B.Number of new shares $500,000
Numbers of right needed 5.8
C.Ex-rights price $40.82
Value of a right $1.18
D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000
Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000
Explanation:
A.
The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares
The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0
B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold
Using this formula
Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share
Let plug in the formula
Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share
Number of new shares=$500,000
Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share
Using this formula
Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000
Numbers of right needed=5.8
C. Calculation for the ex-rights price
Using this formula
Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)
Let plug in the formula
Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)
Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8
Ex-rights price=$40.82
Calculation for the value of a right
Using this formula
Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price
Let plug in the formula
Value of a right=$42-$40.82
Value of a right=$1.18
D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42
Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000
Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)
Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360
Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000

February 1, 2018, Salisbury Company purchased land for the future factory location at a cost of $112,000. The dilapidated building that was on the property was demolished so that construction could begin on the new factory building. The new factory was completed on November 1, 2018. Costs incurred during this period were: Item Amount Demolition dilapidated building $2,000 Architect Fees $11,250 Legal Fees - for title search $1,450 Interest During Active Construction Period $5,025 Real estate transfer tax $975 Construction Costs $605,000 Using this information, how much should be recorded as the cost of the land?
Answer:
The cost of the land should be recorded as $108,350
Explanation:
Land cost = $112,000
Demolition dilapidated building = $2,200
Legal fees - title search = $1,450
Cost of land = Land cost - Demolition dilapidated building - Legal fees - title search
Cost of land = $112,000 - $2,200 - $1,450
Cost of land = $108,350
Eliminating the queue of work dramatically quickens the time it takes apart to flow through the system. What are the disadvantages of removing those queues?
Answer:
quality may sufferexcess output mayExplanation:
Note that quality does not necessarily come quickly, and so even though eliminating the queue of work dramatically quickens the time it takes apart to flow through the system, it may result in excess output and poor quality.
Take for a stadium that has no entrance way (or doors) that is hosting an event, evidently it is less likely there will be a queue, as everyone would be rushing in quickly, but with possible consequences of overpopulation etc.
Lense Laboratories' net income was $260,000. Given the account information below, what is the net cash flows from operating activities for Lense Laboratories?
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:
Lense Laboratories' net income was $250,000. Given the account information below, what is the net operating cash flows for Lense Laboratories?
Increase In Accounts Receivable...$60,000
Increase In Salaries Payable...$50,000
Decrease In Inventory...$30,000
Depreciation Expense...$45,000
Increase In Prepaid Insurance...$3,000
a. $152,000.
b. $278,000.
c. $312,000.
d. $438,000.
The correct answer is:
$312,000 (c.)
Explanation:
operating cash flow is the number of cash generated by a business' regular operating activities within a specific time period.
The formula for net operating cash flow is as follows:
Operating cash flow = Net income + Non-cash expenses - increase in working capital
Net income = $250,000
Non-cash expenses = increase in salary payable + decrease in inventory + depreciation in expenses
Non-cash expenses = 50,000 + 30,000 + 45,000 = $125,000
increase in working capital = increase in accounts receivable + increase in prepaid insurance
increase in working capital = 60,000 + 3,000
increase in working capital = $63,000
∴ Operating cash flow = 250,000 + 125,000 - 63,000 = $312,000
Cash flow from activities = $312,000

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2200 units, the actual direct labor cost was $65600 for 4100 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is
Answer:
400 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of total direct labor variance is presented below:-
Total direct labor variance = (Standard rate - Standard hours) × (Actual rate - Actual hours)
= ($15 × (2 × 2,200)) - $65,600
= ($15 × 4,400) - $65,600
= $66,000 - $65,600
= 400 favorable
Therefore for determining the total direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula.
The price of oil in the United States has been very volatile over the last 50 years, with the real price of oil showing a few dramatic swings. When did these swings occur, and what can explain them? The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp ▼ drop rise in the real price of oil caused by ▼ a large financial crisis the formation of OPEC increased demand from emerging economies . The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp ▼ rise drop in the real price of oil caused by ▼ increased demand from emerging economies a large financial crisis the formation of OPEC . The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp ▼ rise drop in the real price of oil caused by
Answer:
The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.
In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.
The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.
From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.
The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.
By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.

