A company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: What portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is a possible match of the complete question:

a company purchased property for a building site. the costs associated with the property were:

purchase price $175,00

real estate commisions $15,000

legal fees 800

expenses of clearing the land 2,000

expenses to remove old building 1,000

what portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?

Answer:

cost allocated to land = $193,800

cost allocated to new building = $0

Explanation:

The expenses associated with the ost of land purchase are all the necessary expenses made in the purchase of the land and in getting the land ready for use. These include legal fees, cost of clearing the land, cost of removing old structures etc. Therefore cost allocated to land is calculated as follows:

cost of land = purchase price + real estate commissions + legal fees + expenses of clearing the land + expenses to remove old building.

cost of land = 175,000 + 15,000 + 800 + 2,000 + 1,000 = $193,800

∴ cost of land = $193,800

cost of new building = $0

There is no transaction associated directly with setting up the new building, all the costs were associated with the acquisition of the land, hence the cost os the new building is $0

The estimated inventory at June 30, 2021, would be:

Answers

Answer: $68,200

Explanation:

Estimated inventory = Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made * Cost Retail Ratio

Retail value of Goods Available for Sale

= Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail price of Purchases

= 120,000 + 480,000

= $600,000

Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made

= 600,000 - 490,000

= $110,000

Cost to retail price ratio

= (Cost of Beginning Inventory + Cost of Purchases) / (Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail Price of Purchases)

= (60,000 + 312,000) / (120,000 + 480,000)

= 62%

Ending inventory

= 110,000 × 62%

= $68,200

Explanation:

Every organization has a set of unwritten norms that members of the organization accept and understand and which guide their actions. This system of shared meaning is organization's culture.

An organizational culture typically comprises of values, norms, beliefs and assumptions which defines the most appropriate ways of behaving in an organization (work environment).

Generally, an organizational culture is usually designed and established by the top executives or management of an organization and communicated to the various employees working there.

According to Robert Quinn and Kim Cameron, an organizational culture can be divided into four (4) main categories;

1. Adhocracy culture.

2. Clan culture.

3. Hierarchy culture.

4. Market culture.

Additionally, the significance of an organizational culture is simply that it creates a unique social, efficient and psychological environment of an organization.

c. Quick Ratio for the current year = 0.98

d. Quick Ratio for the preceding year = 0.76

e. Working Capital for the current year = $3,231

f. Working Capital for the preceding year = –$513

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we first state the following formula to be used before answering the question:

Current asset = Cash and cash equivalents + Short-term investments, at cost + Accounts and notes receivable, net + Inventories + Prepaid expenses and other current assets ................... (1)

Current liabilities = Short-term obligations + Accounts payable ................. (2)

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ............................ (3)

Quick Ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) / Current liabilities ............... (4)

Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities ........................... (5)

We now calculate the answers as follows:

a. What is the Current Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the current year (in millions) = $8,297 + $422 + $7,041 + $3,581 + $1,479 = $20,820

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the current year (in millions) = $4,815 + $12,774 = $17,589

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the current year = $20,820 / $17,589 = 1.18

b. What is the Current Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the preceding year (in millions) = $4,067 + $458 + $6,912 + $3,827 + $2,377 = $17,641

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the preceding year (in millions) = $6,205 + $11,949 = $18,154

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the preceding year = $17,641 / 18,154 = 0.97

c. What is the Quick Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part a, we have:

Quick Ratio for the current year = ($20,820 -  3,581) / $17,589 = 0.98

d. What is the Quick Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part b, we have:

Quick Ratio for the preceding year = ($17,641 - 3,827) / $18,154 = 0.76

e. What is the Working Capital for the current year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part a, we have:

Working Capital for the current year = $20,820 -  $17,589 =$3,231

f. What is the Working Capital for the preceding year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part b, we have:

Working Capital for the preceding year = $17,641 - $18,154 = –$513

Suppose a shortage in materials results in decrease in the supply of golf balls in the United States of 5%. If the elasticity of demand of golf balls sold in the US is -0.8, the new equilibrium price will be

Answers

Answer:

price elasticity of supply (PES) = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price

PES = -0.8% change in quantity supplied = -5%

-5% = -0.8 / % change in price

% change in price = -0.8 / -5% = 16%

we are not given the initial price of the golf balls and I looked for similar questions but couldn't find any. But assuming that the initial price is $1, then the new price = $1 x (1 + 16%) = $1.16. If the initial price was $2, then new price = $2 x (1 + 16%) = $2.32. And son on.

