g Earnings per share Financial statement data for the years 20Y5 and 20Y6 for Black Bull Inc. follow: 20Y5 20Y6 Net income $1,687,000 $2,632,000 Preferred dividends $40,000 $40,000 Average number of common shares outstanding 90,000 shares 120,000 shares a. Determine the earnings per share for 20Y5 and 20Y6. Round to two decimal places. 20Y5 20Y6 Earnings per Share $fill in the blank 1 $fill in the blank 2 b. Is the change in the earnings per share from 20Y5 to 20Y6 favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
a) EPS
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2005 Earnings per share=$21.6
b) EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable
Explanation:
Earnings per share(EPS) is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Earnings per share = (Net income after tax - preference dividend)/Number of shares
2005 Earnings per share = $1,687,000- $40,000/90,000 shares=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=($2,632,000- $40,000)/120,000 shares=$21.6
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=$21.6
EPS Variance
Comparing the EPS the Earning per share in 2006 is higher than that of 2005. Hence, the variance = 21.6-18.3= $3.3 favorable
EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable

Explanation:
Foods Galore is a major distributor to restaurants and other institutional food users. Foods Galore buys cereal from a manufacturer for $20.00 per case. Annual demand for cereal is 200,000 cases, and the company believes that the demand is constant at 800 cases per day for each of the 250 days per year that it is open for business. Average lead time from the supplier for replenishment orders is eight days, and the company believes that it is also constant. The purchasing agent at Foods Galore believes that annual inventory carrying cost is 10 percent and that it costs $40.00 to place an order.
How many cases of cereal should Foods Galore order each time it places an order? What is the total annual inventory cost if you order based on your Economic Order Quantity? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost). What is the total annual inventory cost if Foods Galore orders 10,000 each order at $18 per case? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost)
Answer:
The appropriate solution is:
(a) 2828 cases each time
(b) $4005656.85
(c) $3609800
Explanation:
The given values are:
Annual demand,
D = 200,000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $20
Carrying host,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 20[/tex]
= $[tex]2[/tex]
Ordering cost,
S = $40
(a)
The economic order quantity will be:
⇒ [tex]Q^*=\sqrt{(\frac{2DS}{H} )}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\sqrt{[\frac{(2\times 200000\times 40)}{2} ]}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{16000000}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]=2828[/tex]
(b)
According to the question,
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q^*}) S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{2828}) 40[/tex]
= [tex]2828.85[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q^*}{2})H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{2828}{2} )2[/tex]
= [tex]2828[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 20[/tex]
= [tex]4000000[/tex] ($)
Now,
The total inventory cost will be:
= [tex]2828.85+2828+4000000[/tex]
= [tex]4005656.85[/tex] ($)
(c)
According to the question,
Order quantity,
Q = 10000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $18
Carrying cost,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]1.8[/tex]
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q} )S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{10000} )40[/tex]
= [tex]800[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q}{2} )H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{10000}{2} )1.8[/tex]
= [tex]9000[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]3600000[/tex]
Now,
The total cost of inventory will be:
= [tex]800+9000+3600000[/tex]
= [tex]3609800[/tex] ($)
"Minimum wage laws cause unemployment because the legal minimum wage is set" 9) A) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. B) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. C) too low. D) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply. E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Answer: E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Explanation:
Minimum wage simply refers to the lowest wage that employers can pay their workers. Minimum wage is a form of price floor which means that it's typically higher than the equilibrium or market wage.
In this case, since it's higher than the market wage, there'll be an increase in the supply of labor as those that are unemployed will be willing to work duw to the increase in the wage rate.
On the other hand, there'll be a reduction in the demand for labor as employers typically will want to reduce cost and won't be interested in employing more workers.
Therefore, the correct option is E

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of $5 per year at $48 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for $33 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is $4.00; and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock.
Required:
a. What is the cost of each of the capital components?
b. What is Adamson's WACC?
Answer:
a. Cost of debt = Interest * (1 - Tax rate)
= 10%*(1 - 0.30)
= 7%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/ Issue price
= 5/48
= 10.42%
Cost of common stock (Cost of retained earnings) = (D1/P0) + g
= (4/33) + 0.07
= 0.12 + 0.07
= 0.19
= 19%
b. Fund Cost Weight Cost * Weight
Debt 7% 0.15 1.05%
Preferred stock 10.42% 0.10 1.042%
Retained earnings 19% 0.75 14.25%
WACC 16.342%
An analysis of stockholders' equity of Hahn Corporation as of January 1, 2020, is as follows: Common stock, par value $20; authorized 100,000 shares; issued and outstanding 90,000 shares $1,800,000 Additional Paid-in capital 900,000 Retained earnings 760,000 Total $3,460,000 During 2020, the company entered into the following transactions: Acquired 2,500 shares of its stock for $75,000. Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share. Sold the remaining treasury shares at $20 per share. Assuming no other equity transactions occurred during 2020, what should Hahn report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital?
Answer:
$905,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should Hahn report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital
Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + (2,000 × $5) –[(2,500-2,000)× $10]
Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + (2,000 × $5) – (500 × $10)
Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + $10,000-$5,000
Total Additional Paid-in capital = $905,000
Therefore The amount that Hahn should report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital is $905,000
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.