g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.
Now
Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid + $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated
= $1,440,000
Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.
Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4 = $360,000
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted...
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 2,300 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were:
Cost Percent Complete
Materials costs $7,400 50%
Conversion costs $3,600 20%
A total of 8,700 units were started and 8,000 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month:
Cost
Materials costs $160,600
Conversion costs $122,300
The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. How many units are in ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month?
a. 700.
b. 1,700.
c. 6.400.
d. 2,700.
Answer:
3,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for How many units are in ending work in process inventory
Using this formula
Ending work in process units =Beginning work in process units + Units started into production - Transferred to the second processing department units
Let plug in the formula
Ending work in process units= 2,300 units + 8,700 units - 8,000 units
Ending work in process units= 3,000 units
Therefore 3,000 units are in the ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month.
NIKE, Inc., is the best-known sports shoe, apparel, and equipment company in the world because of its association with athletes such as LeBron James, Roger Federer, and Madison Keys. Some of the items included in its recent statement of cash flows presented using the indirect method are listed here. Indicate whether each item is disclosed in the operating activities (O), investing activities (I), or financing activities (F) section of the statement or use (NA) if the item does not appear on the statement.1. Additions to long-term debt.2. Depreciation3. Additions to equipment.4. Increase (decrease) in notes payable. (The amount is owed to financial institutions.)5. (Increase) decrease in other current assets6. Cash received from disposal of equipment.7. Reductions in long-term debt.8. Issuance of stock.9. (Increase) decrease in inventory.10. Net income
Answer and Explanation:
The statement of cash flow involves 3 kinds of activities mentioned below:
1. Operating activities: Many transactions are based that affect the working capital following net income. It would increase the growth in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities, whereas adding the decrease in current properties and an increase in current liabilities.
This should mitigate any work capital shifts. Furthermore, the cost of depreciation is attributed to the net income and the loss on the sale of assets is attributed while the benefit on the sale of assets is deducted
2. Investing: it monitors activities involving the acquisition and selling of long-term assets. The purchase is cash outflow while the selling is cash inflow
3. Financing activities: it monitors activities that impact on the shareholders' long-term debt and equity balance. Share issue is cash inflow whereas cash outflows are redemption and dividend.
Therefore based on the above explanation, the classification is as follows
1 Financing Activity
2. Operating activity
3 Investing activity
4 Financing Activity
5 Operating activity
6 Investing activity
7 Financing Activity
8 Financing Activity
9 Operating activity
10 Operating activity
TB MC Qu. 9-371 Irving Corporation makes a product with ... Irving Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.2 hours $ 15.00 per hour $ 3.00 Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour $ 1.02 In November the company's budgeted production was 5,400 units, but the actual production was 5,200 units. The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour
The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
A share of stock is now selling for $120. It will pay a dividend of $10 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 18%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.
The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)
r = 0.18 or 18%
Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends
Plugging in the available variables, g is,
120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)
120* (0.18 - g) = 10
21.6 - 120g = 10
g = (10 - 21.6) / -120
g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%
So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.
P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?
Answer:
Advisor A
Explanation:
t bill rate = 0.05
market rate = 0.13
the beta of the market is always 1
the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1
= 0.13
which is 13%
this is for advisor A.
with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta
0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5
= 27.5% for advisor b
when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2
0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2
= 17%
Therefore advisor a is better
Knowledge Check 01 On December 31, 2019, Wintergreen, Inc., issued $150,000 of 7 percent, 10-year bonds at a discount of $10,125. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Wintergreen uses the straight-line bond amortization method. The entry to record each interest payment includes a debit to Bond Interest Expense for $5,756, a credit to Discount on Bonds Payable for $506, and a credit to Cash for $5,250. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the bonds will equal _____.
Answer:
Carrying value of bond = $140,887 .50
Explanation:
Balance in discount on bonds account as on Dec 31, 2019 = Total discount on bonds - amortized discount on 30 June, 2019 - discount amortized on Dec 31, 2019
= $10,125 - $506.25 -$506.25
= $9,112.50
Carrying value of the bond = Face value of bond - Balance in discount on bonds account.
= $150,000 - $9,112.50
= $140,887 .50
Note:
Amortization of discount on bonds = Total discount on bond / total number of interest payments
= $10125/(10×2)
= $10125/20
= $506.25
An investor has a 25% chance of making $1000 if the stock market is good, and a 50% chance of making $600 if the market is average. The investor expects to lose $800 if the market is bad. The expected monetary value is:
Answer: $350
Explanation:
The expected monetary value is the weighted average of the outcomes.
25% - Stock Market is good
50% - Stock Market is average
25% - Stock market is bad
Expected Monetary Value = ( 0.25 * 1,000) + (0.5* 600) + ( 0.25 * -800)
= 250 + 300 - 200
= $350
Because of higher gasoline prices, firms using gasoline intensively in the production or distribution of their goods have experienced:_______.
Answer:
An upward shift in their MC, AVC, and ATC curves.
Explanation:
After the initial offering, the bonds are trading in the secondary market at 105, while the stock is trading at $10. Which statements are TRUE?
Answer:
B I and IV
Explanation:
Each bond could be transformed into common stock at $10.50 par value. So the bond should be equivalent to the 95 shares that comes from
= $1,000 ÷ $10.50 per share
= 95 shares
Currently price of the bond is $1,050
Now each share price is
= $1,050 ÷ 95 shares
= $11.05
As the common stock is traded at $10 that represents the stock is less than parity and therefore there is no means to transform the shares
hence, B option is correct

Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000. How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?
Answer: $736,000; $92,000; $92,000
Explanation:
The amount allocated will be proportional based on the cost of each when in a separate contracts.
Total when in separate contracts = 800,000 + 100,000 + 100,000
= $1,000,000
Proportion of Machine = 800,000/1,000,000
= 8/10
Proportion of Installation = 100,000/1,000,000
= 1/10
Proportion of Training = 100,000/1,000,000
= 1/10
Cost to allocate to Machine
= 8/10 * 920,000
= $736,000
Cost to allocate to Installation
= 1/10 * 920,000
= $92,000
Cost to allocate to Training
= 1/10 * 920,000
= $92,000
Answer: $736,000; $92,000; $92,000

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return A 1.16 .1137 B .92 .0984 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market
Answer: 10.35%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the expected return of a security with the expression
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
( Market return - risk free rate) is also known as the market premium and can be calculated by;
= [tex]\frac{Expected return on A - Expected return on B}{Beta for A - Beta for B}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.1137 - 0.0934}{1.16 - 0.92}[/tex]
= 0.0153/0.24
= 6.375%
= 6.38%
Expected return A = Risk free rate + Beta A ( Market return - risk free rate)
0.1137 = Risk free rate + 1.16 (6.38%)
Risk free rate = 0.1137 - 1.16(6.38%)
Risk free rate = 3.97%
Market Expected return = Market Risk Premium + risk free rate
= 6.38% + 3.97%
= 10.35%