Crane Corporation has 2,000 shares of stock outstanding. It redeems 500 shares for $370,000 when it has paid-in capital of $300,000 and E & P of $1,200,000. The redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder. Crane incurred $13,000 of accounting and legal fees in connection with the redemption transaction and $18,500 of interest expense on debt incurred to finance the redemption. What is the effect of the distribution on Crane Corporation's E & P? Also, what is the proper tax treatment of the redemption expenditures?

Answers

Answer:

E&P $1,200,000 × 25%= $300,000 reduction

Crane Corporation would reduce its E & P in the amount of $300,000 as a result of the redemption.

This represents a 25% decrease in the amount of the E & P corresponding to the 25% stock redemption.

When a stock redemption results in sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder, the E & P account of a corporation is reduced in an amount not in excess of the ratable share of the E & P of the distributing corporation attributable to the stock redeemed.

As such, none of the expense of $13,000 of accounting and legal fees or other is deductible.

Suppose Hyperpolis’s GDP increases by 15% and its inflation rate is 12%, while Superpolis’s GDP increases by 6% and its inflation rate is 3%. Assuming the population in both countries remained constant, which economy grew faster?

Answers

Answer: c) Both economies grew at the same rate

Explanation:

The faster growing economy would be the one that saw a greater increase in Real GDP than the other.

Real GDP growth = Nominal GDP growth - Inflation growth.

Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 15% - 12%

Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 3%

Superpolis Real GDP growth = 6% - 3%

Superpolis Real GDP growth = 3%

Both countries grew at the same rate of 3%.

Draiman Guitars is offering 110,000 shares of stock in an IPO by a general cash offer. The offer price is $39 per share and the underwriter's spread is 8 percent. The administrative costs are $350,000. What are the net proceeds to the company?

Answers

Answer:

$3,596,800

Explanation:

The computation of net proceeds to the company is shown below:-

Net proceeds = Number of shares of stock × Offer price × (1 - Underwriter spread percent) - Administrative cost

= 110,000 × $39 × (1- 0.08) - $350,000

= 110,000 × $39 × 0.92 - $350,000

= $3,946,800 - $350,000

= $3,596,800

So, for determining the net proceeds we simply applied the above formula.

Why must corporate managers use multiple techniques of project evaluation? Which technique is most commonly used and why? Describe several ways you may be able to use the techniques above as you progress in your professional career.

Answers

Answer:

The most important technique for project evaluation is the net present value (NPV) which compares the present value of discounted cash flows against the  initial costs associated with the project. The other two most important techniques used are the payback period (either regular or discounted) and the internal rate of return (IRR).

Depending on the company's needs, sometimes one technique might be used instead of others. E.g. technological firms generally use the payback period because most of their projects have a very short life, 1 or 2 years. Other times, you might have to compare different projects and even if they are not mutually exclusive, no company can dispose of money freely. It only invests in certain projects that have a minimum required rate of return.

But the basic technique, the NPV, is the most relevant in a sense that no project with a negative NPV should be accepted.

"The technique which identifies the time period required to recover the cost of the investment is called the" ________________ method.

Answers

Answer:

Cash payback method

Explanation:

Cash payback technique is a method used by financial experts to analyse capital projects to see which ones they can invest in and which one to avoid.

This method is used to estimate the time it will take for a project to recoup the original cost of investment. It estimated when a business will payoff initial cost and start giving the investor profit.

Cash payback is easy to calculate

Cash payback = (Initial investment) ÷ (Estimated cash inflows each year)

Shorter cash payback is favourable as the investor gets back initial cost in a shorter period.

Group of answer choices $1.63/BP $1.57/BP $1.60/BP $1.66/BP $1.70/BP

Answers

Answer:

$1.57/BP

Explanation:

Calculation for the futures price of the pound for a one-year contract.

Using this formula

Futures price =Spot exchange rate×(1+Risk-free rates in United States/1+Risk-free rates in United Kingdom

(1) You go to Seven-11 and see the price of a super Slurpee quoted as $1.39. (2) You buy the super Slurpee and pay with $1.39 in cash. In the first instance money serves as ___________, while in the second instance money serves as ___________.

Answers

Answer:

In the first instance money serves as Measure of Value, while in the second instance money serves as Medium of Exchange.

Explanation:

The measure of value and medium of exchange are two of the functions of money which are explained as follows:

a) Measure of Value

The function of money as a measure of value permits all goods and services to be attached prices. That is, every commodity is valued in terms of money. Therefore, money gives the opportunity to compare values of goods and services. Measure of value is also referred to as a unit of value.