How much interest (to the nearest dollar) would be saved on the following loan if the condominium were financed for 15 rather than 30 years? A $256,000 condominium bought with a 30% down payment and the balance financed for 30 years at 3.05%
Answer:
The interest saved is $49569.228 or $49569.
Explanation:
Total price of Condominium=$256,000
Downpayment=30% of total price=30%x$256,000= 76800
Amount Financed=Total Payment-Downpayment
Amount Financed=256000-76800=179200
Annual Interest rate=3.05%
Monthly interest rate =[tex]\frac{3.05\%}{12}[/tex]=0.25146%
The montly installment is calculated as follows:
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}[/tex]
Here
M is the montly installmentP is the amount financedr is the montly rate in percentagen is the number of yearst is the number of months in a yearCase 1 when the number of years is 30.
So the equation becomes
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}\right)^{30*12}}{\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+0.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200\times {0.0025146}}{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{30*12}}\\M=\dfrac{450.61632}{0.59510 }\\M=\$757.2087[/tex]
So the total amount paid in installments is
[tex]T=M\times n\times t[/tex]
So the equation becomes
[tex]T=M\times n\times t\\T=757.2087\times 30\times 12\\T=\$272595.132[/tex]
So the interest is given as
[tex]I=T-P\\I=272595.132-179200\\I=\$93395.132[/tex]
So a total interest of $93395.132 is paid when the amount is financed for 30 years.
Case 2 when the number of years is 15.
So the equation becomes
[tex]M=\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{r}{100}}\right)^{nt}}{\dfrac{r}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}\right)^{15*12}}{\dfrac{0.25146}{100}}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1+0.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200}{\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}{0.0025146}}\\\\M=\dfrac{179200\times {0.0025146}}{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{1.0025146}\right)^{15*12}}\\M=\dfrac{450.61632}{0.36368 }\\M=\$1239.0328[/tex]
So the total amount paid in installments is
[tex]T=M\times n\times t[/tex]
So the equation becomes
[tex]T=M\times n\times t\\T=1239.0328\times 15\times 12\\T=\$223025.904[/tex]
So the interest is given as
[tex]I=T-P\\I=223025.904-179200\\I=\$43825.904[/tex]
So a total interest of $43825.904 is paid when the amount is financed for 15 years.
The savings on interest if the condominium is financed for 15 years is given as
[tex]S=I_{30}-I_{15}\\S=93395.132-43825.904\\S=49569.228[/tex]
The interest saved is $49569.228 or $49569.
Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90
The following information pertains to Lightning Inc., at the end of December: Credit Sales $ 20,000 Accounts Payable 10,000 Accounts Receivable 11,800 Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 400 credit Cash Sales 20,000 Lightning uses the aging method and estimates it will not collect 7% of accounts receivable not yet due, 20% of receivables up to 30 days past due, and 46% of receivables greater than 30 days past due. The accounts receivable balance of $11,800 consists of $7,500 not yet due, $2,300 up to 30 days past due, and $2,000 greater than 30 days past due. What is the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Answer:
The appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense is $3,345.20.
Explanation:
The appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense can be calculated as follows:
Bad debt expense = (Percentage of accounts receivable not yet due it will not collect * Accounts receivable not yet due) + (Percentage of receivables up to 30 days past due it will not collect * Amount of receivables up to 30 days past due) + (Parentage of receivables of receivables greater than 30 days past due it will not collect * Amount of receivables greater than 30 days past due) - Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (credit) ……………………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Bad debt expense = (7% * $7,500) + (20% + $2,300) + (46% * $2,000) - $400 = $3,345.20
Therefore, the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense is $3,345.20.
Norris Company has the following capital structure: Common stock, $1 par, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding. On October 1, 2020, the company declared a 5% common stock dividend when the market price of the common stock was $15 per share. The stock dividend will be distributed on October 15, 2020, to stockholders on record on October 10, 2020. Upon declaration of the stock dividend, Norris Company would record:
Answer: Debit to retained earnings of $75000
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the stock dividend will be:
= 100,000 shares x 5%
= 100000 × 0.05
= 5,000 shares.
Since the market price is $15 per share, then the retained earnings will be:
= $15 × 5000
= $75000
Stock dividend distributable will be:
= 5,000 x $1
= $5000
Paid in capital in excess of par = $75000 - $5000 = $70000
The journal entry will be:
Debit Retained earnings $75000
Credit Stock dividend distributable $5,000
Credit Paid in capital in excess of par $70000

