Answer:
22.38%
Explanation:
Raven corporation has just gone public
They received $15.90 for each 25 million shares that was sold
The first step is to calculate the net amount raised
Net amount that was raised= 15.90×25,000,000 = 397,500,000
397,500,000-860,000-330,000
= 396,310,000
Underwriter spread= 17.50-15.90
= 1.6 per shares
Total underwriter spread= per share spread× number of shares that were offered
= 1.6×25,000,000
= 40,000,000
Total direct costs= 40,000,000+860,000
=40,860,000
Indirect flotation cost= indirect cost+price appreciation
= 330,000+(19.40-17.50)×25,000,000
= 330,000+1.9×25,000,000
=330,000+47,500,000
= 47,830,000
Total flotation cost= 47,830,000+40,860,000
= 88,690,000
Therefore, the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised can be calculated as follows
= 88,690,000/396,310,000 × 100
= 0.2238×100
= 22.38%
Hence the flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised is 22.38%

Ideally, in effective marketing planning, goals should be _____ in terms of what is to be accomplished and when.
Answer:
The answer is quantified and measurable.
Explanation:
Goals need to be quantified and measurable in effective marketing planning. To determine what needs to be accomplished and when, we must put figures to it. This makes performance measurement easier where variances at the end can be analysed.
For example, one of the marketing goals for bank A might be to onboard 100 new customers every month for a year after the launching of its new mobile app.
This example is quantified and can be measured every month.
Regulations that permit a regulated firm to cover its costs and to make a normal level of profit are commonly referred to as
Answer:
cost plus regulation
Explanation:
Cost plus regulation is generally used by the government to regulate monopolies (mainly natural monopolies like utilities, and others). The price that the monopoly can charge for its goods or services is set by the government and it should generally cover all of the company's costs plus allow it to make a "normal" profit.
Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $73,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2022 would be
Answer:
The answer is $17,640
Explanation:
Equipment was bought on Jan. 1, 2022 for $73,500. This is the historical cost of the asset.
Residual value is $6,450. This is the amount the equipment is being expected to sell for at the end of its useful life.
Useful life is 5 years.
To know the percentage to be used for the depreciation, we have:
100percent / 5 years
= 20 percent
Double-declining is 40 percent(20 percent x 2)
Depreciation for 2021 is
$73,500 x 40 percent
= $29,400.
Carrying amount at the end of 2021 which will also be for the beginning of 2022 is $44,100 ($73,500 - $29,400)
Depreciation for 2022:
$44,100 x 40 percent
$17,640.
Therefore, the depreciation for 2022 is $17,640.
Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $15.30 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 3.3% growth in sales each month, the number of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:
Answer:
Electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be: 11,023 units.
Explanation:
Apply the growth of 3.30% to each month starting December as follows :
December Sales = 10,000 units
January Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^1 = 10,330 units
February Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^2 = 10,671 units
March Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^3 = 11,023 units
The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000
Answer:
$26000
Explanation:
from the question;
check per day; 20000
delay: 3 days
checks to pay suppliers; 17000
clearing time 2 days
we first calculate collection flaot:
collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days
= 20000 x 3
= 60000
now we have to calculate disbursements float:
average amount of check x days to clear
= 17000 x 2
= 34000
with these two values we can get the net float
= collection flaot - disbursements float
= 60000 - 34000
= $26000

Costs which can be eliminated in whole or in part if a particular business segment is discontinued are called:
Answer:
Avoidable costs
Explanation:
An avoidable cost is defined as one that an entity will not incur if a particular activity is not undertaken.
In business operations avoidable costs are usually variable costs. These are costs that vary or change in the cost of production. For example wages, cost of raw materials, and labour. These can be avoided depending on business needs.
Costs that are not avoidable are fixed cost. For example rent, insurance, and utilities.
These costs are paid wether production occurs or not.
Tyler Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit. Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000 Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800 Selling and Administrative costs $186,000 $202,200 The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is: Group of answer choices $230,020 $51,410 $146,810 $32,330
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800
First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:
unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Finally, the total contribution margin:
total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020
The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.
Total Contribution Margin
To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:
Selling price $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume 5,000, & 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800
To find the value of Total Contribution margin:
Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.
Hence, option A is correct.

fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $5 variable cost per unit
Answer:
$2.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the estimation of variable cost per unit
Units Total cost
High method 15,000×$5 per units =$75,000
(5,000*3)=15,000
Low method 5,000*$10 per units=$50,000
Difference 10,000 $25,000
Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000
Variable cost per unit=$2.50
Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)
Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50

Net sales for the year were $1,050,000 and cost of goods sold was $735,000 for the company’s existing products. A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.
Answer:
The answer is:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
Explanation:
Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales
Net sales - $1,050,000
Cost of sales - ($735,000)
Gross profit -. $315,000
Gross profit ratio is:
(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?
Answer:
Yes, since NPV>0
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment
where,
Present value of cash inflows is
= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3
= $446.43 + $569.42
= $1,015.85
And the intial investment is $900
So, the net present value is
= $1,015.85 - $900
= $115.85
Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible
JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of interestt is the time in yearsFuture value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5
Future value = $1514.30
At Jacobson Company, indirect labor is a variable cost that varies with direct labor-hours. Last month’s performance report showed that actual indirect labor cost totaled $5,780 for the month and that the associated spending variance was $245 Favorable. If 24,100 direct labor-hours were actually worked last month, then the flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor must be (per direct labor-hour):
Answer:
Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor is $0.25 per DL hours
Explanation:
Flexible budget cost for indirect labor = Actual indirect labor cost + Associated spending variance
= $5,780 + $245
= $6,025
Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor= Flexible budget cost for indirect labor / Direct labor-hours
= $6,025 / 24,100 DL hours
= $0.25 per DL hours

Profit $197,475
Now we can calculate how much additional sales must be required to justify the promotion.
Sales Increase Required = (Initial Profit - Before Promotion) / Profit After Promotion
Sales Increase Required = ($247,475 - $197,475) / $197,475
Sales Increase Required = 25.31% which is close to option 1, hence Option 1 is correct here.

What is the beta for a company with a 12% expected return, while treasury bills are yielding 5% and the market risk premium is 7%
Answer:
The beta for the company is 1.
Explanation:
A beta is the measure of systematic risk associated to a stock or the portfolio. Systematic risk is the market risk that affects all the stocks in the market due to factors that are uncontrollable. Such a risk is what the companies compensate the investors for. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the expected rate of return of a stock. The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketWe already have the values for r, rRF and rpM. Plugging them in the formula, we calculate the beta to be,
0.12 = 0.05 + Beta * 0.07
0.12 - 0.05 = Beta * 0.07
0.07/ 0.07 = Beta
Beta = 1
Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year
Answer:
11.40
32 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.
They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks
inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000
Inventory turnover = $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40
days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days
You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?
Answer:
I will borrow yen at 6% a year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000
Spot rate = $1 = ¥107
Forward rate = $1 to ¥120
Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months
Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)
Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)
Gain from forward contract = $404.99
Interest cost for borrowing = 112.15
Overall debt hedging gain = $292.84
By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84. This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen. Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.
