Firm J has net income of $77,605, sales of $935,000, and average total assets of $467,500. Required: Calculate Firm J’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Firm J's margin= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover= 2

Firm J's ROI= 16.6%

Explanation:

Form J has a net income of $77,605

The sales is $935,000

The average total assets is $467,500

Firm J's margin can be calculated as follows

Margin= Net income/sales

= $77,605/$935,000

= 0.083×100

= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover can be calculated as follows

Turnover= Sales/Average Total assets

= $935,000/$467,500

= 2

Firm J's return on investment can be calculated as follows

ROI= Net income/Average Total assets

= $77,605/$467,500

= 0.166×100

= 16.6%

Hence Firm J's margin, turnover and return on investment is 8.3%, 2 and 16.6% respectively.

Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. Its bonds have a 7.5% coupon, paid semi-annually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,105.78. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 8% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.8, the risk-free rate is 2.45%, and the market risk premium is 5%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
A. What is the companyâs cost of preferred equity?
B. What is the companyâs cost of common equity?
C. What is the companyâs WACC?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the company's cost of preferred equity?

8.42%

B. What is the company's cost of common equity?

11.45%

C. What is the company's WACC?

9.31%

Explanation:

20% debt ⇒ after tax cost of debt 3.76%

20% preferred stock ⇒ 8.42%

60% common equity ⇒ 11.45%

in order to determine the after tax cost of debt we must first determine the yield to maturity of debt:

approximate YTM = {37.5 +[(1,000 - 1,150.78)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150.78)/2] = 33.7305 / 1,075.39 = 3.3166% x 2 = 6.2732%

after tax cost of debt = 6.2732% x 0.6 = 3.76%

cost of preferred stocks = 8 / (100 x 0.95) = 8 / 95 = 8.42%

cost of equity (Re) = 2.45% + (1.8 x 5%) = 2.45% + 9% = 11.45%

WACC = (60% x 11.45%) + (20% x 8.42%) + (20% x 3.76%) = 6.87% + 1.684% + 0.752% = 9.306% = 9.31%

Machine hours                                2,000                               10,000

Department A:

Manufacturing overhead rate = $60,000/$30,000 x 100 = 200%

Department B:

Manufacturing overhead rate = $50,000/10,000 = $5.00

The Watts Company Department A will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost in order to arrive at an estimate of $60,000 ($30,000 x 200%).  The Department B will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of $5 per machine hour to arrive at an estimate of $50,000 (10,000 x $5).

This year Burchard Company sold 37,000 units of its only product for $16.40 per unit. Manufacturing and selling the product required $122,000 of fixed manufacturing costs and $182,000 of the fixed selling and administrative costs. It?s per unit variable costs follow.

Material $4.20
Direct labor (paid on the basis of completed units) 3.20
Variable overhead costs 0.42
Variable selling and administrative costs 0.22
Next year the company will use new material, which will reduce material costs by 50% and direct labor costs by 50% and will not affect product quality or marketability. Management is considering an increase in the unit selling price to reduce the number of units sold because the factory's output is nearing its annual output capacity of 42,000 units. Two plans are being considered. Under plan 1, the company will keep the selling price at the current level and sell the same volume as last year. This plan will increase income because of the reduced costs of using the new material. Under plan 2, the company will increase the selling price by 20%. This plan will decrease unit sales volume by 5%. Under both plans 1 and 2, the total fixed costs and the variable costs per unit for overhead and for selling and administrative costs will remain the same.

Answers

Answer:

Fontaine - $233,000Monroe - $191,000

Explanation:

Fontaine invested a building that had a value of $366,000 but the partnership assumes a $133,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property. This therefore reduces Fontaine's contribution;

= 366,000 - 133,000

= $233,000

Monroe contributed both cash and equipment so that would go to Monroe's capital account as their capital contribution;

= 108,000 + 83,000

= $191,000

For 2020, what amount of Equity Income will Emily record? How to get the answer of 1,125,000

Answers

Answer:

$ 1,125,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record

First step is to find the Net equity income using this formula

Net equity income= Net income +Dividends

Let plug in the formula

Net equity income=$250,000+$25,000

Net equity income=$225,000

Second step is to find the balance of investment using this formula

Balance of investment= (Common stock + Net equity income )- Amortization of unrecorded patent

Let plug in the formula

Balance of investment =($1,000,000+$225,000 )-($600,000/6)

Balance of investment=$1,225,000-$100,000

Balance of investment = $ 1,125,000

Therefore the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record will be $ 1,125,000

Explanation:

To judge a diversification change, an organization needs to pass the attractiveness tests, the entry cost test and the best situation test.

These tests will be decisive to analyze the potential that diversification will have to create added value for the shareholder.

The attractiveness test will list the ability that the market has to ensure that there is a safe return on investments.

The cost-of-entry will aim to ensure that when entering a new sector, the organization does not have higher costs that can influence the generation of profitability.

Finally, the better-off test will analyze whether the planned diversification will be so profitable that it will help to improve the performance of the integration of organizational businesses.

