Explanation:
As the shares were acquired by the officer on the open market, they are considered Control Stock. Sale of Control Stock falls under the purview of Rule 144 of the SEC that governs the sale of restricted, unregistered, and control securities so a Form 144 will need to be filed with the Sec making III correct.
Furthermore, control stock are not subject to a holding period requirement so option II is correct as well. Option C is therefore the best answer.
Following are financial data from year-end financial statements of Portland Company for 2017, 2016 and 2015.
2017 2016 2015
Accounts receivable $136,125 $144,576 $132,000
Cost of goods sold 1,023,750 864,000 960,000
Current assets 450,000 360,000 405,000
Current liabilities 300,000 250,000 310,000
Inventory 225,000 165,000 195,000
Sales 1,642,500 1,752,000 1,200,000
Required:
Compute the following financial ratios for 2016 and 2017.
Answer:
Answers are calculated below
Explanation:
Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows
CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities
Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000
Current ratio (2016) = 1.44
Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000
Current ratio (2017) = 1.50
ACID RATIO
Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities
Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000
Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78
Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000
Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000
Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/(360,000 ÷2)
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25
DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE
Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio
Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)
Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days
Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)
Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days
Working 1
Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable
Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)
Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times
Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)
Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times
Working 2
Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2
Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2
Average receivable (2016) = 138,288
Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2
Average receivable (2017) = 140,351

Along the way, she won a new car on "The Price Is Right" (valued at $15,500) and won $500 on a scratch-off lottery ticket (the first time she ever played). She also signed up for a credit card to start the trip and was given a sign-up bonus of $100. How much will she have to include in her federal taxable income?
2A. What is the amount of taxes for a head of house hold with a taxable income of $57,500 with a rate of 25%?
B. What is the amount of taxes for a single person with a taxable income of $35,000 with a rate of 15%?
C. What is the amount of taxes for a married couple filling jointly with a taxable income of $70,700 with a rate of 15%?
Answer:
1. 16,100
Explanation:
To get how much she would include in her federal taxable income. We would have to add up these values:
The car won on the price is right + scratch off lottery + sign up bonus.
15,500 + 500 + 100
=$16,100
2a.
head of household
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(37650 - 9275)*15% = 4256.1
(57500 - 37650)*25% = 4962.5
total = 927.5 + 4256.1 + 4962.5
= 10146.1
2b
single person
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(35000-9275)*10% = 3858.75
total = 927.5 + 3858.75
= 4786.25
2c
for married couple
0 to 18550 at 10% = 1855
(70700-1855)*15% = 7822.5
total = 1855 + 7822.5
=9677.5
Which of the following acts requires that a trustee be appointed for sales of bonds, debentures, and other debt securities of public corporations?
a. Securities Investor Protection Act
b.Trust Indenture Act
c. Investment Company Act
d. Investment Advisors Act
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Trust Indenture Act.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Trust Indenture Act of 1939" or TIA refers to the an american law that specifically supplements the Securities Act of 1933 and whose purpose is basically put more safety in the cases where debt securities are distributed in the United States. It does it by requiring the appointment of a suitably and totally independent trustee who is qualified and has the only job to act for the benefit of the holders of those securities, that could be bonds, debentures or others. In addition, this act is managed obviously by the same agent as the other one, the Securities and Exchange Commission
Cheyenne Corp. had the following transactions that took place during the year:I.Recorded credit sales of $2250II.Collected $1350 from customersIII.Recorded sales returns of $450 and credited the customer's account.What is the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow?a) No Effectb) Cannot be determinedc) Increased) Decrease
Answer:
The correct option is d) Decrease.
Explanation:
Free cash flow (FCF) can be described as the cash that is generated by a company after cash outflows required to support operations and maintain the capital assets of the company have been accounted for.
Therefore, FCF can be calculated by adjusting for non-cash expenses, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures to reconcile net income.
The total effect of these transactions on free cash flow can be determined by first calculating the account receivable for the year as follows:
Calculation of account receivable for the year:
Particular Amount ($)
Credit sales 2,250
Cash collected from the customer (1,350)
Sales returns (450)
Account receivable 450
A partial free cash flow statement can therefore be prepared as follows:
Cheyenne Corp.
Free cash flow statement (Partial)
Particular Amount ($)
Net income xx
(Increase) decrease in non-cash current assets:
Increase in account receivable (450)
Free cash flow (450)
Since the free cash flow is negative or minus $450, it therefore implies that the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow is a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is d) Decrease.

