Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the equity in his home is shown below;
Given that
Increased in the value of the house = $160,000
And, the amount he has to paid is
= Borrowed amount - down payment
= $80,000 - ($100,000 × 20%)
= $80,000 - $20,000
= $60,000
So, the equity is
= $160,000 - $60,000
= $100,000
hence, the equity value is $100,000
Answer:
The equity that Frank has in his home is $100000
Explanation:
The purchase price of house = $100000
The down payment = 20% or $100000 ×20% = $20000
The remaining amount paid by bank = $80000
The increased value of house = $160,000
Payment of loan amount = $20000
The Value of house is $160000 and he pays $20000 to the bank as a part of loan payment so reaming amount that he has to pay the bank is ($80000-20000) = $60000.
Thus, his equity will be $100000.
The Watts Company uses predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on labor cost in Dept. A and on machine-hours in Dept. B. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department A Department B
Direct labour cost $30,000 $40,000
Manufacturing overhead $60,000 $50,000
Direct labour hours 6,000 8,000
Machine hours 2,000 10,000
What predetermined overhead rates would be used in Departments A and B, respectively?
a. 50% and $8.00.
b. 50% and $5.00.
c. 110% and $15.00.
d. 200% and $5.00.
Answer:
The Watts Company
d. 200% and $5.00.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimates:
Department A Department B
Direct labour cost $30,000 $40,000
Manufacturing overhead $60,000 LH $50,000 MH
Direct labour hours 6,000 8,000
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).
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?
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
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a mathematical approach to understanding market concentration that provides a single concentration indicator. What is the HHI for an industry characterized by the below noted data?
a. Firm 1 has a market share of 40%
b. Firm 2 has a market share of 20%
c. Firm 3 has a market share of 15%
d. Firm 4 has a market share of 15%
e. Firm 5 has a market share of 10%
HHI=___
Answer: 2,550
Explanation;
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.
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
Suppose that in a competitive output market, firms hire labor from a competitive labor market (so that the profit maximization conditions for hiring labor are as we discussed in class). If the supply of this kind of labor increases, we would expect a(n) _____________.
A. increase in equilibrium wage, W, and increase in equilibrium quantity of labor, L, employed.
B. an increase in W and a decrease in L.
C. A decrease in W and a decrease in L.
D. A decrease in W and no change in L.
E. None of the above.
Answer:
e
Explanation:
When supply of labour increases, the supply curve shifts outward. As a result there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity but a decrease in wages
Each year, public schools are rewarded with bigger budgets for achieving a rating of "excellent" or "recommended" and are punished for rating "needs improvement." These ratings are based on meeting thresholds on a broad set of measures such as attendance rates, graduation rates, standardized test scores, SAT scores, and so on. True or False: This funding structure incentivizes schools to seek out and serve lower-performing students. True False
Answer:
Each year, public schools are rewarded with bigger budgets for achieving a rating of "excellent" or "recommended" and are punished for rating "needs improvement." These ratings are based on meeting thresholds on a broad set of measures such as attendance rates, graduation rates, standardized test scores, SAT scores, and so on. True or False
This funding structure incentivizes schools to seek out and serve lower-performing students. True False
Explanation:
The funding structure is meant to encourage public schools for improved performance in all the performance measures. These performance measures are the means to judge whether proper application is being achieved with the funds provided by the government to such schools. They also encourage healthy competition among public schools when followed judiciously. Since they have some internal and external benchmarks, the performance measures are like a balanced scorecard for performance evaluation.
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
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.

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?
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.
Jessie, an HR specialist, has been assigned the task of performing a job analysis for a new position created at the firm. What questions is LEAST relevant to the job analysis that Jessie will conduct?
Answer: D) What is the national hourly rate for this job?
Explanation:
Job analysis is done to help an organization ascertain what kind of person would be a right fit for the job. As such, it focuses on what the job entails as well as the requirements of the job and other details like its duration. This will help a company know the kind of person that will work best in the role.
The rate that the job pays is something that the company also analyzes but this is a very secondary aspect of job analysis and so it is the least relevant here.

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.
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.

A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory
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
Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $286,200. Its single product sells for $163 per unit, and variable costs are $110 per unit. Compute the level of sales in units needed to produce a target (pretax) income of $106,000.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $286,200
Selling price= $163 per unit
Unitary variable costs= $110
Desired profit= $106,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (286,200 + 106,000) / (163 - 110)
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units
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.

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?
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%

Answer:
D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.
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.

Explanation:
The following data relate to direct materials costs for February: Materials cost per yard: standard, $1.93; actual, $2.03 Standard yards per unit: standard, 4.68 yards; actual, 4.96 yards Units of production: 9,400 Calculate the direct materials price variance. a.$4,399.20 favorable b.$940.00 unfavorable c.$4,662.40 favorable d.$4,662.40 unfavorable
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
Emily Corporation purchased all of Ace Company's common stock on January 1, 2020, for $1,000,000 cash. The investee's stockholders' equity amounted to $400,000. The excess of $600,000 was due to an unrecorded patent with a six-year life. In 2020, Ace reported net income of $250,000 and paid dividends of $25,000.
For 2020, what amount of Equity Income will Emily record? How to get the answer of 1,125,000
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
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).
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.
