a5: % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 28.61%

% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 -10.68%

Explanation:

a1. Computation for Current ratio using this formula

Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.

Let plug in the formula

Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993/12526

Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = = 1.357

Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302/11269

Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 1.358

a2. Computation for Quick ratio using this formula

Quick ratio = (Total current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses)/current liabilities.

Let plug in the formula

Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = (16993-11809)/12526

Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 0.414

Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = (15302-11079)/11269

Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 0.375

a3. Computation for Working capital using this formula

Working capital = current assets – current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993-12526

Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 4,467.

Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302-11269

Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015= 4,033.

a4. Computation for % change in working capital in 2016 from prior year

% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = (4467-4033)/4033

% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = 10.76%

% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = (4033-4530)/4530

% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = -10.97%

a5. Computation for % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year

% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= (2216-1723)/1723

% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= 28.61%

% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year = (1723-1929)/1929

% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year= -10.68%

Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units. The budgeted production units for July are:

Answers

Answer:

Production= 6,010

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

July August

Sales units 5,800 6,500

Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units.

To calculate the production for July, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 5,800 + (6,500*0.3) - 1,740

Production= 6,010

Spa Inc. gathered the following information related to its gift card sales for 2020, its first year of selling gift cards: Sales of nonrefundable gift cards, 2020$25,500 Gift card redemptions, 2020$18,360 Spa Inc. estimates that 95% of the value of gift cards sold in 2020 will be redeemed while 5% will remain unclaimed. Under the proportional method, what would Spa Inc. recognize for gift card breakage revenue in 2020

Answers

Answer: $969

Explanation:

Since 5% of the value of the gift card sold will be unclaimed, the amount claimed will be:

= $25500 - (5% × $25500)

= $25500 -(0.05 × $25500)

= $25500 - $1275

= $24225

We then find the percentage of the cards that have been redeemed already and this will be:

= $18360 / $24225

= 0.7579

= 76%

Therefore, breakage in revenue to be recognized will be:

= ($25500 × 5%) × 76%

= $1275 × 76%

= $1275 × 0.76

= $969

Natchez, Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $200,000.

Natchez expects the machine to provide future benefits for 3 years and salvage value at the end of the 3-year period to be $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation method. The income tax rate is 30%. If the required rate of return is 10%, how much is the net present value of this project

Answers

Answer:

$20,138.74

Explanation:

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  

To determine cash flow, use this formula

Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

(200,000 - 10,000) / 3 = 63,333

(100,000 - 5000 - 63,333) x ( 1 - 0.3) + 63,333 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 2 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 3 = 85499.90 + 10,000 = 95,499.90

I = 10

NPV = $20,138.74

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.

Oil Services Corp. reports the following EPS data in its 2017 annual report (in million except per share data). Net income $1,827 Earnings per share: Basic $1.56 Diluted $1.54 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 1,172 How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017

Answers

Answer:

15.2million dilutive shares

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017.

First step is to calculate the Basic EPS using this formula

Basic EPS= Net income -Basic

Let plug in the formula

Basic EPS= $1,827 /$1.56

Basic EPS=$1,171.2 million

Second step is to calculate the Diluted EPS

Diluted EPS =$1,827 million / $1.54

Diluted EPS = $1,186.4 million.

Now let calculate How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017

2017 Diluted weighted average=$1,186.4 million - $1,171.2 million.

2017 Diluted weighted average= 15.2million dilutive shares

Therefore How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017 is 15.2 million dilutive shares

The Ending Inventory is calculated using the missing figure approach or the Gross Margin technique.

that is,

Ending Inventory =  Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Cost of  Sales

thus,

This can be clearly done by writing up a Trading Account as shown below for each scenario.

also remember,

Cost + Profit = Sales

so for those based on cost use this formula.

Carlos transfers property with a tax basis of $750 and a fair market value of $1,200 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $975 and $75 cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $150 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange

Answers

Answer:

$975

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the Corporation's Tax basis in the property received in exchange

Corporation's Tax basis = Tax basis of Property transferred + Gain recognized

Where

Tax basis of Property transferred = $750

Gain recognized = 975 - $750 = $225

Placing values in the formula

Corporation's Tax basis = $750 + $225

Corporation's Tax basis = $975

Credit : Accumulated depletion $354,000

Part c

Debit : Depletion expense $354,000

Credit : Accumulated depletion $354,000

Explanation:

Step 1 : Cost of the Silver Mine

Purchase Price        $1,600,000

Development Costs    $50,000

Total Cost                $1,650,000

Step 2 : Depletion rate

Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimate Usage

                        = $5.90

Step 3 : Depletion expense

Note : Depletion expense depends on units mined only instead of units sold.