If there is a market with the below noted market segmentation, what would the four firm market concentration ratio be?

Distribution of sales: 30%, 3%,10%, 5%,15%, 2%, 35%

a. 10
b. 90
c. 50
d. 40

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90    

Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

Due to numerous lawsuits, major chemical manufacturer has recently experienced a market reevaluation. The firm has 15-year, 8% coupon bond, paid semiannually and par value of $1,000. The required nominal rate (yield) on this debt has now risen to 10%. What is the current price of this bond?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.08 * 1/2 * 1000 = $40

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 10% * 1/2 = 5% or 0.05

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 40 * [( 1 - (1+0.05)^-30) / 0.05]  +  1000 / (1+0.05)^30

Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28

Answers

Answer:

d.$4,662.40 unfavorable

Explanation:

Calculation for direct materials price variance

The first step is to find the Actual quantity variance using the formula

Actual quantity variance =Actual units produced* Actual yard used

Let plug in the formula

Actual quantity variance=9,400*4.96 yards

Actual quantity variance=$46,624

Second step is to calculate for the Direct material price variance using this formula

Direct material price variance= ( Standard price -Actual price)* Actual quantity used

Let plug in the formula

Direct material price variance=($1.93-$2.03)*$46,624

Direct material price variance=(-0.1*46,624)

Direct material price variance=-$4,662.40 Unfavorable

Therefore the Direct material price variance will be $4,662.40 Unfavorable

Sheffield Corp. determines that 53000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in July. There are 3100 pounds of direct materials on hand at July 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2700 pounds. If the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Explanation:

Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.

Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory

Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600  pounds

Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.

On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.

Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity

Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as: Multiple Choice 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 2 days. 2% discount if paid within 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 10 days. 10% cash discount if the amount is paid within 2 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Answers

Answer:

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as:

2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Explanation:

I will explain using an example:

On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.

January 2

Dr Accounts receivable 1,000

    Cr Sales revenue

If the client pays within the discount period:

January 11

Dr Cash 980

Dr Sales discounts 20

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:

January 31

Dr Cash 1,000

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.

Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.

It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30. This implies that if the invoice is paid in full within ten days, a 2% reduction is applied; otherwise, the full amount is owed.

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is used to measure market saturation to see the concentration of a market. It ranges from around 0 to 10,000 and is calculated by squaring the market share of every firm in the market and then adding the squares up.

= 40² + 20² + 15² + 15² + 10²

= 1600 + 400 + 225 + 225 + 100

= 2,550

El Tapitio purchased restaurant furniture on September 1, 2018, for $30,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 10-year service life is expected to be $4,500. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019, using the straight-line method, and assuming a December 31 year-end.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $30,000 (September)

Salvage value= $4,500

Useful life= 10

First, we need to determine the annual depreciation using the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (30,000 - 4,500)/10

Annual depreciation= $2,550

2018:

Annual depreciation= (2,550/12)*4= $850

2019:

Annual depreciation= $2,550

B. The company used a lower quantity of direct materials than allowed by the standards.
C. The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.
D. The company used fewer labor hours than allowed by the standards,

Answers

Answer:

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The labour cost variance is the difference between the standard labour cost allowed for the actual hours worked and the actual labor cost for the same hours

The labour cost variance compares the actual cost  and the standard cost for the actual labour hours paid for.

Hence , Poseidon Marine Stores Company would have paid a sum for labour cost which is lower than the standard cost.

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Answers

Answer:

Margin ratio =  14.32%

Assets turnover ratio = 63.41%

Return on investment = 9.08%

Explanation:

The computation of margin, turnover, and ROI for the year is shown below:-

Margin ratio = Net income ÷ Sales

= $74,480 ÷ $520,000

= 0.1432

or

= 14.32%

Assets turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Average total assets

= $520,000 ÷ $820,000

= 0.6341

or

= 63.41%

Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average total assets

= $74,480 ÷ $820,000

= 0.0908

or

= 9.08%

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?

Answers

Answer:

5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150

Explanation:

Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.

Price of fish = $5 per pound.

There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.

For 1 boat

Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000

Cost = $500

Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500

Profit = $500.

For 2 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500

Profit of each boat = $450.

For 3 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500

Profit of each boat = $375

For 4 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500

Profit of each boat = $275

For 5 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500

Profit of each boat = $150.

Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.

A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold $28,875

Ending inventory $1,125

Explanation:

Calculation for cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Cost of goods sold is calculated using this formula

Cost of goods sold=Sales units *Purchased per units

Let plug in the formula

Cost of goods sold=385 units *$75 per unit

Cost of goods sold=$28,875

Calculation for the ending inventory using this formula

Ending inventory=(Purchased units * purchased per unit) -Cost of goods sold

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory=(400 units× 75 per unit) -$28,875

Ending inventory=$30,000-$28,875

Ending inventory=$1,125

Therefore the Cost of goods sold will be $28,875 while the Ending inventory will be $1,125
