What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?
Answer:
The present value = $3,602.30
Explanation:
To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:
[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]
where:
FV = Future value = $4,500
PV = Present value = ??
r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045
n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2
t = time = 5
[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]
Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30
Variable versus absorption costing Colorado Business Tools, manufactures calculators. Costs incurred in making 9,500 calculators in February included 29,450 of fixed manufacturing overhead. The total absorption cost per calculator was $10.25.
Required:
a. Calculate the variable cost per calculator.
b. The ending inventory of pocket calculators was 750 units higher at the end of the month than at the beginning of the month. By how much and in what direction (higher or lower) would operating income for the month of February be different under variable costing than under absorption costing?
c. Express the pocket calculator cost in a cost formula.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Difference in profit = $2,325
Cost formula : Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
Explanation:
Variable cost per calculator =Full cost - Fixed cost per unit
Full cost= $10.25
Fixed cost per unit = Total fixed costs / Number of units
= $29,450/9,500 units= 3.1
Variable cost per calculator = $10.25 - 3.1 = 7.15
Difference in profit = OAR (fixed cost per unit)× change in inventory
= 3.1 × 750 = $2,325
The absorption costing profit would be higher if there is an increase in increase at the end of the period and vice versa. Hence , an increase in inventory by 750 units would mean that absorption costing profit is higher by $2,325
Cost of calculator
Y = a +bx
Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
Y- total cost per unit
Fixed cost per unit = 3.1
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Variable cost per unit = 7.15
Difference in profit = $2,325
Cost formula : Y = 3.1 + 7.15X
Which of the following acts requires that a trustee be appointed for sales of bonds, debentures, and other debt securities of public corporations?

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.22 million
Explanation:
The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:
Cost of capital -discount rate -
WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd
After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56
WACC = (0.71×3.56 %) + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %
PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7
PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32
Initial cost = 9.1 million
NPV = 10.32 - 9.1 = 1.22 million
NPV = $1.22 million

If a bank that faces a 10% reserve ratio received a deposit of $50,000 and makes a loan to a customer for $5,000, what is the consequence if the bank then deposits the rest of the funds at the Federal Reserve?
Answer:
Excess reserve increases by $40,000
Required reserve increases by $5,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the reserve, we need to multiply the Deposit received by a required reserve ratio.
DATA
Reserve ratio = 10%
Deposit received = $50,000
Loan to customer = $5,000
Solution
Reserve = Deposit x Required reserve ratio
Reserve = $50,000 x 10%
Reserve = $5,000
After providing a $5,000 loan to the customer and keeping $5,000 as a reserve remaining $40,000 would be deposited in the Federal Reserve.

Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. No contribution can be made
b. A contribution can be made based only on the income received from the trust fund.
c. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received
d. A contribution can be made based on both the income received from the trust fund and the alimony payments received
From the question, we are informed that a divorced woman with 2 young children has a small trust fund that gives her $2,500 a year in income and that she collects another $2,500 per year in alimony payments.
Based on the above analysis, the woman cannot make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year.
Identifying costs of inflation
Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the_______of inflation.
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the shoe-leather costs of inflation.
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy. Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
A Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs associated with time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting the bank in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Figuratively speaking, in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Kyoko is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to protect the store's revenues from the effects of inflation.
Mathys Inc. has recently hired a new independent auditor, Karen Ogleby, who says she wants "to get everything straightened out." Consequently, she has proposed the following accounting changes in connection with Mathys Inc.'s 2017 financial statements.1. At December 31, 2016, the client had a receivable of $820,000 from Hendricks Inc. on its balance sheet. Hendricks Inc. has gone bankrupt, and no recovery is expected. The client proposes to write off the receivable as a prior period item.2. The client proposes the following changes in depreciation policies.(a) For office furniture and fixtures, it proposes to change from a 10-year useful life to an 8-year life. If this change had been made in prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $250,000 less. The effect of the change on 2017 income alone is a reduction of $60,000.(b) For its new equipment in the leasing division, the client proposes to adopt the sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation method. The client had never used SYD before. The first year the client operated a leasing division was 2017. If straight-line depreciation were used, 2017 income would be $110,000 greater.3.In preparing its 2016 statements, one of the client's bookkeepers overstated ending inventory by $235,000 because of a mathematical error. The client proposes to treat this item as a prior period adjustment.4. In the past, the client has spread preproduction costs in its furniture division over 5 years. Because its latest furniture is of the "fad" type, it appears that the largest volume of sales will occur during the first 2 years after introduction. Consequently, the client proposes to amortize preproduction costs on a per-unit basis, which will result in expensing most of such costs during the first 2 years after the furniture's introduction. If the new accounting method had been used prior to 2017, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $375,000 less.5. For the nursery division, the client proposes to switch from FIFO to LIFO inventories because it believes that LIFO will provide a better matching of current costs with revenues. The effect of making this change on 2017 earnings will be an increase of $320,000. The client says that the effect of the change on December 31, 2016, retained earnings cannot be determined.6. To achieve an appropriate recognition of revenues and expenses in its building construction division, the client proposes to switch from the completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Had the percentage-of-completion method been employed in all prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $1,075,000 greater.Instructions(a) For each of the changes described above, decide whether:(1) The change involves an accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error.(2) Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.(b) What would be the proper adjustment to the December 31, 2016, retained earnings?
Answer:
Mathys Inc.
a. (1) Change in accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error:
1. Write-off of Accounts Receivable = Change in accounting estimate
2. Changes in depreciation policies = Changes in accounting estimate for the office furniture and the introduction of the sum-of-years' digit for the new leasing division's equipment.
3. Overstated Ending Inventory = Correction of an error
4. New accounting method for pre-production costs = Change in accounting estimate
5. Change from FIFO to LIFO = Change in accounting principle
6. Change from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method = Change in accounting principle
a. (2) If Restatement of opening retained earnings is required:
1. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
2. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
3. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
4. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
5. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
6. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
b) December 31, 2016 Retained Earnings Adjustments:
3. Debit Retained Earnings = ($235,000)
5. Debit Retained Earnings = ($320,000)
6. Credit Retained EArnings = $1,075,000
Net effect on 2016 Retained Earnings = an increase of $520,000
Explanation:
a) Data:
1. December 31, 2016 Write-off of Receivable (Hendricks Inc.) = $820,000
2. Changes in depreciation policies:
a) Office Furniture and Fixtures 10-year to 8-year useful life: Effect on Retained Earnings at December 31, 2016 = $250,000 less. Effect on 2017 Income = $60,000 less.
b) Equipment: sum-of-the-years' digits depreciation method: Effect on 2017 income = $110,000 more.
3. Ending inventory for 2016 overstated by $235,000 Prior period adjustment.
4. Preproduction costs for furniture division: New accounting method. Effect on 2016 Retained earnings = $375,000 less.
5. Inventories for Nursery division, from FIFO to LIFO to match current costs with revenues. Effect on 2017, an increase in Earnings = $320,000.
6. Building Construction Division from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Effect on Retained Earnings 2016 = $1,075,000 greater.
b) Mathys Inc. must correct accounting errors by adjusting previously issued financial statements retrospectively. An example of an accounting error is the overstatement of the ending inventory by $235,000. This implies that the 2016 Retained Earnings were overstated.
c) A good example of a change in accounting estimate is the change Mathys Inc. made of the office furniture's useful life from 10 years to 8. Such changes are not applied retroactively to prior years' financial statements.
d) When Marthys Inc. change the inventory valuation method from LIFO to FIFO, it made a change in an accounting principle. Such principle changes are done retroactively, with the restatement of the financial statements.
The common stock of Flavorful Teas has an expected return of 19.65 percent. The return on the market is 14.5 percent and the risk-free rate of return is 4.2 percent. What is the beta of this stock?
Answer:
beta= 1.5
Explanation:
The common stock of flavorful tea has an expected return of 19.65%
The return on the market is 14.5%
The risk-free rate is 4.2%
Therefore, the beta of the stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
19.65%= 4.2%+beta(14.5%-4.2%)
19.65%= 4.2% + 14.5beta-4.2beta
19.65%= 4.2% + 10.3beta
19.65%-4.2%= 10.3beta
15.45%= 10.3beta
beta= 15.45/10.3
beta= 1.5
Hence the beta of this stock is 1.5

