Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100
1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:
Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)
Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 21.2%
2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:
Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000
Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100
= 22.22%
3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:
Sales $4,500,000
Variable costs 3,600,000
Contribution $900,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $600,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 24%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales $4,000,000
Variable costs 3,200,000
Contribution $800,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $500,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%
Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%
The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division. This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.
Calculate the real deficit or surplus in the following cases: a. Inflation is 17 percent. Debt is $7 trillion. Nominal deficit is $820 billion.
Answer:
$370 Billion Surplus
Explanation:
We can find the real deficit by using the following formula:
Real Surplus / (Deficit) = Nominal Deficit – (Inflation * Total Debt)
Here,
Nominal Deficit is $820 Billions
Inflation is 17%
And
Total Debt is $7 Trillion
By putting values, we have:
Real Deficit = $820 Billions - (17% * $7,000 Billions)
= $370 Billion Surplus
An S corporation earns per share before taxes. The corporate tax rate is 35%, the personal tax rate on dividends is 20%, and the personal tax rate on non-dividend income is 39%. What is the total amount of taxes paid if the company pays a dividend?
Answer:
$2.73
Explanation:
Question is incomplete. But assuming the company earn per shares before tax is $7 and the company pays a dividend of $2
Hence, the total amount of taxes paid is = Company earn per shares * personal tax rate on non-dividend income
= $7 * 39%
= $7 * 0.39
=$2.73
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.
Elaine takes out a $100,000 mortgage on December 1, 1997. Elaine will repay the mortgage over 20 years with level monthly payments at an effective annual interest rate of 8%. The first payment is due January 1, 1998. After making her 120th payment, Elaine does not make any new payments for the entire next year. Elaine starts making revised monthly payments, of amount P, beginning January 1, 2009. The amount P is such that Elaine will pay off the loan in the original, 20-year term—that is to say, her last payment will be due December 1, 2017. Determine P.
Answer:
I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. The original monthly payment was $836.44. After the 120th payment, the remaining principal balance was $68,940.64. Since she didn't pay anything for 1 year, the new principal balance will be $68,940.64 x (1 + 8%) = $74,455.89
I prepared another amortization schedule for the remaining 9 years, and the monthly payment is $969.32. She will pay off the loan in 108 months.

The monetary value of a homemaker's time CANNOT be estimated by
A. comparing the value of the services to the spouse's wage rate.
B. measuring the marginal value of the services by the homemaker's wage rate received in a part-time job.
C. measuring the services in terms of current market prices.
D. measuring the value of the services by looking at the homemaker's opportunity costs.
Answer: measuring the services in terms of current market prices
Explanation:
Based on the information that has been provided in the question, it should be noted that the monetary value of a homemaker's time can be estimated by
comparing the value of the services to the spouse's wage rate, measuring the marginal value of the services by the homemaker's wage rate received in a part-time job and also measuring the value of the services by looking at the homemaker's opportunity costs.
Therefore, the option that measuring the services in terms of current market prices is not estimated.
A company purchases its inventory from suppliers on account. During the year, its inventory account increased by $17 million and its accounts payable to suppliers decreased by $5 million. If cost of goods sold was $520 million, its cash outflows to inventory suppliers totaled:
Answer: $542 million
Explanation:
The following can be gotten from the question:
The increase in inventory = $17 million
The decrease in the accounts payable = $5 million
The cost of goods sold = $520 million
Inventory Purchased = $520 million + $17 million = $537 million.
The cash outflows to inventory suppliers will be the inventory bought plus the decrease in the accounts payable. This will be:
= $537 million + $5 million
= $542 million
The following information is available for the first month of operations of Diacox Inc., a manufacturer of sports apparel:
Sales $2,050,000
Gross profit 490,000
Indirect labor 152,000
Indirect materials 45,000
Other factory overhead 515,000
Materials purchased 801,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 1,710,000
Materials inventory, end of period 36,800
Using the given information, determine the following:__________.
Cost of goods sold
Direct materials cost
Direct labor cost
Answer:
Cost of goods sold= $1,560,000
Direct material cost= $764,200
Direct labor= $233,800
Explanation:
(A) Cost of goods sold= Sales -gross profit
Sales= $2,050,000
Gross profit= $490,000
Therefore, the cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows
= $2,050,000-$490,000
= $1,560,000
(B) Direct materials cost= Materials purchased-materials inventory ending
Material purchased= $801,000
Material inventory ending= $36,800
Therefore, the direct material cost can be calculated as follows
= $801,000-$36,800
= $764,200
(C) Direct labor= Total manufacturing cost-direct material cost-manufacturing overhead
Total manufacturing cost= $1,710,000
Direct material cost= $764,200
Manufacturing overhead= indirect labor+indirect material+other factory overhead
$152,000+$45,000+$515,000
= $712,000
Therefore, the direct labor can be calculated as follows
= $1,710,000-$764,200-$712,000
= $233,800
Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.50. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 8% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
The current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula that assumes growth is dividend will be constant as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price = ?
D1 = Next dividend = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1 + 2%) = $1.53
r = required return = 8%, or 0.08
g = growth rate = 2%, or 0.02
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $1.53 / (0.08 - 0.02) = $25.50
Therefore, the current price of Hubbard's common stock is $25.50.
In 2019, Dan transferred 5-year property to Fleck Corp. in a tax-deferred Section 351 transaction. Fleck took Dan's adjusted basis in the property. Dan originally placed the depreciable property in service in 2017. What year of the depreciation schedule will Fleck use to depreciate the property
Answer:
The property will be depreciated using the remaining 3 years of its life after the tax-free incorporation transfer year. This is because Dan had already depreciated the property for 2 years before the transfer.
Explanation:
Sec. 351 allows a tax-free incorporation transfer if certain requirements are met, including that the property must be transferred to Fleck Corporation by Dan in exchange for stock in Fleck Corporation, and, immediately after the exchange, the Fleck Corporation is in control.

