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 Jones Company has just completed the third year of a five-year MACRS recovery period for a piece of equipment it originally purchased for $302,000. a. What is the book value of the equipment? b. If Jones sells the equipment today for $184,000 and its tax rate is 35%, what is the after-tax cash flow from selling it? c. Just before it is about to sell the equipment, Jones receives a new order. It can take the new order if it keeps the old equipment. Is there a cost to taking the order and if so, what is it? Explain. (Assume the new order will consume the remainder of the machine's useful life.) Note: Assume that the equipment is put into use in year 1.

The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production __________________
Answer: cost ratio
Explanation: The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production cost ratio. The production cost ratio allows small-scale manufacturers to determine their cost more accurately as well as control known cost parameters and is a method that can be adapted and applied to any business.
In a multi-product manufacturing firm, the production cost ratio is necessary for accurate compilation and allocation of production costs to each category of product especially when both the Production Time and the Production Runs are not the same and/or when fixed labor, overhead and other costs are drawn from the same pool. When the ratio is not applied results in a skewed allocation of production costs. This in turn can affect the business as it becomes difficult to ascertain the products whose production are more profitable to the business.
How much interest is earned in just the third year on a $1,000 deposit that earns 7% interest compounded annually?
Answer:
Interest earn= $80.14
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= $1,000
i= 7%
n= 3
First, we will calculate the future value at the second year:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 1,000*(1.07^2)
FV= 1,144.9
Now, for the third year:
FV= 1,144.9*1.07= 1,225.04
Interest earn= 1,225.04 - 1,144.9= $80.14
The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of $12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be $1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndt’s federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndt’s expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndt’s depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndt’s depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why? Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 93). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
a) Berndt Corporation
Income Statement
Sales revenue $12,000,000
All cost other than depreciation ($9,000,000)
Depreciation expense ($1,500,000)
EBIT $1,500,000
Income taxes ($600,000)
Net income $900,000
net cash flow = $900,000 + $1,500,000 = $2,400,000
b) if depreciation doubles, net profit will decrease to $0, but net cash flows will increase to $3,000,000
c) if depreciation decreases by 50%, net profit will increase to $1,350,000, but net cash flows will decrease to $2,100,000
d) Once a company is operating, its value is generally calculated based on its cash flows, therefore, I would select the option that increases the company's net cash flows (Congress doubles depreciation expense).
There is strong evidence that many investors suffer from familiarity bias and overconfidence bias. Can you explain why these biases might exist
Answer:
The bias of most investors suffering from familiarity or overconfidence bias can be attributed to human factor of being comfortable with what the person knows. For example, Investor A knows the owner of Company B, he or she would be comfortable to invest in Company B because he or she is familiarize with the owner or the company.
On the other-hand, when an investor reviews the businesses that he or she has invested in that are doing well, the individual will become overconfident in his or her ability to know and find good prospects to invest. The investor will become laid back in doing his investigation before investing in subsequent businesses.
Explanation:
Green Inc. made no adjusting entry for accrued and unpaid employee wages of $38,000 on December 31. This error would Multiple Choice Understate assets by $38,000. Overstate net income by $38,000. Understate net income by $38,000. Have no effect on net income.
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.
According to the producer price index database maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost of computer equipment fell 3.8 percent between January and December 2016. Let's see whether these changes are reflected in the income statement of Computer Tycoon Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Cost of Goods Sold 64,500 75,100
Gross Profit 44,500 58,400
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses 36,900 38,800
Interest Expense 590 520
Income before Income Tax Expense 7,010 19,080
Income Tax Expense 1,500 5,900
Net Income $ 5,510 $ 13,180
Required:
1. Compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Times Interest Earned 2015 2016
2. Does Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both years before taxes and interest) to cover the cost of debt financing?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer:
A.
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
B. Yes
Explanation:
Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015
First step is to find the EBIT
EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $
Gross profit 44,500 58,400
Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)
EBIT 7,600 19,600
Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula
Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
Time interest earned 2016 2015
EBIT $7,600 $19,600
÷Interest expense $590 $520
=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7
Therefore the Time interest earned will be :
2015 37.7
2016 12.9
2. Yes Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both 2015 and 2016 before taxes and interest in order to cover the cost of debt financing.
Schuepfer Inc. bases its selling and administrative expense budget on budgeted unit sales. The sales budget shows 2,600 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense is $3.10 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $35,760 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,100 per month. The remainder of the fixed selling and administrative expense represents current cash flows. The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget should be:________.a. $40,210.b. $44,410.c. $31,570.
Answer:
$39,720
Explanation:
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $35,760 - $4,100
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $31,660
Variable costs = 2,600 units * $3.10
Variable costs = $8,060
The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget will be
= $31,660 + $8,060
= $39,720

