Answer: $147,501
Explanation:
Since the company uses straight voting whereby each share gets only one vote per seat, the cost to guarantee that one will be elected to the board is;
Cost = Share price*( (shares outstanding/2) +1 )
= 64 * (( 295,000/2) + 1)
= 64 * 147,501
= $147,501
This is the cost of owning more than 50% of the shares and it will guarantee that you can vote yourself in for a seat as you will have the majority to do so.

What is the effective annual inerest rate?
A. 9%
B. 10%
C. 11%
D. 20%
Answer:
B. 10%
Explanation:
The computation of the effective annual interest rate is shown below:-
Effective annual interest rate = Lease payment third effective interest ÷ Lease payment second balance × 100
= $2,126 ÷ $21,260 × 100
= 10%
Therefore for computing the effective annual interest rate we simply applied the above formula.
Hence the correct option is B.

Stephenson Co.'s 15-year bond with a face value of $1,000 currently sells for $850. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The bond's coupon rate exceeds its current yield.
B. The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
C. If the yield to maturity stays constant until the bond matures, the bond's price will remain at $850.
D. The bonds current yield exceeds its yield to maturity.
Answer:
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
Explanation:
At a discount, the price of the bond is less than its face value, from bond theory principles, this is likely to happen when YTM is more than the coupon rate of the bond. Due to this the present value of the coupons and their face value are going to be lower than 1000 since YTM is greater.
The coupon rate is given as annual interest divided by face value
While
The yield is interest/ current price.
The answer to the question is therefore
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.

Double West Suppliers (DWS) reported sales for the year of $400,000, all on credit. The average gross profit percentage was 35 percent on sales. Account balances follow:
Beginning Ending
Accounts receivable (net) $ 51,000 $ 61,000
Inventory 67,000 46,000
Required:
1. Compute the following turnover ratios. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
2. By dividing 365 by your ratios from requirement 1, calculate the average days to collect receivables and the average days to sell inventory. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round turnover ratio calculation and final answers to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
1. Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivables = 400,000 / (51000 + 61000)/2
= 400,000/56,000
= 7.1 times
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory = (Sales-Gross Profit)/Average Inventory = (400,000 - 35% * 400,000) / (67000 + 46000)/2
=400,000 - 140,000 / 56,500
= 260,000 / 56,500
= 4.6 times
2. Average Days to Collect Receivables = 365/7.1 = 51.40 or 52 days
Average Days to Collect Inventory = 365/4.6 = 79.34 days
The initial price for a stadium is $800,000,000. There will be a 2% adjustment to the price, and $85,000,000 of revenue from the sale of previous equipment and land. The projected future cash flow is $675,000,000. The government has decided to provide $300,000,000 of cash to discount the price. What is the Net Present Value of the Stadium
Answer:
NPV = $246764705.88
Explanation:
The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.
DATA
Initial price = $800,000,000
Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000
Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000
Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804
Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000
Solution
NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows
NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000
NPV = $246,764,706
Working
PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804
PV of cash inflow = $661,764,706
PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale - Goverment fund
PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000
PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

