RLW-II Enterprises estimated that indirect manufacturing costs for the year would be $60 million and that 12,000 machine hours would be used
Answer: $3,150,000
Explanation:
Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.
Indirect Costs
It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.
Indirect cost per machine hour is;
= 60,000,000/12,000
= $5,000 per hour
With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;
= 200 * 5,000
= $1,000,000
Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000
= $3,150,000
Calculate the monthly implicit costs for a business owner who devotes 200 hours per month to his business that could be spent working at $50/hour for someone else.
Answer:
Implicit cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of using resources a business already owns.
This business owner passes this income by being in a business for himself
200 hours per month multiplied by $50/hour
200 x 50
= 10000
Implicit cost = $10,000

Price drops by
Answer:
$81, $75, and $69
a. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $81 = $3888000
$21,303,000
Price after issue of new shares = 21,303,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,303,000 / 263,000
= $81
Conclusion: No changes ($0 per share
b. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $75 = $3600000
$21015000
Price after issue of new shares = 21015000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 21,015,000 / 263,000
= $79.90
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 79.90) = $1.10 per share
c. Market value of existing shares = 215000 * $81 = $17415000
Value of New shares issued = 48000 * $69 = $3312000
$20,727,000
Price after issue of new shares = 20,727,000 / (215000 + 48000)
= 20,727,000 / 263,000
= $78.81
Conclusion: There is a decrease in amount (81 - 78.81) = $2.19 Per share

Suppose the exchange rate is 90 yen per U.S. dollar and the United States wants to keep the exchange rate at a target rate of 90 yen per U.S. dollar. If the demand for U.S. dollars decrease, the Fed ______
A. buys dollars to raise the exchange rate
B. sells dollars to raise the exchange rate
C. sells dollars to lower the exchange rate
D. buys dollars to lower the exchange rate
Answer:
Option A, buys dollars to raise the exchange rate, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option A is correct because when the Fed will buy the dollars then only the demand for dollars will shift rightwards. Consequently, the dollar price or exchange rate will go up. Therefore, the Fed will buy the dollars to increase the exchange rate. In another case, if the Fed wants to decrease the exchange rate then it will sell the dollars, and selling of dollars will shift the supply rightwards. Thus, the exchange rate will fall.
The value of the currency of a country as contrasted to the other country or the economic region is called an exchange rate.
The correct answer is:
Option A. buys dollars to raise the exchange rate.
This can be explained as:
When Fed will purchase a dollar then, there will be shifts towards the right.The transfer rate or the dollar price will rise.So to enhance the economic measure dollar should be purchased.To reduce the exchange rate dollar should be sold.Therefore, Fed should buy dollars.

balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?
Answer: $2,420,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000

Answer: $4950
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:
= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12
= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12
= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5

Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.
Answer:
Twitter's amended S-1 filing
Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:
= $98 million
Explanation:
Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.
The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000
The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $185,574,000
The capital expenditure in 2013 = $98,450,000
The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.
Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company," as it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True.
Explanation:
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?
Answer:
Cost performance index is 81.25%
Explanation:
Actual cost = $80,000
Planned value = $70,000
Earned value = $65,000
Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.
CPI = EV / AC
= $65,000 / $80,000
= 0.8125
= 0.8125 x 100
= 81.25%

The cost of equity capital is %, the cost of preferred stock is %, and the pretax cost of debt is %. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is %?
Complete Question:
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?
Answer:
7.96%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the formula:
WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100% +
After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100% +
Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%
Here,
Cost of equity is 17%
Cost of preferred stock is 11%
Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost * (1 - Tax rate)
This implies,
Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) = 5.4%
Equity weight is 10% weight in equity
Preferred stock weight is 25%
Debt Weight is 65%
By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:
WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%) + 11% * (25% / 100%) + 5.4% * (65% / 100%)
WACC = 1.7% + 2.75% + 3.51%
WACC = 7.96%
A company has a net cash inflow from operating activities of $793,000, a net cash outflow of $58,000 from investing activities and a net cash inflow of $100,800 from financing activities. The company paid $128,000 in interest, $188,500 in income taxes, and $204,000 in cash dividends. Which of the following statements about the statement of cash flows is not correct?a. The statement of cash flows will show a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $838, 500. b. If the direct method is used, the $125,000 of interest paid and the $187,000 of income taxes paid will be reported in the cash flows from operating activities. c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section. d. Supplemental disclosures required for a company using the indirect method include the amount of interest and the amount of income taxes paid.
Answer:
Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:
c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.
Explanation:
Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.
Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise. The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash. While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
Which of the following items would be a way to manipulate the cash flow from operating activities amount on the statement of cash flows?
a.
Adding depreciation back to net income to determine cash flow from operating activities.
b.
Including interest expense and tax expense in the calculation of cash flow from operating activities.
c.
Recording an item that should be recorded as an operating activity as an investing activity.
d.
The cash flow statement cannot be manipulated.

On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
Beverages manufactures its own . The bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a lightweight yet strong plastic. uses as much PET recycled resin pellets in its bottles as it can, both because using recycled PET helps to meet its sustainability goals and because recycled PET is less expensive than virgin PET.
Riley is continuing to search for ways to reduce its costs and its impact on the environment. PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.
Required:
a. Using the original data (before any redesign of soda bottles ), prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total.
b. Assume that the company retrofits the soda bottle molds and changes the plastic formulation slightly so that less PET plastic is used in each bottle. Now prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total for this possible scenario.
c. Compare the cost of PET plastic for Requirement 1 (original data) and for Requirement 2 (making change to using less PET.) What is the direct material cost savings from making the change to using less PET?
Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough space here.
C) total savings = previous materials costs - total cost per year after retrofitting - cost of retrofitting the molding machine = $137,105.10 - $102,168.00 - $22,112 = $12,825.10
Charger Company's most recent balance sheet reports total assets of $28,413,000, total liabilities of $16,113,000 and total equity of $12,300,000. The debt to equity ratio for the period is (rounded to two decimals):
Answer:
Debt to equity ratio is 1.31
Explanation:
Given the above inflation, the formula for debt to equity ratio is
= Total debt / Total equity
= $16,113,000 / $12,300,000
= 1.31
Therefore, debt to equity ratio is 1.31

2. Poe Company is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $85,500. The projected net cash flows are $40,500 for the first two years and $35,500 for years three and four. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Poe requires a 10% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of 1 and present value of an annuity for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.
Periods Present Value of 1 at 10% Present Value of anAnnuity of 1 at 10%
1 0.9091 0.9091
2 0.8264 1.7355
3 0.7513 2.4869
4 0.6830 3.1699
a. $(27,665).
b. $(14,857).
c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.
Answer:
1. $18620
2. $35709
Explanation:
1.we are required to find incremental loss.
= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)
Defect product = 900
Market price = 20.8
Price for each defect unit = 4.9
Price for defect correction = 6.1
1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)
= $18600
2. Present value of cash flow =
40500*0.9091 = 36818.55
40500*0.8264 = 33469.2
35500*0.7513 = 26671.15
35500*0.683 = 24246.5
Total = 121209
We subtract cost of new equipment from this value
121209-85500
= $35709