T.J. manufactures cheap clothing that falls apart after minimal use.
Answer:
The correct answer is the last option: T.J. manufactures cheap clothing that falls apart after minimal use.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as "Strict Liability", in criminal and civil law, refers to the situation in which a person is legally responsible for the consequences flowing from an activity that it also applies even in those cases where there is an absence of fault or criminal intent from the figure of the defendant under court. Therefore that in the situations that are presented the one in where the strict liability does not applies is the case of T.J manufacturing cheap clothes because the person knows what the product is worth.
The following is not a situation in which strict liability applies is :
D) T.J. manufactures cheap clothing that falls apart after minimal use.
Strict Liability AppliesThe following is not a situation in which strict liability applies is that T.J. manufactures cheap clothing that falls apart after minimal use.
The strict liability exists when a litigant is at risk for committing an activity, notwithstanding of what his/her aim or mental state was when committing the activity.
In criminal law, ownership violations and statutory assault are both cases of strict risk offenses.
Therefore, that in the circumstances that are displayed the one in where the strict obligation does not applies is the case of T.J fabricating cheap dress since the individual knows what the item is worth.

Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
From the question we have here
If adults would pay 20$
Out of a 100% students:
60% would pay 15
40% would pay 10
If regular price = 20$
We are required to find discount
Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100
Discount = 0.5 x 100
Discount = 50%
The museum should offer 50percent discount.

You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.

According to information found on the production analysis page of the Inquirer, Chester sold 1127 units of Cute in the current year. Assuming that Cute maintains a constant market share, all the units of Cute are sold in the Nano market segment and the growth rate remains constant, how many years will it be before Cute will not be able to meet future demand unless the company adds production capacity
Answer:
1 year
Explanation:
Since it is mentioned that there is a constant market share, also the growth rate is also same so for meeting the future demand, the time period that would be considered is one year as the company should added its production capacity so that it could be in a position to meet the demand else the company is not able to meet its future demand
Hence, year 1 is considered
Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
$29.630
Explanation:
For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital
= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million
= $375 million
Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)
= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)
= $375 million ÷ 0.045
= $8,333.33 million
Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt
= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million
= $5,333.33 million
Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares
= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million
= $29.630

On February 1, 2020, Pat Weaver Inc. (PWI) issued 9%, $1,200,000 bonds for $1,500,000. PWI retired all of these bonds on January 1, 2021, at 105. Unamortized bond premium on that date was $126,000. How much gain or loss should be recognized on this bond retirement
Answer: Gain on bond retirement = $66,000
Explanation:
A gain on retirement of bonds occurs when a bond issuer or a corporation buys back bonds which it previously sold for an amount less than the book value of the particular liability while a loss would be recognized if the bought back bonds are more than the amount of the book value of the liability.
Book value / Carrying value = $1,200,000 + $126,000 =$1,326,000
paid at redemption = $1,200,000 x 105%= $1, 260,000
Gain on bond retirement = Book/ Carrying value -Amount paid at redemption
= $1,326,000 - $1, 260,000 = $66,000
Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $2,300 per month plus $6 per frame. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 861 frames, but the actual level of activity was 856 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $7,790. The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:
Answer:
$30 Favorable
Explanation:
Calculation for the activity variance for supplies cost in March
Using this formula
Activity variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Variable cost
Where,
Actual units=856
Budgeted units=861
Variable cost=$6
Let plug in the formula
Activity variance=(856-861) * $6
Activity variance=5*$6
Activity variance=$30 Favorable
Therefore the activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to: $30 Favorable