Sometimes airlines raise ticket prices as the flight departure date approaches in the hope of increasing revenue. The airlines raise their prices on the assumption that:
Answer:
B) less price-elastic as departure time approaches.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A) steady in its price elasticity as departure time approaches.
B) less price-elastic as departure time approaches.
C) always unit elastic.
D) very sensitive to price changes as the time of departure approaches.
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
As the departure date arrives, there would be less available flights and less time for travellers to make alternative travelling arrangements. As a result, they would be willing to pay any price. At this point, travellers would have a less elastic demand. that is they are less sensitive to price.
Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out. To illustrate your recommended procedure, use as an example the ordering policy for white percale sheets.
Demand for white percale sheets is 5,000 per year. The store is open 365 days per year. Every two weeks (14 days) inventory is counted and a new order is placed. It takes 10 days for the sheets to be delivered. Standard deviation of demand for the sheets is five per day. There are currently 150 sheets on hand.
How many sheets should you order?
Answer:
The number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Explanation:
Before we can determine the number sheets to order, we need to first calculate the targeted number of sheet as follows:
TN = DD * (LT + RT) + z + SDD * [tex]\sqrt{LT + RT}[/tex] .......................... (1)
Where;
TN = Targeted number of sheets = ?
DD = Daily demand = 5,000 / 365 = 13.70
LT = Lead time = 10
RT = Review time or stock taking time = 14
SDD = Standard Deviation of Daily Demand = 5
z = 1.64
Note: Since Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out, the z is determined by just typing the function =NORM.S.INV(0.95) in the Microsoft Excel to obtain the 1.64.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
TN = 13.70 * (10 + 14) + 1.64 * 5 * [tex]\sqrt{10+14}[/tex]
TN = 369 approximately
Since there are currently 150 sheets on hand, the number of sheets you should order can be determined as follows:
Number of sheet to order = TS - Number of sheets on hand = 369 - 150 = 219 sheets
Therefore, the number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Answer:
219 sheets
Explanation:
The computation of the number of sheets ordered is computed by applying the following formula
Number of sheets ordered is
= Average daily demand × (Lead time + time taken) + Service probability × standard deviation in lead time - present inventory level
where,
Standard deviation in lead time is
= [tex]\sqrt{10+14(5)}[/tex]
= 24.49
And, the service probability level could be find out by applying the =NORMSINV(0.95) in excel so the value of z is 1.64
And, all other things would remain the same
= 5,000 ÷ 365 days × (10 + 14) + (1.64) (24.49) - 150
= 219 sheets

A registered representative receives an order from a corporate issuer to buy 500,000 shares of that issuer's stock in the market, 5 minutes prior to market close. The registered representative should:
Answer: C. inform the company that this is a possible market manipulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Explanation:
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is meant to govern the actions of issuers and their affiliates engaging in trade in the open market. One reason for this is to prevent stock price manipulation.
SEC Act Rule 10b-18 might rule this transaction as a manipulative activity because it goes against the section of it that states that securities cannot be traded within 10 minutes of the stock market closing if that stock is an actively traded one. If it is not then the trade should not be executed within 30 minutes of market close.
The client should therefore be informed that by placing an order 5 minutes before close they could run afoul of this Act because buying such huge amounts at such a time could influence the price upwards for when the market reopens.

The question is incomplete:
Beer prices at major league baseball stadiums are usually much higher than prices at a bar or restaurant. This is mainly because
a. it costs the owners of the baseball teams more money to buy the beer from distributors
b. demand is much higher at a baseball game than at a bar
c. baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer
d. the government forces the owners of baseball teams to change price.
e. the owner's baseball teams are not profit maximizing
Answer:
c. baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer
Explanation:
The situation at the major league baseball stadiums is that the owner of the team is the only one that sells the beer which means that they have the power to establish the price they want as people won't have another option to buy the beer in the stadium and they will try to get as much benefits as possible by setting a high price. According to this, the answer is that this is mainly because baseball team owners have market power and can change a higher price when they are the only sellers of beer .
The other options are not right because the owners of the teams pay the same price for the beer as everyone else, the demand is not higher at the baseball game, the government doesn't regulate the prices and the owners are trying to get as much profits as possible.

If the manufacturer currently makes tons of clothespins per year, which sell at per ton, what will be the increase in revenue next year from the new equipment?
Answer:
$337,500
Explanation:
the questions was missing some numbers. I looked for similar questions and found:
increase in sales = 25%current annual production in tons = 75sales price per ton = $18,000increase in total sales = 75 tons x 25% = 18.75 tons
increase in revenue = 18.75 tons x $18,000 = $337,500
Since the question only asks for the increase in revenue, we do not have to calculate anything else.
If budgeted beginning finished goods inventory is $8,000, budgeted ending finished goods inventory is $9,400, and budgeted cost of goods sold is $10,260, budgeted cost of goods manufactured should be
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $11,660
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= $8,000
Ending inventory= $9,400
COGS= $10,260
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
10,260 = 8,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 9,400
cost of goods manufactured= 10,260 - 8,000 + 9,400
cost of goods manufactured= $11,660

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: (Do not round Cost per equivalent unit.)
a) $67,845
b) $38,507
c) $17,478
d) $21,797
Answer:
The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797
Explanation:
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800
Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 50%) = 925
Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials = 6,725
Conversion
Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800
Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 20%) = 370
Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Costs = 6,170
Calculation of Cost per Equivalent units of Production
Materials
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials
= ($ 8,700 + $ 91,000) ÷ 6,725
= $14.825
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials
= ($ 8,500 + $ 126,300) ÷ 6,170
= $21.848
Calculation of cost of ending work in process inventory
Materials ( 925 × $14.825) = $13,713.12
Conversion Cost ( 370 × $21.848) = $8,083.76
Total = $21,796.88
Thus,
The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797.

