Assume that you are a retail customer. Use the information below to answer the following question. Bid Ask Borrowing Lending S0($/€) $1.42 = €1.00 $1.45 = €1.00 i$ 4.25% APR 4% APR F360($/€) $1.48 = €1.00 $1.50 = €1.00 i€ 3.10% APR 3% APR If you borrowed $1,000,000 for one year, how much money would you owe at maturity? A. $1,450,352 B. $1,042,500 C. € 1,024,500 D. $1,525,400
Answer:
$1,042,500.
Explanation:
From the question above, we are given the following parameters; under the bid, we have $1.42 = €1.00 and $1.48 = €1.00; the borrowing and lending are $ 4.25% and 4% APR respectively for S0($/€).
Also, for F360($/€), the bid and ask values are: $1.48 = €1.00 and $1.50 = €1.00 respectively; the borrowing and lending values are 3.10% APR and 3% APR.
Therefore, the Borrowing rate is ($) 4.25% in $ . Thus, $1,000,000 for one year, one we owe
$1,000,000 × (1 + 0.0425) = $1,042,500 at maturity.
The management of Unter Corporation, an architectural design firm, is considering an investment with the following cash flows: Year Investment Cash Inflow 1 $ 59,000 $ 5,000 2 $ 9,000 $ 10,000 3 $ 20,000 4 $ 21,000 5 $ 24,000 6 $ 22,000 7 $ 20,000 8 $ 18,000 9 $ 17,000 10 $ 17,000 Required: 1. Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large
Answer:
4.5 years
No
Explanation:
The Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amounts invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Total investments = $-59,000 - $9,000 = $-68,000
In the first year: $-68,000 + $5,000 = $-63,000 is recovered
In the 2nd year: $-63,000 + $ 10,000 = $-53,000 is recovered
In the 3rd year: $-53,000 + $ 20,000 = $-33,000 is recovered
In the 4th year $-33,000 + 21,000 = $-12,000
In the 5th year $-12000 + $24,000 = $12,000
The amount invested is recovered between the 4th and 5th year
4 years + $-12000 / $24,000 = 4.5years
The Payback period would not be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large because the cash flow would have been recovered by the 5tj year.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
Explanation:
Year Investment Cash Inflow Accumulate Cash Inflow
1 $59,000 $5,000 $5000

Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate
Answer:
$21.42
Explanation:
The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-
Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours
= $87,822 ÷ 4,100
= $21.42
Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.
And all the other information i.e given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Beerbo purchased a patent from Mitter Lite Co. for $1,000,000 on January 1, 2018. At that time, the patent's useful life was 10 years, expiring on December 31, 2027. In early 2020, Beerbo determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 4 more years (6 years from the date of acquisition). Given the revised useful life, Beerbo expects the useful life of the patent to expire on December 31, [a1]. (Input year; e.g. "2020") At the end of 2019 / beginning of 2020, what was the value / net book value of the patent in Beerbo's books
Answer:
$800,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Beerbo expects patent's useful life to expire on Dec-31 2023.
At the beginning of 2020 / end of 2019, the value of the patent in Beerbo's book = $1,000,000 - ($1,000,000 ÷ 10×2))
= $800,000
Amortix patent year = 4
Patent amortization expense at the end of 2020 = $800,000 ÷ 4
=$200,000
Sheffield Corp. issued $7080000 of 11%, ten-year convertible bonds on July 1, 2020 at 96.1 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020 with interest payable April 1 and October 1. Bond discount is amortized semiannually on a straight-line basis. On April 1, 2021, $1416000 of these bonds were converted into 600 shares of $20 par value common stock. Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion. If "interest payable" were credited when the bonds were issued, what should be the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020
Answer:
The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Bond face value=$7,080,000
interest rate=11%
There are 3 months interest recognized from july to september, therefore, to calculate the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 we would have to make the following calculation:
amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$7,080,000*11%*3 months / 12 months
amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$194,700
The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

Answer:
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
Explanation:
In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:
Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)
Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)
Overhead allocated=$4,080
Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Consider a portfolio manager with a $20,500,000 equity portfolio under management. The manager wishes to hedge against a decline in share values using stock index futures. Currently a stock index future is priced at 1250 and has a multiplier of 250. The portfolio beta is 1.25. Calculate the number of contracts required to hedge the risk exposure and indicate whether the manager should be short or long.
Answer:
Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.
Calculate the overall profit.
$1,550,000
Explanation:
Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.
Calculate the overall profit.
The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.
Number of contracts required to hedge
= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts
Profit on the equity portfolio
= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000
Profit on the stock index future
= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000
Overall profit
= $2,050,000 - $500,000
= $1,550,000
therefore, the overall profit is $1,550,000
Vital Industries manufactured 1,200 units of its product Huge in the month of April. It incurred a total cost of $120,000 during the month. Out of this $120,000, $45,000 was the cost of direct materials used in the product and the rest was incurred because of the conversion cost involved in the process. Ryan had no opening or closing inventory. What will be the total cost per unit of the product, assuming conversion costs contained $10,000 of indirect labor
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
In the question, we are given the following:
Total cost = $120,000
Units produced = 1,200 units
Therefore, we have:
Total cost per unit = $120,000 / 1,200 = $100
Windsor Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,420,000. It received a down payment of $510,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $1,910,000 to complete the project. It therefore decided to issue $1,910,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2019, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 9%.
Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2019.
Answer:
Dr Cash $2,032,577.26
Cr premium on bonds payable $122,577.26
Cr bonds payable $1,910,000
Explanation:
First and foremost the proceeds received from the bond issuance needs to determine the pv formula in excel as follows:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity of 9%
nper is the number of annual coupons payable by the bond which is 10
pmt is the amount of annual coupon i.e $1,910,000*10%=$191000
fv is the face value of the bond which is $1,910,000
=-pv(9%,10,191000,1910000)=$2,032,577.26
premium on bonds issuance= 2,032,577.26-1,910,000.00= $122,577.26

Use of the marginal cost of capital
a. None of these options are correct.
b. recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
c. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth and recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.

