Explanation:

Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock             833,000

Net Income               $130,000

April 30, 2017 bal.    $538,000

c) Since Clemenson accounts for the Treasury Stock transactions using the cost method, it means that all treasury transactions are recorded directly in the Treasury Stock account based on their cost and not the par value.  This method of using the cost is one of the two methods for accounting for treasury stock transactions.  The other method, which Clemenson can use is the par value method.  Under this second method, Clemenson will record the above and below par value differences in the Paid-in Capital in excess of par account instead of the Treasury Stock account.  While the treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account, in Clemenson's case, the Treasury Stock balance is not a debit but a credit balance.

Determine the future value if $5,000 is invested in each of the following situations: 7 percent for seven years $8,130 $8,031 $8,030 $7,030

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $8,030

Explanation:

Present Value (PV) = $5,000

Future Value(FV) = ?

Interest rate(r) = 7 percent

Number of years (N) = 7 years

The formula for future value is:

FV = PV(1+ r)^n

= $5,000(1+0.07)^7

$5,000(1.07)^7

$5,000 x 1.605781476

=$8,028.91

Approximately $8,030

Alternatively, we can use a Financial calculator:

N= 7; I/Y= 7, PV= -5,000 CPT FV= $8,028.91

Approximately $8,030

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement_____________ monetary policy with a focus.

a. Short-term
b. Long-term
c. Contractionary
d. Expansionary

Answers

Answer: Expansionary; Short-term

Explanation:

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement an expansionary monetary policy with a short-term focus.

Expansionary monetary policy has the effect of putting more money into the economy. As there is now more money in the economy, the expectation is that there will be more consumption spending as well as investment. More consumption because people have more money and more investment because interest rates reduce when there is an increased money supply. As there is now more investment as well as the need to satiate the increased demand, more companies can expand and employ people thereby reducing unemployment.

This should however be done with a short term view because expansionary monetary policy will lead to higher inflation in the longer term making business operations less profitable.

Answer:

Indication of whether each of the following statements is true or false:

a. A company has the following assets at the end of the year: cash on hand $40,000, cash refund due from customer $30,000, and checking account balance $22,000. Cash and cash equivalents is therefore $62,000.

True

b. A company that has received NSF checks should report these checks as a current liability on the balance sheet.

False

c. Restricted cash that is a current asset is reported as part of cash and cash equivalents.

False

d. A company has cash in the bank of $50,000, petty cash of $400, and stock investments of $100,000. Total cash and cash equivalents is therefore $50,400.

True

Explanation:

a. Cash and cash equivalents do not include refund due from customers.

b. NSF checks mean that the checks were returned by the bank to the company marked "Not Sufficient Funds."  These checks are to be returned to the customers.  The customers' accounts will be debited to reverse the earlier recorded payment offsetting their accounts.  They are, therefore, not to be recorded as liabilities.

c. Since restricted cash is not available for general and immediate use by the company, it is not part of the cash and cash equivalents.  The cash and cash equivalents deal with cash and near cash items that can easily be converted into cash and used in settlement of financial obligations.

d. This is while only marketable securities (bonds, shares, etc) are included in cash and cash equivalents, because most of them have a duration of less than 3 months.  Stock investments, without any qualification, do not qualify to be classified as cash and cash equivalents, unless they are held as marketable securities.

Answers

Answer:  d. Tell them it will prevent work from slipping through the cracks

Explanation:

Work Breakdown Structures work to make a large and by extension all projects more manageable by dividing it into different portions that will then be managed individually to ensure that they are accomplished.

With different portions, various team members can be assigned to them which will lead to greater work efficiency as work is done simultaneously on a project.

Due to this division of the project and the micro-management that comes with it, tasks can be better monitored meaning that there will be less chances of work slipping through the cracks because all tasks will be assigned to different portions of the project and can therefore be traced easily and their completion will form part of the completion of a portion.

Answer: A. $26.25

Explanation:

Using the Gordon Growth model, the value of the stock can be determined using the available variables.

The formula is;

Value of a Stock = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth Rate)

Value of a Stock  = Current Dividend (1 + Growth Rate) / (Required Return - Growth Rate)

= 2 ( 1 + 0.05) / ( 0.13 - 0.05)

= (2 * 1.05) / 0.08

Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 15% and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 20%.  If you put 70% of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and 30% in Fremont, what is the expected return of your portfolio?

Answer:

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The expected return of a portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  +  wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolio

Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.15  +  0.7 * 0.2

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

Answers

Answer:

Malibu Beachwear

Indication of the effect (+ for increase, − for decrease, +/− for increase/decrease) of each of these transactions on total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity:

a. Purchased $350,100 of common stock now held in treasury.

Assets (-$350,100) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (-$350,100)

b. Declared cash dividends in the amount of $260,050.

Assets = Liabilities (+$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity (-$260,050)

c. Paid the dividends in (b).

Assets (-$260,050) = Liabilities (-$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity

d. Issued 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value common shares for $2 per share.

Assets (+$202,000) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (+$202,000)

e. Closed the Dividends account.

