Last year Ace charged $1,469,867 Depreciation on the Income Statement of Andrews. If early this year Ace purchased a new depreciable asset, the effect on Andrews's financial statements would be (all other items remaining equal):
Answer:
Increase Net Cash from operations
Explanation:
Note that the purchase of another depreciable asset means that annual depreciation expense would increase( increase on the old asset which is $1,469,867 plus the depreciation on newly acquired asset), hence, assuming that net income remains the same as last year(the meaning of all other items remaining equal), when the amount of increased depreciation is added back to the net income in the cash flow statement, the amount of net cash flow from operations would increase compared to last year.
In essence, the correct option in this case is that there would be an increase in net cash from operations not just an increase in amount of asset in the balance sheet

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5 percent a year forever.
a. If you want a return of 15 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
b. If you want a return of 8 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
Answer:
a.
$27.27
b.
$75
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock
Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )
a.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 15%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 15% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 11%
Value of Stock = $27.27
b.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 8%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 8% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 4%
Value of Stock = $75

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7.3 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has 4 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 23 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds
Answer:
Use a financial calculator to find out the price of both bonds after the drop in interest rate.
Laurel Bond
When a bond is trading at par, it means that the interest rate is equal to the coupon rate.
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 4 * 2 = 8 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price will come out as $993.20
Percentage change = (993.20 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -0.68%
Hardy Bond
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 23 * 2 = 46 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price = $811.53
Percentage change = (811.53 - 1,000) / 1,000
= -18.85%
Solve for the missing amounts using a T-account for the balance sheet accounts in each situation. Assume that there is only one debit entry and one credit entry in the account during the month. Required: a. The Supplies account had a balance of $1,250 at the beginning of the month and $1,700 at the end of the month. The cost of supplies purchased during the month was $4,000. Calculate the cost of supplies used during the month.
Answer:
$3,550
Explanation:
Supplies used = Opening supplies + Purchases of Supplies - Ending Supplies
therefore,
Supplies used = $1,250 + $4,000 - $1,700
= $3,550
thus,
The cost of supplies used during the month is $3,550.
Gerry works 40 hours a week managing Gerry’s Market, without drawing a salary. He could earn $600 a week doing the same work for Jean. Gerry’s Market owes its bank $100,000, and Gerry has invested $100,000 of his own money. If Gerry’s accounting profits are $1,000 per week while the interest on his bank debt is $200 per week, his economic profits are:
Answer:
The correct response is "$395 per week".
Explanation:
Given:
Salary forgone,
= $600
Dividend forgone,
= $5
Accounting profit,
= $1,000
Now,
The implicit cost will be:
= [tex]Salary \ forgone+Dividend \ forgone[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
= [tex]600+5[/tex]
= [tex]605[/tex] ($) per week
hence,
The economic profit will be:
= [tex]Accounting \ profit-Implicit \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]1000-605[/tex]
= [tex]395[/tex] ($) per week
A local distributor for a national tire company expects to sell approximately 9,530 tires of a certain size and tread design next year. Annual carrying cost is $14 per tire and ordering cost is $72. The distributor operates 286 days a year. a. What is the EOQ
Answer:
the economic order quantity is 313 units
Explanation:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= sqrt( 2 ×annual demand × ordering cost) (carrying cost)
= sqrt(2 × 95,30 × $72) ÷ $14
= 313 units
hence, the economic order quantity is 313 units
The same should be considered and relevant

Suppose you invest every quarter, for 20 years, in an annuity that pays 5% interest, compounded quarterly. At the end of the 20 years, you have $100,000. How much of this total is interest
Answer: $41,228
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the amount that was being invested, in other words, the annuity.
First find the future value of annuity factor:
= 1 * Future value of annuity formula
= 1 * ( ( 1 + rate)^ number of periods) - 1) / rate
Rate = 5% / 4 = 1.25%
Number of periods = 20 * 4 quarters = 80 quarters
Annuity factor = 1 * ( ( 1 + 1.25%) ⁸⁰ - 1) / 1.25%
= 136.118795
The annuity is:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * Future value of annuity factor, 80 years, 1.25%
100,000 = Annuity * 136.118795
Annuity = 100,000 / 136.118795
= $734.65
The interest is:
= Future value of annuity - (Annuity * number of periods)
= 100,000 - (734.65 * 80)
= $41,228

The Omega started the year with $650,000 in the common stock account and $1,318,407 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The end-of-year balance sheet showed $720,000 and $1,299,310 in the same two accounts, respectively. What is the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends
Answer:
$17,597
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cash flow to stockholders
Using this formula
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Common stock issued
Let plug in the formula
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (1299,310+ 720,000)- (1318407+ 650000)
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (2,019,310-1,968,407)
Cash flow to stockholders= 68,500-50,903
Cash flow to stockholders= $17,597
Therefore the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends is $17,597

An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?
Answer:
d
the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.
As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease
As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase
Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate
Beginning three months from now, you want to be able to withdraw $2,700 each quarter from your bank account to cover college expenses over the next four years. If the account pays .67 percent interest per quarter, how m
Answer:
PV= $40,835.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Quarterly withdrawal (A)= $2,700
Number of periods= 4*4= 16 quarters
Interest rate= 0.67% per quarter
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 2,700*{(1/0.0067) - 1 / [0.0067*(1.0067)^16]
PV= $40,835.6

What is the maximum price that Tango should pay for Delta
Complete question: Tax rate is 35%
Answer:
3250000
Explanation:
Tax income = 300000
Tax rate = 35%
Growth = 2%
Risk free rate = 4%
Expected market return= 9%
Beta = 0.8
We solve for the expected return on assets
= 4% + (9%-4%)x0.8
= 0.04+0.05*0.8
= 0.04 + 0.04
= 0.08
= 8% return on assets
The maximum price to pay
300000*(1-0.35)/(8%-2%)
= 300000 * 0.65/0.06
= 300000x10.8333333333
= 3,250,000
