Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a.What is the pre-tax cost of debt?This question is basically asking for the bond’s current yield to maturity, which is the pre-tax cost of long term debt in the capital markets for this company today.Price = 1.08 * 1000 = 1080+/- PV23 * 2 = 46 N.10 * 1000 = 100 / 2 = 50 PMT1000 FVSolve for i/y = 4.5801 is the semi-annual yield to maturity * 2 = 9.1601% annual YTM

b.What is the after-tax cost of debt?9.1601 * (1 - .35) = 5.9541 after tax cost of debt.This is the true cost of debt to the company because the company gets a tax deduction (a tax shield!) for paying interest on its debt.

Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places

Answers

Answer:

42,51%

Explanation:

Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment

Calculation of Average Profits

Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years

                        = (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10

                        = $2,510,000 / 8

                        = $313,750

Calculation of Average Investment

Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2

                                  = $1,476,000/2

                                  = $738,000

Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100

                                                      = 42,51%

As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods   required       31410  Units)

Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds

Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds

Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds

Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds

Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6*  31410  Units=  $ 188460

Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36*  31410  Units= $ 1130780

Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7*  31410  Units=

                                                                                             $ 219870

Total Manufacturing Costs  $ 1,1539,110

There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.

Answers

Answer:

47.0 days

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of company's days' sales in inventory is provided below:-

Company's days sales uncollected for year 2 = Total number of days in a year × Accounts receivables ÷ Net sales

= 365 × $92,500 ÷ $718,000

= 365 × 0.1289

= 47.0 days

So, we have calculated the Company's days sales uncollected for year 2 by putting the values into the formula.

Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $68,000 and $3,450, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $6,300 of Uncollectible Accounts. Using the percent of receivables method, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400. What amount will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

Answers

Answer:

$8,250

Explanation:

Relevant data provided for compute the Uncollectible Accounts Expense is here below:-

Amount written off = $6,300

Closing balance = $5,400

Opening balance = $3,450

The computation of Uncollectible Accounts Expense is shown below:-

Uncollectible Accounts Expense = Amount written off + Closing balance - Opening balance

= $6,300 + $5,400 - $3,450

= $11,700 - $3,450

= $8,250

Therefore for computing the Uncollectible Accounts Expense we simply applied the above formula.

Which statement is false? Marginal cost and marginal productivity are inversely related. Marginal cost is the change in a firm's total cost due to a one unit change in output. Costs that are small and unimportant with little impact on profits are called marginal costs. A marginal cost curve will always intersect the average total cost curve at the minimum average total cost. Consider the table. Output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total cost 100 110 115 125 140 160 190 230 280 340 420 What is the marginal cost of the fifth unit based on the table? $0 −$20 $20 $160

Answers

Answer:

Option (c) Marginal cost of fifth unit = $20

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

1)

Option (b) : Marginal cost is the change in the total cost of firm due to one unit change in output.

We can calculate the marginal cost by using following formula :

Marginal cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity

2)

Marginal cost of fifth unit = Total cost at unit 5 - total cost at unit 4

= $160 - $140

= $20

If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then a. a single firm cannot serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost. b. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. c. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient. d. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C) If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Explanation:

Natural monopoly occurs when there is a hig cost of entry into a particular market niche. The high cost is usually caused by expensive equipment and infrastructural set up for manufacturing as well as maintenance costs.

Therefore, If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.

Distribution of water falls into the category of natural monopoly. Due to the prevailing circumstances, Fixed cost is larger comparable to variable cost such that it is cheaper for a single firm to serve the market.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.

Answers

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

With respect to cost classifications for preparing financial statements: a. What is the total product cost

Answers

Answer:

Product cost= $153,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 72,000

Direct labor $ 36,500

Variable manufacturing overhead $16,200

Fixed manufacturing overhead 28,900

Total manufacturing overhead $ 45,100

The product cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and total manufacturing overhead.

Product cost= 72,000 + 36,500 + 45,100

Product cost= $153,600

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.

Answers

Answer:

Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000

Explanation:

Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.

Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.

In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.

Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000

Actual overheads incurred = $84,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.

Answers

Answer:

Blackstone Corporation

1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:

Cost of Land =              $600,000

Broker's Commission =  $36,000

Legal Fees  =                    $6,000

Title Insurance =              $18,000

Razing of old building =  $75,000

Total  =                          $735,000

2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:

Payment to contractor for building =  $3,000,000

Plans, specifications, and blueprints =      $12,000

Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000

Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000

Total =                                                    $3,191,000

Explanation:

a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed.  All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized.  The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.

b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date.  The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.