Systemic barriers to change occur because of conflicts between departments, conflicts arising from power relationships, and refusal to share information.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This statement is true, as systemic barriers can occur in an organization whose information flow does not occur efficiently and effectively, which causes information noises that prevent departments or teams from receiving organizational information.
This barrier can be eliminated by establishing a more direct and integrated communication with all organizational sectors, in the form of announcements, murals, e-mail, etc.
Another way to solve this problem is by analyzing the design of the organizational structure and making adjustments if it is found that there are flaws that prevent the flow of information to flow normally.
What is the difference between an optimistic approach and a pessimistic approach to decision making under assumed uncertainty
Answer:
The optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the best' while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the worst'.
Explanation:
Decision making under assumed uncertainty is an approach that is taken when the outcomes of future events are not entirely known. The Hurwicz criterion provides a basis on which the pessimistic and optimistic outcomes can be balanced. This criterion allows the person who makes the decision to chose a coefficient of pessimism signified by alpha (α) and it is a decimal that is graded between 0 and 1. This number signifies the worst possible outcome whereas, the number (1-α) signifies the best outcome.
So, the optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and allows the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the best', while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the worst'

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $11.8 million to build, and the site requires $700,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (Enter your answer as a positive value in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$17.1 million
Explanation:
The proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project can be calculated as follows
DATA
Fair value of land = 4.6 million
Cost to build a plant = 11.8 million
Grading cost = 0.7 million
Solution
Initial investment = Fair value of land + Cost to build a plant + Grading cost
Initial investment = $4.6 million + $11.8 million + $0.7 million
Initial investment = $17.1 million

Hannah Co. has 10,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding. A 10% stock dividend is declared when the market price is $50 per share.Following the stock dividend, a cash dividend of $4 per share is declared and paid to Hannah Cos' shareholders. The debit to Retained Earnings will be:
Answer:
Hannah Co.
The debit to Retained Earnings will be:
$44,000
Explanation:
Common Stock outstanding = 10,000 shares of $10 par
With a 10% stock dividend, the outstanding shares increase to 11,000 (10,000 x 1.1).
The cash dividend per share = $4
Total cash dividend equals $44,000 ($4 x 11,000).
So the Retained Earnings will be debited to the sum of $44,000 following the cash dividend to reduce the Retained Earnings account by $44,000.
You are considering two ways of financing a spring break vacation. You could put it on your credit card, at 17% APR, compounded monthly, or borrow the money from youe parents, who want an interest payment of 6% every six months. which is the lower rate? (Dont round intermediate steps to decimal places)
Answer: Parent's rate is lower.
Explanation:
The lower rate will be the lower Effective Annual rate, the formula of which is;
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
Credit Card
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + \frac{0.17}{12})^{12} - 1\\= 0.184[/tex]
= 18.4%
From your parents
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + 0.07) ^{2} - 1\\= 0.1449[/tex]
= 14.5%
Parent's rate is lower.
In its third year, a project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes of $671,551 and depreciation expense of $125,193. If the company’s tax rate is 34%, what is the project’s expected operating cash flow?
Answer:
Operating cash flow= $568,416.66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Earnings before interest and taxes= $671,551
Depreciation expense= $125,193.
Tax rate= 34%
To calculate the operating cash flow, we need to use the following structure:
EBIT= 671,551
Tax= (671,551*0.34)= (228,327.34)
Depreciation= 125,193
Operating cash flow= 568,416.66
Troy Enterprises uses a continuous review inventory control system. The firm operates 50 weeks per year, with an annual demand of 50,000 units, an ordering cost of $35 per order, a holding cost of $1 per unit per year, a lead time of 3 weeks, and a standard deviation of demand during lead time equal to 216.51 units. what is safety stock for the firm if a 94% service level is desired?
Answer:
Safety Stock is 336.62 units
Explanation:
As per given data
Demand = D = 50,000
Ordering Cost = S = $35
Holding Cost = H = $1 per unit per year
Weekly Demand = Demand / 50 weeks = 50,000 / 50 = 1,000 units per week
Weekly Demand during Lead time of 3 weeks = 1000 x 3 = 3,000 units
Standard Deviation = 216.51 units
Desired Service level = 94%
The Z score at 94% service level is 1.55477
Safety Stock = Zscore x standard deviation = 1.55477 x 216.51
Safety Stock = 336.62
The Safety Stock for the firm if a 94% service level is desired is 336.62 units
Calculation of the safety stock:Since
Demand = D = 50,000
Ordering Cost = S = $35
Holding Cost = H = $1 per unit per year
Now
Weekly Demand = Demand / 50 weeks
= 50,000 / 50
= 1,000 units per week
Now
Weekly Demand during Lead time of 3 weeks
= 1000 x 3
= 3,000 units
Standard Deviation = 216.51 units
Desired Service level = 94%

