Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option C.
Explanation:
Throughout the macroeconomic equilibrium, the aggregate supply curve becomes equivalent to something like the supply curve, the real GDP seems to be comparable to potential Output (GDP), however, if frictional as well as systemic unemployment seems to be the maximum total poverty throughout the longer term.Consequently, whenever the economy seems to be in macroeconomic equilibrium, the argument which is not accurate would be that the businesses would have excess power.So that Option C is the right answer.
Nicholas Health Systems recently reported an EBITDA of $25.0 million and net income of $15.8 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its federal tax rate was 21% (ignore any possible state corporate taxes). What was its charge for depreciation and amortization
Answer:
Depreciation and Amortization= $3,000,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Nicholas Health Systems recently reported an EBITDA of $25.0 million and a net income of $15.8 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its federal tax rate was 21%
We need to reverse engineer the net income calculation to determine the depreciation and amortization:
EBT= net income/(1-t)
EBT= 15,800,000/(1 - 0.21)
EBT= 20,000,000
EBIT= EBT + Interest
EBIT= 20,000,000 + 2,000,000
EBIT= 22,000,000
Now, we can determine D and A:
D and A= EBITDA - EBIT
DA= 25,000,000 - 22,000,000
DA= 3,000,000
A company can sell all the units it can produce of either Product A or Product B but not both. Product A has a unit contribution margin of $16 and takes two machine hours to make and Product B has a unit contribution margin of $30 and takes three machine hours to make. If there are 5,000 machine hours available to manufacture a product, income will be:
a. $10,000 more if Product A is made.
b. $10,000 less if Product B is made.
c. $10,000 less if Product A is made.
d. the same if either product is made.
Answer:
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Unitary contribution margin= $16
Machine-hours required= 2
Product B:
Unitary contribution margin= $30
Machine-hours required= 3
First, we will calculate the total income of both products.
Product A= 16*(5,000/2)= $40,000
Product B= 30*(5,000/3)= $50,000
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q = 1430 - P. Suppose the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot solution?
Answer: 357.50
Explanation:
Under Cournot model that has three firms, each firm produces at
q = (1430 – 0)/((3+1)×1)
= 1430/4
= 357.5 units
Total output = 357.5 × 3
= 1072.5 units
Under cartel, the marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost.
MR = MC = 0
1430 – 2Q = 0
Q = 1430/2
Q = 715 units
Difference= 1072.5 units - 715 units
= 357.5 units
Hence the units are 357.50 units lower in cartel compared to Cournot.

Accounts receivable $ 375,000 $ 300,000 $ __________ ___________ %
Inventory 780,000 600,000 ____________ ___________ %
Total assets 3,220,000 2,800,000 __________ __________ %
Answer:
75000,25%;
18000, 30%.
420000, 15%.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given the following parameters Accounts receivable for year 2017 = $ 375,000,
Inventory for the year 2017 = 780,000 and the Total assets for the year 2017 = 3,220,000.
Accounts receivable for year 2016 = $ 300,000, inventory for the year 2016 = 600,000 and the Total assets for the year 2016 = 2,800,000.
Therefore, we have the following simple arithmetic(which is subtraction between the variables in the two years) to determine the solution to the question:
(375,000 - 300,000) = 75,000 = 25%(increase).
(780,000 - 600,000) = 180,000 = 30%(Increase).
(3,220,000 - 2,800,00) = 420,000 = 15%(increase).
Answer:

Inventory
December 31 2017 = 780000
December 31 2016 = 600000
difference = 180000 ( 30% ) { increase}
Total assets
December 31 2017 = 3220000
December 31 2016 = 2800000
difference = 420000 ( 15% ) { increase }
g Birch Company normally produces and sells 48,000 units of RG-6 each month. The selling price is $26 per unit, variable costs are $17 per unit, fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $180,000 per month, and fixed selling costs total $40,000 per month. Employment-contract strikes in the companies that purchase the bulk of the RG-6 units have caused Birch Company’s sales to temporarily drop to only 9,000 units per month. Birch Company estimates that the strikes will last for two months, after which time sales of RG-6 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, Birch Company is thinking about closing down its own plant during the strike, which would reduce its fixed manufacturing overhead costs by $43,000 per month and its fixed selling costs by 11%. Start-up costs at the end of the shutdown period would total $13,000. Because Birch Company uses Lean Production methods, no inventories are on hand. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) if Birch closes its own plant for two months? 2. Should Birch close the plant for two months? 3. At what level of unit sales for the two-month period would Birch Company be indifferent between closing the plant or keeping it open?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
(1) Product RG-6 yields a contribution margin of $10 per unit ($20 - $10 = $10). If the plant closes, this contribution margin will be lost on the 18,000 units (9,000 units per month * 2 months) that could have been sold during the two-month period. However, the company will be able to avoid certain fixed costs as a result of closing down. The analysis is:
Amount ($) Amount ($)
Contribution margin lost by closing the
plant for two months ($10 * 18,000 units) (180,000)
Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months:
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost ($41,000 * 2 months)82,000
Fixed selling costs ($48,000 * 10% * 2months) 9,600 91,600
Net disadvantage of closing, before start-up cost (88,400)
Add start-up costs 13,000
Disadvantage of closing the plant 101,400
(2) No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 9,000 units produced and sold each month. Closing will result in a $101,400 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate.
(3)
Amount ($)
Cost avoided by closing the plant for two months 91,600
Less: start-up costs (13,000)
Net avoidable costs 78,600
Units = Net avoidable cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $78,600 / $10 = 7,860 units
Enviro Company issues 8%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $300,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 10%, which implies a selling price of 87 1/2. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 87 ½, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
1. Issuer's cash is $262,500
2. Total amount of bond interest is $277,500
3. The amount of bond interest expense is $13,875.
Explanation:
1. Issuer's cash = Face Value × Selling Price
Issuer's cash = $300,000 × 87.50%
Issuer's cash = $262,500
2. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period of bonds= 10 years
Total amount of bond interest = Discount on Bond + (Interest on Bond × period)
Total amount of bond interest = $37,500 + ($24,000 × 10)
Total amount of bond interest = $277,500
3. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period = 0.5 years
The amount of bond interest expense = (Discount of Bond ÷ 20) + Interest
The amount of bond interest expense = ($37,500 ÷ 20) + ($24,000 × 0.5)
The amount of bond interest expense = $1,875 + $12,000
The amount of bond interest expense = $13,875.

Dinklage Corp. has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $69, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 94 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $55 million, a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 106 percent of par. The first issue matures in 24 years, the second in 9 years.Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.25 and the dividend growth rate is 4.4 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 25 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
10.83%
Explanation:
The simplest way to determine the if we use the Gordon growth model for determining the company's stock price:
stock price = [dividend x (1 + growth rate)] / (WACC - growth rate)
dividend = $4.25g = 4.4%stock price = $69WACC - g = [dividend x (1 + g] / price
WACC = {[dividend x (1 + g] / price} + g
WACC = {[$4.25 x (1 + 4.4%] / $69} + 4.4% = 0.1083 or 10.83%

Answer:
7.5 to 467.5.
Explanation:
Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.
So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.
Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.
Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.
Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.
Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.
Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.
Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.
Thus, for the higher fence we have;
J3 + 1.5( 11.5).
= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).
= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).
Then, for the lower fence;
J1 - 1.5( 11.5).
= 18 - 1.5(11.5).
= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.
The SP Corporation makes 42,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.10 Direct labor $ 9.10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.75 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $25.75. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:
Answer:
annual financial advantage, $837,600
Explanation:
Analysis of the Make or Buy Decision - Making
Making Costs
Direct materials $ 10.10×42,000 424,200
Direct labor $ 9.10×42,000 382,200
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.75×42,000 157,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70×42,000 197,400
Total 1,161,300
Buying Costs
Purchase Price $25.75×42,000 1,801,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70×42,000 197,400
Total 1,998,900
It costs $837,600 more to Buy than to make.
Hence the annual financial advantage for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be $837,600.
The property appraisal district for Marin County has just installed new software to track residential market values for property tax computations. The manager wants to know the total equivalent cost of all future costs incurred when the three county judges agreed to purchase the software system. The system has an installation cost of $150,000 and an additional cost of $50,000 at year 10. The annual software maintenance cost is $5,000 for the first 4 years and $8,000 thereafter. If the new system will be used for the indefinite future, find the equivalent present value at a discount rate of 5%.
Answer:
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89
Explanation:
Equivalent annual cost = Present Value of cost / Annuity factor
Present value of cost:
PV of additional cost =50,000 ×1.05^(-10)=30,695.66
PV of maintenance cost
First four years= 5,000× (1-1.05^(-4))/0.05=17,729.75
From year 5 to infinity = (8,000/0.05)× 1.05^(-4)=131,632.39
PV of maintenance cost = 17,729.75 + 131,632.396= 149,362.14
PV of costs = 150,000 + 30,695.66 + 149,362.14= 330,057.8112
Annuity factor = 1/r = 1/0.05= 20
Equivalent annual cost = 330,057.8112 /20=$16,502.89
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89
The common stock of Leaning Tower of Pita Inc., a restaurant chain, will generate payoffs to investors next year, which depend on the state of the economy, as follows: Dividend Stock Price Boom $ 10 $ 200 Normal economy 6 90 Recession 0 0 The company goes out of business if a recession hits. Assume for simplicity that the three possible states of the economy are equally likely. The stock is selling today for $80.
a. Calculate the rate of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders for each economic state. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Rate of return Boom Normal economy Recession a-2.
b. Calculate the expected rate of return and standard deviation of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Expected return Standard deviation
Answer:
a) Boom = 162.50%
Normal =20.00%
Recession = - 100.00%
b) Expected return = 27.50%
Standard deviation = 107.30%
Explanation:
a) To find the rate of return for each economy state, let's use:
Rate of return = (Dividend +Stock price next year-stock price today)/stock price today
i) For Boom:
[tex] \frac{10 + 200 - 80}{80} = 1.625 [/tex] = 162.50%
ii) Normal:
[tex]\frac{6 + 90- 80}{80} = 0.2 [/tex] = 20.00%
iii) Recession :
[tex]\frac{0 + 0 - 80}{80} = - 1 [/tex] = -100%
b) To calculate the expected rate of return, let's use:
Expected return = Sum of expected return in different scenario / number of economy states
[tex] = \frac{162.5 + 20 - 100}{3} = 27.50[/tex]
Standard deviation:
To find the standard deviation, let's use:
Standard deviation = √[(sum of square of expected return in each scenario -average return)/n]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(162.50-27.50)^2+(20-27.50)^2+(-100-27.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(135)^2 + (-7.50)^2 + (-127.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{18225+56.25+16256.25}{3} [/tex]
= 107.30%
Standard deviation = 107.30%