Mills Corporation's balance sheet included the following information: Accounts Receivable $ 580,000 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 73,000 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance $ 507,000 If the Allowance account had a credit balance of $31,500 immediately before the year-end adjustment for bad debts and no accounts were written-off or allowed for during the year, what was the amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year
Answer:
The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.
If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.

Computation of the discount on notes payable:
Maturity value $560,000
Present value of $560,000 due in 8 years at 11% = $560,000 * 0.43393 = $ 243,000
Present value of $39,200 payable annually for 8 years at 11% annually—$39,200 * 5.14612 = $ 201,728
Present value of the note = $ 243,000 + $ 201,728 = $ 444,728
Discount = $ 560,000 - $ 444,728 = $ 115,272

c. stock splits encourage long-term investing, which is detrimental to his firm's investment policy.
d. lower share price indicates poor growth prospects..
Answer:. b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.
Explanation:
Warren Buffet has stated that he does not want to split Berkshire Hathaway's stock because he believes that it would attract short term investors whereas he is looking for long term investors. He believes that a stock being split makes it susceptible to investors who just want to buy it for the meantime, wait for it to appreciate a bit and then sell. He however prefers Companies with a long term potential so he prefers people investing for the long run.
Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $520,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $150,000 + $85,000
= $235,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)
= $85,000
Now the payback period is
= $520,000 ÷ $235,000
= 2.21 years
2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $380,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $60,000 + $45,000
= $105,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $45,000
Now the payback period is
= $380,000 ÷ $105,000
= 3.62 years
The Baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet: Total Assets $255,213 Total Liabilities $151,328 Retained Earnings $47,588 Suppose next year the Baldwin Company generates $44,200 in net profit, pays $12,000 in dividends, total assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged. What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year? Select: 1 $79,097 $509,129 $381,753 $143,497
Answer:
$79,097
Explanation:
The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.
Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.
Hence in current year,
Total equity = $255,213 - $151,328
= $103,885
If retained earnings is $47,588 then common stock
= $103,885 - $47,588
= $56,297
Change to equity next year
= $55,000
Change to retained earnings
= $44,200 - $12,000
= $32,200
Hence change in common stock
= $55,000 - $32,200
= $22,800
Common stock balance
= $56,297 + $22,800
= $79,097
Fixed expenses are $384,000 per month. The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $9 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $46,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
A reduction of $12,500 in net operating income
Explanation:
The net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.
The change in the company's net operating income is the net of the increased commission and the total decrease in salaries. The commission is a variable cost that is dependent on the total number of units sold.
Hence the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
= $46,000 - ($9 * 6500)
= ($12,500)
Financial Crisis
Suppose that banks are less able to raise funds and so lend less. Consequently, because people and households are less able to borrow, they spend less at any given price level than they would otherwise. The crisis is persistent so lending should remain depressed for some time. Refer to Financial Crisis. In the long run, if the Fed does not respond, the change in price expectations created by the crisis shifts:
a. short-run aggregate supply right.
b. aggregate demand right.
c. aggregate demand left.
d. short-run aggregate supply left.
Answer:
The correct answer to the given question is “D – Short-Run Aggregate Supply Left”
Explanation:
While the problem is there for offering and deriving, less asset is being completed on the budget. Thus due to the lack of capital. The investment standard growing will decrease and therefore as an outcome, short run cumulative source curve will move to the left.

Cash disbursements (87)
Ending balance 44
Amount to be borrowed 26
Desired ending balance 70
Explanation:
The cash budget a forecast of the expected movement in cash balance. This is as a result of expected cash receipts and disbursements and may be expressed mathematically as
opening cash balance + cash receipts - Cash disbursed = closing cash balance
27 + 104 - 87 = ending balance
Ending balance = 44
Desired ending balance = 70
Amount to be borrowed = 70 - 44
= 26
Axelia Corporation has two divisions, Refining and Extraction. The company's primary product is Luboil Oil. Each division's costs are provided below: Extraction: Variable costs per barrel of oil $ 12 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $ 4 Refining: Variable costs per barrel of oil $ 27 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $ 30 The Refining Division has been operating at a capacity of 40 comma 200 barrels a day and usually purchases 26 comma 000 barrels of oil from the Extraction Division and 15 comma 900 barrels from other suppliers at $ 57 per barrel. What is the transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 120% of full costs? A. $ 82.80 B. $ 19.20 C. $ 46.00 D. $ 16.00
Answer:
Transfer price = $19.2
Explanation:
The transfer price is the price at which goods are exchanged between the divisions of the same group.
The transfer price is stated to be 120% of the full cost
Full cost of extraction = Variable cost + fixed cost
= $ 12 + $ 4 = $16 per barrel
Transfer price = 120%× $16 = $19.2
