Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52

Swifty Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109600. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4100 and a useful life of 123000 miles. It was driven 18000 miles in 2020 and 26000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2020?
a. $37752
b. $22308
c. $16639
d. $15444
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $15,444
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $109,600
Salvage value= $4,100
Useful life= 123,000
Miles driven 2020= 18,000
To calculate the depreciation expense, we will use the units-of-production method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles drive
Annual depreciation= [(109,600 - 4,100)/123,000]*18,000
Annual depreciation= 0.858*18,000
Annual depreciation= $15,444
The Cavendish Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $8 million that has an accounting rate of return of 25%. The project will generate an annual net cash flow of $1.75 million and annual net operating income of $2 million. What is the project's payback period?
Answer:
4 years and 2 months
Explanation:
The project's payback period is the length of time that the future cash flows take to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial Investment = $8 million
Annual cash flows = $1.75 million
It will take 4 years and 2 months ($1 million /$8 million x 12) for annual cashflows to equal the Initial Investment of $8 million.
MC Qu. 113 Kayak Company uses a job order costing... Kayak Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Kayak Company's production costs for the year were: direct labor, $35,000; direct materials, $55,000; and factory overhead applied $6,500. The overhead application rate was:
Answer:
$0.19 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
It is important to keep in mind the following :
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
also,
Applied Overheads = Overhead application rate x Actual Activity
Using the formula :
Applied Overheads = Overhead application rate x Actual Activity
hence,
Overhead application rate = Applied Overheads ÷ Actual Activity
therefore,
Overhead application rate = $6,500 ÷ $35,000
= $0.185 or $0.19 per direct labor hour

Stuart Software has 5.7 percent coupon bonds on the market with 11 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 93 percent of par. What is the current yield on the bonds
Answer:
current yield = 6.13%
Explanation:
Given:
The software has 5.7 percent coupon bonds
maturity=11 years
current sell=93 percent of par
The objective is to find the current yield on the bonds
Formula used:
Current yield = [tex]\frac{Annual Coupon payment}{current selling price}*100[/tex]
Solution:
Current selling price=93% of 1000=930
Annual coupon payment= 5.7% of 1000=57
Then,
On substituting the values in the formula,
Current yield = [tex]\frac{57}{930}[/tex]*100
On Simplifying,
Current yield =6.13%
Therefore,
Current yield =6.13%
Which of the following statements is most correct concerning a project with normal cash flows (i.e., a cash outflow in Year 0 followed by cash inflows in all subsequent years)?
a) If the NPV of a project is positive then the payback period rule will always accept the project.
b) If the NPV of a project is negative, then the profitability index of the project will always be greater than one.
c) If the profitability index of a project is greater than one, then the IRR will always be less than the project’s cost of capital.
d) If the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
e) If the discount rate of a project is zero, then the project will always be accepted.
Answer: D. If the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
Explanation:
Net present value (NPV) refers to the difference that exist between the present value of the cash inflows and that of the cash outflows for a particular period of time.
The net present value is used in capital budgeting to determine if a projected investment or project will be profitable or not. For a project with normal cash flows, if the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $34.00, and the item purchased second cost $35.00. Blake sold one of the items for $64.00. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used.
B. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
C. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used.
D. Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses FIFO than if weighted average were used.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
Weighted average is the average cost of the inventories bought over a period
If FIFO is used, ending inventory would be $35.
If weighted average is used , ending inventory = (34 +35) / 2 = $34.50
Thus, ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Gross margin = gross profit / revenue
If FIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 34) / 64 = 0.469
If LIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 35) / 64 = 0.453
Gross margin will be lower if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.

Many business leaders today give up having a private office, and instead work at a desk or cubicle in the middle of the work area to be among other employees. What effect do you think this work area placement has on their power
Answer:
Napoleon once ordered his men on a near suicidal charge against the Austrians and they did exactly what he told them to because they were so inspired by him. This inspiration came from the fact that even though he was their commander, he was on the front lines with them and personally overseeing the artillery bombardment of the enemy.
This is the kind of effect that the business leader staying in the middle of the work area can have. The leader would be amongst their subordinates and by working hard, could inspire them to work hard themselves. This would increase the respect that the employees have of the leader and by extension, the leader's power over them.
Should the leader turn out to be lazy however, an opposite situation could result where the leader's power is diminished as their laziness would be on full display for the workers. who would then lose respect for the leader.

