UCC rules and the Statute of Frauds state that any contract for the sale or lease of goods that are worth more than $500 should be in writing. The pair of speakers are worth $600, since they are worth more than $500, then any sales contract must be in writing.
Assume the U.S. government wants to hold the value of the dollar at $1.00 U.S. equals 120 Japanese yen, but it finds that the value of yen is appreciating against the U.S. dollar. What would be an appropriate policy to reverse this trend?
Answer: Buy U.S. dollars.
Explanation:
As the currency market is also controlled by the laws of supply and demand where an increase in demand increases price and a decrease in supply does the same, should the US want to increase the value of the dollar, they should buy more US dollars.
This action would increase the demand for the dollar while reducing the amount of dollars in the market. This will invariably lead to an increase in the price of the dollar all else equal.

On January 1, a company issues bonds dated January 1 with a par value of $320,000. The bonds mature in 5 years. The contract rate is 7%, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The market rate is 6% and the bonds are sold for $333,650. The journal entry to record the first interest payment using the effective interest method of amortization is: (Rounded to the nearest dollar.)
Answer: Debit interest expense $10,010, debit premium on bonds payable $1,190, credit cash $11,200.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Par value = $320,000
Bonds payable = $333,650
Market rate = 6% compounded semianually
Contract rate = 7%
Cash credited :
Par value * contract rate = $320,000 * 0.07 * 0.5 = $11,200
Interest Expense :
Bonds payable * market rate * 0.5
$333,650 * 0.06 * 0.5 = $10,009.5 (debit)
= $10,010 ( nearest dollar)
Discount Premium on bonds :
Cash - interest expense
$11200 - $10010 = $1,190
A bank statement shows a balance of $8,445 at June 30. The bank reconciliation is prepared and includes outstanding checks of $2,790, deposits in transit of $1,350, and a bank service charge of $30. Among the paid checks returned by the bank was check no. 900 in the amount of $600, which the company had erroneously recorded in the accounting records as $60. The "adjusted cash balance" at June 30 is:
Answer:
$7,095
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cash balance is shown below:-
Adjusted cash balance = Balance as per Bank Statement + Deposit in transit - Outstanding checks + bank Service charge + returned paid check no.900
= $8,445 + $1,350 - $2,790 + $30 + $60
= $7,095
Therefore for computing the adjusted cash balance we simply applied the above formula.

Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 30%, and the current dividend yield is 2%. Its beta is 1.2, the market risk premium is 8%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. (LO13-4) a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity. b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?
Answer:
a. 13.60 %
b. 10.00 %
c. CAPM accounts for investment risk and can be applied by any company irregardless of dividend size or growth rate.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity is the return required by holders of Common Stock
1. CAPM
Cost of Equity = Expected Return on Risk Free Security + Company`s Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 0.04 + 1.20 × 0.08
= 13.60 %
2. Constant growth model
Cost of Equity = Current Dividend Yield + Expected Growth
= 2 % + 8 %
= 10.00 %

The Easton manufacturing Company is looking to replace its conveyor belt system. A new system will cost $345,000, and will result in cost savings of $220,000 in the first year, followed by savings of $100,000 per year over the following 3 years. If the firm’s cost of capital is 9%, what is the discounted payback period for this project? (Do not round intermediate computations. Round final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
It will take 3 years and 279 days to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $345,000
Annual cost saving:
Cf1= $220,000
Cf2 to 4= $100,000
Discount rate= 9%
The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment:
Year 1= (220,000/1.09) - 345,000= -143,165.14
Year 2= (100,000/1.09^2) - 143,165.14= -58,997.14
Year 3= (100,000/1.09^3) - 58,997.14= 18,221.21
To be more accurate:
(58,997.14/77,218.35)*365= 279 days
It will take 3 years and 279 days to cover for the initial investment.

Linda’s Autoplex performs oil changes on automobiles, light trucks, and sport utility vehicles. She is a profit- maximizing business owner whose firm operates in a competitive market. The marginal cost of an oil change is $10. The marginal productivity of the last worker that Linda hired was 1.5 oil changes per hour. What is the maximum hourly wage that Linda was willing to pay the last worker hired?
Answer:
$15 per hour
Explanation:
In order for a profit maximizing firm to operate in a competitive market, the marginal revenue product (MRP) must be equal to the marginal cost (MC).
MRP = 1.5 oil changes per hour x $10 per oil change = $15
since MRP = MC, then Linda should pay her worker a maximum of $15 per hour
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The specific risk premium used in the CAPM is the same as the risk premium used in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach. b. Beta measures market risk, which is, theoretically, the most relevant risk measure for a publicly-owned firm that seeks to maximize its intrinsic value. This is true even if not all of the firm's stockholders are well diversified. c. An advantage shared by both the DCF and CAPM methods when they are used to estimate the cost of equity is that they are both "objective" as opposed to "subjective," hence little or no judgment is required. d. The discounted cash flow method of estimating the cost of equity cannot be used unless the growth rate, g, is expected to be constant forever. e. If the calculated beta underestimates the firm's true investment risk—i.e., if the forward-looking beta that investors think exists exceeds the historical beta—then the CAPM method based on the historical beta will produce an estimate of rs and thus WACC that is too high.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
b. Beta measures market risk, which is, theoretically, the most relevant risk measure for a publicly-owned firm that seeks to maximize its intrinsic value. This is true even if not all of the firm's stockholders are well diversified.
Explanation:
In the Options given above, the only one that is TRUE is Option B which is about a Beta measures market risk found in a publicly-owned firm.

Seafood Trading Co. commenced operations during the year as a large importer and exporter of seafood. The imports were all from one country overseas. The export sales were conducted as drop shipments and were merely transshipped at Seattle. Seafood Trading reported the following data: Purchases during the year $12.0 million Shipping costs from overseas 1.5 million Shipping costs to export customers 1.0 million Inventory at year end 3.0 million What amount of shipping costs should be included in Seafood Trading’s year-end inventory valuation? A. $250,000 B. $0 C. $1,125,000 D. $375,000
Answer:
D. $375,000
Explanation:
given data
Purchases during the year = $12.0 million
Shipping costs from overseas = 1.5 million
Shipping costs to export customer = 1.0 million
Inventory at year end = 3.0 million
solution
we get here Seafood Trading’s year-end inventory valuation.
and we know here that shipping cost to export to customers is selling expense but not include the inventory.
so
shipping costs = ( Inventory at year-end ÷ Purchases during the year ) × Shipping costs from overseas ..................1
put here value and we get
shipping costs = [($3.0 million ÷ $12.0 million) × $1.5 million]
shipping costs = $375,000
