Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of Earnings Before Interest and taxes, Taxable income and Net income is shown below:-
Earnings Before Interest = Revenue from sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000
= $19,000
Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid
= $19,000 - $450
= $18,550
Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes
= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)
= $18,550 - $6,307
= $12,243
2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-
Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million
= $3.06
3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-
Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)
= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)
= $3.06 ÷ 6%
= $51
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
According to Keynesian business cycle theory, A. inflation is procyclical and leading. B. the procyclical movement of investment is well explained when shocks to durable goods are themselves a main source of the cycle (so-called "animal spirits"), but not when cycles are caused by fluctuations in the LM curve. C. beneficial aggregate demand shocks, regardless of whether they shift the IS curve or the LM curve, will increase both output and the real interest rate. D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.
The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.
Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.
By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.
The expense recognition principle indicates: Multiple Choice the ordering of current assets and current liabilities on the balance sheet. where expenses should be presented on the income statement. how expenses should be split between the income statement and the balance sheet. when costs are recognized as expenses on the income statement.
Answer:
when costs are recognized as expenses on the income statement.
Explanation:
The expense recognition principle is an accounting principle which is typically used on accrual basis accounts and it states that expenses incurred by an individual or business entity should be recognized and matched in the same period with respect to the revenues they are related to.
The expense recognition principle indicates when costs are recognized as expenses on the income statement.
For instance, company XYZ purchases a property worth $90,000 in June, it was then sold in July for $250,000. Based on the expense recognition principle, the $90,000 cost shouldn't be recognized by company XYZ as an expense until July, when the related revenue would be recognized also. Else, if recognized, its expenses would be overstated by $90,000 in June, and consequently understated to the tune of $250,000 in July.
Additionally, the expense recognition principle helps business owners to calculate their taxes and profits or losses properly.
Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Answer:
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.
If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.
In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.
When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.
People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.
A firm expects to have net income of $5,000,000 during the next year. The company’s target capital structure is 35% debt and 65% equity. The company's director of capital budgeting has determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is $6,000,000. If SL Computer follows a residual distribution policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year’s dividend, then what is the firm’s expected dividend payments?
Answer:
$1,100,000
Explanation:
The firm expected to have 5,000,000 as net Income
Capital Structure; Debt=35% , Equity= 65%
$6,000,000 is determined to be the Optimal capital budget for the coming year
The firm’s expected dividend payments following a residual distribution policy is = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]
Where Net Income =5,000,000 Total capital budget =6,000,000 Equity Ratio= 65%
Hence Total Dividend Payment = $5,000,000 – [$6,000,000 x 65%]
= $5,000,000 - $3,900,000
= $1,100,000
The firm’s expected dividend payments is = $1,100,000,
Suppose that a small company that makes a standardized product is experiencing an increase in sales even though it has a small geographic footprint. Currently, the founder makes all of the strategic decisions but is beginning to feel overwhelmed. She has decided to pursue a cost-leadership strategy going forward. In order for the firm to achieve its goals, which of the following business-level structures should the firm adopt?
a. an ambidextrous functional structure
b. a centralized functional structurea flexible organic structure
c. a centralized multidivisional structure
d. a simple structure with the founder's imprint
Answer: b. a centralized functional structure
Explanation:
Cost Leadership refers to a situation where a company is better at cost management that other companies in the industry. If a company can produce at a lower cost, they can capture more market share and be more profitable.
When a company wants to engage in cost Leadership one of the best structures to adopt is the Centralised functional structure. This is when decisions are usually made at a top management level in a company that is divided by functions such as Information Technology, Sales, Marketing etc.
By making the structure centralised, the company can make Standardised products on a company wide basis which is very effective in cost saving as the company is able to plan better and spend less because they will be buying resources and producing in bulk. That advantage from Economies of Scale will keep their costs low.

