Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this is not required but to explain the concept)
Interest expense = $20,000
Which of the following do you NOT include when calculating the closing balance of PP&E?
a) Cash capital expenditures
b) PP&E acquired through acquisitions
c) PP&E acquired under capital or financing leases
d) Changes in working capital
Answer:
d) Changes in working capital
Explanation:
the formula used for calculating net PP&E is:
Net PP&E = gross PP&E + capital expenditures - accumulated depreciation
PP&E represents fixed assets (plant, property, and equipment).
On the other hand, working capital involves current assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventories, taxes payable, etc.
Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $105, direct labor of $35, and variable overhead of $50. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $645,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $111,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 10,500 snowboards in the next year.
Required:
What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost?
Answer:
Selling price = $301.3
Explanation:
The selling price would be determined by adding the total unit cost to the mark- up.
Mark up is the proportion of cost that is to be earned as profit.
Selling price = Total unit cost + Profit
Profit = 25% × unit cost
Selling price = Unit cost + Mark-up
Selling price = Unit cost + (15%× unit cost)
Total unit cost =Variable cost + unit fixed cost
Total fixed cost = 645,000 + 111,000 = 756,000
Unit fixed cost = $756,000 /10,500 =×72
Total unit cost = 105 + 35 + 50 + 72 = 262
Selling price = 262 + ( 15% + 262) = 301.3
Selling price = $301.3
Yellowstone Corporation has just announced the repurchase of $125,000 of its stock. The company has 39,000 shares outstanding and earnings per share of $3.29. The company stock is currently selling for $76.09 per share. What is the price–earnings ratio after the repurchase?
Answer:
The price–earnings ratio after the repurchase is 22.18
Explanation:
First calculate Numbers of new shares
New Shares = Old Shares - ( Repurchased Shares / Price per share )
New Shares = 39,000 - ( $125,000 / $76.09 )
New Shares = 39,000 - 1,642.79
New Shares = 37,357.21 shares
New compute the old earning
Old Earning = EPS x Numbers of old shares = $3.29 x 39,000 = $128,310
New compute revised Earning per share
Revised EPS = Earning / New shares = $128,310 / 37,357.21 shares = $3.43
Now we need to calculate the Price earning ratio
P/E Ratio = Price per share / Revised earning per share = $76.09 / $3.43 = 22.18 times

d. Report $10,000 revenue and expense | Report $12,000 revenue and expense
Answer:
c. Report $10,000 revenue and expense | Disclose in the notes
Explanation:
Not-for-profit entities must report the fair value of all the goods they receive as donations. in this case, they would have to report the $10,000 worth of food received from a local supermarket. But they are not required to report the value of volunteer work, they only have to disclose it on the footnotes of their financial statements.
In the liquidation of a partnership, any gain or loss on the realization of non-cash assets should be allocated:_____.
a. first to creditors and the remainder to partners.
b. to the partners on the basis of their capital balances.
c. only after all creditors have been paid.
d. to the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.
Answer:
D. To the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.
Explanation:
Partnership liquidation can be easily seen to come into existence indefinitely through periodic changes within the ownership, they are seen to occur by circumstances which are totally uncommon occurrence.
The form of the dissolution is irrelevant, whether by absenting by personal decision of individual member or wholesale departure and formal liquidation. The end result will be the same. The primary dream of these harmonious and synchronical growth of the firm will be seen to come to an end.
This is why it is best shared to the partners on the basis of their income sharing ratio.

Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $1,200,000 with a $300,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $180,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $7,500 per year.
Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Answer:
Average rate of return = 11%
Explanation:
Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Residual value) / Useful years
Depreciation = (1,200,000-300,000) / 10
Depreciation = 90,000
Increase in net annual income = 180,000 - 90,000 - 7,500
Increase in net annual income = 82,500
Average investment = (1,200,000 + 300,000) / 2 = 750,000
Average rate of return = Increase in net annual income / Average investment
Average rate of return = 82,500/750,000
Average rate of return = 0.11
Average rate of return = 11%
A trader maintains a position in a small capitalization stock that has low trading volume. The trader has a high level of which of the following risks?
A) MarketB) LiquidityC) BusinessD) Inflation
Answer:
B) Liquidity

Suppose that on August 14, 2019, an antique woven rug handmade in Canada is priced at CAD 1,100. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the rug would be
Answer:
USD 825.95Explanation:
Step one:
To tackle this problem we need data from historical chart.
From historical chart, on August 14, 2019, 1 USD is equivalent to CAD 1.3318
Step two:
From the historical data we need to perform conversion on the data to get the USD equivalent of the CAD given in the problem
Hence
if 1 USD = CAD 1.3318 then
x USD = CAD 1,100
by cross multiplying we have
x USD= 1,100/ 1.3318
x USD= 825.95
Hence as at August 14, 2019 CAD 1,100 is USD 825.95

You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.

