Consider the WACC formula, if the required rate of return on preferred stock increases, holding all else equal, the WACC increases.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculates the cost of capital to a company for the means of capital it uses to finance operations. It is based on the cost and the weight of the various capital types.

Formula is;

= Cost of Equity * %Equity + Cost of debt * %Debt * ( 1 - Tax rate) + Cost of Preferred Stock * %Preferred stock

The required rate of return on preferred stock is the same as the Cost of Preferred Stock. From the formula it is shown that if this rate increases, holding all else equal, total WACC will increase.

On November 19, Nicholson Company receives a $25,800, 60-day, 10% note from a customer as payment on account. What adjusting entry should be made on the December 31 year-end

Answers

Answer:

adjusting entry should be :

Note Receivable $1,806  (debit)

Interest Income $1,806  (credit)

Explanation:

On Issuance of the note the entries recorded are :

Note Receivable $25,800 (debit)

Sales Revenue $25,800 (credit)

At year end, December 31, 42 days would have expired, thus the interest of 42 days accrues on the Note Receivable. Entries are as follows :

Note Receivable $1,806  (debit)

Interest Income $1,806  (credit)

Interest Calculation = $25,800 × 10% × 42/60

                                 = $1,806

At the beginning of the year, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $840,000, and direct materials costs, $400,000. At year-end, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,041,000. Actual direct materials cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.Jobs completed and sold $390,000 Jobs in finished goods inventory 83,000 Jobs in work in process inventory 55,000 Total actual direct materials cost $528,000Required:a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

Answers

Answer:

a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.

the predetermined overhead rate = total budgeted overheard costs / total budgeted direct materials used = $840,000 / $400,000 = 2.1 = 210%

b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.

applied overhead costs = actual direct materials x overhead rate = $528,000 x 210% = $1,108,800

over applied overhead = actual overhead - standard overhead = $1,041,000 - $1,108,800 = -$67,800 favorable variance

c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $790,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $77,000, the tax rate is 21 percent, and the project discount rate is 10 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $118,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable?

Answers

Answer:

The pretax cost savings for project to be profitable will be more than $2,059,794 for the 5 years of life.

Explanation:

Installed cost = $790,000

Initial working capital = $77,000

Tax rate = 21%

Project discount rate = 10%

Estimated salvage value = $118,000

Depreciable amount :

Installed cost  $790,000

Salvage value     118,000

Net                  $672,000

Annual depreciation = $134,400 ($672,000/5)

Working capital        =   $77,000

Pretax cost savings =  $211,400 x 1.61051 x 1.21

= $2,059,794

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:

Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000

Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?

Answers

Answer:

81%

Explanation:

Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used

Using this formula

Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)

Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000

Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000

Markup percentage=0.81*100

Markup percentage=81%

Calculation for Total variable costs

Variable product cost per unit $19

Variable administrative cost per unit $11

Total variable costs =$30

Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.

Answers

Answer:

$1423.38

Explanation:

number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30

first payment = $100

interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134

increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08

we can calculate the present value using this Equation

= (p / (r-g))  * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]

where :

p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852

[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) =  (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) =  0.7686

hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38

Note :

p ( first principal payment ) = $100

r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134

g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08

Required hours to process           5 hrs     7 hrs      1 hrs

Contribution margin per hours        7            4         17

Therefore, Widgeon Co. will earn maximum contribution only if it uses all its machine hours for production of wales

Maximum contribution margin = Contribution margin per hour * Number of machine hours

Maximum contribution margin = 17 * 2,000 hours

Maximum contribution margin = $3,400

Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month is $3,400. The difference between the sales price and the variable cost is the contribution margin.

A contribution margin calculates a product's profitability during production. The contribution margin of a business indicates how much income is left over after variable expenditures like raw materials and transportation are subtracted.

A product must have a higher leftover income after variable costs than the business' fixed expenses, such as salaries and insurance, in order to be profitable.

The Fime Corporation uses a standard costing system. The following data have been assembled for December: Actual direct labor-hours worked 6,200 hours Standard direct labor rate $7 per hour Labor efficiency variance $2,100 Unfavorable The standard hours allowed for December’s production is:

Answers

Answer:

5,900= standard quantity

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor-hours worked 6,200 hours

Standard direct labor rate $7 per hour

Labor efficiency variance $2,100 Unfavorable

To calculate the standard hour, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

-2,100 = (standard quantity - 6,200)*7

-2,100= 7standard quantity  - 43,400

41,300/7 = standard quantity

5,900= standard quantity

Answer:

The standard hour allowed for December production is 5,900 hours

Explanation:

We will use labor efficiency variance to solve the above.

Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate (Standard hours - Actual hours)

Substituting the values given in the question,

-$2,100 = $7(Standard hour - 6,200)

-$2,100 = 7std hr - 43,400

7 Std hr = - $2,100 + $43,400

7 std hr = $41,300

std hr = 5,900 hours

D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.

Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Net Book value = 72000 - 66000   = $6000

The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value

The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain

The entry to record this transaction will be,

Cash                                                              $10000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation - Equipment     $66000 Dr

During August, Boxer Company sells $348,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 5% of the selling price. The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $11,000 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $7,600 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is:

Answers

Answer:

Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600

Cr               Spare Parts Inventory  $8,600

Explanation:

The estimated warranty claim is worth $7,600 which means that the warranty claim must be debited by this amount as it was previously forecasted to be at $11,000 and in this month, the claim was worth $7,600. So decrease in warranty liability is necessary. Furthermore, the Spare Parts Inventory would be credited as the Spare parts would be used to fix the inventory which must be of $7,600 in value.

The double entry to record Warranty Repairs would be as under:

Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600

Cr               Spare Parts Inventory  $8,600

In material requirement planning calculations, gross requirements for finished products are taken from ________________________.

Answers

Answer:

Forecasted sales

Explanation:

In the production process amount of inventory purchased for producing goods must be carefully calculated.

This avoids waste incurred from buying excess of materials needed for operation. Also when there is shortage of materials time and resources are wasted getting more materials.

So when calculating material requirements for finished products it is important that we consider sales forecasts.

Materials purchased based on this will just adequately meet the demand for product.

This reduce cost of storage of excess materials.

Murray Motor Company wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $3.00 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $60 per share. The expected growth rate is 8 percent.
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Cost of retained earnings___%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of new common stock ____%

Answers

Answer:

a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke)

$60 = $3 / (Ke - 8%)

Ke - 8% = $3 / $60 = 5%

Ke = 13%

b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn).

$60 (1 - $5/$60) = $3 / (Kn - 8%)

$55 = $3 / (Kn - 8%)

Kn - 8% = $3 / $55 = 5.45%

Kn = 13.45%

Flotation costs reduce the amount of money that the company receives for every new stock that it issues, therefore, it increases the cost of new stocks.

Three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that the equilibrium price will ________ and the equilibrium quantity will ________.

Answers

Answer: higher; lower

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that there will be a rise in the equilibrium price while there will be a reduction in the equilibrium quantity.

This is because when one producer leaves, there will be less supply of the good that is sold, this will eventually lead to a rise in price.

Joe-Bob wants to buy a car and will need to take out a loan in order to make the purchase. His current monthly income is $3,500 per month. His mortgage payment is $900 per month, and his student loan payment is $350 per month. Note: You do not need to take taxes into consideration for this journal.

a. According to the affordability formulas given, can he afford to take out another loan?
b. When should he follow the affordability formulas?
c. In what cases should he not?
d. How could taking out the car loan impact his other priorities?

Answers

Answer:

A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%

B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out  loans

C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans  

D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%

Explanation:

using the affordability formula

The debt to income ratio = [tex]\frac{total debt}{gross income}[/tex]

total debt = mortgage payment + loan repayment = $900 + $350

= $1250

gross income = $3500

hence debt to income ratio =  1250 / 3500 = 0.3571 = 35.7%

A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%

B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out  loans

C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans  

D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%

a. According to the affordability formulas, Joe-Bob cannot afford to take out a car loan.  His current DTI without the auto loan is almost 36%.

b. Joe-Bob should follow the affordability formulas to guide his decisions in taking a new loan.

c. Joe-Bob does not need to follow the affordability formulas when his debt to income ratio (DTI) is far below 36%.  He can also avoid the affordability formulas when he has the prospect of increasing his monthly income.

d. If Joe-Bob takes out the car loan despite his poor rating on the affordability formulas, he may not afford to pay his bills for necessities.

Thus, Joe-Bob should not take on more loans now until he improves his income.  An automobile will require routine maintenance and some repairs, including fuelling.

Data and Calculations:

Current monthly income = $3,500

Monthly mortgage payment = $900

Monthly student loan payment = $350

Total current debts = $1,250 ($900 + $350)

The Affordability Formula (Current Debt Payment to Income Ratio) =

35.7% ($1,250/$3,500 x 100)

The Affordability Rule states that Joe-Bob should not spend more than 36% of his monthly income repaying loans.

Answers

Answer:

13,750

Explanation:

Residual income can be calculated by deducting required return from the  Net Operating income

DATA

Operating income = 70,000

Operating assets = 385000

Additional income = 9000

Additional investment = 50,000

Residual income =?

Solution

Residual income = Net Operating income - Required return

Residual income = (70,000+9,000) - ((385,000+50,000)x15%)

Residual income = 79,000 - 65250

Residual income = 13,750
