Net cash flow from operating activities $16,442
b. The reasons for net loss but positive cash flow from operations are
Change in current assets, liabilities, depreciation
ANd, the reasons for having a difference is that the operating activities records the cash payment & cash receipt related to operating activities and the rest of things would be ignored
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%
Assume that Canada imports more goods and services than it exports. Which of the following is true of the Canadian balance of payments accounts?
(A) The current account balance must be negative.
(B) The current account balance must be positive
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
(D) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be negative
(E) The financial account (formerly called capital account) balance must be positive
Answer:
(C) The trade balance must be negative.
Explanation:
The Balance of trade refers to the net amount payable or receivable
In the case when the net amount is receivable so the balance of trade comes in positive and when the net amount payable is high than the balance of trade is negative.
Now
When the country exports greater than imports so it is a positive balance of Trade and on the other hand When the country imports greater than exports then the balance of trade is negative.

Explanation:
Oak Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, Glover, and has always operated as a C corporation. However, at the beginning of this year, Glover made a qualifying S election for Oak Corp., effective January 1. Oak Corp. did not have any C corporation earnings and profits on that date. On June 1, Oak Corp. distributed $15,000 to Glover. What are the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize on the distribution, and what is his basis in his Oak Corp. stock in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $35,000.
b. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $8,000.
c. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $0.
Answer:
Oak Corp distributed $15,000 to Glover and we are required to compute the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize under the scenarios as stated in the question:
a. No gain will be recognized by Glover. Rather, his stock basis will be reduced from $35,000 to $20,000 ($35,000 basis - $15,000 cash distribution). So, gain recognized by him is $0.
b. Long term capital gain of $7,000 ($15,000 - $8,000) will be recognized by Glover and his stock basis will be reduced from $8,000 to $0.
c. The entire $15,000 ($15,000-$0) will be recognized as long term capital gain by Glover and his stock basis will remain $0.
Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation: Year 1 Year 2 Number of units produced and sold 4,500 4,100 Sales revenue $ 69,750 $ 63,550 Cost of goods sold 41,700 38,000 Gross margin 28,050 25,550 General, selling, and administrative expenses 17,500 16,300 Net income $ 10,550 $ 9,250 Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two-year period, what is Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2?
Answer:
$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325
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%

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%
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $18,000
Temporary difference = $18,000 - $10,000

A company prints proceedings books for a trade show that are sold to attendees for $10 per book. The books cost the company $2 per book to make. Any books left over at the end of the trade show can be sold to a local paper mill for $0.50 each, but it costs the printing company $0.25 per book to haul them to the paper mill. What are the underage and overage costs for the books
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Selling price = $10
Cost price = $2
Now
The Salvage Value (SV) = 0.50 - 0.25 = 0.25
So,
Underage penalty (Cu) = Selling price - Cost price
= $10 - $2
= $8
And,
Overage penalty (Co) = Cost price - Salvage Value
= $2 - $0.25
= $1.75
Hence, the same is to be conisdered

