Answer:
Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.
A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.
Larry's current investment in the company is $86,000.
= 2,000 stocks x $43 = $86,000
If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $82,560.
company's new market value = (20,000 x $43) + (5,000 x $34.40) = $1,032,000
new stock price = $1,032,000 / 25,000 stocks = $41.28
= $41.28 x 2,000 = $82,560
This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.
The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.
Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.
Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.
If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $103,200.
= [(5,000 / 10) x $34.40] + $86,000 = $17,200 + $86,000 = $103,200
Cullumber Corporation had 312,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Cullumber issued 29,700 shares.
(a) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued for cash.
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding $
(b) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 29,700 shares were issued in a stock dividend.
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding $
Answer:
a. Issued for Cash = ($312,000 * 12/12) + ($29,700 * 8/12)
= $312,000 + $19,800
= $331,800
b. Issued in a stock dividend: Shares issued in the stock dividend are assumed outstanding from the beginning of the year
= ($312,000 * 12/12) + ($29,700 * 12/12)
= $312,000 + $29,700
= $341,700

RLW-II Enterprises estimated that indirect manufacturing costs for the year would be $60 million and that 12,000 machine hours would be used
Answer: $3,150,000
Explanation:
Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.
Indirect Costs
It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.
Indirect cost per machine hour is;
= 60,000,000/12,000
= $5,000 per hour
With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;
= 200 * 5,000
= $1,000,000
Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000
= $3,150,000

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?
Answer:
I will borrow yen at 6% a year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000
Spot rate = $1 = ¥107
Forward rate = $1 to ¥120
Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months
Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)
Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)
Gain from forward contract = $404.99
Interest cost for borrowing = 112.15
Overall debt hedging gain = $292.84
By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84. This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen. Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.
A company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The cash paid on July 1 to the bond holder(s) is:
Answer: $4950
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:
= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12
= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12
= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5
= $4,950

If United Airlines acted as a "price leader" and all other airlines simply charged the same prices
that United Airlines charged, then could this action be illegal because it is a form of "silent collusion?"
A. There is no such term in microeconomics known as "tacit" or "silent collusion."
B. Matching the prices of the price leader firm is a good example of a competitive market.
C. The U.S. Anti-Trust Department has always considered this business behavior as suspicious
and it does consider this pricing strategy to be illegal.
D. The famous 1982 anti-monopoly IBM court case said that this pricing strategy within an
industry is legal as long as the firms fill out quarterly reports to keep the U.S. Anti-Trust
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The airline industry is an example of an oligopoly
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by :
price setting firms
product differentiation
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve
the action taken by the other airlines is known as tacit collusion.
Tacit collusion is when other companies adopt the price of the price leader
Tacit collusion is not illegal while the explicit collision is illegal.
On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
Danny owns two companies where he has recently made changes. The margin of safety ratio for Company X is 42% and the margin of safety ratio for Company Y is 25%. What does this imply about the two companies?
Answer: Company X could lose more business before it will begin experiencing financial difficulties when it is being compared to company Y
Explanation:
Margin of safety ratio simply helps to understand the extent to which there'll be drop in sales before a company will begins to make a loss.
Since the margin of safety ratio for Company X is 42% and the margin of safety ratio for Company Y is 25%, it means that Company X could lose more business before it begins experiencing financial difficulties when it is compared to company Y.

ABC issued callable bonds on January 1, 2018. ABC's accountant has projected the following amortization schedule from issuance until maturity: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 1/1/2018 $194,758 6/30/2018 $7,000 $7,790 $790 195,548 12/31/2018 7,000 7,822 822 196,370 6/30/2019 7,000 7,855 855 197,225 12/31/2019 7,000 7,889 889 198,114 6/30/2020 7,000 7,925 925 199,039 12/31/2020 7,000 7,961 961 200,000 ABC buys back the bonds for $196,000 immediately after the interest payment on 12/31/2018 and retires them. What gain or loss, if any, would ABC record on this date (use a minus sign in front of the number if it is a loss)?
Answer:
Gain $370
Explanation:
Calculation for the gain or loss, if ABC record on this date 12/31/2018
Based on the information given on the amortization schedule, on this date 12/31/2018 the Carrying value was $196,370 while we were still told that ABC buys back the bonds for $196,000 on 12/31/2018
Now let calculate for the gain or loss using this formula
Gain/Loss = Carrying value- Stock bond
Let plug in the formula
Gain/Loss =$196,370-$196,000
Gain/Loss=$370
Therefore if ABC record on this date 12/31/2018, ABC will have a gain of $370
22. On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is eight years. The first payment of $675,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $3,600,000. The present value of the lease payments is $3,961,183. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer:
$293,980.13
Explanation:
Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease
First Step is to find the interest for year 2021
Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183
Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)
=$3,286,183
Hence,
2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%
2021 Interest = $328,618.3
Second Step
Second Payment $675,000
Less Interest (328,618.3)
Reduced balance $346,381.7
Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease
2021 $3,286,183
Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)