2. This cost remains constant over a limited range of volume; when it reaches the end of its limited range, it changes by a lump sum and remains at that level until it exceeds another limited range.
3. This cost has a component that remains the same over all volume levels and another component that increases in direct proportion to increases in volume.
4. This cost increases when volume increases, but the increase is not constant for each unit produced.
5. This cost remains constant over all volume levels within the productive capacity for the planning period.
6. This cost increases in direct proportion to increases in volume; its amount is constant for each unit produced.
Answer:
1. This cost is the combined amount of all the other costs. ⇒ TOTAL COST.
2. This cost remains constant over a limited range of volume; when it reaches the end of its limited range, it changes by a lump sum and remains at that level until it exceeds another limited range. ⇒ STEP-WISE COST.
3. This cost has a component that remains the same over all volume levels and another component that increases in direct proportion to increases in volume. ⇒ MIXED COST
4. This cost increases when volume increases, but the increase is not constant for each unit produced. ⇒ CURVELINEAR COST.
5. This cost remains constant over all volume levels within the productive capacity for the planning period.⇒ FIXED COST.
6. This cost increases in direct proportion to increases in volume; its amount is constant for each unit produced. ⇒ VARIABLE COST.
The expenditure and income approaches to calculating GDP arrive at the same final number, but they calculate that number in different ways. To illustrate, consider the possible effects of the following transactions on GDP:
1. Daesun pays Awesome Foods Market $1,100 to cater his daughter's engagement party. He's attracted by Awesome Foods Market's guarantee that he'll be happy with the catering, or he'll get his money back.
2. Awesome Foods Market pays JoAnn's Catering $950 to cater the party.
3. JoAnn's Catering buys plasticware worth $200 from Kostko.
Required:
Compute contributions to GDP, using the expenditure approach.
Answer:
Only the amount spent by Manuel would be in included in the calculation of GDP
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Suppose that the inflation rate is 2% and the real terminal value of an investment is expected to be $82,500 in 4 years. Calculate the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4.
Answer: $89300.65
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4 will be calculated thus:
Inflation rate = 2%
Real terminal value of investment = $82,500
Normal terminal value of investment will be:
= $82500 × (1+2%)⁴
= $82500 × (1 +0.02)⁴
= $82500 × 1.02⁴
= $89300.65
Which of the following would not occur as a result of a monopolistically competitive firm suffering a short-run economic loss?
A) The firm could exit the industry in the long run.
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
C) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the right.
D) If the firm remains in the industry in the long run it will break even.
choose "A"
choose "B"
choose "C"
choose "D"
Answer:
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
Explanation:
This is because the statement "If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left, " simply means that if the monopolistic competitive firm stays in a particular industry for long, the firm will experience a situation in which less of the good or service is demanded at every price.
However, this cannot be true because a monopolistic competitive firm produces unique products that tend to have its specific customers. These customers, in the long run, will demand more goods and services of the firms which will be affected positively by a lot of reasons including prices of related goods, increase in salary, better economy at large, etc.

MC Qu. 111 A company has an overhead application... A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $23,000
Answer:
$28,520
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $23,000
Using this formula
Overhead=Total Labor Cost x Overhead Application Rate
Let plug in the formula
Overhead=$23,000 x 1.24
Overhead= $28,520
Therefore How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $23,000 will be $28,520
The Gear Division makes a part with the following characteristics:
Production capacity 25,000 units
Selling price to outside customers $ 18
Variable cost per unit $ 11
Fixed cost, total $ 100,000
Motor Division of the same company would like to purchase 10,000 units each period from the Gear Division. The Motor Division now purchases the part from an outside supplier at a price of $17 each. Suppose that the Gear Division is operating at capacity and can sell all of its output to outside customers. If the Gear Division sells the parts to Motor Division at $17 per unit, the company as a whole will be:
a. better off by $10,000 each period.
b. worse off by $20,000 each period.
c. worse off by $10,000 each period.
d. There will be no change in the status of the company as a whole.
Answer:
Effect on income= -10,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production capacity 25,000 units
Selling price to outside customers $ 18
Variable cost per unit $ 11
Fixed cost, total $ 100,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary total production cost:
Total unitary cost= (100,000/25,000) + 11
Total unitary cost= $15
The company can sell all of its production to outside customers and gain $3 from the sale. But, by selling to the Motor Division, it gains $2.
Now, the effect on income:
Effect on income= increase in income by not buying the part - decrease in sales revenue for not selling to outside customers
Effect on income= 10,000*2 - 10,000*3
Effect on income= 20,000 - 30,000
Effect on income= -10,000

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: a. indirect labor b. manufacturing overhead c. a period cost d. a conversion cost e. a product cost
Answer:
c. a period cost
Explanation:
Option C, period cos is the correct answer because the period cost is not related to the production and manufacturing of the commodity. Rather it is the cost incurred outside the factory such as marketing expenses, travelling expenses, etc. Therefore, the option "period cost" is the correct answer.
Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: c. a period cost
Period costs are indirect costs incurred in the production of goods and services. These costs are not tied directly to production processes.
Unlike product costs that are assigned to one particular product, Period costs are not assigned to one particular product or the cost of inventory.
Period costs are also not included in the inventory valuation hence are treated as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Other examples of Period costs includes: marketing expenses, indirect labor etc.
