Answer:
Discounted payback period= 2 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
0 900 × 1 = 900
1 500 × 1.1^(-1) = 454.55
2 500 × 1.1^(-2) = 413.22
2 500 × 1.1^(-3) = 375.66
Total PV for 2 years = 454.55 + 413.22 = 867.77
Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77 = 32.23
Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months
= 2 years 1 month
Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

The following information pertains to Hopson Co.'s pension plan: Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation at 1/1/13 $72,000 Assumed discount rate 10% Service costs for 2013 $28,000 Pension benefits paid during 2013 $15,000 If no change in actuarial estimates occurred during 2013, Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 was
Answer:
$92,200
Explanation:
Calculation for Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015
Using this formula
Projected benefit obligation=Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation + Service costs +(Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation × Discount rate)- Pension benefit
Let plug in the formula
Projected benefit obligation= $72,000 + $28,000 + ($72,000 × .10) -$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$72,000 + $28,000 + $7,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation= $107,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$92,200
Therefore Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 will be $92,200

2. Poe Company is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $85,500. The projected net cash flows are $40,500 for the first two years and $35,500 for years three and four. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Poe requires a 10% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of 1 and present value of an annuity for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.
Periods Present Value of 1 at 10% Present Value of anAnnuity of 1 at 10%
1 0.9091 0.9091
2 0.8264 1.7355
3 0.7513 2.4869
4 0.6830 3.1699
a. $(27,665).
b. $(14,857).
c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.
Answer:
1. $18620
2. $35709
Explanation:
1.we are required to find incremental loss.
= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)
Defect product = 900
Market price = 20.8
Price for each defect unit = 4.9
Price for defect correction = 6.1
1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)
= $18600
2. Present value of cash flow =
40500*0.9091 = 36818.55
40500*0.8264 = 33469.2
35500*0.7513 = 26671.15
35500*0.683 = 24246.5
Total = 121209
We subtract cost of new equipment from this value
121209-85500
= $35709
Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.63 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $74.11 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.75 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
r is the required rate of return or cost of equityg is the constant growth rate in dividendsPlugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,
74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)
74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63
74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63
74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125
r = 7.409125 / 74.11
r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%
Assume that the CEO of a company gave you the project charter specifying your authority, among others to work on an initiative providing health services to the community in a certain neighborhood. Before the company embarked on the project, the team analyzed the health sector development program of the country and read through laws the country enacted regarding the health sector. It also did a market survey to solicit information as to who does what. From the analysis, it learned that several companies where engaged in the provision of solar energy. As it did not want to be engaged in providing the same service that others were offering, it started developing solar powered mobile clinic. With an initial outlay of birr 5 Million, the project would last for 7 years. Since the whole work was too huge to consider all at once, the project manager and the team decomposed the project into manageable compartments and then to activities. It also developed schedule, set standards, and anticipated possible bottlenecks along the way. From the analysis it made, it found out that there would be a 20% chance that medical supplies would be delivered late costing the company ETB 350,000. There would also be a 40% chance that the company would save ETB 175,000 in time as it would build the component using already existing templates instead of starting from scratch. Finally, the team would like to make sure that the work would satisfy all of the requirements so that it would get the acceptance of the clients. 1. Characterize a project based on the above narration and distinguish the project manager from an operations manager? 2. What is the Expected Monetary Value for the two possibilities?

