As a condition of being allowed to apply for a job with Good Hands Industries, Charles is asked to waive his right to object to workplace searches. After signing the waiver, he is offered a job, and he accepts it. Sometime later, he is subjected to a search. If Charles seeks legal redress on the grounds that the search violated his privacy rights, his employer:_________-
A. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was not given voluntarily.
B. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because Charles did not grant it intentionally.
C. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer.
D. will be able to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given in exchange for valuable consideration.
Answer:
The answer is C (will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer).
Explanation:
In the employment setting, there are instances where an employer could violate an employee privacy right. For instance, the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure could be very strict on a public employer compared to a private employer where the private employers are given some degree of power too. Searching employees without their consent would be directly proportional to their breach of privacy that they have right to. Charles seeking legal redress is permitted since he initially signed to waive his right to object to workplace searches prior to his job offer. At every point where workplace searches is required by the employer especially when the searches are not done at public open places, the employee consent should be required too.
XYZ is considering two proposed machinery investments. Proposals A and B each cost $600,000, have 6-year lives, and have expected total cash flows of $750,000. Proposal A is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of $125,000 while the net cash flows for Proposal B are as follows: Year 1 $250,000 Year 2 $200,000 Year 3 $150,000 Year 4 $ 75,000 Year 5 $ 50,000 Year 6 $ 25,000 Determine the cash payback period for Proposal A and B. Show all calculations. Rounds answers to 1 decimal place.
Answer:
Payback period for Proposal A = 4.8 years
Payback period for Proposal B = 3 years
Explanation:
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal A:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow
0 $600,000 $125,000
1 $125,000
2 $125,000
3 $125,000
4 $125,000
5 $125,000
6 $125,000
Cash Payback period = Cost of Capital investment/Net Annual cash flow
Cash Payback period = $600,000/$125,000
Cash Payback period = 4.8 years
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal B:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow Cumulative Net Cash Flows
0 $600,000 $250,000 $250,000
1 $200,000 $450,000
2 $150,000 $600,000
3 $75,000 $675,000
4 $50,000 $725,000
5 $25,000 $750,000
6
The Cumulative net cash flow of $600,000 is equal to investment cost of $600,000 for 3 years. So, payback period for proposal B is 3 years.
The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

Stormy Corporation has two service departments (S1 and S2) and two production departments (P1 and P2), and uses the step-down method of cost allocation. Management has determined that S1 provides more service to the firm than S2, and has decided that the number of employees is the best allocation base to use for S1. The following data are available:
Department Number of Employees
S1 10
S2 20
P1 50
P2 70
Which of the following statements is (are) true if S1 and S2 have respective operating costs of $280,000 and $350,000?
Multiple Choice
A. S2 should allocate a portion of its $350,000 cost to S1.
B. S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 140 employees.
C. S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 150 employees.
D. S2 should allocate a total of $390,000 to P1 and P2.
E. Both S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 140 employees and S2 should allocate a total of $390,000 to P1 and P2.
Answer:
E. Both S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 140 employees and S2 should allocate a total of $390,000 to P1 and P2.
Explanation:
As S1 gives more service, So it would be allocated first
Here
S1 cost of $280,000 would be allocated to S2 P1 and P2 based on number of employees
The total employees in S2 P1 and P2 is
= 20 + 50 + 70
= 140
And, the Cost to be allocated per employee is
= $280,000 ÷ 140
= $2,000
Now cost received by S2 is
= $2,000 × 20
= $40000
And, the cost received by P1 is
= $2,000 × 50
= $100,000
And, the cost received by P2 is
= $2,000 × $70
= $140,000
Now
S2 contains total cost of
= $350,000 + $40,000 (from S1)
= $390,000
So this would be allocated to P1 and P2 as S1 has already allocated
Hence, option D is correct
Waterways has discovered that a small fitting it now manufactures at a cost of $1.00 per unit could be bought elsewhere for $0.83 per unit. Waterways has fixed costs of $0.20 per unit that cannot be eliminated by buying this unit. Waterways needs 474,000 of these units each year. If Waterways decides to buy rather than produce the small fitting, it can devote the machinery and labor to making a timing unit it now buys from another company. Waterways uses approximately 500 of these units each year. The cost of the unit is $13.26. To aid in the production of this unit, Waterways would need to purchase a new machine at a cost of $2,369, and the cost of producing the units would be $10.00 a unit. Without considering the possibility of making the timing unit, evaluate whether Waterways should buy or continue to make the small fitting. The company should (buy/Make) the fitting. Incremental cost / (savings) will be ____________$
Answer:
Particulars Make Buy Incremental cost
Manufacturing cost $474,000 $474,000
Purchase $393,420 ($393,420)
(474,000*$0.83)
Fixed Cost $94,800 ($94,800)
(474,000*$0.20)
Total relevant cost $474,000 $488,220 ($14,220)
Conclusion: The company should make the fitting and the incremental savings will be $14,220