(net) 650,000 765,000 Liabilities 255,000 255,000 Lake would record goodwill of
Answer:
Lake would record goodwill of $365,000
Explanation:
Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment
Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000
Fair value of net assets = $890,000
Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed
Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000
Fair market value = $635,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value
= $1,000,000 - $635,000
= $365,000
Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.
People had been expecting the price level to be 140 but it turns out to be 138. Johnson Family Restaurants increases the number of workers it employs. What could explain this
Answer:
neither sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory
Explanation:
People had been expecting the price level to be 140 but it turns out to be 138. Johnson Family Restaurants increases the number of workers it employs. Sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory could explain this.
What makes wages and prices sticky?Sticky wages are a result of a number of factors, including the minimum wage, employee contracts, labor unions, the efficiency wage theory, and the expense of hiring and terminating employees. It is challenging to exit a recession when wages and prices are stuck, creating a vicious cycle.
A theoretical market condition known as "stickiness" occurs when a certain nominal price resists change. Stickiness, also known as price stickiness, is a term that is frequently used to describe market prices even though it frequently refers to wages.
Many economists think that prices are "sticky" and that they change gradually. According to them, this stickiness indicates that changes in the money supply have an effect on the real economy, causing changes in investment, employment, output, and consumption. Policymakers can take advantage of this effect.

A cloth manufacturing firm is deciding whether or not to invest in new machinery. The machinery costs $45,000 and is expected to increase cash flows in the first year by $25,000 and in the second year by $30,000. The firm’s current fixed costs are $9,000 and current marginal cost are $15. The firm currently charges $18 per unit.
Required:
If the interest rate is 5% then. what is the present value of the cash flows?
Answer:
$51,020.40
Explanation:
We use the formula PV = FV * (1 + r)^n for finding the present value
There are two cash flows, one that occur in year 1 at $25,000 and second that occur in year 2 at $30,000.
Find the PV of this cash flow at r = 5% and n = 1 and 2 =
25000(1+5%)^-1 + 30000(1 + 5%)^-2
25,000(1+0.05)^-1 + 30,000(1 + 0.05)^-2
25,000(1.05^)-1 + 30,000(1.05)^-2
25,000(0.952381) + 30,000(0.907029)
23,809.525 + 27,210.87
=$51,020.40
Thus, the present value of the cash flows is $51,020.40
You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent interest on your investments, which is the better deal?
Answer:
The deal to receive $30000 is better.
Explanation:
To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.
The given time period (n )= 2
Interest rate (r ) = 8%
The amount received after 2 years = $30000
[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]
Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.

A customer wishes to purchase $100,000 face amount of municipal bonds that the broker-dealer does not have in inventory. Under MSRB rules, the firm should:
Answer:
contact enough dealers so that a reasonable market quote is obtained . when a municipal dealer acts in an agency capacity, the price charged must be representative of the market for that type of security. There is no requirement to obtain a pre-set number of quotes (as a contrast, FINRA requires that a minimum of 3 quotes be obtained for non-NASDAQ OTC issues, meaning OTCBB or Pink Sheet issues), nor is there a requirement to direct the customer to a dealer that physically has those bonds. The dealer would not sell short the bonds to the customer, since short covering is very difficult in the thinly traded municipal market.
Excellent Manufacturers Inc. has a current production level of 20,000 units per month. Unit costs at this level are: Direct materials $0.26 Direct labor 0.40 Variable overhead 0.16 Fixed overhead 0.21 Marketing − fixed 0.25 Marketing/distribution − variable 0.42 Current monthly sales are 18,000 units. Jax Company has contacted Excellent about purchasing 1,550 units at $2.00 each. Current sales would NOT be affected by the one−time−only special order, and variable marketing/distribution costs would NOT be incurred on the special order. What is Ratzlaff Company's change in operating profits if the special order is accepted?
Answer:
The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.
Explanation:
The rise or fall in the operating income:
= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829
Therefore the profit will increase by $1829
Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.
If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?
Answer:
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Explanation:
Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005

Explanation:
One of these occurs when costs are not paid for, as in pollution, the other is when there is an imbalance of knowledge between buyer and seller. Pollution can be a consequence that cannot be solved with money and can also be socially irresponsible for a company. On the other hand, an imbalance of knowledge can prevent a company from profit maximization if the seller does not understand the product or services that the buyer is selling.