Explanation:
The following facts relate to Oriole Corporation.
1. Deferred tax liability, January 1, 2020, $41,600.
2. Deferred tax asset, January 1, 2020, $0.
3. Taxable income for 2020, $98,800.
4. Pretax financial income for 2020, $104,000.
5. Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future taxable amounts, $249,600.
6. Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future deductible amounts, $36,400.
7. Tax rate for all years, 20%.
8. The company is expected to operate profitably in the future.
1. Compute income taxes payable for 2020:
2. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020.
3. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020, beginning with the line "Income before income taxes."
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The income taxes payable for 2020 will be:
= Taxable income for 2020 × Tax rate
= $98,800 × 20%
= $98,800 × 0.2
= $19760
b. The journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020 goes thus:
Income tax expense:
= Pretax financial income for 2020 × Tax rate
= $104,000 × 20%
= $104,000 × 0.2
= $20800
The income taxes payable = $19760
Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future taxable amounts = $249,600
Deferred tax liability required at December 31, 2020:
= $249,600 × 20%
= $49920
Deferred tax liability, January 1, 2020 = $41600
Therefore, the increase in deferred tax liability in 2020 will be:
= $49920 - $41600
= $8320
Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future deductible amounts = $36,400
Deferred tax assets balance required at December 31, 2020 will be:
= $36,400 × 20%
= $36400 × 0.2
= $7280
Deferred tax asset, January 1, 2020 = $0
Therefore, the increase in the deferred tax asset in 2020 will be:
= $7280 - 0
= $7,280
Therefore, the journal entry will be:
Debit Income Tax Expense = $20800
Debit Defered Tax Asset = $7,280
Credit Income Tax Payable = $19760
Credit Defered Tax Liability = $8320
(To record income tax expense, defered assets and defered liabilities)
c. The income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020 will be:
Income before Income Tax = $104000
Less: Income Tax expense - Current = $19760
Less: Income Tax expense - Defered = $1040
Net income = $83200
Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Answer:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Based on the information given her basis in the land equal to the amount of $89,700 while are remaining basis in JM is the amount of $14,225, Calculated as:
Predistribution basis in JM $82,500
Add deemed contribution $21,425
(50%*$42,850)
Less: basis allocated to land ($89,700)
Remaining basis in JM $14,225
Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Frieda Inc. is considering a capital expansion project. The initial investment of undertaking this project is $105,500. This expansion project will last for five years. The net operating cash flows from the expansion project at the end of year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are estimated to be $22,500, $25,800, $33,000, $45,936 and $58,500 respectively. Frieda has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 16% and the cost of equity is 18.5%.
What is Frieda%u2019s weighted average cost of capital?
a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%
Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
In 2001, HP acquired Compaq. The merger had an impact on two different markets: desktop PCs and servers. Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC market were as follows: Dell, 13; Compaq, 12; HP, 8; IBM, 6; Gateway, 4. Pre-merger market shares in the servers market were as follows: IBM, 26; Compaq, 16; HP, 14; Dell, 7. Source: Bank of America report, October 2001. Data for 2001Q2.
(a) Determine the value of HHI in each market before the merger.
(b) Assuming market shares of each firm remain constant, determine the value of HHI after the merger.
(c) Considering the values determined above and the DoJ merger guidelines, was the Department of Justice right in allowing the merger to take place?
Answer:
HP and Compaq
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached. This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
Compaq, 12 16
HP, 8 14
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0

Consider the following statements about the step-down method of service department cost allocation: I. Under the step-down method, all service department costs are eventually allocated to production departments. II. The order in which service department costs are allocated is important. III. After a service department's costs have been allocated to other departments, no costs are re-circulated back to that service department. Which of the above statements is (are) correct?
a. I, II, and III.
b. I only.
c. I and II.
d. II only.
e. I and III.
Answer:
The correct statements under the step-down method are:
a. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The step-down method of allocating the costs of service departments is one of the three methods in use. The others include the direct method and the reciprocal method. With the direct method, service departments' costs are directly allocated to the production departments without any allocation to a service department. The reciprocal method is much more involved, using formulas and calculations. The step-down method allocates the service departments' costs to all the other service and production departments, except itself. This step is eventually followed until all the service departments' costs have been allocated to the production departments.

rr Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method on December 31, Year 12.Farr's entire inventory constitutes a single pool. On December 31, Year 12, the inventorywas $480,000 under the dollar-value LIFO method. Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

On December 27, 2020, Roberta purchased four tickets to a charity ball sponsored by the city of San Diego for the benefit of underprivileged children. Each ticket cost $125 and had a fair market value of $25. On the same day as the purchase, Roberta gave the tickets to the minister of her church for personal use by his family. At the time of the gift of the tickets, Roberta pledged $11,050 to the building fund of her church. The pledge was satisfied by a check dated December 31, 2020, but not mailed until January 3, 2021.
a. Presuming Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, she can deduct $_________ for the tickets and $____________ for the pledge as a charitable contribution for 2018.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta were an accrual basis taxpayer?
Answer:
a. Presuming that Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, how much can she deduct as a charitable contribution for 2020?
Roberta can deduct ($125 x 4) - ($25 x 4) = $500 - $100 = $500. She cannot deduct the check because it was not mailed before December 31.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta was an accrual basis taxpayer? Explain.
As an accrual taxpayer, she could deduct $500 + $11,050 = $11,550. She had already written the check and the fact that it was mailed on January 3 doesn't make a difference for an accrual taxpayer.