From the question, the function of money as a measure of value is what permits Seven-11 to quote a super Slurpee as $1.39.

b) Medium of exchange

The function of money as a medium of exchange provides the opportunity use money as an intermediary instrument in order to ensure goods and services purchased, sold or traded between parties at a standard value. This is different from what obtained under the trade by barter in which commodities had to be exchanged for commodities without any standard value.

From the question, the function of money as a medium of exchange allows an amount of $1.39 which is a standard value was exchanged for the super Slurpee.

Answer:

(1) Unit of Account

(2) Medium of Exchange

Explanation:

(1) A unit of account is the measure in which prices are quoted. Thus, when the price of the super Slurpee is quoted in dollars, money functions as a unit of account.

(2) A medium of exchange is what people trade for goods and services. Thus, when you buy the super Slurpee, you are offering the $1.39 in exchange for the super Slurpee. Money here serves as a medium of exchange.

Year 5 12439.11 2500 1000.92 15940.03

After making deposits in a bank account as stated in the conditions given above, it can be inferred that an amount of approximately $15,940 will be available in the account after the end of 5 years.

What is the significance of deposits?

Deposits can be referred to or considered as such engagement of monies with any commercial bank that also provides a predetermined rate of interest to the customers making such deposit. Interest acts like a return on investment in this case.

The above condition is a case of making recurring deposits at regular intervals. Upon satisfying the conditions given above, the amount of monies in the account can be computed as below,

At the end of year 1, the Total deposit after interest earned will be

3000 + 6.70% = $3,201.

At the end of two years,

(3201 + 2500) + 6.70% = $6,083.

At the end of three years,

(6083 + 2500) + 6.70% = $9,158.

At the end of four years,

(9158 + 2500) + 6.70% = $12439.

At the end of five years,

(12439 + 2500) + 6.70% = $15,940.

Thus, it can be concluded that at the end of five years the deposits made after earning the interest will be $15,940.

Answers

Answer:

The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options:

tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established.

Explanation:

The argument for the infant industry protectionism suggests that the imposition of tariffs on imports gives a new industry in the country the required breathing space it requires to develop, grow, and be established before it can face competitive forces from outside, which imports imply.  Since newly formed industries often do not command the economies of scale and learning experience that their competitors from other countries may have, therefore, they need to be singularly shaded from external competition until they have achieved similar economies of scale and learning curve.  But, can they attain any competitive edge without learning from competitors?

The company’s tax rate is 40 percent.Required:a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?b. What is the company’s total market value of debt? c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this ________________gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should ______________________.

Answers

Answer: d. inflationary; decrease government purchases or increase taxes

Explanation:

Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this inflationary gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should decrease government purchases or increase taxes.

The Real GDP is greater than the Natural real GDP which is the potential GDP. When that happens the Economy is said to be overheated and producing above its limits as Aggregate Demand is above Aggregate Supply.

To combat this the Government according to Keynes should embark on policy that will reduce economic activity. The Government can use Contractionary Fiscal Policy that will see it reduce its spending and/or increase taxes. Both of these will have the effect of reducing the amount of money in the economy left for both investment and consumption and cause a fall in the Aggregate Demand.

What is Oligopoly?

A market structure known as an oligopoly has a limited number of enterprises, none of which can prevent the others from having a large impact. The market share of the major companies is calculated using the concentration ratio.

A market with a monopoly has only one producer, a duopoly has two businesses, and an oligopoly has three or more businesses. The maximum number of firms in an oligopoly is unknown, but it must be low enough so that each firm's actions have a significant impact on the others.

In the past, oligopolies have existed in the steel industry, the oil industry, the railroad industry, the tire industry, grocery store chains, and the wireless industry. An oligopoly can prevent new competitors from entering the market, stifle innovation, and raise prices, all of which are detrimental to consumers.

Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $350 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $315,000, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $245 per 100 yards of XT rope.
Required:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.
3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.

3. contribution margin income statement

Sales  ($350 × 7,000 units)                            $2,450,000

Less Variable Cost  ($245 × 7,000 units))     ($1,715,000)

Contribution                                                       $735,000

Less Fixed Costs                                              ( $315,000)

Operating Profit                                                 $420,000

Explanation:

Break-even point (sales units ) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                                   = $315,000 ÷ ($350 - $245)

                                                   = 3,000

Break-even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                     = $315,000 ÷ ($105/$350)

                                                     = $1,050,000