On September 30, 2018, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $480 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2038 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bonds was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30.
Required:
Determine the price of the bonds on September 30, 2018.
Answer:
The price of the bonds today is $397.64 million (rounded off to two decimal places)
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated as the present value of the face value of the bond discounted at the market interest rate plus the present value of the annuity of interest payments related to the bond discounted at the market interest rate or the Yield to Maturity (YTM).
The formula for the price of the bond is attached hereby.
Semi annual coupon rate = 8%/2 = 4%
Semi annual market interest rate = 10% / 2 = 5%
Number of semi annual interest periods = 20 * 2 = 40 periods
The interest paid by the bond semi annually is = 480 * 0.04 = $19.2 million
Price of the bond = 19.2 * [(1 - (1+0.05)^-40) / 0.05] + 480 / (1+0.05)^40
Price of the bond = $397.6363855 million rounded off to $397.64 million
Wingate Company, a wholesale distributor of electronic equipment, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement: Sales $ 1,535,000 Variable expenses 553,150 Contribution margin 981,850 Fixed expenses 1,080,000 Net operating income (loss) $ (98,150) In an effort to resolve the problem, the company would like to prepare an income statement segmented by division.

2b) The net operating income will increase by $55,200, thus reducing the loss from $98,150 to $42,950.
Explanation:
Segmenting the income statement into divisions helps management to trace the loss making division as Division East. The division has a traceable fixed cost that is far above its contribution to profit. The fixed expense must be studied, otherwise the division may be up for closure.
Interest During Construction Dexter Construction Corporation is building a student condominium complex; it started construction on January 1, Year 1. Dexter borrowed $1 million specifically for the project by issuing a 10%, 5-year, $1 million note, which is payable on December 31 of Year 3. Dexter also had a 12%, 5-year, $3 million note payable and a 10%, 10-year, $1.8 million note payable outstanding all year. In Year 1, Dexter incurred costs as follows: January 1 $280,000 March 1 600,000 June 30 1,000,000 November 1 480,000 Calculate Dexter's capitalized interest on the student condominium complex for Year 1. Capitalized interest
Answer:
$140,500
Explanation:
first we must calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures:
incurred costs as follows:
January 1: $280,000 x 12/12 = $280,000
March 1: $600,000 x 10/12 = $500,000
June 30: $1,000,000 x 6/12 = $500,000
November 1: $480,000 x 2/12 = $80,000
total = $1,360,000
now we must calculate the weighted average interest rate on the non construction debt:
12% x $3 million = $360,000
10% x $1.8 million = $180,000
total = $540,000 / ($3,000,000 + $1,800,000) = 11.25%
capitalized interest:
$1,000,000 x 10% (specific construction debt) = $100,000
$360,000 x 11.25% (non construction debt) = $40,500
total $140,500
A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. This means that copper and bronze are perfect substitutes and that her isoquant curve is right-angled.
Answer: straight lines that are parallel to each other
Explanation: Q: A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. What must her isoquants look like?
An isoquant curve is defined as a line of equal or constant economic production on a graph, chart or map which describes all the combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output. If the jeweler either uses copper or bronze but not both, it means that the copper and bronze are perfect substitutes, that is, they are two inputs that can be substituted for each other at a constant rate and at the same time maintaining the same output level. Her isoquants would appear as straight lines that are parallel to each other because all that matters is the sum of the two variables (copper and bronze), and not their individual values.
Calculate the Social Security and Medicare deductions for the following employee (assume a tax rate of 6.2% on $128,400 for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare): (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Social Security tax = $7,960.80
Medicare tax = $1,861.80
Explanation:
Let's begin by listing out the information given:
Social Security tax rate = 6.2%,
Medicare tax rate = 1.45%,
Income = $128,400
To calculate for the deductions(tax), we use the formula:
Tax = Tax rate * Income
For Social Security
Tax = Tax rate * Income
Tax = 6.2% * $128,400
T = 0.062 * $128,400
T = $7,960.80
∴ $7,960.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Social Security tax
For Medicare
Tax = Tax rate * Income
Tax = 1.45% * $128,400
T = 0.0145 * $128,400
T = $1,861.80
∴ $1,861.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Medicare tax

Answer: A---incurs costs and does not directly generate revenue.
Explanation:
A cost center is a department or unit in an organization which incurs cost on the organisation for its operation but does not directly add profit or directly generate revenue to the company.
Examples of a cost centre in a company include, The IT department., Research and Development Department.
For example the way in which an IT department, a cost centre in a company can indirectly generate revenue by operating efficiently and for the Research and Development Department is to develop a new promising product.
Shop –N-Go Systems purchased cash registers on April 1 for $6,000. If this asset has an estimated useful life of four years, what is the netbook value of the cash registers on May 31 if the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer:
Depreciation= $250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $6,000
Useful life= 4 years
Depreciation= straight-line
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= 6,000/4= 1,500
Now, the depreciation for two months:
Depreciation= (1,500/12)*2
Depreciation= $250