You are given the following information about 2 accounts: Account 1 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.25 110 X 0.75 120 3X 1 82 Account 2 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.5 120 2X 1 140 You are also told that the dollar weighted return over the year on account 1 is i. If the time weighted return over the year on account 2 is also i, what are X and i
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
For account 1:
Dollar weighted investment = 100 for entire year + X for three fourth of the year - 3X for one fourth of the year = 100 + 3X/4 - 3X/4 = 100
Dollar return = Closing balance - opening balance - (Total deposit - total withdrawal) = 82 - 100 - (X - 3X) = 2X - 18
Hence, dollar weighted return = i = Dollar return / Dollar weighted investment = (2X - 18) / 100
Or, 100i = 2X - 18 Or, 50i = X - 9
For account 2:
Time weighted return: It has two components:
100 growing to 120 in 0.5 year
Immediately after deposit of 2X, the capital becomes 120 + 2X that grows to become 140 in the next 0.5 year
Hence time weighted return = 1 + i = 120 / 100 x 140 / (120 + 2X) = 168 / (120 + 2X) = 84 / (60 + X)
From the first equation, i = (X - 9) / 50
Hence, from second equation, 1 + i = 1 + (X - 9) / 50 = (41 + X) / 50 = 84 / (60 + X)
Hence, (60 + X).(41 + X) = 50 x 84
Hence, X2 + 101X + 2,460 = 4,200
Or, X2 + 101X - 1,740 = 0
It's a quadratic equation that can be factorized as:
(X - 15).(X + 116) = 0
Hence, X = 15
Hence, i = (X - 9) / 50 = (15 - 9) / 50 = 0.12 = 12%
Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon sequesters for $120,000 apiece. The sequesters last for only 1 year before becoming saturated. Then the carbon is sold to the government. a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $140,400 for sure. How would you determine the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? b-1. Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters’ CFO learns that average rates of return from investments on that exchange have been about 22%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case? b-2. If the expected return on the investment is still 17%, but instead depends on the price of carbon (so that it is no longer risk-free), then is the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm?
Answer:
(a) 17% (b) the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.
Explanation:
Solution:
(a) Calculate the opportunity cost of capital
Opportunity cost of capital = pay off at one year/Current investment
= $140,400-$120,000/$120,000
=20,400/120,000 = 0.17 or 17%
What it means is that, the project offers a guarantee of 17% return. it should be accepted unless another project offers a higher return of over 17%
(b) The opportunity cost of capital, if the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange which is simply the average rate of return of investment.
Therefore the opportunity cost per capital in this case is 22%
The purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.

