Answer:
Hispanic
Explanation:
In the United States Hispanic population has continued to be responsible for half of the total population growth since 2010 till date.
In this time Hispanics contributed 52% to the 18.9 million population growth in the United States.
Based on this trend Zeffer has decided to develop a line of all-natural soft drinks that are believed to be healthier than typical high-calorie sodas and targeting the Hispanic market will make their product popular rapidly.
On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 8, 2012:
Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000
Cost of painting the truck = 4,000
Cost of replacing the tires = 2,500
Cost of overhauling the engine 8,000
Total costs = $79,500
Residual value = 6,000
Depreciable amount = $73,500
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation Method:
Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)
Units-of-production Method:
Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)
For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)
For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%
First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)
Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)
Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)
Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)
Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)
Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)
Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)
Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)
Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)
Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
Last year, Valley Manufacturing reported sales of $800,000, net operating income of $40,000, and average operating assets of $400,000. The company is considering the purchase of equipment that will reduce expenses by $20,000. The equipment will increase average operating assets by $100,000 and be purchased by issuing a notes payable. Sales will remain unchanged. If Valley accepts the project, its return on investment (ROI) after the purchase is projected to

Explanation:
Chesapeake Inc. acquired a registered trademark for $600,000. The trademark has a remaining legal life of 5 years but can be renewed every 10 years for a nominal fee. Chesapeake does not expect to renew the acquired trademark when the legal life is over. What amount of amortization expense should Chesapeake record for the trademark in the current year?
a. $0
b. $15,000
c. $40,000
d. $120,000
Answer:
d. $120,000
Explanation:
Amortization expense = Cost ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore
Amortization expense = $600,000 ÷ 5 = $120,000
Note ; In this case the legal life is the same as the useful life.
if the market price of common stock increases substantially, bondholders with convertible bonds benefit. convertible bonds can be converted into common stock at the option of the issuing company. bondholders with convertible bonds receive interest on the bonds until conversion. convertible bonds sell at a higher price and pay a lower rate of interest than those without the conversion option.
Answer:
if the market price of common stock increases substantially,
bondholders with convertible bonds benefit.
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a fixed interest debt security. The number of common shares into which it can be converted is predetermined at the issuance date. While the conversion can be done at certain time in the life of the bond, the decision to convert is usually at the discretion of the bondholder. As investors, bondholders opt to convert when it would be most profitable. This happens when the market price of the common stock increases.
The risk-free rate of return is 9.0%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 2.0. Xyrong pays out 50% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $20 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 18% per year on all reinvested earnings forever

Answer:
$109
$118.81
18.26%
Explanation:
Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated
growth rate = retention rate x ROE
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
0.5 x 18% = 9%
According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%
dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share
0.5 x $20 = $10
Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109
Stock price in a year
[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81
(dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
Skyler Manufacturing recorded operating data for its shoe division for the year. Sales $4,500,000 Contribution margin 500,000 Controllable fixed costs 200,000 Average total operating assets 900,000 How much is controllable margin for the year
Answer:
Controllable margin= $300,000
Controllable margin in %= 33.3%
Explanation:
Controllable margin is sales revenue less controllable variable costs and fixed cost.
Controllable margin= Sales revenue - controllable variable cost - controllable fixed costs
Controllable margin= contribution margin - fixed costs
= 500,000 - 200,000= 300,000
Controllable margin in %= 300,000/900,000 × 100 =33.3%
Controllable margin in %= 33.3
Review each of the following independent sets of conditions. For each condition, calculate the (1) sample rate of deviation, and use the AICPA sample evaluation tables to identify the (2) upper limit rate of deviation, and (3) allowance for sampling risk (n = sample size, d = deviations. ROO = risk of overreliance). (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
a. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 5%.
b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.
c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 5%.
i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 8/100
= 8%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 14%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 14% - 8%
= 6%
b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.
i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 4/100
= 4%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 9%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 9% - 4%
= 5%
c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.
i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 8/100
= 8%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 12.7%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 12.7% - 8%
= 4.7%