The balance sheet of Cattleman's Steakhouse shows assets of $86,000 and liabilities of $14,400. The fair value of the assets is $89,400 and the fair value of its liabilities is $14,400. Longhorn paid Cattleman's $82,920 to acquire all of its assets and liabilities. Longhorn should record goodwill on this purchase of:
Answer:
The goodwill is $7,320
Explanation:
It is given that fair value of assets is $89,400 and fair value of liabilities is $14,400
Fair value difference = Fair value of assets - Fair value of liabilities
Fair value difference = $89,400 - $14,400
Fair value difference = $75,000
Hence, the fair value difference is $75,000
It is given that acquisition price is $82,920 and calculated fair value difference is $75,600. Calculation of goodwill is given below
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Fair value difference
Goodwill = $82,920 - $75,600
Goodwill = $7,320
Hence, the goodwill is $7,320.
Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.
What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115
Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods
PV of interest =
115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89
Step 3:Price of the bond
Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36
Price of the bond = $4,122.36

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %

No change
Price drops by
Price drops by
Answer:
$81, $75, and $69
a. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $81 = $3888000
$21,303,000
Price after issue of new shares = 21,303,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,303,000 / 263,000
= $81
Conclusion: No changes ($0 per share
b. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $75 = $3600000
$21015000
Price after issue of new shares = 21015000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,015,000 / 263,000
= $79.90
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 79.90) = $1.10 per share
c. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $69 = $3312000
$20,727,000
Price after issue of new shares = 20,727,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 20,727,000 / 263,000
= $78.81
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 78.81) = $2.19 Per share

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section. d. Supplemental disclosures required for a company using the indirect method include the amount of interest and the amount of income taxes paid.
Answer:
Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:
c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.
Explanation:
Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.
Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise. The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash. While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
Potential GDP of an economy is $12 billion. Real (Actual) GDP is $20 Billion. Marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. What level of Government spending is required to achieve Full employment
Answer:
Government spending required = $2 billion
Explanation:
The required amount of GDP to achieve the full employment GDP =
Potential GDP - Actual
that is 20 - 12 = $8 billion.
But note that a government spending of less than $8 billion would be required to achieve an increase of 8 billion in real GDP. This is so because of expenditure multiplier effect.
The expenditure multiplier is the amount by which the aggregate output would increase with an increase in any of the expenditure components.
It is calculated as follows;
Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)
For this question ,
Expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.75) = 4
This implies that $1 change in any of the aggregate expenditure would lead a $4 worth of change in GDP.
Government spending required is determined as
Desired change in real GDP/expenditure multiplier
= $8 billion/4 = $2 billion
Government spending required = $2 billion
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True.
Explanation:
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.
Recently, the Google team announced its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of "autonomous driving." The Google driverless car is at which stage of the new-product development process?
Answer:
Product Development (stage five)
Explanation:
Sometimes companies make moves towards introducing new products in the market space. To do this there are different stages that must be passed in the new-product development process. The product development stage is the stage where a prototype version of the product is produced. This version of the product would have the required features of the end product and the effect the product is expected to produce. After this stage, the product undergoes market testing. For products that took in a lot of investment, more intense test marketing should be done in order to ascertain what would really translate to higher sales for the product.
When the Google team announced that its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of 'autonomous driving', it means that they had produced the prototype of the product and it has undergone testing. The next stage would entail testing the product in the market and then commercialization.
Charger Company's most recent balance sheet reports total assets of $28,413,000, total liabilities of $16,113,000 and total equity of $12,300,000. The debt to equity ratio for the period is (rounded to two decimals):
Answer:
Debt to equity ratio is 1.31
Explanation:
Given the above inflation, the formula for debt to equity ratio is
= Total debt / Total equity
= $16,113,000 / $12,300,000
= 1.31
Therefore, debt to equity ratio is 1.31