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity

Explanation:

a. The purchase of common stock held in treasury implies that Malibu Beachwear bought its own shares from investors and paid cash.  The recording of the transaction involves a reduction in Cash (Assets) and Shareholders' Equity with the creation of Treasury Stock Account.  The treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account and the balance is deducted from the Shareholders' Equity in the balance sheet.

b. By declaring cash dividends, Malibu Beachwear is returning to its stockholders part of the assets that belong to them.  This transaction reduces the Shareholders' Equity (Retained Earnings) and increases the liabilities with Dividends Payable in the sum of $260,050 respectively.

c.  The payment of the cash dividend by Malibu reduces the Assets (Cash) and the Liabilities (Dividends Payable) in the sum of $260,050.

d. The issue of 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value for $2 per share by Malibu Beachwear increases its Assets (Cash) with the sum of $202,000 (101,000 x $2) and the Shareholders' Equity (Common Stock with $10,100 and Additional Paid-in Capital- Common Stock with $191,900).

e.  Closing the dividends account does not affect the accounting equation.  Instead, it affects the Income Summary (Statement of Retained Earnings) to which the account is closed.

f. The accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity is an important feature of the double-entry system of bookkeeping and financial accounting.  The equation implies that every transaction affects the two sides of the equation since two or more accounts are involved.  Where it does not affect the two sides, it implies that one side is affected twice or more.  This equation keeps the assets and liabilities + equity sides in balance at all times.  It also implies that Malibu Beachwear for every transaction, will have the assets equal the liabilities or equity.

Answer: $15,060

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.

We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:

= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12

= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75

= $15,000

The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B

rancis Inc.'s stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%, and it sells for $87.50 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% per year. What is the expected year-end dividend, D1

Answers

Answer:

$3.72

Explanation:

Francis incorporation stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%

The stock is sold at $87.50 per share

The growth rate is 6% per year

Therefore, the expected dividend can be calculated as follows

= Po(rs-g)

= $87.50(10.25%-6%)

= $87.50×4.25

= $3.72

Hence the expected year end dividend is $3.72

Peter Parker is evaluating two different methods for manufacturing spiderwebs. The first option is manufacturing them in his home lab. This will entail purchasing an industrial-grade chemical reactor that costs $450,000. He will have to hire a lab assistant who will initially receive a salary of $60,000 a year, but that salary must be adjusted for inflation every year at an inflation rate of 2.5%. After ten years, the chemical reactor can be sold for $30,000. This lab setup can produce 10,000 cubic meters of spiderwebs per year.

The second option is outsourcing all the manufacturing process to a biotech company recently set up by Bruce Banner. In this case, the price of the spiderwebs will be $14 per cubic meter over the next ten years.

Since Peter Parker is a broke student, all of this project is being financed by a superhero fund set up by his late friend and mentor Tony Stark. This fund returns 11% annually. Since this is not a commercial endeavor, there are no taxes nor depreciation to consider. Given these data, calculate the unit price of manufacturing spiderwebs in the lab and decide which of the two options makes the most economic sense. Justify your answers with calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Option B makes the most economic sense.

Explanation:

Option A:

The total Initial investment amount - $450,000 + $60,000 = $510,000 total Initial investment cost excluding the adjustment for inflation every year of the staff.

Per unit manufacturing cost= $510,000 ÷ 10, 000 (cubic meters of spiderwebs per year) = $51 (implying the selling price per unit will be higher than this).

Option B:

Initial total investment cost = $0 (he only outsourced)

Per unit manufacturing cost= less than $14 (because the price of the spiderwebs will be $14 per cubic meter over the next ten years).

By outsourcing following option B, Peter would avoid the massive initial investment cost of buying the industrial-grade chemical reactor that costs $450,000. Also, since this is not a commercial endeavor he needs to be wary of the lower cost per unit of the spiderwebs he stands to gain with option B.

The question is incomplete. The complete version is given below:

IBM just paid a dividend of $3.5 and expects these dividends to grow at 7% a year. The price of IBM is $100 per share. What is? IBM's cost of equity? capital?

Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.7%

Explanation:

Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The dividend valuation model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.  The required rate of return is the cost of equity.

The cost is the minimum rate of return that ordinary shareholders are willing to accept considering the opportunity cost of their capital

Answers

Answer:

Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)

Explanation:

Note: The missing part of the question is "Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:"

i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400

Current assets = $345,000

Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300

Current liabilities = $109,500

Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500

Current ratio = 3.15

ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities

Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000  + 17,400 ) / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 0.80

Blaster, Inc., manufactures portable radios. Each radio requires 3 units of Part XBEZ52, which has a standard cost of $1.75 per unit. During May, the company purchased 24,120 units of the part for a total of $43,416. Also during May, the company manufactured 6,240 radios, using 20,620 units of part XBEZ52. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. During May, the materials price variance for part XBEZ52 was:

Answers

Answer:

$1,206 unfavorable

Explanation:

materials price variance = (AP – SP) x AQ

SP = $1.75

AQ = 24,120 units (units purchased)

AP = $43,416 / 24,120 = $1.80

materials price variance = ($1.80 - $1.75) x 24,120 = $1,206 unfavorable

Since the price paid for each part is higher than the standard price, the variance is unfavorable.

= $172,550

Why do we need to deduct gain on sale of plant assets from net income to arrive at net cash flow from operating activities

Answers

Answer:

The money received from the sale of assets is included in the net cash flows from investing activities, that is why you must adjust net income by eliminating any gain or loss resulting from these transactions.  

Explanation:

E.g. net income = $50,000, and it includes a gain of $5,000 resulting from the sale of a truck. The truck had a book value of $15,000, but was sold at $20,000.

Net cash flows from operating activities:

Net income $50,000

Adjustments to net income:

- Gain on sale of asset ($5,000)

Net cash flow provided by operating activities $45,000

Net cash flows from investing activities:

Sale of truck $20,000

Net cash flow provided by investing activities $20,000
