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.
Blue Sky Company’s 12/31/15 balance sheet reports assets of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $2,400,000. All of Blue Sky’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $360,000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/15, Horace Wimp Corporation paid $6,120,000 to acquire Blue Sky. What amount of goodwill should Horace Wimp record as a result of this purchase?
Answer:
$2,160,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount of excess consideration payment over net asset value of acquiring company. It is the net value of consideration payment and Fair value of net assets.
To calculate goodwill first we need to determine fair value of assets and Liabilities.
Total Fair value of Assets = $6,000,000 + $360,000 = $6,360,000
Liabilities = $2,400,000
Net Asset value = Assets - Liability = $6,360,000 - $2,400,000 = $3,960,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Net Asset Value = $6,120,000 - $3,960,000 = $2,160,000
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
oel purchased 100 shares of stock for $31 per share. During the year, he received dividend checks amounting to $202. Joel recently sold the stock for $58 per share. Joel is in a 35% tax bracket. He would pay $945 in taxes if he held the stock for less than a year. How much would Joel save in taxes if he held the stock for more than a year, assuming he sold it for the same amount?
Answer:
Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year
Explanation:
If the stock is held for more than one year and then sold then the gain on sale would be long term capital gain
The long term capital gain would be charged at preferential rate of 15%
Calculate long term capital gain tax on sale
Long term capital gain (Sale price - Purchase price)*No of shares
Long term capital gain (58-31)*100
Long term capital gain $2700
Tax on long term capital gain 2700*15%
Tax on long term capital gain $405
Savings in tax 945 - 405
Savings in tax $540
Thus, Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year

Perteet Corporation's relevant range of activity is 6,300 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 9,400 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 7.20 Direct labor $ 3.65 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 2.90 Fixed selling expense $ 0.65 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.35 Sales commissions $ 0.45 Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 If 6,800 units are produced, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is closest to:
Answer:
For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be $ 3120
Explanation:
Particulars Average Cost per Unit
Direct materials $ 7.20
Direct labor $ 3.65
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 2.90
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 15.45
The Manufacturing Overheads = Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead = $ 1.70 + $ 2.90 = $ 4.6 per unit
For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be 4.6 * 6,800=$ 3120
We calculate the manufacturing overheads for 6800 by multiplying it with the
manufacturing overheads per unit.
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.

Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,240,000 for its investment in 30,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 100,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets.
At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,260,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,950,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction. The following information pertains to Orioles during 2021:
Net Income $ 500,000 Dividends declared and paid $ 300,000 Market price of common stock on 12/31/2021 $ 80 /shareWhat amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.?
Answer:
Amount reported in the year-end 2021 is $2,270,375
Explanation:
[tex]\text{The percentage of investment in Orioles} = \frac{30000 \ shares }{100000 \ shares} = 30 \ percent.[/tex]
The difference between fair value and the book value attributable to depreciable assets = $10,000,000 -$7,260,000 -$1,950,000
=$790,000
Attributable to depreciation assets:
[tex]= \frac{790000}{8 \ years} \times 30 percent \\[/tex]
[tex]= 29625 dollars.[/tex]
Balance sheet for its investment in Orioles:
Particulars Amount
Cash paid to Orioles = $2,240,000
Add: net income (500,000 *30%) = $150,000
Less: Dividends(300,000 *30%) = ($90,000)
Less: Attributable to depreciation. = ($29,625)
Amount reported in the year-end 2021. = $2,270,375
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. How many people are unemployed
Answer: 3 million.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as when a member of a Country's labor force is jobless but actively looking for work.
In the Scenario 28-1, the discouraged people are not counted as they are discouraged and not looking for work and 1 million other people being students and retirees amongst others are not looking for work either.
The unemployed section of Mankiwland is therefore the 3 million unemployed people.

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
Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock
Answer:
b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.
Explanation:
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $250 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $80,000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 30,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $400 and for each queen bed is $200. 1). (10’) Please set up the LP model for the above situation.2). (20’) How many king beds (K) and how many queen bed (Q) should be purchased at optimal? 3). (10’) Whether we have slack or surplus variable applicable in this question? If we do, what is the value of slack (or/and surplus) variable? What is the meaning behind it?4). (10’) If the furniture company purchases no king beds and 300 queen beds, which resources will be completely used (at capacity)?
Answer:
1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000
100K+80Q≤ 30,000
K≥0
Q≥0
P= 400K + 200Q
2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds
or zero queen beds and 160 king beds
3) surplus variable
surplus variable is storage space
values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds
value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.
surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.
4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both
Explanation:
1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ; Q ≥ 0
Explicit variables:
500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint
100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint
LP: P= 400K + 200Q
2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph
3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.
Also,
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives
500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000
if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives
500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000
if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives
100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600
surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives
100(160) +250(0)= 16000
surplus= 30000-16000= 14000
4) K=0 and Q=300
investment inequality gives
500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000
75,000≤ 80,000
space inequality gives
100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000
24,000≤ 30,000
Both space and investment are in surplus
