Answer:
1. The amount of the distribution treated as a dividend to Christine is equal to $450,000.
2. The amount of Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution is equal to $0.
3. Jayhawk's balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year is equal to the negative $297,500.
Explanation:
1. How much of the $500,000 distribution is treated as a dividend to Christine?
The amount of the distribution treated as a dividend to Christine is the equal to the current E&P of $450,000 reported by Jayhawk Company.
2. What is Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution?
This can b determined as follows:
Tax basis in Jayhawk stock after distribution = Max of (0, Current E&P + Previous tax basis - Distribution by Jayhawk') = Max of (0, $450,000 + $48,250 - $500,000) = Max of (0, - $1,750) = $0
Therefore, the amount of Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution is equal to $0.
3. What is Jayhawk’s balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year?
Jayhawk's balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year is equal to the negative $297,500. This is because all the E&P of last year is paid as dividend.
The Mighty Music Company produces and sells a desktop speaker for $100. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 speakers each period. At capacity, the costs assigned to each unit are as follows: Unit level costs $ 45 Product level costs $ 15 Facility level costs $ 5 The company has received a special order for 500 speakers. If this order is accepted, the company will have to spend $15,000 on additional costs. Assuming that no sales to regular customers will be lost if the order is accepted, at what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Using this formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( Additional cost ÷ Units sold number) + Unit level Cost
Let plug in the formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( $15,000 ÷ 500 ) + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $30 + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $75
Therefore The selling price that the company will be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order is $75

In a year, 100 burgers are traded at the rate of $5 per burger. Assume two scenarios:
a. The economy has $100 in the form of 20 pieces of $5 bills.
b. The economy has $100 in the form of 100 pieces of $1 bills.
Calculate the velocity of money for both situations.
1B.) For a country A, the GDP growth rate is 8 percent and inflation is 4 percent. If the velocity of money remains constant, what is the change in real money balances?
Answer:
a. 5
b. 5
1B. 8%
Explanation:
a. MV = PY
Money Supply * Velocity of money = Price level * Real GDP
100 * V = 5 * 100
100V = 500
V = 5
b. Velocity = 5
It will not change because the money supply for both questions is the same = $100.
1.B. Change in real money balances = 8%
The change in real money balances will be the same as the GDP growth rate if velocity is constant.

The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%
In an indirect message, valid reasons for the refusal are presented before the bad news. Which option is most effective? a.If we accepted your rather dated desktops and laptops, we would risk software incompatibility, high repair bills, and substantial replacement costs for missing input and output devices. b.We're very sorry but our policy does not allow us to accept donations of used computing equipment. c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Answer:
c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Explanation:
An indirect message aims to soften bad news, to achieve this goal the message is transmitted through a soothing speech, where there is an explanation of the reasons for the bad news before reaching the fact, in order to cushion the impact that the message may cause. Indirect discourse is more accepted in the case of the transmission of bad news, as individuals generally tend to better understand the facts when they are explained through evidence.
Therefore, the letter c corresponds more adequately to an indirect speech.