The selling price of imported olive oil is $20 per case. Your cost is 15 Euros per case, and the exchange rate is currently 1.25, so it takes 1.25 Euros to buy $1. Your largest customer has ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. How much is the pretax profit for this transaction?
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
According to the question, the selling price (S.P) i.e. amount to be sold, of one imported olive oil case is $20 while the cost price (C.P) i.e. amount it was purchased, is €15
Looking at the currencies of both prices, they are different. To make the currencies the same, we need to convert euros (€) to dollars ($).
Based on the exchange rate of €1.25 to $1 given in the question;
€15 will be 15/1.25 = $12.
Therefore, the C.P is $12 and the S.P is $20
A customer ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. This means that the;
1) The cost price (C.P) will be $12 × 15,000 = $180,000
2) The selling price will be $20 × 15,000 = $300,000
In order to obtain the pretax profit, we subtract the cost price (C.P) from the selling price (S.P). That is, $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000
Prepare the following journal entries in proper journal entry form. 1. Billed a customer for a $2,400 job. 2. Received $4,800 to start an eight-month job, beginning next month. 3. Started a company by contributing equipment worth $5,400, land worth $180,000 and cash of $30,000 into a business checking account.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Accounts receivable Dr, $2,400
To Service revenue $2,400
(Being services revenue is recorded)
Here we debited the accounts receivable as it increased the assets and we credited the service revenue as it increased the revenue
2. Cash Dr, $4,800
To Unearned revenue $4,800
(Being unearned revenue is recorded)
Here we debited the cash as it increased the assets and we credited the unearned revenue as it increased the liabilities
3. Equipment Dr, $5,400
Land Dr, $180,000
Cash Dr, $30,000
To Capital $215,400
(Being assets investment is recorded)
Here we debited the equipment, land and cash as it increased the assets and we credited the capital as it increased the liabilities
Equipment with a book value of $78,000 and an original cost of $168,000 was sold at a loss of $31,000. Paid $106,000 cash for a new truck. Sold land costing $315,000 for $420,000 cash, yielding a gain of $105,000. Long-term investments in stock were sold for $90,000 cash, yielding a gain of $15,500. Use the above information to determine this company's cash flows from investing activities. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
$451,000
Explanation:
The computation of cash flows from investing activities is shown below:-
Sale of equipment $47,000
($78,000 - $31,000)
Purchase of new truck ($106,000)
Sale of land $420,000
Sale of Long-term investments $90,000
Net cash provided by investing activities $451,000
Therefore to reach the cash flows from investing activities we simply added the sale of equipment, sale of land, sale of long term investments and deduct the purchase of new truck.
A law firm received $1600 cash for legal services to be rendered in the future. The full amount was credited to the liability account Unearned Service Revenue. If the legal services have been rendered at the end of the accounting period and no adjusting entry is made, this would cause:
Answer and Explanation:
In the first situation, the journal entry is
Cash Dr $1,600
To Unearned revenue $1,600
(Being the unearned revenue is recorded)
For this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the unearned revenue as it also increased the liabilities
The adjusting entry is
Unearned Service Revenue XXXXX
To Service Revenue XXXXX
(Being the adjusting entry is recorded)
If this entry is not recorded than it would leads to understated of revenue and overstated of liabilities

1. Cash $72,000
To common stock (3,000 shares × $20) $60,000
To Additional capital paid $12,000
(Being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the cash and credited the other two accounts as it increased the stockholder equity
2. Organisation expense Dr $22,000
To common stock (1,500 shares × $1) $1,500
To Additional capital paid $20,500
(Being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the expense as it increased the expense and credited the other two accounts as it increased the stockholder equity
3. Organisation expense $22,000
To common stock $22,000
(Being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the expense as it increased the expense and credited the common stock as it increased the stockholder equity
4. Cash $97,000
To preferred stock (750 shares × $100) $75,000
To Additional capital paid $22,000
(Being the issuance of the preferred stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the cash and credited the other two accounts as it increased the stockholder equity
Misty and John formed the MJ Partnership. Misty contributed $50,000 of cash in exchange for her 50% interest in the partnership capital and profits. During the first year of partnership operations, the following events occurred: the partnership had a net taxable income of $20,000; Misty received a distribution of $12,000 cash from the partnership; and Misty had a 50% share in the partnership's $60,000 of recourse liabilities on the last day of the partnership year. Misty's adjusted basis for her partnership interest at year end is:
Answer:
$78,000
Explanation:
The computation of interest at year end is shown below:-
Interest at year end = Cash contribution + Income of partnership + Share of partnership liabilities - Cash from the partnership
= $50,000 + $20,000 × 50% + $60,000 × 50% - $12,000
= $90,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 - $12,000
= $78,000
Therefore for computing the partnership interest at year end we simply applied the above formula by considering all the items given in the question
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $74,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $19,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $9,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $31,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine
Answer:
$7,400 per year
Explanation:
Data provided for computing the annual depreciation expense is here below:-
Automated bottling machine = $74,000
Useful life = 10 years
The calculation of annual depreciation expense is given below:-
Annual depreciation expense = Automated bottling machine ÷ Useful life
= $74,000 ÷ 10
= $7,400 per year
Therefore for computing the annual depreciation expense we simply divide the automated bottling machine by useful life.