A publishing company sells 1,250,000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional copies, it costs the company $250 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs
Answer:
The Company should produce 25,000 books
Explanation:
The production size that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as the optimum batch size.
Optimum batch size = √(2 × Annual Production Demand × Set up Cost) / Storage Cost per unit
= √ (2 × 1,250,000 × $250) / $1
= 25,000 books
Conclusion :
The Company should produce 25,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.
Do your shopping behavior and purchase criteria differ between purchases made for yourself and purchases made as gifts? How?
Explanation:
Yes, as purchasing behavior and purchasing criteria tend to vary according to the reason for the purchase.
The consumer purchase decision process begins by identifying a need, searching for available information about the purchase need found, evaluating the options available for purchase and finally buying decision. And this process varies according to the type of purchase, if it is for yourself, you can consider different benefits and options, when a purchase is made to be a gift, you can have different criteria in relation to the price you want to pay, the preferences and needs of the person who will receive the gift, etc.
Which means that sellers must create different strategies for each purchase situation, in order to positively influence the purchase process for a gift, if that is the case.
Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $ 20,000
Variable expenses 12,000
Contribution margin 8,000
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin / total units
Unitary contribution margin= 8,000 / 1,000
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit. The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $107 per unit.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.
The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 17,248 units
Now, the selling price is $107:
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 15,488 units
The manager of a savings and loan branch wants to estimate the average amount held in passbook savings accounts by the branch bank depositors. A random sample of 25 depositors is selected, and the results indicate a sample average of $4,750 and a sample standard deviation of $1,200. Given the 95% confidence interval estimates calculated above, if an individual had $4,000 ina passbook savings account, is this considered unusual?
a. Yes
b. Maybe
c. Do not know
d. No
Answer:
Correct answer:
d. No
Explanation:
This is because, from the random sample that was done, it shows that the average money held by customers falls within $3550 - $5950 which averages $4750 (Factoring in the standard deviation of $1200). Therefore, it is not considered unusual if an individual had $4000 since it falls within the range of amount held by most depositors and customers of the said bank.
A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.
Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4
Norwood, Inc. signs a , %, sixmonth note dated November 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be ________. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Norwood Company
Norwood Company signs a $11,000, 8.5%, six-month note dated November 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be ___$156_____. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Note Payable = $11,000
Interest rate = 8.5%
Interest expense for a year = 8.5% of $11,000 = $935
Interest expense for 2 months (from November to December) = $935/12 * 2 = $156
b) Interest expense represents the annual expense that must be incurred for the use of resources which the Norwood, Inc. obtained through the signing of the six month note. Interest on notes are computed based on an annual basis unless otherwise stated. The 8.5% is per annum. So, when the interest and principal are being repaid in six month's time, Norwood, Inc. should have accrued interest for six months, which will amount to $467.

What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%
Answer:
The expected return on stock is 30%
Explanation:
Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)
Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)
Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60
Growth rate = 0.15
Growth rate = 15%
Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate
Expected return = 15% + 15%
Expected return = 30%
Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.
Answer:
Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:
1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.
2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.
3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.
4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.
5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.
6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.
Explanation:
For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company. Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future. That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.
The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

At the beginning of the year, Jerry's tax basis in his partnership interest was $44,000. His current-year Schedule K-1 reported an ordinary loss of $9,000, long-term capital gain of $4,600, qualified dividends of $3,600, $2,100 of non-deductible expenses, a $26,000 cash contribution, and a reduction of $5,600 in his share of partnership debt. What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest (outside basis) at the end of the year
Answer: $61,500
Explanation:
Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.
There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.
Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)
= 78,200 - 16,700
= $61,500

Company A was sued by Company B. The management of Company A feels that it is probable that it will have to pay the full amount to Company 8. What is the effect of this contingent event on Company A's accounting equation?
a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.
b. Increase assets and increase stockholders' equity.
c. No effect on the accounting equation.
d. Decrease assets and decrease liabilities.
Answer: a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
Contingent Liabilities are obligations that the company may owe if a future event happens such as them being ruled against in a case in court.
Contingent Liabilities are to be recorded in the financial statements only when it is probable that it will happen and that the amount to be paid is reasonably estimable.
Company A's management feels like the loss is probable and that they would have to pay the full amount to company B which means that the loss is both likely and estimable.
Company A should therefore increase their liabilities and debit loss which will come from the Equity thereby reducing it.

d. Lauren's basis in the distributed assets is $22,000, which is her outside basis.
e.Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partner Outside Basis Partner Distribution
Justin $22,000 $25,000 cash
Lauren 22,000 $18,000 cash + $7,000 in property
Property $2,000 to Partnership
Justin and Lauren's recognized gain or loss is determined by the amount of the sale minus the partner's interest, which is often referred to as the partner's outside basis.
Justin's and Lauren's remaining basis in the partnership is the amount of the fair market value of property remaining after Lauren's share in the property.
