Oak Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, Glover, and has always operated as a C corporation. However, at the beginning of this year, Glover made a qualifying S election for Oak Corp., effective January 1. Oak Corp. did not have any C corporation earnings and profits on that date. On June 1, Oak Corp. distributed $15,000 to Glover. What are the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize on the distribution, and what is his basis in his Oak Corp. stock in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $35,000.
b. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $8,000.
c. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $0.
Answer:
Oak Corp distributed $15,000 to Glover and we are required to compute the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize under the scenarios as stated in the question:
a. No gain will be recognized by Glover. Rather, his stock basis will be reduced from $35,000 to $20,000 ($35,000 basis - $15,000 cash distribution). So, gain recognized by him is $0.
b. Long term capital gain of $7,000 ($15,000 - $8,000) will be recognized by Glover and his stock basis will be reduced from $8,000 to $0.
c. The entire $15,000 ($15,000-$0) will be recognized as long term capital gain by Glover and his stock basis will remain $0.
Crane, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 200 pressure gauges were produced, and overhead costs of $72,750 were estimated. An analysis of estimated overhead costs reveals the following activities. Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost 1. Materials handling Number of requisitions $30,000 2. Machine setups Number of setups 23,750 3. Quality inspections Number of inspections 19,000 $72,750 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total Number of requisitions 375 625 1,000 Number of setups 175 300 475 Number of inspections 225 250 475
Answer:
Requirement: Determine the overhead rate for each activity "Materials handling, Machine setups, Quality inspections"
Materials handling overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Materials handling overhead rate = $30,000 / 1,000
Materials handling overhead rate = $30
Machine setups overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Machine setups overhead rate = $23,750 / 475
Machine setups overhead rate = $50
Quality inspections overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Quality inspections overhead rate = $19,000 / 475
Quality inspections overhead rate = $40
Which of the following best describes the type of loss covered by the Spoilage Damage insuring agreement of the ISO Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage Form? A. The spoilage of perishable goods resulting from breakdown of covered equipment. B. Costs to replace food labels resulting from breakdown of refrigeration equipment.
Answer:
A. The spoilage of perishable goods resulting from breakdown of covered equipment.
Explanation:
The ISO Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage is used to compensate for losses that occur as a result of equipment breakdown. The cost covered by this type of insurance includes cost of repair of the equipment that failed along with the replacement not any property damaged as a result of equipment failure.
So when perishable goods get damaged because of breakdown of covered equipment, the ISO Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage will cover for the loss
Two years ago, Kimberly became a 30 percent partner in the KST Partnership with a contribution of investment land with a $14,750 basis and a $22,650 fair market value. On January 2 of this year, Kimberly has a $20,700 basis in her partnership interest, and none of her pre-contribution gain has been recognized. On January 2 Kimberly receives an operating distribution of a tract of land (not the contributed land) with a $18,175 basis and an $26,075 fair market value.
a) What is the amount and character of Kimberly’s recognized gain or loss on the distribution?
b) What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
c) What is KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution?
Answer: A) $3,425 B)$5,950 C)$18,175
Explanation:
a)Kimberly's capital gain = land's Fair market value -non contributed land's Fair market value = $26,075- $22,650= $3,425
b)Kimberly's basis after the distribution = basis in KST + gain - Carryover basis in land = $20,700 + $3, 425 - $18,175 = $5,950
c) KST's basis on the land =KST land's basis on contribution+ Kimberly's gain = $14,750+$3, 425 = $18,175