Depletion expense = Depletion rate x Units mined

if 60,000 tons of ore are mined and sold :

Depletion expense = $354,000

if 60,000 tons of ore are mined but only 15,000 tons of the ore are sold :

Depletion expense = $354,000

Calculate the net benefit ( ) or cost (-) of the call and reissue for Bad Wolf Enterprises

Answers

Answer:

Bad Wolf Enterprises

The net benefit of the call and reissue for Bad Wolf Enterprises is:

= $261,071.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Bond maturity period = 10 years

Coupon rate = 5%

Present value factor at 5% for 10 years = 0.614

Present value of the coupons savings of the new offering = $588,365

Future value of the extra principal payment of the new offering = $350,000

Present value of the extra principal payment = $214,900 ($350,000 * 614)

Administrative fees associated with the recall and reissue = $112,394

Total cost = $327,294 ($214,900 + $112,394)

The net benefit of the call and reissue = Total benefits minus total costs

= $261,071 ($588,365 - $327,294)

Mike and Marianne pulled their resources together to open a coffee place. They each put $20,000 and also took a bank loan of $20,000. Interest rate the bank charges is 8% and estimated tax rate is 30% for their business. If they both want a 12% return on their investment, what is the weighted average cost of capital

Answers

Answer:

WACC= 9.8%

Explanation:

The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.

After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt  

= (1-0.3)× 8% = 5.6%

Total Equity = 20,000× 2= 40,000.

Bank loan = 20,000

Total value fund = 40,000 + 20,000 = 60,000

WACC= 5.5%× (2/6)  + 12%× (4/6) = 9.8%

WACC= 9.8%

Mission Corp. borrowed $50,000 cash on April 1, 2019, and signed a one-year 12%, interest-bearing note payable. The interest and principal are both due on March 31, 2020. Assume that the appropriate adjusting entry was made on December 31, 2019 and that no adjusting entries have been made during 2020. How much interest expense should Mission Corp. record on March 31, 2020?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of interest expense that Mission Corp. should record on March 31, 2020 is $1,500.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Monthly interest expense = (Amount borrowed * Interest rate) / Number of months in a year = ($50,000 * 12%) / 12 = $500

Remaining number of months = Number of months from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 = 3

Explanation:

Suppose that Nevada Co., a US-based MNC, makes regular, monthly purchases of materials from a German supplier named Spicurity. These regular payments are typically in the amount of 300,000 euros. Last month the exchange rate was $1.93 per euro. Nevada Co. only has cash reserves in dollars, while Spicurity only has cash reserves in euros. Suppose both companies use the same bank.
In order to conduct this transaction last month, Nevada Co.
Required:
a. $_____ to pay for the materials. Thus, the bank handling the transaction reduced Nevada’s account by this amount, denominated in
b. __________( euros OR dollars). The bank then converted this amount to c. ___________ d. ________________( euros OR dollars). and credited it to Spicurity’s account.

Answers

Answer:

In order to conduct this transaction last month, Nevada Co.

Required:

a. $_579,000____ to pay for the materials. Thus, the bank handling the transaction reduced Nevada’s account by this amount, denominated in

b. __dollars___( euros OR dollars). The bank then converted this amount to c. ___euros________ from d. ______dollars_____( euros OR dollars). and credited it to Spicurity’s account.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Importer = Nevada Co., a US-based MNC

Exporter = Spicurity, a German supplier

Amount of regular payments = 300,000 euros

Exchange rate = $1.93 per euro

Amount in dollars = $579,000 (300,000 euros * $1.93)

b) To convert to dollars from euro, when the exchange rate is $1.93 per euro, we multiply the euro-based amount by the exchange rate.  To convert the dollars to the euro, we divide by the exchange rate.  To multiply or divide depends on which currency has a higher value (e.g. euro vs dollars).