How much time, on average, would a server need to spend on a customer to achieve a service rate of 20 customers per hour?
Answer:
3 hour 18 minutes or 3 hour
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of time on average is shown below:-
The Average waiting time in the system
= [tex]\frac{1}{\mu} -\gamma[/tex]
Now we will put the values into the above formula to reach the time on average which is here below:-
[tex]= \frac{1}{20} - 1[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{19}[/tex]
= 0.053 × 60 minutes
= 3 hours 18 minutes
We assume [tex]\gamma[/tex] is 1 hour
Therefore for computing the time on average we simply applied the above formula.
Burke's Corner currently sells blue jeans and T-shirts. Management is considering adding fleece tops to its inventory to provide a cooler weather option. The tops would sell for $53 each with expected sales of 4,300 tops annually. By adding the fleece tops, management feels the firm will sell an additional 285 pairs of jeans at $65 a pair and 420 fewer T-shirts at $26 each. The variable cost per unit is $36 on the jeans, $16 on the T-shirts, and $31 on the fleece tops. With the new item, the depreciation expense is $33,000 a year and the fixed costs are $76,000 annually. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer: $26,282.25
Explanation:
The operating cash-flow will be the amount of cash the company got from sales less the amount they would have to pay on taxes.
Cash from tops
= (Sales price - Variable costs) * quantity
= ( 53 - 31) * 4,300
= $94,600
Cash from jeans
= ( 65 - 36) * 285
= $8,265
Cash from jeans
= (26 - 16) * -420
= -$4,200
As this deals with cash, a tax adjusted depreciation will need to be added back because it is a non cash expense and fixed costs will have to be deducted.
Pre-tax operating cash-flow = 94,600 + 8,265 - 4,200 - 76,000
= $22,665
Post-tax Project Operating cash-flow
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (depreciation * tax)
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (33,000 * 0.35)
= $14,732.25 + 11,550
= $26,282.25

The mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will also lower total costs for a supply chain.
a) true
b) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
Transportation is the movement of individuals or goods from one place to another. Supply chain are the steps that are involved before a product will finally get to the consumer.
It should be noted that the mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will not necessarily lower total costs for a supply chain. This I because transportation isn't the only process involved on supply chain.
Murray Motor Company wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $3.00 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $60 per share. The expected growth rate is 8 percent.
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Cost of retained earnings___%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of new common stock ____%
Answer:
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke)
$60 = $3 / (Ke - 8%)
Ke - 8% = $3 / $60 = 5%
Ke = 13%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn).
$60 (1 - $5/$60) = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
$55 = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
Kn - 8% = $3 / $55 = 5.45%
Kn = 13.45%
Flotation costs reduce the amount of money that the company receives for every new stock that it issues, therefore, it increases the cost of new stocks.
An investment adviser representative's friend provides him with a list of 10 prospective clients. The representative agrees to pay his friend a referral fee for each person on the list that opens an account with the adviser. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: C. The arrangement is permitted only if it is in writing between the investment adviser and the friend and the arrangement is disclosed in writing to any customer opening an account
Explanation:
The friend in this case will be ruled to be a Solicitor under SEC Rules as they are referring clients to the Investment Adviser for a fee.
As such this business relationship between the friend and the Investment Adviser representative will fall under SEC Rule 206(4)-3 Cash payments for client solicitations. This rule makes it clear amongst other things that the investment adviser will have to prepare a written disclosure document which will inform any customer opening an account of the agreement between the adviser and his friend.
has a target debt−equity ratio of .50. Its cost of equity is 15 percent, and its cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
11.35%
Explanation:
The calculation of WACC is shown below:-
WACC = Cost of equity × (equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)) + cost of debt × (debt ÷ (Debt + Equity)) × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.15 × (1 ÷ 1.50) + 0.06 × (0.50 ÷ 1.50) × (1 - 0.34)
= 0.15 × 0.67 + 0.06 × 0.33 × 0.66
= 0.1005 + 0.013068
= 11.35%
Therefore for computing the WACC we simply applied the above formula.