Radoski Corporation's bonds make an annual coupon interest payment of 7.35% every year. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, a current price of $1,470, and mature in 12 years. What is the yield to maturity on these bonds
Answer:
The answer is 2.71 percent
Explanation:
The interest payment is annually.
N(Number of periods) = 12 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $1,470
PMT( coupon payment) = $73.5 ( [7.35 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 12; PV = -1470 ; PMT = 73.5; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 2.71
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 2.71 percent

BankMart Inc. recently issued bonds that mature in 9 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 3%. The current market interest rate is 8%.What should be the bond's price?
Answer:
Price of Bond = $687.66
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Bank Mart Inc can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 3%× 1000 = 30
PV of interest payment
PV = A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)
A- 30, r- 8%, n- 9
30× ((1-1.08^(-9))/0.08)=187.41
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - 1000, r- 8%, n- 9
PV of RV = 1000 × 1.08^(-9) = 500.24
Step 3
Price of bond
Total PV = 187.41 + 500.24 = $687.66
Price of Bond = $687.66

The GoT cups are a fast seller and you need to ensure that you have enough rolls of paper to fulfill demand. The first stage in the process is to determine the total cost of the current inventory ordering model. Given the following information, how many rolls should they order to minimize costs?H: $1.75 per unitD: 500 rolls per monthQ: 100 units ordered at a timeS: $25 per order
Answer:
EOQ = 414 rolls
Explanation:
In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.
DATA
Holding cost = $1.75/unit
Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls
Ordering cost = $25
Formula
EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = ordering cost
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost
Solution
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = 414 rolls
They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.
Answer:
119 units
Explanation:
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]
EOQ is 119 units.
Data related to the inventories of Costco Medical Supply are presented below: Surgical Equipment Surgical Supplies Rehab Equipment Rehab Supplies Selling price $ 276 $ 134 $ 354 $ 152 Cost 156 136 255 152 Costs to sell 17 17 16 7 In applying the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, the inventory of surgical supplies would be valued at:
Answer:
$117
Explanation:
Costco Medical Supply's merchandise inventory:
Surgical equip. Surgical supplies Rehab equip. Rehab supplies
Selling price $276 $134 $354 $152
Cost $156 $136 $255 $152
Cost to sell $17 $17 $16 $7
Net realizable V. $259 $117 $338 $145
If we apply the lower of cost or net realizable rule for determining the value of surgical supplies, its value would be: $117 < $136
When we use the lower of cost or net realizable rule, we should value our inventory at the lowest value between original purchase cost and current net realizable value of the products.
Seacrest Company has 15,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $50 par and 50,000 shares of $5 par common stock. The following amounts were distributed as dividends:
Year 1 $30,000
Year 2 12,000
Year 3 45,000
Required:
Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year.
Answer:
Cumulative Preferred Stock must always pay out Dividends and when they cannot, the amount unpaid will be accrued for payment to another year when it can be paid.