A security company offers to provide CCTV coverage for a parking garage for ten years for an initial payment of $45,000 and additional payments of $25,000 per year. What is the equivalent annual annuity of this deal, given a cost of capital of 4%?
Answer:
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
Explanation:
The equivalent annuity is the annual cash cash flows that is the same in value to the present value of the total cost associated with providing the CCTV coverage.
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
To determine the total prsent value of cost associated with CCTV would sum the present value of the additional payment for 10 years and the initial cost.
Initial cost - 45,000
Additional payment = 25,000
PV of additional payment = A× 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r
= 25,000 × 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04 = 202,772.39
Total PV of cost = 202,772.39 + 45,000 = 247,772.39
Total PV of cost = 247,772.39
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r = ( 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04) = 8.1109
Equivalent Annual Annuity =247,772.39 /8.1109 = 30,548.09
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
When harvesting a venture, the outright purchase of the going concern by managers, employees, or external buyers is known as going public. Question 2 options:
Answer:
In simple words, Harvesting seems to be the tool used by traders and investors to get out of business and, preferably, to recover the interest of their investments in the company. It's about more than trying to sell and having to leave a company. It includes collecting interest, risk reduction, and developing opportunities for the future.
Whenever a marketing plan includes a harvest tactic, investment firms and borrowers are convinced that the proprietors aim to establish the market and start selling it to either international shareholders or go to another corporation.
You purchased a stock at a price of $48.98. The stock paid a dividend of $1.63 per share and the stock price at the end of the year was $54.12. What was the total return for the year? Multiple Choice 13.82% 10.49% 13.17% 12.51% 3.33%
Answer:
13.82%
Explanation:
The computation of total return for the year is shown below:-
Total return = (End value - Beginning value + Dividend) ÷ Beginning value
= ($54.12 - $48.98 + $1.63) ÷ $48.98
= 6.77 ÷ $48.98
= 0.13821
or
= 13.82%
Therefore for computing the total return we simply applied the above formula by considering all the information given in the question
Shaw Company engages Maya Company to produce a large machine, install the machine, and train their employees on the machine. The machine, installation, and training are distinct, and Maya determines that the contract includes three separate performance obligations. The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract. Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.
Required:
How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?
Answer:
Machine= 736,000
Installation= 92,000
Training= 92,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract.
Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.
First, we need to determine the proportion of each:
Machine= 800,000/1,000,000= 0.8
Installation= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1
Training= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1
Now, we can allocate:
Machine= 0.8*920,000= 736,000
Installation= 0.1*920,000= 92,000
Training= 0.1*920,000= 92,000
The Clipper Corporation had net operating income of $380,000 and average operating assets of $2,000,000. The corporation requires a return on investment of 18%.
Required ( support your answers with explanations):
a.Calculate the company's return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI).
b.Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment?(Note: the decision model for the division manager is self-interested i.e. centers on the decision's effect on his evaluation criteria)
c.Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a residual income of $50,000 and its manager is evaluated based on the division's residual income, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment?(Note: the decision model for the division manager is self-interested i.e. centers on the effect on his evaluation criteria)
Answer:
The Clipper Corporation
a. The company's return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI):
ROI = $380,000/$2,000,000 x 100
= 19%
RI = $380,000 - (18% of $2,000,000)
= 380,000 - $360,000
= $20,000
b. Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Department's current return on investment = 20%
Actual return on investment for this project = $12,950/$70,000 x 100
= 18.5%
The manager of the division will not be inclined to request funds to make this investment that will yield an ROI of 18.5% when the department is already making 20%. This new investment will dilute his current ROI and adversely affect his performance evaluation.
c. Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Current divisional residual income = $50,000
Actual residual income from this project,
= $12,950 - (18% of $70,000)
= $12,950 - $12,600
= $350
The division manager will be inclined to request funds for this investment that will increase her Residual Income marginally from $50,000 to $50,350, because her evaluation depends on an absolute figure and not a relative one (ROI).
Explanation:
1. The Clipper Corporation's Residual Income is equal to its operating income minus (minimum required return x operating assets).
2. The Clipper Corporation's Return on Investment is a derivative obtained from dividing the returns of its investment by the cost of the investment.
Here, we are preparing the cpmpany's return on investment (ROI), residual income (RI) etc
a. Computation of the Return on investment (ROI):
Return on investment = (Operating income/Average operating assets) * 100
Return on investment = ($380,000/$2,000,000) * 100
Return on investment = 0.19
Return on investment = 19%
Computation of the residual income (RI)
Residual income = [(Operating income - (Return on investment *Average operating assets)]
Residual income = $380,000 - (18% * $2,000,000)
Residual income = 380,000 - $360,000
Residual income = $20,000
b. Given Information
Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Department's current return on investment = 20%
The actual return on investment for this project will equals:
= (Annual operating income / Investment) * 100
= ($12,950/$70,000) * 100
= 0.185
= 18.5%
Therefore, the manager of the division will not be inclined to request funds to make this investment that will yield an ROI of 18.5% because the department is already making 20%.
c. Given Information
Investment = $70,000
Annual operating income = $12,950
Current divisional residual income = $50,000
The actual residual income from this project will be:
= Annual operating income - (Return on investment * Investment)
= $12,950 - (18% * $70,000)
= $12,950 - $12,600
= $350
Therefore, the division manager will be inclined to request funds for this investment that will increase the residual Income marginally from $50,000 to $50,350 because her evaluation depends on an absolute figure and not a relative one (Return on investment).

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.
Answer: fall, reducing, fall below
Explanation:
the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will __________ , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by __________ the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________the natural level of output in the short run.
