
Explanation:
The computation of capital gain on this investment is shown below:-
Capital gain = (Stock price - Paid shares) × Sold shares
where,
The Stock price is $30.92
Paid shares is $32.04
And, the sold shares is 500 shares
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the capital gain on this investment is
= ($30.92 - $32.04) × 500
= -$1.12 × 500
= -$560
Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now
Answer:
Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000
Explanation:
The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%
The initial margin = $4,000
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20
Increase in the Margin value =$2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000

The mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will also lower total costs for a supply chain.
a) true
b) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
Transportation is the movement of individuals or goods from one place to another. Supply chain are the steps that are involved before a product will finally get to the consumer.
It should be noted that the mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will not necessarily lower total costs for a supply chain. This I because transportation isn't the only process involved on supply chain.

Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000

. Define a primary and secondary market for securities and discuss how they differ. Discuss how the primary market is dependent on the secondary market. (
Explanation:
Primary market for securities is one that provides access to buy new new issues of stocks and bonds of a company. A good example of primary market is an Initial Public Offering (IPO), organized by a company that wants to sell it's shares for the first time to investors.
While Secondary market, are places to sell securities to a secondary (second) buyer from the current security owner who bought from the primary market.
The primary market is dependent on the secondary market since it is the demand from the secondary market that determines the asset valuation of the primary market.

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.6 pounds $
2.00
per pound $ 7.20
Direct labor 0.5 hours $
6.60
per hour 3.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.3 hours* $
2.10
per hour
0.63
Total standard cost per unit $ 11.13
*Based on machine-hours.
During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
Purchased 15,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.45 per pound.
Used 10,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)
Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.30 per hour.
Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $3,000 for the month. A total of 1,200 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
a. Materials price and quantity variances.
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.
Answer:
1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.
Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased
= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800
= $0.45 * 15,800
= $7110 (Unfavorable)
Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price
(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2
= (10,600 - 10,800) * $2
= 200 * $2
= 400 (Favorable)
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours
= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100
= 0.3 * 2,100
= 630 (Favorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) * Standard rate
= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6
= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6
= 600 * 6.6
= 3960 (Unfavorable)
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances
Variable overhead rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)
= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)
= 3,000 - 2,520
= 480 Unfavorable
Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate
= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10
= (1200 - 900) * 2.10
= 300 * 2.10
= 630 (Unfavorable)
2. Variances Amount
Material price variance 7,110 U
Material quantity variance 400 F
Labor rate variance 630 F
Labor efficiency variance 3,960 U
Variable overhead rate variance 480 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 630 U
Net variance 11,150 U
The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

Explanation:
Consumer spending is the amount that individuals and families spend on final goods and services for personal use and enjoyment in the economy. Contemporary measures of consumer spending include all private purchases of durable goods, durable goods and services. Consumer spending can be thought of as a combination of personal savings, investment cost, and output in the economy.so correct answer is Consumer spendingCompany XYZ, has the following capital structure:Debt $50MCommon $30MPreferred of $20MPrice of 5-year, par value 6% annual coupon Bonds that sell today for $1,050.Preferred dividend in year 1 of $5 and a preferred stock price of $90.Common stock has a required return of 12%Tax rate is 40%Solve for the Company WACC?
Answer:
The Company WACC is 6.1%
Explanation:
WACC is the averge cost of capital that a company bears based on the weights of each financing option available to the company.
First we need to calculate the Market values
Debt = $50 M x $1,050 / $1,000 = $52.5 M
Common Equity = $30 M
Preferred equity = $20 M x $90 / $100 = $18 M
Total Capital = $52.5 M + $30 M + $18 M = $100.5
Now we need to calculte the Cost of each financing option
Cost of Debt
Price of Bond = C x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-n / r + Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^n
$1,050 = $60 x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-5 / YTM + $1,000 / ( 1 + YTM )^5
YTM = 4.85%
Cost of Common Equity = 12%
Cost of Preseferred Stock = $5 / $90 = 0.05556 = 5.56%
Now use following fomula to calculte the WACC
WACC = ( Common Equity weight x Cost of Common equity ) + ( Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x ( 1 - Tax rate ) + ( Weight of Preferred Shares x Cost of Preferred Shares )
Now Place all the valus in the formula
WACC = ( $30 / $100.5 x 12% ) + ( $52.5 / $100.5 x ( 1 - 40% ) x 4.85% ) + ( $18 / $100.5 x 5.56% )
WACC = 3.58% + 1.52% + 1.00% = 6.1%