Carla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable costs $250,000, and fixed costs $94,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or units sold. 2. Reduce variable costs to 56% of sales. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Net Income $ 2. Net Income $ Which course of action will produce the higher net income
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold
Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500
= $70
Now
Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)
= $77
Now
Expected Sales = 5500 × $77
= $423,500
Now
Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000
2.
Sales = $385000
Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600
Sales $385,000
Less: variable cost -$215,600
Contribution Margin $169,400
Les: fixed cost -$94,000
Net Income $75,400
As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Capital expenditures - Dividends
Free cash flow = $361,200 - $206,000 - $126,900
Free cash flow = $28,300
So, the Free cash flow of Hinck Corporation is $28,300.
if the market price of common stock increases substantially, bondholders with convertible bonds benefit. convertible bonds can be converted into common stock at the option of the issuing company. bondholders with convertible bonds receive interest on the bonds until conversion. convertible bonds sell at a higher price and pay a lower rate of interest than those without the conversion option.
Answer:
if the market price of common stock increases substantially,
bondholders with convertible bonds benefit.
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a fixed interest debt security. The number of common shares into which it can be converted is predetermined at the issuance date. While the conversion can be done at certain time in the life of the bond, the decision to convert is usually at the discretion of the bondholder. As investors, bondholders opt to convert when it would be most profitable. This happens when the market price of the common stock increases.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Area Before Trade After Trade Change
Value Value Value
Consumer Surplus $? $? $?
Producer Surplus $? $? $?
Total Welfare $ ? $? $?
Consumer surplus = Total quantity demanded at consumer's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price
Producer surplus = Total quantity supplied at supplier's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price
Change value at consumer surplus = $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000)
Change value at producer surplus = $-3,000 ($1,000 - $4,000)
Total welfare before trade = $8,000 ($4,000 + $4,000)
Total welfare after trade = $10,000 ($9,000 + $1,000)
The net gain from free international trade is the difference between the total welfare value after trade and before trade = $2,000 ($10,000 - $8,000)
At the beginning of 2020, Concord Company acquired a mine for $3,251,600. Of this amount, $124,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,100,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Concord incurred $210,800 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $49,600. During 2020, 2,634,000 units of ore were extracted and 1,894,000 of these units were sold.
Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Answer:
A. $737,520
B. $530,320
Explanation:
a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.
First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate
Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000
Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000
Depletion Rate= 0.28
Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.
2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000
2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520
Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520
B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000
Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000
Expense amount charged=$530,320
Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320
A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 19,000 defective units that cost $5.40 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $3.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.60 each and then sold for the full price of $8.90 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700
Explanation:
Unit contribution from selling as scrap is the equal to the scrap value = 3.50
Unit contribution when reworked and sold as scrap =Selling price - cost of re-work= $8.90-4.60= $4.3
Incremental income as scrap = $3.50×19,000= $66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $4.3 × 19,000 = $81,700
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700
The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same but that have different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 6 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 40 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 10 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate.
Required:
If the aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class), what is the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock?
Answer:
12.4%
Explanation:
After-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = After-Tax Return - Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 10 - 6*(1-40%)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 6.4%
Pre-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield
Pre-Tax Return = 6.4% + 6%
Pre-Tax Return = 12.4%
Hence, the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock is 12.4%