Cullumber Company issues $3.40 million, 20-year, 9% bonds at 98, with interest payable on December 31. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond discount. Collapse question part (a) Partially correct answer.
Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit Jan. 1 Entry field with correct answer
Answer:
Dr cash $3,332,000
Dr discount on bonds payable $68,000
Cr bonds payable $3,400,000
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the bond issuance is 98% of the face value.
Cash proceeds=$3,400,000*98%=$3,332,000.00
This meant that the bond was issued at a discount of $ 68,000.00 ($3,400,000-$3,332,000).
In recording the bond issuance, the cash account is debited with the cash proceeds of $3,332,000 with the discount on bonds payable debited with $68,000 while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $3,400,000
Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $114,000 on December 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $5,800 in the fair value of the trading debt investments by the end of the year 2019. Which of the following is the correct journal entry?
A. Trading Debt Investments 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
B. Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
C. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5.800
Retained Earnings 5,800
D. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Answer:
The correct option is D,
Unrealized Holding Loss-Trading $5,800
Fair Value Adjustment–Trading $5,800
Explanation:
The decrease in fair value by $5,800 means that the investment has potentially lost $5,800 in value which is credited to fair value adjustment while the debit is posted to unrealized holding loss-trading account.
The loss cannot be realized in retained earnings since the loss is yet to be realized as the investment has not been sold for cash.
The realized loss or gain would be determined when investment is sold for cash.
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $75.50. a. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield
Answer:
(a) Percentage return = -$14.20 ÷ $92 = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = $2.30 ÷ $92 = 2.50%
Explanation:
Initial price per share= $92.00
Ending share price = $75.50
Capital loss = $75.50 - $92.00 = -$16.50
Dividend = $2.30
Net return = -$16.50 + $2.30 = -$14.20
(a) Percentage return = (-$14.20 ÷ $92) × 100% = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = ($2.30 ÷ $92) × 100% = 2.50%
You have an investment that in today's dollars returns 12% of your investment in year 1, 18% in year 2, 11% in year 3, and the remainder in year 4. Rounded to two places, what is the Duration of this investment
Answer:
The duration of this investment will be 14,005 years
Explanation:
Duration of investment= Sum of ( Percentage* TIme)
=( 1 x 12%) + (2 x 18%) + (3 x 11%) + (4 x 59%)
= 12+36+33+13,924
=14,005 years
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $112 for the skirt:
Store Travel Time Each Way (Minutes) Price of a Skirt (Dollars per skirt)
Local Department Store 15 103
Across Town 30 89
Neighboring City 60 63
Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.
Store Opportunity Cost of Time (Dollars) Price of a Skirt (Dollars per skirt) Total Cost (Dollars)
Local Department Store 103
Across Town 89
Neighboring City 63
Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_______
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the neighboring city because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $119across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $113neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $103Juanita should purchase the skirt at the neighboring city because the total economic cost will be lowest ($103)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Consider the market for mobile applications, smartphones, and conventional phones. For each pair, identify whether they are complements or substitutes:
Pairs of Goods and Services Complements Substitutes
Mobile applications and smartphones
Mobile applications and conventional phones
Smartphones and conventional phones
Answer:
Mobile Applications and Smart Phones are Complements
Smart Phones and Conventional Phones are Substitutes
Mobile Applications and Conventional Phones are substitutes.
Explanation:
Complement goods are goods that can be used or consumed together. E.g. car and gas. A car would not work without gas. A rise in price of a good leads to a fall in demand of the complement good.
Subsituite goods rival one another in consumption. They can be used in place of another good.
A rise in price of a good leads to a rise in demand of the other good.