June 1 Issued 72,000 shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of assets from a subsidiary. Required: Compute Norstar's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Answers

Answer:

1.272 per share

Explanation:

The computation of earnings per share is shown below:-

Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding = outstanding common shares ÷ Net income

= 900,000 ÷ $707,810

= 1.272 per share

Where,

Net Income = Preferred Dividends ÷ Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding

= $655,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05) + ( 60,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months) × 1.05 + (72,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months)

= $623,810 + 40,000 × 1.05 + 42,000

= $623,810 + 42,000 + 42,000

= 707,810

Why do more than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns?

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

1. Underfinancing: One main reason that cause budget overrun and less than expected benefits is underfinancing. Allocation of an adequate amount of budget to project at the beginning will lead to a budget overrun or failure.

2. Unfeasible Cost Estimates: Estimation of cost is a vital process in a project and another common reason for budget overrun. When the cost is calculated by inexperienced or unqualified personnel, the project is going to face budget overruns.

3. Underestimating the Project Complexity: Big projects are usually at the risk of overrunning its budget as a result of bigger complications that may arise during its execution.

4. Lack of Resource Planning: When one fails to plan the resources that are available effectively, then this would lead to a budget overrun and less benefits. A common mistakes that cause overrun is failure to estimate the resources which would be utilized during the project.

The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual total direct labor cost was $82,960. The direct labor efficiency variance for January is:

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard direct labor-hours 1.4 hours per unit

Standard direct labor rate $ 12.00 per hour

Actual production was 5,500 units.

The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output.

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 5,500*1.4= 7,700

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,700 - 6,800)*12

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable

Answers

Answer:

($26,280)

This represents net cash used up by investing activities

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow and vice versa.

Hence net cash provided by investing activities

= $4380 - $30660

= ($26,280)

Other activities are operating and financing activities.

LaserLife Printer Company is a decentralized organization with several autonomous divisions. The division managers are evaluated, in part, on the basis of the change in their return on invested assets. Operating results for the Packer Division for 2019 are budgeted as follows:
Sale $5,000,000
Less variable costs 2,500,000
Contribution margin 2,500,000
Less fixed expenses 1,800,000
Net operating income $ 700,000
Invested capital for the division are currently $3,600,000. For 2019, the division can add a new product line for an investment of $600,000. The new product line will generate sales of $1,600,000 and will incur fixed expenses of $600,000 annually. Variable costs of the new product will average 60% of the selling price.
REQUIRED:
1. What is current ROI? Profit margin (or Return on sales)? Investment (or Capital) turnover?
2. What is the effect on ROI of accepting the new product line?
If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, would this encourage the division to accept the new product line? Explain and show computations.

Answers

Answer:

1. The current ROI is 19.44%. The Profit margin (or Return on sales) is 14%. TheInvestment (or Capital) turnover is 1.39 times.

2. The effect on ROI of accepting the new product line is 17.62%.  ROI will be decreased by 1.82%

If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers the residual income amount would be of $4,000 and so Managers should accept the new product line

Explanation:

1. To calculate the profit margin we have to use the following formula:

Profit margin= Net operating income/Sale

Hence, Profit margin = $700,000/$5,000,000 = 14%

ROI= Net operating income/Invested capital

Hence, ROI = $700,000/$3,600,000 = 19.44%

Investment (or Capital) turnover=Sale/Invested capital

Hence, Investment (or Capital) turnover = $5,000,000/$3,600,000 = 1.39 times

2. The Net operating income= ($5,000,000+$1,600,000)-($2,500,000+1,600,000*60%)-$(1,800,000+$600,000) = $740,000

Hence, ROI = $740,000/$4,200,000 = 17.62%

ROI will be decreased by (19.44-17.62) 1.82%.

In order to know if the division would accept the new product line If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, we would have to calculate the residual income as follows:

Residual income = operating income - invesed capital*required rate of return

= ($740,000-$700,000)-$600,000*6%

= $4,000

Therefore, Managers should accept the new product line.

Alden Trucking Company is replacing part of their fleet of trucks by purchasing them under a note agreement with Kenworthy on January 1, 2009.

1. How much will Alden record as a debit to their equipment account and as acredit to their notes payable account on January 1, 2009?
2. How much ofthe first $10 million payment on December 31, 2009 isinterest?
3. What is theremaining obligation on January 1, 2010 after the first payment hasbeen made?

Answers

Answer:

1. $37,907,868

2. $3,790,787

3. $31,698,654

Explanation:

The cost of the  trucks according to IAS 16, is the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition.

Thus=, we need to find the Fair Value or Present Value of the Note as Follows:

Pmt = $10,000,000

P/yr = 1

i = 10%

N = 5

Pv = ?

Pv = 37,907,868

Therefore Alden will record $37,907,868 as a debit to their equipment account and as a credit to their notes payable

Interest on First Payment =  $37,907,868×10%

                                          = $3,790,787

Remaining Obligation = $37,907,868 - $6,209,213 (Capital Portion) - $3,790,787 (Interest Portion)

                                     = $31,698,654