7. After 34 payments have been made, what percentage of the total interest has been paid (round to the nearest percentage point)?
____ %
8. After 34 payments have been made, what percentage of the total principal has been paid (round to the nearest percentage point)?
____ %
Answer:
Loan = $670,000
Interest Rate = 11.4%
Years (Life) = 54 years
1. Loan = Annual installment * (1-(1+i)^-n)/i
$670,000 = Annual installment * (1-(1+11.4%)^-54)/11.4%
$670,000 = Annual installment * 8.74614912
Annual installment = $670,000 /8.74614912
Annual installment = 76605.14257
Annual installment = $76,605
2. Total interest payment = Total installments - Original loan
Total interest payment = $76605.14*54 - $670,000
Total interest payment = $4,136,677.56 - $670,000
Total interest payment = $3,466,677.699
Total interest payment = $3,466,678
3. Capital o/s after 34 payments = 76605.14257 × (1-(1+11.4%)^-20)/11.4%
= $594412.8888
Capital repaid = $670000 - $594412.8888 = $75587.11123
Total interest paid till 34 installments = $76605.14257*34 - $75587.11123 = $2528987.736
Percentage of interest = ($2528987.736/ ($76605.14257*54- $670000)) * 100
Percentage of interest = 0.7295133715
Percentage of interest = 72.95133715%
4. Percentage of principal = (75587.11123/670000)*100
Percentage of principal = 0.1128165839
Percentage of principal = 11.28165839%
Percentage of principal ≈ 11%

Green Manufacturing, Inc., plans to announce that it will issue $2 million of perpetual debt and use the proceeds to repurchase common stock. The bonds will sell at par with a coupon rate of 6%. Green is currently an all-equity firm worth $6.3 million with 400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. After the sale of the bonds, Green will maintain the new capital structure indefinitely. Green currently generates annual pretax earnings of $1.5 million. This level of earnings is expected to remain constant in perpetuity. Green is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%.
A) What is the expected return on Green?s equity before the announcement of the debt issue?
B) Construct Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue. What is the price per share of the firm's equity?
C) Construct Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue. What is Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement?
D) How many shares will Green purchase as a result of the debt issue? How many shares of common stock will remain after the repurchase?
E) Construct a market value balance sheet after the restructuring. What is the required return on Green's equity after the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation and attachment
Explanation:
a. Return on equity:
= Pre tax earnings × (1 - Tax rate) / Total equity
= 1.5 million × (1 - 40%) / 6.3 million
= 1.5 million × (1 - 0.4) / 6.3 million
= (1.5 million × 0.6) / 6.3 million
= 0.9 million / 6.3 million
= 14.29%
b. Check attachment for Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue.
The price per share of the firm's equity will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= $6300000 / 400000
= $15.75 per share
c. Check Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue.
Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement will be calculated thus:
We need to know the value of tax shield which will be:
= 40% × $2,000,000
= $800,000
Value of firm = $6,300,000 + $800,000
= $7,100,000
Price per share will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= 7100000 / 400000
= $17.75 per share
d. The number of shares that Green will purchase as a result of the debt issue will be:
= Debt issue / Price per share
= 2,000,000 / 17.57
= 112,676
The number of shares of common stock that will remain after the repurchase will be:
= 400000 - 112676
= 287324
e. Check attachment for market value balance sheet after the restructuring.
The required return on Green's equity after the restructuring will be:
= 14.29% + (2000000/5100000) × (14.29% - 6%) × (1 - 40%)
= 14.29% + 0.3921 × 8.29% × 0.6
= 14.29% + 1.95%
= 16.24%

Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $66000 and $44000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $6000 and $61000, respectively. How much cash was provided by operating activities during the year
Answer:
$1,454,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much cash was provided by operating activities during the year
Using this formula
Operating activities=Net income+Depreciation+ Increased in Accounts receivable -Increased in inventories + Decreased in Prepaid expenses - Decreased in accounts payable
Let plug in the formula
Operating activities=$1251000 + $236000 -$66000 - $44000 +$6000 - $61000
Operating activities=$1,454,000
Therefore the amount of cash was provided by operating activities during the year is $1,454,000
