The Jenkins Corporation has purchased an executive jet. The company has agreed to pay $200,000 per year for the next 10 years and an additional $1,000,000 at the end of the 10th year. The seller of the jet is charging 6% annual interest. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the liability that would be recorded by Jenkins.'
Answer:
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that would be recorded as a liability, we need to find the present value of the jet. The present value can be calculated by discounting the cash flows provided in the question. The 200000 cash flows that will be payable every year are in the form of an ordinary annuity and their present value will be calculated using the attached formula. The present value of 1000000 that is payable at the end of the 10th year will be calculated as follows,
Present Value of Cash flow = Cash Flow / (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the discount rate t is the time periodPresent value of liability = 200000 * [(1 - (1+0.06)^-10) / 0.06] +
1000000 / (1+0.06)^10
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
According to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory, job applicants Question 27 options: do not typically pay much heed to organizational values when applying for work. with a variety of personal characteristics are preferred by organizations, resulting in a more heterogeneous organization. avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values. avoid other applicants if they are competing for the same jobs.
Answer:
avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
The attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory was developed and introduced by Benjamin Schneider. This theory typically gives the reason why a business firm or organization looks and feels the way it does with respect to the employees and employers.
According to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory, job applicants avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values. Also, it states that job applicants are usually attracted to colleagues having similar assumptions and values.
When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.
Answer:
company-wide
Explanation:
Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects. This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate. It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services. The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.
Novak Corp. has 6000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 12000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $55800 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above data,
Preferred shares = 6,000 shares × $100 = $600,000
Dividend on preference shares = $600,000 × 5% = $30,000 per year
Dividend declared in 2019
= $55,800
Preferred dividend in 2019 = $30,000 × 2 = $60,000
Dividend declared in 2020 =$55,800
Preferred dividend declared in 2020 = $30,000 + $4,200 = $34,200
Dividend paid to common stock holders = $55,800 - $34,200 = $21,600
Think about an organizational change that recently affected you. This could be a change at work in which jobs or procedures were changed, or it could be a change at school, such as a change in curriculum requirements or major revisions in registration procedures. How effectively did the organization manage the change? What could the organization have done differently to reduce resistance to the change? Your post should reflect the terms and concepts in Chapter 15.
Explanation:
One good example is the recent change in the way we learn at school (remote learning). For many students, it was the first time they had to receive instructions from a teacher via videoconferencing.
Many organizations tried to adjust to this new normal, however, most organizations were confused about what training to provide, how long to should they plan for, etc.
Reports say that many teachers found it difficult to adapt to this method of teaching, hence, some were resistant to this change. However, if proper enlightenment were carried out, as well as employing some motivational factors, such resistance to change would have been minimal.

Explanation:
A firm has current assets that could be sold for their book value of $22 million. The book value of its fixed assets is $60 million, but they could be sold for $90 million today. The firm has total debt with a book value of $40 million, but interest rate declines have caused the market value of the debt to increase to $50 million. What is this firm's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
the firm market to book ratio is 1.48
Explanation:
The computation of the market to book ratio is shown below:
The Market values is
= $22 million + $90 million - $50 million
= $ 62 million
And, the Book values is
= $22 million + $60 million - $40 million
= $42 million
Now the firm market to book ratio is
= $62 million ÷ $42 million
= 1.48
Hence, the firm market to book ratio is 1.48

Q4) The price of a luxury car increased from 42.000 euros to 44.000 euros. Then the demand for
this car declined from 100 units to 20 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the car.
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Old price of car = 42.000 euros
New price of car = 44.000 euros
Quantity of car old = 100 units
Quantity of car new = 20 units
Find:
Price elasticity of car
Computation:
Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity)/(Percentage change in price)
Price elasticity of demand = [{(Q2-Q1)100}/{(Q1+Q2)/2}] / [{(P2-P1)100}/{(P1+P2)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{(20-100)100}/{(20+100)/2}] / [{(44000-42000)100}/{(44000+42000)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{-8000}/{60}] / [{200000}/{(43000}]
Price elasticity of demand = 133.33 / 4.65
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)
You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
Benny is 57 years old and is employed by the state as a school bus driver.He has an exemplary record,with no accidents in the past 27 years.Tom,aged 31,replaces Benny.Benny intends to file a discrimination claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.If Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity,which of the following statements is most likely to be true?

Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 45% of cost in 2021, 30% in 2022, and 25% in 2023. Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $460,000, which includes interest revenue of $68,000 from municipal governmental bonds. The enacted tax rate is 25%.
Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above:
Required:
1. Complete the following table given below and prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2021.
2. What is Southern Atlantic’s 2021 net income?
Answer:
1. Depreciation as per books = Cost of purchase/Useful life
Depreciation as per books = $40,000/4
Depreciation as per books = $10,000
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = Cost of purchase * Deduction rate
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $40,000 * 45%

Andy derives utility from two goods, potato chips (Qp) and Cola (Qc). Andy receives zero utility unless he consumes some of at least one good. The marginal utility that he receives from the two goods is given as follows:
Qp MUp Qc MUc
1 12 1 24
2 10 2 22
3 8 3 20
4 6 4 18
5 4 5 16
6 2 6 14
7 -2 7 12
8 4 8 10
Refer to Scenario, what is the total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc)?
Answer:
TU = 40
Explanation:
Total utility is the sum of marginal utility obtained by consuming different units of the good. So at 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and 0 units of Cola drink (Qc) , we can find total utility by adding marginal utility till 5th unit of Qp.
[tex]Total utility = 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 \\ = 40[/tex]
Thus, total utility from 5 units of potato chips and no cola is 40 utils.
The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.
The calculation is as follows:= 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4
= 40 utils
Therefore we can conclude that The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

Policy is designed to shift the aggregate B) curve by the federal government changing its C) and D) policies. An E) fiscal policy would attempt to speed up the economy by shifting this curve to the F) . This would be accomplished by the government spending G) than it took received in taxes. Such a policy would result in a budgetary H) . Such a policy would be employed to get the economy out of a I) and fight the undesirable economic phenomenon of J).
Answer:
There are no options included so I will give the answers as beat I can based on economic knowledge.
FISCAL policy is designed to shift the aggregate DEMAND curve by the federal government changing its SPENDING and TAXATION policies.
The government can influence the economy through fiscal policy. It does this by changing its taxation and spending policies to either increase economic growth or reduce overheating.
An EXPANSIONARY fiscal policy would attempt to speed up the economy by shifting this curve to the RIGHT. This would be accomplished by the government spending MORE than it took received in taxes. Such a policy would result in a budgetary DEFICIT .
With an expansionary policy, the government would increase it's spending such that it would be more than the taxation imposed. With the government spending more than they brought it from taxes, a budget deficit will result.
Such a policy would be employed to get the economy out of a RECESSION and fight the undesirable economic phenomenon of UNEMPLOYMENT.
When the economy is going through a recession, the economy will be facing a decline so in order to renew growth, the government would spend more to bring it out of a decline and therefore prevent or reduce unemployment.
Locomotive Corporation is planning to repurchase part of its common stock by issuing corporate debt. As a result, the firm’s debt–equity ratio is expected to rise from 30 percent to 50 percent. The firm currently has $3.3 million worth of debt outstanding. The cost of this debt is 9 percent per year. Locomotive expects to have an EBIT of $1.32 million per year in perpetuity. Locomotive pays no taxes.
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
Equity value = Debt value / Debt to equity ratio
= 3,300,000/0.3
= 11,000,000
Market value = Debt value + Equity value
= $3,300,000 + $11,000,000
= $14,300,000
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
To solve this, we need to know the interest payment first which will be:
= $3,300,000 × 9%
= $3,300,000 × 0.09
= $297000
Return on equity will now be:
= (EBIT - interest) / Equity
= (1320000 - 297000) / 11000000
= 9.30%
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
This will be:
= Earnings before Interest / Unlevered firm value
= 1320000 / 14300000
= 9.23%
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
This will be:
= 9.23% + 50% × (9.23% - 9%)
= 9.35%
Ahnberg Corporation had 660,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at January 1. No common shares were issued during the year, but on January 1, Ahnberg issued 280,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 560,000 shares of common stock. During the year Ahnberg paid $168,000 cash dividends on the preferred stock. Net income was $1,950,000.
What were Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Basic Earnings per share=$2.70
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1.50
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock .
It represents profit per unit of stock unit held by common stock holder investor. The higher, the more profitable and the better.
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders / units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Net Income for the year $1,950,000
Preference Dividend $168,000
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for 2021= 1,950,000-168,000=1,782,000
Basic Earnings per share=$1,782,000/660,000shares=$2.70
Basic Earnings per share=$2.70
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders/ Total number of shares assuming conversion
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1,782,000/(660,000+560,000) units
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1.50