In no case can "market" in the lower-of-cost-or-market rule be more than:_______.
a. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
c. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal.
d. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal and an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin.
Answer:
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
Explanation:
Note that the lower of cost market rule is explicitly encouraging businesses to record the lowest cost of inventory; for example using the original cost or its current market price, whichever is favourable.
Thus, the "market" must not be more than the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, with an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
A young couple is planning for the education of their two children. They plan to invest the same amount of money at the end of each of the next 16 years. The first contribution will be made at the end of the year and the final contribution will be made at the end of the year the older child enters college. The money will be invested in securities that are certain to earn a return of 8% each year. The older child will begin college in 16 years and the second child will begin college in 18 years. The parents anticipate college costs of $25,000 a year (per child). These costs must be paid at the end of each year. If each child takes four years to complete their college degrees, then how much money must the couple save each year
Answer:
The couple must save $ 6,598 each year
Explanation:
Calculating the payment amount:
Cost per year = $25,000 per each child
Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000
For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 16
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $3,298
Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 18
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $2,670
Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.
Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598

Concord Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $36500. During 2020, it wrote off $30500 of accounts and collected $8600 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $780000 at 1/1 and $940000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Concord estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What should Concord report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20
Answer:
$32,400
Explanation:
According to the situation for computation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 first we need to find out the actual balance which is shown below:-
Actual balance = Beginning Balance of Allowance + Amount reinstated - Amount written off + Uncollectible account expenses
= $36,500 + $8,600 - $30,500
= $14,600
Ending balance of Allowance = Balance of accounts receivables × Accounts receivable percentage at 12/31 - Actual balance
= $940,000 × 5% - $14,600
= $47,000 - $14,600
= $32,400
Therefore for reaching the ending balance of allowance we simply applied the above formula.

Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 2.5% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Present value (P) = $1,200
Future value (F) = $1,618.62
Number of year = 5 year = 5(12) months = 60 months
Find:
The nominal annual rate of interest(r)
Computation:
[tex]Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{F}{P} }-1 \\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = \sqrt[60]{\frac{1,618.62}{1,200} }-1 \\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = 0.004949\\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = 0.5 %[/tex]
Actual periodic Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 0.5 (5year)
Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 2.5% (Approx)
The University of Michigan football stadium, built in 1927, is the largest college stadium in America, with a seating capacity of 110,500 fans. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins, and the athletic department collects $86.19 million in ticket sales. Required: 1. What is the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold
Answer:
The average price per season ticket is $780
The average price per individual game ticket is $130
Explanation:
The season involves 6 home games. Thus, a season ticket entitles you to attend six home games. The capacity of the stadium is 110500 fans per game. Thus, for a season of 6 games, the number of total fans to attend will be,
Season total attendance = 6 *110500 = 663000 fans
Average ticket price per game will be = 86,190,000 / 663,000
Average ticket price per game will be = $130
As the season involves 6 games and the average ticket price per game is $130, the average price per season ticket will be,
Average price per season ticket = 130 * 6 = $780
Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $50. Since the new component would improve the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change if fixed expenses are unaffected
Answer:
Because fixed costs will not change, the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income will be equal to the contribution margin of the product once the new component is added.
Explanation:
The contribution margin is equal to: Revenue - Variable Costs.
We already know that the variable cost will be increased by $50 once new component is added, and that monthly sales are expected to increase by 500 units after that.
Depending on the price of the product, the amount sold, and the variable costs, we get the contribution margin, and this contribution margin will be exactly the same as the overall effect on the net operating income.
If an advertiser bids $4.75 CPM and another advertiser bids $0.50 per CPC with a click rate of 1%, the display network would award the ad space to A. the CPM bidder because the network would earn $4.75 versus only 50 cents with the CPC bidder BY. the CPM bidder since the network has no idea how many click throughs the CPM bidder will get C. the CPC bidder because the 1% click through rate would produce $5.00 over 1,000 impressions D. the CPC bidder because the $0.50 per click rate would produce an income of $50.00 versus only $4.75 for the CPM bidder
Answer: C. the CPC bidder because the 1% click through rate would produce $5.00 over 1,000 impressions
Explanation:
From the question, an advertiser bids $4.75 cost per thousand impressions (CPM) while another advertiser bids $0.50 per CPC with a click rate of 1%. Over 1000 impressions, the second advertiser bids will produce:
= $0.50 × 1% × 1000
= $0.50 × 0.01 × 1000
= $5
Based on the analysis above, the CPC bidder will be awarded the advertisement space because the 1% click through rate would give $5.00 over 1,000 impressions.