A company prints proceedings books for a trade show that are sold to attendees for $10 per book. The books cost the company $2 per book to make. Any books left over at the end of the trade show can be sold to a local paper mill for $0.50 each, but it costs the printing company $0.25 per book to haul them to the paper mill. What are the underage and overage costs for the books
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Selling price = $10
Cost price = $2
Now
The Salvage Value (SV) = 0.50 - 0.25 = 0.25
So,
Underage penalty (Cu) = Selling price - Cost price
= $10 - $2
= $8
And,
Overage penalty (Co) = Cost price - Salvage Value
= $2 - $0.25
= $1.75
Hence, the same is to be conisdered
Borges Machine Shop, Inc. has a 1-year contract for the production of 200,000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow:
General Purpose Flexible Manufacturing Dedicated
Equipment System Machine
GPE FMS DM
Annual contracted units 200,000 200,000 200,000
Annual fixed cost $100,000 $200,000 $500,000
Per unit variable cost $15 $14 $13
Which process is best for this contract?
Answer:
FMS
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For GPE
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $100000
Variable cost (VC) = $15
Now
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 100000 + (200000 × 15)
= 100000 + 3000000
= $3100000
For FMS
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $200000
Variable cost (VC) = $14
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 200000 + (200000 × 14)
= 200000 + 2800000
= $3000000
For DM
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $500000
Variable cost (VC) = $13
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 500000 + (200000 × 13)
= 500000 + 2600000
= $3100000
So for this type of contract FMS is best as it contains the lowest total cost.
Cominsky Company purchased a machine on July 1, 2018, for $28,000. Cominsky paid $200 in title fees and county property tax of $125 on the machine. In addition, Cominsky paid $500 shipping charges for delivery, and $475 was paid to a local contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine on the plant floor. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years with a salvage value of $3,000.
Determine the depreciation base of Cominsky’s new machine. Cominsky uses straight-line depreciation.
Depreciation base $
Entry field with incorrect answer now contains modified data
Answer:
$26,300
Explanation:
Depreciation Base is the total amount charged to expenses over an asset's useful life.
In Straight line method of Depreciation:
Depreciation Base = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value)
Cost of Asset $28,000 + $200 + $125 + $500 + $475
Cost of Asset = $29,300
Depreciable Base = $29,300 - $3,000
Depreciable Base = $26,300

A company is trying to estimate the cost of debt for a new project. For their estimate, they will find the yield to maturity on existing company bonds. They have one outstanding bond issue at the moment that will mature in 15.00 years. The bond pays an annual coupon of 9.00%, with a face value of $1,000. The bond currently trades at 92.00% of face value. What is the yield to maturity on the existing debt
Answer:
Yield to maturity =9.9%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the return on debt expressed in percentage. It can be used to worked as follows using the formula below
YTM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 9%× 1000 =90 , P- 92×1000= 920, F- 1000
AYM = 90 + (1000-920)/15 ÷ 1/2× (1000+920)
= 95.33 ÷ 960
Yield to maturity =9.9%
rr Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method on December 31, Year 12.Farr's entire inventory constitutes a single pool. On December 31, Year 12, the inventorywas $480,000 under the dollar-value LIFO method. Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
In 2001, HP acquired Compaq. The merger had an impact on two different markets: desktop PCs and servers. Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC market were as follows: Dell, 13; Compaq, 12; HP, 8; IBM, 6; Gateway, 4. Pre-merger market shares in the servers market were as follows: IBM, 26; Compaq, 16; HP, 14; Dell, 7. Source: Bank of America report, October 2001. Data for 2001Q2.
(a) Determine the value of HHI in each market before the merger.
(b) Assuming market shares of each firm remain constant, determine the value of HHI after the merger.
(c) Considering the values determined above and the DoJ merger guidelines, was the Department of Justice right in allowing the merger to take place?
Answer:
HP and Compaq
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached. This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
Compaq, 12 16
HP, 8 14
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 12² + 8² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 144 + 64 + 36 + 16
= 429
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 16² + 14² + 26² + 0² =
= 49 + 256 + 196 + 676
= 1,177
After the merger:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
HP Compaq 20 30
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 20² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 400 + 36 + 16
= 621
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 30² + 26² + 0²
= 40 + 900 + 676
= 1,616
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
Market power of Compaq and HP in the desktop PC market before the merger = 208/429 = 48.5% (144 + 64)/429
Market power of HP Compaq in the desktop PC market after the merger = 400/621 = 64.4%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 192 (621 = 429)
Market power of Compaq and HP in the servers market before the merger = 452/1,177 = 38.4% (256 + 196)/1,177
Market power of HP Compaq in the servers market after the merger = 900/1,616 = 55.7%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 439 (1,616 - 1,1177)

Add deemed contribution $21,425
(50%*$42,850)
Less: basis allocated to land ($89,700)
Remaining basis in JM $14,225
Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Measuring actual performance can be done through:
a.
Assessing the behavior of employee
b.
Assessing the output of employee
c.
Both are correct
d.
Non are correct
Answer: c. Both are correct
Explanation:
Assessing the output of an employee shows some of the actual performance of that employee as it shows just how much they have contributed to the overall output of the company.
Assessing employee behavior also shows actual performance because behavior can influence output for example, how often the employee shows up to work and their work ethic when there. In the service industry as well, behavior can affect company sales as people react to how they are treated. It is therefore an important matric for actual performance evaluation.
Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000.

Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $119, direct labor of $49, and variable overhead of $64. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $673,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $160,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 11,900 snowboards in the next year. What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
Answer:
$70 per units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
First step is to calculate total cost per unit.
Using this formula
Total Cost per unit = Unit Direct materials cost + Unit Direct labor costs + Unit Variable Costs + Unit Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost per unit = $119 + 49 + 64 + 70
Total Cost per unit = $302
.
Second step is to calculate the Selling Price Per Unit
Selling Price Per Unit = $302 +( 15%*$302)
Selling Price Per Unit = 302 + 45.30
Selling Price Per Unit = $347.30
Third step is to calculate the Total Fixed Costs using this formula
Total Fixed Costs = fixed overhead costs + Fixed selling and administrative costs
Let plug in the formula
Total Fixed Costs=$673,000+$160,000
Total Fixed Costs= $833,000
Now let calculate the Fixed Cost per unit using this formula
Fixed Cost per unit = Total Fixed Costs / Total Units
Let plug in the formula
Fixed Cost per unit =$833,000/11,900
Fixed Cost per unit = $70 per unit
Therefore What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost is $70 per unit

The Ring Division of A1d-Y6z Company reported the following information for May: selling price per unit .................... $35 variable costs per unit ................... $12 turnover .................................. 2.50 residual income ........................... $229,600 margin .................................... 22% units sold ................................ 40,000 Calculate the number of units the Ring Division needed to sell in May in order for the residual income in May to be $505,600.
Answer:
52,000 units
Explanation:
Selling price = $35*40,000 = $1,400,000
Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000
Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000
Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution
Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600
Fixed cost = $690,400
Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit
Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12
Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23
Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units
Consider the following statements about the step-down method of service department cost allocation: I. Under the step-down method, all service department costs are eventually allocated to production departments. II. The order in which service department costs are allocated is important. III. After a service department's costs have been allocated to other departments, no costs are re-circulated back to that service department. Which of the above statements is (are) correct?
a. I, II, and III.
b. I only.
c. I and II.
d. II only.
e. I and III.
Answer:
The correct statements under the step-down method are:
a. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The step-down method of allocating the costs of service departments is one of the three methods in use. The others include the direct method and the reciprocal method. With the direct method, service departments' costs are directly allocated to the production departments without any allocation to a service department. The reciprocal method is much more involved, using formulas and calculations. The step-down method allocates the service departments' costs to all the other service and production departments, except itself. This step is eventually followed until all the service departments' costs have been allocated to the production departments.
Assume that Canada imports more goods and services than it exports. Which of the following is true of the Canadian balance of payments accounts?
(A) The current account balance must be negative.
(B) The current account balance must be positive
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
(D) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be negative
(E) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be positive
Answer:
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
Explanation:
The Balance of trade refers to the net amount payable or receivable
In the case when the net amount is receivable so the balance of trade comes in positive and when the net amount payable is high than the balance of trade is negative.
Now
When the country exports greater than imports so it is a positive balance of Trade and on the other hand When the country imports greater than exports then the balance of trade is negative.
The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation: Year 1 Year 2 Number of units produced and sold 4,500 4,100 Sales revenue $ 69,750 $ 63,550 Cost of goods sold 41,700 38,000 Gross margin 28,050 25,550 General, selling, and administrative expenses 17,500 16,300 Net income $ 10,550 $ 9,250 Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two-year period, what is Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2?
Answer:
$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325

Explanation:
Locomotive Corporation is planning to repurchase part of its common stock by issuing corporate debt. As a result, the firm’s debt–equity ratio is expected to rise from 30 percent to 50 percent. The firm currently has $3.3 million worth of debt outstanding. The cost of this debt is 9 percent per year. Locomotive expects to have an EBIT of $1.32 million per year in perpetuity. Locomotive pays no taxes.
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
Equity value = Debt value / Debt to equity ratio
= 3,300,000/0.3
= 11,000,000
Market value = Debt value + Equity value
= $3,300,000 + $11,000,000
= $14,300,000
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
To solve this, we need to know the interest payment first which will be:
= $3,300,000 × 9%
= $3,300,000 × 0.09
= $297000
Return on equity will now be:
= (EBIT - interest) / Equity
= (1320000 - 297000) / 11000000
= 9.30%
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
This will be:
= Earnings before Interest / Unlevered firm value
= 1320000 / 14300000
= 9.23%
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
This will be:
= 9.23% + 50% × (9.23% - 9%)
= 9.35%