Modigliani and Miller's world of no taxes. Roxy Broadcasting, Inc. is currently a low-levered firm with a debt-to-equity ratio of /. The company wants to increase its leverage to / for debt to equity. If the current return on assets is % and the cost of debt is %, what are the current and the new costs of equity if Roxy operates in a world of no taxes? What is the current cost of equity if Roxy operates in a world of no taxes?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Current
Total assets = Debt + Equity
= 2 + 7 9
Now
Debt ratio = Debt ÷ Total assets = 2 ÷ 9
Equity ratio = Equity ÷ Total assets = 7 ÷ 9
Return on assets = Cost of debt × Debt ratio + Cost of equity × Equity ratio
11% = 9% × 2 ÷ 9 + Cost of equity × 7 ÷ 9
Cost of equity × 7 ÷ 9 = 11% - (9% × 2 ÷ 9)
Cost of equity = ( 11% - (9% × 2 ÷ 9) ) × 9 ÷ 7
= 12%
For New
Total assets = Debt + Equity = 7 + 2 = 9
Debt ratio = Debt ÷ Total assets = 7 ÷ 9
Equity ratio = Equity ÷ Total assets = 2 ÷9
Return on assets = Cost of debt × Debt ratio + Cost of equity × Equity ratio
11% = 9% × 7 ÷ 9 + Cost of equity × 2 ÷ 9
Cost of equity × 2 ÷ 9 = 11% - (9% × 7 ÷ 9)
Cost of equity = ( 11% - (9% × 7 ÷ 9) ) × 9 ÷ 2
= 18%
Calculate amortization expense
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.
You do not start saving money until age 46. On your 46th birthday you dutifully invest $10,000 each year until you finish your deposits when you reach the age of 65 (you make the last deposit on your 65th birthday). The annual interest rate is 8% that you earn on your deposits. Your brother starts saving $10,000 a year on his 36th birthday but stops making deposits after 10 years. He then withdraws the compounded sum when he reaches age 65. How much more money will your brother have than you at age 65?
Answer:
$217,600
Explanation:
The computation of the more money is shown below:
As we know that
The Future value of the annuity is
= P × { (1+r)^n - 1} ÷ r
= $10,000 × (1+.08)^20 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $457,619.64
For 36 years to 46 years,
FV = $10,000 × (1+.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $144,865.62
Now
FV = PV(1+r)^n
= $144,865.62× (1+.08)^20
= $675,212.47
Now the more amount would be
= $675,212.47 - $457,619.64
= $217592.83
= $217,600

Orange Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Investment in depreciable equipment $ 520,000 Annual net cash flows $ 78,000 Life of the equipment 10 years Salvage value $ 0 Discount rate 6 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The payback period for the investment would be: Multiple Choice 1.0 years 0.2 years 4.7 years 6.7 years
Answer:
6.7 years
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Investment = $520,000
Net cash flow = $78,000
Life of equipment = 10 years
So, we can calculate the payback period for investment by using following formula,
Payback period for investment = Initial Investment ÷ Net cash flow
= $520,000 ÷ $78,000
= 6.67 years or 6.7 years

Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30
= 11.57%
b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is
Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% - growth rate)
so, the growth rate is 6.31%

The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?
a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.
d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.
Answer:
the correct answer is B)
Explanation:
Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.
Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:
1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.
Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.
Answer:
RULES OF KANBAN BOARD
Yellow – A Slice of Pizza
• Blue – Full Pizza
• Green – Soda
• Green jumps from Queue to Pack only
• No pizza will be delivered without quality check
• Pizza will return to the backlog, if it is found with inferior quality during quality check
• A unique token number will be given for each order
• Orders with multiple pizza or a combo order will be given same unique token number
• Pizza will be prepared in the order of token number
• Token number will include initials “C” for carry out, “D” for dine in
THE ATTACHED IMAGE HAS THE REPRESENTATIONS OF KANBAN CARDS.
The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.