In this case, the broadcast license qualifies as anindefinite-life intangible asset and is not subject to amortization. Therefore, the firm carries the broadcast license at its original cost of $786,000.
On December 31, 2015 the company noted substantial declines in radio advertising revenues over the past year due to expanded satellite radiosubscriptions, Internet broadcasts, and the use of iPod players. Based on the required annual review and consideration of the available impairment indicators, management believes that it is more likely than not that the broadcast license may be impaired. Therefore, the company must test the broadcast license for impairment. Similar broadcast licenses have been sold in auctions for $676,000.
Assuming that renewal of the broadcast license is probable for this indefinite-life intangible asset, analyze the accounting for impairment and prepare the journal entries.
1.) Conduct the impairment test indicated forindefinite-life intangible asset at the end of the year and determine the impairment loss, if any. (If you selected "No" that an impairment loss is not indicated, then leave the impairment loss input cell blank. Show a loss with a parentheses or minus sign.)
2.) Next, prepare the journal entry required to record any impairment loss. (Record debits first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries. If no entry is required select "No Entry Required" on the first line of the journal entry table and leave all remaining cells in the tableblank.)

1) The impairment loss = $110,000.
2) Journal Entry to record the impairment loss:
Debit Broadcast License Impairment Loss $110,000
Credit Accumulated Impairment Loss $110,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Broadcast license original cost (book value) = $786,000
Market value of similar broadcast license = 676,000
Impairment loss = $110,000
b) US GAAP defines impairment loss as the decrease in an asset's net carrying value. This means that impairment loss arises when the book or net carrying value is greater than the future estimated cash flows or the market value of the asset.
Computing Straight-Line and Double-Declining-Balance Depreciation
On January 2, 2016, Dechow Company purchases a machine to help manufacture a part for one of its key products. The machine cost $306,180 and is estimated to have a useful life of six years, with an expected salvage value of $32,760.
Compute each year's depreciation expense for 2016 and 2017 for each of the following depreciation methods.
a. Straight-line.
b. Double-declining balance.
Answer:
a.
2016 = $45,570
2017 = $45,570
b.
2016 = $102,080
2017 = $68,014
Explanation:
Straight line method
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
2016
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
2017
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
Double declining method
Double declining method charges a higher amount of depreciation at the early years and less in the later years
Depreciation Charge = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
2016
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x $306,180 = $102,080
2017
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x ($306,180 - $102,080) = $68,014

During the current year, the company purchased equipment for $212,000 on October 1. It is estimated the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 40,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,000. During the current year, the company uses the equipment for 525 hours and the equipment produced 1,000 unites. The company uses December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Part 1: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method.
Part 2: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the activity method (units of output).
Part 3: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the activity method (working hours).
Answer:
$6250
$5000
$5250
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($212,000 - $12,000) / 8 = $25,000
The machine was used for only 3 months in the fiscal year. Thus, the depreciation expense = $25,000 x (3/12) = $6250
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1000 / 40,000) x ($212,000 - $12,000) = $5000
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
($212,000 - $12,000) x (525 / 20,0000) = $5250
Monsanto Company, a large chemical and fibers company, invested $37 million in state-of-the-art systems to improve process control, laboratory automation, and local area network (LAN) communications. The investment was not justified merely on cost savings but was also justified on the basis of qualitative considerations. Monsanto management viewed the investment as a critical element toward achieving its version of the future. What qualitative and quantitative considerations do you believe Monsanto would have considered in its strategic evaluation of these investments
Solution :
The investment which was made by the Monsanto Company had both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspect of the investment represents the strategic evaluation which relates to the investment in order to improve the process control and the laboratory automation. While improving the process control helps in controlling the working process of the machines and the human force which reduces the wastage to a large extent, it also increases the efficiency and it reduces the cost per unit.
The laboratory automation increases the efficiency of working and also increases the production. Strengthening the LAN network improves the organizations' communication and also reduces the unnecessary delays in the work saving cost. Improving the local area network provides qualitative improvement and it speeds up the work thus reducing the wastage of time and promotes effective communication.
One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.
Answer:
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
Explanation:
If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.

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

oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.
Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 20X1, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 20X2, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.
Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1 20x2?
Answer:
$76,620.83
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows
Future Value (FV) = $100,000
Rate of interest = 10% yearly
Rate of interest (Rate) = 10%÷ 2 = 5% semiannually
Number of period (Nper) = 9 × 2 = 18
Face value = $100,000
Payment (pmt) = $100,000 × (6%÷2) = $3,000
By putting the value in excel present value formula, we get,
PV = $76,620.83

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
