Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.

= $1,061,760 / 16,800 grams = $63.20 per gram

2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.

direct materials price variance = (AP - SP) x AQ = ($63.20 - $63.30) x 16,300 = -$1,630 favorable variance

3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.

direct materials quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $63.30 x (16,300 - 16,000) = $18,990 unfavorable variance

4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?

The FAVORABLE direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. As a result, the company USED MORE ALLOW THAN STANDARD  quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the UNFAVORABLE quantity (efficiency) variance.

2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders

Answers

Answer:  $1,700

Explanation:

The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.

Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.

Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.

Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)

= 750 + 950

= $1,700

Yan Yan Corp. has a $3,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.2 percent paid semiannually and 25 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.8 percent. What is the price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

$3,173.63

Explanation:

For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Future value = $3,000

Rate of interest = 4.8% ÷ 2 = 2.4%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

PMT = $3,000 × 5.2% ÷ 2  = $78

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $3,713.63

The price variance for the direct material acquired by Jackson Industries during May is:

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80

Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5

Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

2015        $294,000                  35%                       $102,900

2016         332,000                    30%                        99,600

2017          399,000                    30%                       119,700

In 2018, Indigo suffered a net operating loss of $487,000, which it elected to carry back. The 2018 enacted tax rate is 26%.

The objective is to prepare the Indigo's entry to record the effect of the loss carryback.

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = Taxable income(2018) × Tax rate(2018) + ( net operating loss - Taxable income(2018) )  × Tax rate(2018)

(332000 × 30%)+(476000-332000) × 30%

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable =  (332000 × 0.30)+(476000-332000) × 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 144000× 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 43200

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 142800

Therefore, Indigo Corporation ENtry can be prepared as follows:

Answers

Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market

Explanation:

Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.

It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.

Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.

Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond   = $770.60

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Heather Smith  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40

Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)  = (2 ×10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06)  = 458.796

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20)  = 311.80

Step 3 :Price of bond  

= 458.796  + 311.80 = 770.60

Price of bond   = $770.60

Complete Question:

Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.

a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.

b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%

c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?

Answer:

Alpha Company

a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:

= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares =  (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares

With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:

= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares

= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000

= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000

cross-multiplying:

EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000

dividing by 200,000:

EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000

EBIT = $320,000

b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:

= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares =  (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares

= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000

= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000

cross-multiplying:

= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000

EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000

= $224,000

c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same.  When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Alternative 1: All Equity:

No. of shares = 400,000

Value of shares = $4,000,000

Debt = $0

Interest on Debt = $0

Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:

No. of shares = 200,000

Value of shares = $2,000,000

Debt = $2,000,000

Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000

b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2.  This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.

MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?

Answers

Answer: D) Projects A and C

Explanation:

The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.

Cost of Equity

= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)

= 17.6%

After tax cost of debt

= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)

= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)

= 7%

WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)

= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)

= 4.2% + 7.04%

= 11.24%

Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.

Explanation:

Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.

Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.

Booher Book Stores has a beta of 1.0. The yield on a 3-month T-bill is 3% and the yield on a 10-year T-bond is 6%. The market risk premium is 4.5%, and the return on an average stock in the market last year was 10.5%. What is the estimated cost of common equity using the CAPM

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity =  10.5%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

Rf-risk-free rate (long-term i.e 10 year treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market., Ke- Return on equity (cost of equity)

This model can be used to work out the cost of equity as follows:

Ke= Rf + β (Rm-Rf)

Rf- 6%, β= 1.0, Rm- 10.5, E(r)- ?

Ke = 6% + 1.0× (10.5 -6)% = 10.5%

Ke  = 10.5%

Cost of equity =  10.5%

Workings:

w.1: Bond payable = Cash - Premium on Bonds Payable = $111,671 - $8,271

w.2: Premium on Bonds Payable = January 1 Unamortized Premium - June 30 Unamortized Premium = $8,271 - $7,444 = $827

w.3: Cash = $108,000 * 8% * (6 / 12) = $4,320

w.4: Interest expense = w.3 - w.2 = $4,320 - $827 = $3.493

w.5: Premium on Bonds Payable = June 30 1 Unamortized Premium - December 31 Unamortized Premium = $7,444 - $6,617 = $827

w.6: Cash = $108,000 * 8% * (6 / 12) = $4,320

w.7: Interest expense = w.6 - w.5 = $4,320 - $827 = $3,493

Answers

Answer:

Trend- % change in sales =  34.64%

Explanation:

Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.

To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below

% Change in variable =

(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100

DATA

Current year figure  for sales (2017) - 450,000

Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500

% change in sales =   (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%

% change in sales =  34.64%

This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016

What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?

Answers

Answer:

The present value = $3,602.30

Explanation:

To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:

[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]

where:

FV = Future value = $4,500

PV = Present value = ??

r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2

t = time = 5

[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]

Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30

Which of the following is NOT one of the four levels of culture? A. Profit B. artifacts C. espoused values D. enacted values

Answers

Answer:

A. Profit

Explanation:

Culture is the shared characteristics and knowledge of a group of people that affects different aspects of their lives like language, religion, social traits, arts, and music.

Levels of culture are:

- Artefacts: these are physical manifestation of a culture like dress code, office allocation, awards, and ceremonies.

- Assumptions: are unconscious alignment with expected behaviour.

- Espoused value: these are stated values to be adhered to

- Enacted values: behaviours that are exhibited as a guide to others in a group

Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.

A service company has which of the following costs

a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred

Answers

Answer:

b. Overhead Costs

d. Expensed in the period incurred

Explanation:

-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.

-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.

-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.

-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.

According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.

On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

6                              $11.45               $28.61568

growth rate up to year 5 = 20%

ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%

dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%

cost of equity = 15%

horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83

current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88

intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11

The estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share is $94.88. Also, in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks will increase to $109.11.

Based on the information given, the dividend and the earnings per share are given below:

Growth rate up to year 5 = 20%ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%Cost of equity = 15%

Therefore, the dividend growth rate starting year 6 will be:

= 15% x (1 - 40%)

= 15% × 60%

= 9%

Therefore, the horizon value at year 5 will be:

= $11.45 / (15% - 9%)

= $11.45 / 6%

= $190.83

Then, the current intrinsic value per stock will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁵

= $94.88

The intrinsic price in 1 year will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁴

A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?

Answers

Answer:

24.82%

Explanation:

Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations

Let x = the stock return for year 5

12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47%  −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5

Multiply both sides by 5

63.55% =  (5.51% + 22.47%  −8.68% + 9.43 + x)

63.55% = 38.73% + x

x =  63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
