Answer:
ABC Company
1. Observation: Current year's inventory turnover is significantly lower than those of previous years.
Explanations:
1. Lower inventory turnover implies weaker sales for the current period than those of previous years.
2. Lower inventory turnover results from excessive inventory, which increases storage costs and interest expenses.
3. The ratio may also indicate that the demand for the product is declining rapidly. Many reasons can be adduced for this situation. Little marketing efforts, bad product, and lack of product competitiveness.
a) The formula for computing the inventory turnover equals Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory. The ratio shows the number of times goods are sold in a period. When goods are sold more frequently, sales activities increase, including revenue and profit.
2. Observation: Also current year's accounts receivable turnover is significantly lower than in previous years.
Explanations:
1. Billing inefficiency can contribute to lower accounts receivable turnover.
2. Poor credit policy may give rise to inefficient collection process, excessive bad debts, long credit days, bad customers, and lack of incentives to customers to settle their invoices.
3. Lastly, lower accounts receivable turnover may point to declining demand of the product by customers.
b) The formula for calculating the accounts receivable turnover is Net Credit Sales divided by Average receivables. The ratio determines the effectiveness of the company's credit policy.

Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent for the next 9 years and then level off to a 5 percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
$143.40
Explanation:
The dividend for the next year = [tex]\text{ current year dividend} \times (1 + \text{growth})[/tex]
= $ 1.50 x (1 + 0.13)
= 1.50 x 1.30
= $ 1.95
The dividend in the second year = 1.95 x 1.30
= $ 2.54
Similarly, the dividend for the year 9 is = [tex]$1.50 \times (1.30)^9$[/tex]
= $ 15.91
The value of the stock at the end of year 9,
[tex]$=\frac{\text{Dividend of year 10}}{\text{(Required rate of return - Growth rate)}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{15.91\times1.05}{0.13-0.05}$[/tex]
= $ 208.81
The present value factor [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}$[/tex]
where, r = rate of interest = 13% = 0.13
n = years (1 to 9)
So, the present value factor for the 2nd year is [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{(1.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{1.2769}$[/tex]
= 0.783147
Therefore, the price of the stock today is calculated as to be $ 143.40

2. Interest expense for the July 1–December 31 period was $__5,850___.
3. Book value of Bonds on June 30 was $__89,998___.
4. Book value of Bonds on December 31 was $__90,848___.
5. Interest payment on June 30 was $__5,000___.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2017:
Face value of issued bonds = $100,000 ($1,000 * 100)
Coupon rate of interest = 10%
Effective rate of interest = 13%
Price of issued bonds = $89,200 ($892 * 100)
Discount on bonds = $10,800 ($100,000 - $89,200)
Interest payment = June 30 and December 31 (semiannually)
June 30:
Interest expense = $5,798 ($89,200 * 6.5%)
Cash payment = $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)
Amortization of discount = $798
Value of bonds = $89,998 ($89,200 + $798)
December 31, 2017:
Interest expense = $5,850 ($89,998 * 6.5%)
Cash payment = $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)
Amortization of discount = $850
Value of bonds = $90,848 ($89,998 + $850)

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
9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)
Answer:
$160
Explanation:
The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200
When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.
The reduction in take-home=$200-$40
The reduction in take-home=$160

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

Answer:
c. a period cost

If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.
Answer:
low
greater
increase
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000
The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"
Final shares is computed as follows:
= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)
= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)
= $50,000 * 1.014
= $50,700
As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.
If a company can implement cash management systems and save three days by reducing remittance time and one day by increasing disbursement time based on $2,000,000 in average daily remittances and $2,500,000 in average daily disbursements and its return on freed-up funds is 10%, what is the maximum that it should spend on the system
Answer: $850,000
Explanation:
The maximum amount that'll be spent on the system goes thus:
Additional collections will be:
= $2,000,000 × 3 days
= $6,000,000
Delayed disbursements will be,:
= $2,500,000 × 1 day
= $2,500,000
Then, the increment on funds will be:
= Additional collection + Delayed disbursement
= $6,000,000 + $2,500,000
= $8,500,000
Hence, maximum amount will be:
= 10% × $8,500,000
= $850,000

Lucy has been the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation since 1980. At the end of 2011, Lucy's stock basis is $23,500, and she receives a distribution of $25,000. Corporate level accounts are computed as follows.
AAA 7,000
PTI 11,000
Accumulated E&P 600
How much capital gain, if any, will Lucy have?
a. $600
b. $7,000
c. $6,400
d. $900
e. None of the above
Answer: d. $900
Explanation:
Capital gain = Total distribution - AAA as this isn't taxed - Accumulated E&P - PTI which isn't taxed either - Stock basis
Stock basis = Stock basis - AAA - PTI
= 23,500 - 7,000 - 11,000
= $5,500
Capital Gain = 25,000 - 7,000 - 600 - 11,000 - 5,500
= $900