7. You are considering the possibility of replacing an existing machine that has a book value of $500,000, a remaining depreciable life of five years, and a salvage value of $300,000. The replacement machine will cost $2 million and have a ten-year life. Assuming that you use straight-line depreciation and that neither machine will have any salvage value at the end of the next ten years, how much would you need to save each year to make the change (the tax rate is 40 percent)
Answer:
$221344.48
Explanation:
Book value of existing machine = $500,000
remaining depreciable life = 5 years
salvage value = $300,000
cost of replacement machine = $2 million
depreciable life = 10 years
Tax rate = 40 %
Difference in the cost of new machine and salvage value of existing machine
= 2,000,000 - 300,000 = $1,700,000
Calculate the depreciation tax benefit of new machine = ( 500,000 / 5 ) * 0.4 = $40,000
next calculate the present value of this tax benefit
= $40000,PVAF(1.10,5years)^5 ------- ( 1 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)5 = 3.7907)
Insert value into equation 1 (to calculate the present value of the tax benefit
= 40000*3.79078676 = $1,51,631.47 ( present value of tax benefit )
Determine the Annual depreciation tax advantage of the new machine
= (2,000,000/10)*0.40 = $80,000
Determine present value of this annuity
= $80,000,PVAF(1.10,10years)^10 ------ ( 2 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)^10 ) = 6.144567
Insert value into equation2 ( to calculate the present value of this annuity )
= 80000 * 6.144567 = $491565.36
Therefore the Net cost of the new machine will be
= $491565.36 - $151631.47 - $1,700,000 = $1,360,066
Annual savings on the new machine in 10 years
= 1,360,066 / 6.144567 = $221344.48
The Jamison Company's inventory was destroyed on July 4, 2016, when its warehouse caught on fire early in the morning. Inventory was totally destroyed. The accounting records, which were located in a fireproof vault, contained the following information: Sales (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)$240,000 Purchases (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)180,000 Inventory (1/1/16)45,000 Gross profit ratio25% of cost Using the gross profit method, what is the estimated cost of the inventory that was destroyed by the fire
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, the estimated cost of inventory that was destroyed by fire is computed as
= [Sales - (Purchases + Inventory)]
Given that;
Sales 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $240,000
Purchases 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $180,000
Inventory 1/1/16 = $45,000
= [$240,000 - ($180,000 + $45,000)]
= $240,000 - $225,000
= $15,000
Assume that a business has $50000 of current assets and $40000 of current liabilities. What is the company’s current ratio?
Answer:
The company's current ratio is 1.25.
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities:
current assets=$50000
current liabilities=$40000
current ratio=$50000/$40000
current ratio=1.25
According to this, the answer is that the company's current ratio is 1.25.
Myrna and Geoffrey filed a joint tax return in 2018. Their AGI was $85,000, and itemized deductions were $24,700, which included $7,000 in state income tax and no other state or local taxes. In 2019, they received a $1,800 refund of the state income taxes that they paid in 2018. The standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 was $24,000.
Under the tax benefit rule, what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019?
Answer:
$700
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019
Standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 $24,000
Less itemized deductions ($24,700)
State income tax refund included in gross income in 2019 $700
($24,000-$24,700)
Therefore the state income tax refund that is included in gross income in 2019 will be $700
A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 4%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
The bond was sold at $1,136.78.
Explanation:
Annual coupon = Bond face value * Coupon rate = $1000 * 5% = $50
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) .......... (1)
Where;
r = semi-annul interest rate = 4% / 2 = 2%, or 0.02
n = number of period = 20 years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40 semi-annuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.02))^40)/0.02) = 27.3554792407382
Present value of coupon = (Annual coupon * Annual coupon discount factor) / 2 = ($50 * 27.3554792407382) / 2 = $683.886981018455
Present value of the face value of the bond = Face value / (1 + r)^n = $1,000 / (1 + 0.02)^40 = $452.890415185236
Therefore, we have:
Price of bond = Present value of coupon + Present value of the face value of the bond = $683.886981018455 + $452.890415185236 = $1,136.77739620369
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price of bond = $1,136.78
Therefore, the bond was sold at $1,136.78.
In your own words, discuss GAP management and then suggest a way to reduce the impact of its limitation. Do not duplicate limitations and solutions; that is, you can discuss the same limitation as a fellow student if you are able to suggest a different way of reducing the impact.
Answer:
Gap management is a strategy which every business follows. A business can be successful only if it sets goals for its future.
Explanation:
Gap management is the difference between where an organization stands today and where it wants to be in future. A company's management will set its own targets and then sets position of the company. There are limitation of gap management as there can be targets which are sometimes unachievable or there are some external forces which hinders the business progress.

Answer:
Business; competitors; secret; readily available; difficult; reasonable efforts.
Explanation:
A trade secret is a formula, device, process, method, or compilation of information that, when used in business, gives the owner an advantage over competitors who do not know the secret information.
In addition to considering the competitive advantage, a court will consider whether the information was, readily available and difficult (and/or expensive) to obtain, when determining whether something is a trade secret. Another important consideration is whether the company made reasonable efforts to protect it.
For example, the recipe and ingredients used in the manufacturing of popular soft drinks and alcoholic beverages is a trade secret that isn't known to many people around the world.

= $440.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1/20 inventory 150 $4.00 $600
1/15/20 Purchase, 70 5.10 357
1/28/20 Purchase, 70 5.30 371
Total 240 $1,328
1/31/20 inventory 110 $4.00 $440 ($4.00 * 110)
b) The LIFO method assumes that goods that are sold first are the last that were purchased. Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory is usually based on the cost of the earlier inventory purchased. In our case, the cost per unit was based on the beginning inventory balance.

These two things would be required that can impact the awareness and the motivation level of the firm
hence, the option b is correct
The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.
Judge made laws are known as
Portfolio Returns i. stock has mean of 8% and stdev of 20%; ii bond has mean of 6% and stdev of 15%; iii correlation b/w stock and bond of -0.3; iv. Risk free rate for cash lending and borrowing is at 1%. a. What is the mean and stdev of a portfolio of that is 60% in stock and 40% in bond (3 points)
Answer:
Portfolio Mean = 7.2%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each securityr represents the mean return of each securityPortfolio Mean = 60% * 8% + 40% * 6%
Portfolio Mean = 7.2%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated using the attached formula.
Portfolio Stdev = √(0.6)² (0.2)² + (0.4)² (0.15)² + 2(0.6) (0.4) (-0.3) (0.2) (0.15)
Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40

Glenville Company has the following information for April:
Cost of direct materials used in production $48,000
Direct labor 59,000
Factory overhead 37,000
Work in process inventory, April 1 40,000
Work in process inventory, April 30 40,000
Finished goods inventory, April 1 29,000
Finished goods inventory, April 30 18,000
Required:
For April, determine the cost of goods manufactured.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $144,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of direct materials used in production $48,000
Direct labor 59,000
Factory overhead 37,000
Work in process inventory, April 1 40,000
Work in process inventory, April 30 40,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 48,000 + 59,000 + 37,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $144,000

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with three years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:$960,214.55$504,112.64$680,151.97$800,178.79
Answer: $800,178.79
Explanation:
This is a semi-annual coupon bond so convert rate and period to semi annual rates.
Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000,000 * 1/2 years
= $15,000
YTM = 11%/2 = 5.5%
Number of periods = 3 years * 2 = 6 semi annual periods
Value of Bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of par
= 15,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 5.5%)⁻⁶) / 5.5%) + 1,000,000 / (1 + 5.5%)⁶
= 74,932.9546296555 + 725,245.8330245964
= $800,178.79