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $700 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 7% and the expected rate of return on the market is 14%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
using the CAPM,
The expected rate of return = risk free rate + beta(market rate of return - risk free rate)
if beta is 0,
7% + 0 X(14% - 7%) = 7%
If beta is 1,
7% + 1 X(14% - 7%) = 14%
Present value of a perpetuity = amount / expected rate of return
if beta is 0, present value = $700 / 7% = $100
if beta is 1, present value = $700 / 14% = $50
the amount offered will differ by $100 - $50 = $50

Irene’s Dairy is deciding whether or not to enter the market for ice cream, currently monopolized by Mattie’s Ice-cream. If it enters the market, Mattie’s can either accommodate him and share his 10million in profits equally with Irene or fight him and cause a 5million loss for each in a price war. What would the profits be for Mattie’s Dairy if Irene does not enter the market?
Answer:
"Threaten to always accommodate" is the correct choice.
Explanation:
As we acknowledge accommodation seems to be the phase wherein we change current understanding in anything other than a sense that new information of interest is integrated. And then we can tell whether Mattie won't try to compromise Irene and will therefore surely consider to "intimidate to accommodate" Irene throughout all times. Accommodate means, for example, introducing a piece of different information about what another person asks mother in some kind of a railway station what it's really. Mother says this is train and starts running on what seems like a device like buses running on roadways.Suppose that fixed investment is $480 billion and (total) investment is $630 billion.

Answer:
The exit multiple expect that the market different premise is a reasonable strategy for esteeming a business. The estimation of the business is gotten by duplicating money related measurements, for example, EBITDA or EBIT by a factor that is basic to practically identical organizations that were as of late procured. A fitting scope of products can be created by taking a gander at late equivalent acquisitions in the open market.
The various acquired is then increased by the anticipated EBIT or EBITDA in year N (last year of projection period) to give the future incentive toward the finish of year N. The future value (otherwise called terminal value) is then limited by a factor equivalent to the quantity of years in the projection time frame.
The worth got is then added to the current estimation of the free incomes to acquire the suggested venture esteem. For repetitive organizations where profit vacillate as per varieties in the economy, we utilize the normal EBITDA or EBIT over the span of the particular recurrent as opposed to the sum in year N in the projection time frame.
This implies an industry different is applied as opposed to applying a current numerous to consider the recurrent varieties of profit. On the off chance that investigators utilized a current numerous, the valuation would be influenced by financial cycles.
A Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is used to value a business by dividing its enterprise value by its annual revenue. The formula to calculate the Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is EV/Revenue
EV = Enterprise Value
EV can be denoted as (Equity Value + All Debt + Preferred Shares) – (Cash and Equivalents)
While Revenue = Total Annual Revenue
This can be calculated when we have a share price, shares outstanding, debt, and cash or its equivalence.

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.
Instructions
Use the net present value method to determine whether Hillsong should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine, and state the reason for your conclus
Answer:
NPV = 37,599 Negative
Explanation:
We can calculate the NPV of the new sewing machine by deducting the Present value of future cash inflows by Investment
Initial investment = Machine cost + Training cost - Salvage value
Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000
Initial investment = 2,285,000
Year DF(9%) Present Value
1 Cash inflow 390,000 x 0.917 $357,798
2 Cash inflow 400,000 x 0.842 $336,672
3 Cash inflow 411,000 x 0.772 $317,367
4 Cash inflow 426,000 x 0.708 $301,789
5 Cash inflow 334,100 x 0.650 $217,077 (434,100 - 100,000)
6 Cash inflow 435,000 x 0.596 $259,376
7 Cash inflow 436,000 x 0.547 $238,507
7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547 $218,814
Present Value of cash inflow $2,247,401
Initial investment $2,285,000
NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000) (37,599)
Conclusion: Hillsong should not purchase the new machine as the NPV of the machine is negative
Suppose you work for a company that makes a product line for a large hardware chain. The chain asks you for a price quote for 30,000 units that will require a $1,500,000 investment with marginal costs of $15 per unit. What is the lowest price you are willing to quote
Answer:
$1,950,000
Explanation:
Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where
investment cost = $1,500,000
+
margin per unit cost = $450,000 (30,000 x $15)
Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.