When Dividends are declared, Preference Shareholders are paid first and then common shareholders follow.
Year 1
Preference Shares = Number of shares * Par value * %
= 15,000 * 50 * 2%
= $15,000
Common Shareholders will get the rest;
= 30,000 - 15,000
= $15,000
Year 2.
Preference Shareholders are still due $15,000 however only $12,000 is available. They will take all of it and be owed $3,000.
Preference Shares, Year 2 = $12,000
Common Shareholders get nothing.
Year 3.
Preference Shareholders are owed $15,000 for the year. They are also owed $3,000 from the previous year.
Preference Shares = 15,000 + 3,000
= $18,000
Common Shareholders will get the remainder;
= 45,000 - 18,000
= $27,000
changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $81000. What is 2021 depreciation expense?
Answer: $162,000
Explanation:
The depreciation expense for the first 3 years up till 2021 is;
= (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= ( 579,000 - 57,000) / 9
= $58,000
In 2021, the Net book value was;
= 579,000 - ( 58,000 * 3)
= 579,000 - 174,000
= $405,000
Useful life has been changed to 5 years. 3 years have already elapsed left with 2.
New salvage value is $81,000.
= (NBV - Salvage Value) / Useful life
= (405,000 - 81,000) / 2
= $162,000

A firm has net working capital of $2,715, net fixed assets of $22,407, sales of $31,350, and current liabilities of $3,908. How many dollars' worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets
Answer:
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Explanation:
To calculate how many dollars worth of sales are generated by $1 of total assets, we use the total assets turnover ratio. It is an accounting measure that measures the efficiency of the company's assets in generating sales. It calculates the dollar values of sales generated by each $1 of total assets. The formula for total assets turnover is,
Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Average Total Assets
We already know the level of sales. We need to determine the value of total assets first.
Total Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets
As we know that net working capital = current assets - current liabilities,
So, the current assets are,
2715 = Current assets - 3908
2715 + 3908 = Current assets
Current assets = $6623
Total assets = 6623 + 22407
Total assets = $29030
Total Assets Turnover = 31350 / 29030
Total assets turnover = 1.0799 rounded off to 1.08
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Eccles Inc. Eccles Inc., a zero growth firm, has an expected EBIT of $100,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Eccles uses $500,000 of 12.0% debt, and the cost of equity to an unlevered firm in the same risk class is 16.0%. Refer to the data for Eccles Inc. What is the firm's cost of equity according to MM with corporate taxes? a. 25.9% b. 32.0% c. 28.8% d. 21.0% e. 23.3%
Answer:
b) 32%
Explanation:
Formula for calculating cost of equity is given as ;
r levered = r levered + ( debt / equity × ( r unlevered - cost of debt) × ( 1 - tax)
r unlevered is the cost of an unlevered equity = 16.0%
Debt = $500,000
Cost of debt = 12%
Equity = unknown
Firstly, we need to calculate the value of the firm and the formula is denoted by;
EBIT ( 1 - tax ) / Unlevered cost of equity + ( debt × tax )
= $100,000 ( 1 - 30% ) / 16% + ( $500,000 × 30% )
= $100,000 ( 0.7 ) /0.16 + $30,000
= $437,500 + $150,000
= $587,500
r levered = 16% + ( $500,000 / ( $587,500 - $500,000 ) × ( 16% - 12% ) × ( 1 - 30%)
= 0.16 + ( $500,000 / 87,500 ) × 0.04 × ( 0.7 )
= 0.16 + 5.71 × 0.04 × 0.7
= 32%