Recently, some college alumni started a moving service for students living on campus. They have 3 employees and are debating hiring one more. The hourly wage for an employee is $30 per hour. An average moving job takes 4 hours. The company currently does 3 moving jobs per week, but with one more employee, the company could manage 5 jobs per week. The company charges $100 for a moving job.
Instructions:
Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
b. The value of that merginal product is ______.
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker.
Answer: a. 2
b. $200
c. Should not
Explanation:
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
This will be:
= 5 - 3
= 2 moving jobs
b. The value of that marginal product is ______..
Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:
= 2 × $100
= $200
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker
Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:
= $30 × 4 × 2
= $240
Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

Group of answer choices subtracting the inflation rate from adding the inflation rate to subtracting the average return on the U.S. Treasury bill from adding the average return on the U.S. Treasury bill to subtracting the average return on long-term government bonds from
Answer:
The answer is "subtracting the average return on the U.S. Treasury bill from".
Explanation:
By subtracting the average annual return on the US Treasury bill form of the investment's average return, that excess return is calculated, when the risk premium is another term for excess return. After subtracting the risk-free return from its investment's annualized value, the risk premium is calculated its avg treasury bond investment is a risk-free portfolio.
Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Free Flight Corporation, located in Denver, Colorado, produces bicycle accessories, including bicycle helmets which requires a rigid, crushable foam. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,800 helmets, using 2,736 kilograms of foam. The foam cost the company $18,058. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.66 kilograms of foam, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram.
Required:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of foam (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,800 helmets?
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ * SP) to make 3,800 helmets?
3. What is the materials spending variance?
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
(For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output
3. Materials spending variance
4. Materials price variance
Materials quantity variance
Answer:
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556
3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable
4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable
Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of foam
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = 0.66*3800
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed =2508kg
2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed
Standard cost allowed for actual output = 2508kg *7
Standard cost allowed for actual output=$17,556
3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance using this formula
Material spending variance = Standard cost - Actual cost
Let plug in the formula
Material spending variance= $17,556- $18,058
Material spending variance= $502 Unfavorable
4. Calculation to determine the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance
Material price variance = (7- $18,058/2,736)*2,736
Material price variance = $1094Favorable
Material quantity variance =(2508kg-2,736)*7
Material quantity variance= $1596 unfavorable
Therefore:
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556
3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable
4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable
Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $54,000 and a current ratio of 1.80. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $6,000 on account, and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $1,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)
Transaction (1) ________________
Transaction (2) ________________
Answer:
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64
Explanation:
The current ratio is a measure of liquidity which measures the amount of current assets a business has to pay off each $1 of current liability. It is calculated as follows,
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
We know the initial current ratio and current assets. The initial current liabilities will be,
1.8 = 54000 / Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = 54000 / 1.8
Current Liabilities = $30000
Transaction 1
The result of transaction 1 will be that the current assets will increase by $6000 as inventory increases and the current liabilities will also increase by $6000 as accounts payable are increasing. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = (54000 + 6000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Transaction 2
The result of transaction 2 will be that the current assets will decrease by $1000 as payment for truck which is a fixed asset is made partly by cash and the current liabilities will not increase as the note signed for the remaining payment of the truck is due after 2 years thus it is a non current liability. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = (54000 + 6000 -1000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64
Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,000. He rejected several offers in the $350,000 range during the summer. Finally, on August 16, he and the purchaser signed a contract to sell for $363,000. The sale (i.e., closing) took place on September 7. The closing statement showed the following disbursements:
Real estate agent's commission $21,780
Appraisal fee 600
Exterminator's certificate 300
Recording fees 800
Mortgage to First Bank 305,000
Cash to seller 34,520
Wesley's adjusted basis for the house is $200,000. He owned and occupied the house for seven years. On October 1, 2017, Wesley purchases another residence for $325,000.
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is __________
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is ___________
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________
Answer:
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.
Explanation:
Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.
If the selling price is $800,000;
Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520