Classic Limo, Inc. provides limousine service to Tri-Cities airport. The price of the service is fixed at a flat rate for each trip and most costs of providing the service are stable for each trip. Marc Pence, the owner, budgets income by estimating two factors that fluctuate with the economy: the fuel cost associated with each trip and the number of customers who will take trips. Looking at next year, Marc develops the following estimates of contribution margin (price less variable cost of the trip, including fuel) and for the estimated number of customers. Although Marc understands that it is not strictly true, he assumes that the cost of fuel and the number of customers are independent.
Contribution Margin Per
Scenario Ride (Price - Variable cost) Number of Customers
Excellent $40 10,500
Fair $25 6,000
Poor $15 4,500
In addition to the costs of a ride, Marc estimates that other service costs are $50,000 plus $5 for each customer (ride) in excess of 6,000 rides. Annual administrative and marketing costs are estimated to be $25,000 plus 10% of the contribution margin.
Required:
1) Using the above information, construct an Excel spreadsheet to prepare an analysis of the possible operating income for Classic Limo, Inc.
2) 2) If you were manager of Classic Limo, Inc. and had to choose only one budget scenario to use for planning for the year, which one of the nine scenarios would you choose?

Sales are 25% cash and 75% on credit. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. The June 30 balance sheet includes balances of $15,000 in cash; $44,900 in accounts receivable; and a $4,900 balance in loans payable. A minimum cash balance of $15,000 is required. Loans are obtained at the end of any month when a cash shortage occurs. Interest is 1% per month based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each month-end. If an excess balance of cash exists, loans are repaid at the end of the month. Operating expenses are paid in the month incurred and consist of sales commissions (10% of sales), office salaries ($3,900 per month), and rent ($6,400 per month).

Suppose that the global crude oil price has risen due to refinery breakdowns caused by middle-east politics and warfare. Crude oil is an input in the gasoline production. At the same time, the demand for driving and, therefore, the demand for gasoline has also risen in the United States. You can accurately predict that the domestic price of gasoline is:_______

Answers

Answer:

"Definitely increase" is the correct approach.

Explanation:

As fuel demand rises, consumption exceeds the amount, as manufacturers are unable to cope with either the surge in demand whenever the profit margin is still rising.We could perhaps state precisely that consumption overtakes the output of petrol or the curve of availability to that same right as well as would therefore be at that same greater degree.

Thus the above is the correct answer.

Q 10.7: Melbee Farms is considering purchasing a new combine that would help them finish their harvesting faster, thus allowing them to pick up extra revenue by doing custom combining for other farmers. The combine and headers cost $487,000. They expect to have net cash flows of $157,000 in year 1, $182,000 in year 2, $202,000 in year 3, and $213,000 in year 4. If they discount the cash flows by 7%, what is the discounted payback period for the combine

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year     Cash flow     DF        Present value  

0           487,000 × 1          = (487,000)

1          157,000 × 1.07^(-1) = 146,729.0

2         182,000 × 1.07^(-2) = 158965.8

  3         202,000 × 1.07^(-3) = 164,892.2

4         213,000  × 1.07^(-4) =162,496.7

Total PV for 2 years = 146729 +158965+164892= 470587.0

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal  =  487,000-470587 = 16413.0

 Discounted payback period = 3 years + 16413.0 /162,496.7 × 12 months

= 3year , 1.2months

Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month

You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:

Answers

Answer:

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Explanation:

Given:

Demand curve =  P = 63 − 5Q

Cost C = 10 + 3Q

Find:

Profit-maximizing output

Computation:

In monopoly maximum profit stand where;

MR = MC

So,

TR = P x Q

TR = (63 - 5q)Q

TR = 63Q - 5Q²

MR = d(TR) / dQ

So,

MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ

MR = 63 - 10Q

MC = dC / dQ

MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ

MC = 3

So,

Profit-maximizing output

MR = MC

63 - 10Q = 3

Q = 6

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Required:
Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year.

Answers

Answer:

$62,000

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year

Using this formula

Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership=[BBB Partnership basis+( Share of debt-Share of partnership debt)+ Share of Partnership's income +Share of partnership's nontaxable income-Cash distributions]

Let plug in the formula

Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + ($8,000-$5,000) + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000

Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + $3,000 + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000

Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership = =$62,000

Therefore Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year will be $62,000