The company prepares 2,000 purchase orders, works 50,000 mixing hours, and performs 1,500 tests per year in producing 200,000 drums of Goo and 600,000 drums of Slime. The following data are available: Department Expected use of Driver Cost Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $1,200,000 Mixing 50,000 1,500,000 Testing 1,500 1,350,000 Production information for Goo is as follows: Department Expected use of Driver Ordering and Receiving 400 Mixing 20,000 Testing 500 Compute the amount of overhead assigned to Goo. $2,760,000.
Answer:
$1,290,000
Explanation:
Goo:
Ordering and Receiving = 400 / 2,000 = 20%
Mixing = 20,000 / 50,000 = 40%
Testing = 500 / 1,500 = 33.33%
allocated overhead costs:
Ordering and Receiving = 20% x $1,200,000 = $240,000
Mixing = 40% x $1,500,000 = $600,000
Testing = 33.33% x $1,350,000 = $450,000
total allocated overhead costs = $1,290,000

What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. 2,040 Hours
2. $27,540
3. 460 U
4.Labor rate variance = 1,000 U , Labor efficiency variance = 540 F
Explanation:
1. Standard labor hour allowed = (5,100 * 0.40) = 2,040 Hours
2. Standard labor cost = (2,040 * $13.50) = $27,540
3. Labor spending variance = (Standard cost - actual cost)
Labor spending variance = (27,540 - 28,000)
Labor spending variance = 460 U
4. Labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours
Labor rate variance = ($13.50 - $14) * 2000
Labor rate variance = 0.50 * 2,000 U
Labor rate variance = 1,000 U
Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate
Labor efficiency variance= (2,040 - 2,000) * $13.50
Labor efficiency variance = 40 * 13.50 F
Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

The company is now in the process of preparing a production budget for the second quarter. Past experience has shown that end-of-month inventory levels must equal 15% of the following month’s sales. The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for the second quarter; in your budget, show the number of units to be produced each month and for the quarter in total.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 70,000
May 85,000
June 110,000
July 90,000
Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 70,000
Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750
Beginning inventory= (10,500)
Total production= 72,250
May:
Sales= 85,000
Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500
Beginning inventory= (12,750)
Total production= 88,750
June:
Sales= 110,000
Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500
Beginning inventory= (16,500)
Total production= 107,000
Total quarter= 268,000
Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value. What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the of inflation.
Answer:
shoe-leather costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in general price levels.
shoe-leather costs of inflation is the cost in terms of time and effort spent by individuals in reducing their cash holdings in order to avoid paying inflation tax.
Bob's shoe cost of inflation includes :
1. the time and effort expended in going to purchase items immediately he is paid
2. the time and effort expended in converting the money he didn't spend to a more stable foreign currency.
Budgeted production 1,092 units Actual production 905 units Materials: Standard price per ounce $1.767 Standard ounces per completed unit 12 Actual ounces purchased and used in production 11,186 Actual price paid for materials $22,931 Labor: Standard hourly labor rate $14.92 per hour Standard hours allowed per completed unit 4.0 Actual labor hours worked 4,661 Actual total labor costs $75,741 Overhead: Actual and budgeted fixed overhead $1,189,000 Standard variable overhead rate $28.00 per standard labor hour Actual variable overhead costs $130,508 Overhead is applied on standard labor hours. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent.) The direct labor rate variance is a.$21,730.60 favorable b.$6,199.13 unfavorable c.$21,730.60 unfavorable d.$6,199.13 favorable
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Labor:
Standard hourly labor rate $14.92 per hour
Actual labor hours worked 4,661
Actual total labor costs $75,741
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 75,741/4,661= $16.25
Direct labor rate variance= (14.92 - 16.25)*4,661
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
