What are some examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals? Why do these intangible benefits complicate the capital budgeting evaluation process? What might happen if intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision?

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

An intangible benefit is a subjective benefit that one can't actually touch, and is also difficult to measure in terms of dollar.

Examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals will be the improved safety, increased product quality, and an enhanced employee loyalty.

Intangible benefits complicate capital budgeting evaluation process due to the fact that they can't be easily measured, hence, their value can be hard to quantify.

When intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision, it

may result in rejecting of projects that may have financial benefits to the company.

Kier Company issued $600,000 in bonds on January 1, Year 1. The bonds were issued at face value and carried a 5-year term to maturity. The bonds have a 6.00% stated rate of interest and interest is payable in cash on December 31 each year. Based on this information alone, what are the amounts of interest expense and cash flows from operating activities, respectively, that will be reported in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, Year 1

Answers

Answer:

interest expense = $36,000

cash flows from operating activities = - $36,000

Explanation:

issued $600,000 in 6% bonds, with a 5 year maturity with an annual coupon paid December 31.

since bonds were issued at face value, interest expense = face value x bonds payable = 6% x $600,000 = $36,000

cash flows from operating activities related to this operation = -$36,000

interest expense is part of operating activities, so they decrease the cash flow from operating activities.

Adger Corporation is a service company that measures its output based on the number of customers served. The company provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes and the actual results for May as shown below:

per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee salaries and wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
When preparing its planning budget, the company estimated that it would serve 30 customers per month; however, during May the company actually served 35 customers.
Required:
1. What amount of revenue would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
2. What amount of employee salaries and wages would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
3. What amount of travel expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
4. What amount of other expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
5. What net operating income would appear in Adger's flexible budget for May?

Answers

Answer:

1. Total Revenue in May $ 175,000

2. Total Salaries & wages For May  $ 88500

3. Total Travel Expenses for May $21,000

4. Other Expense  $ 36,000

5.  Operating Income $ 65,500

Explanation:

Given

Adger Corporation

                     Fixed Element        Variable Element           Actual Total

                      per Month                per Customer            Served for May

Revenue                                            $5,000                        $160,000

Employee Salaries

& wages           $50,000                   $1,100                           $88,000

Travel expenses                                 $600                           $19,000

Other expenses $36,000                                                      $34,500

There were 35 customers.

Revenue = $5000 per customer

We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of  customers and the variable element of expense per customer.

1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000

Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer

Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500

2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed

                                                     = $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500

Travel expenses = $600per customer

3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35=   $21,000

4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)

5.  Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses

                            = $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500

Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.

Document all transfers of inventory. c. Restrict physical access to inventory. d. File invoices by due date. e. Maintain a cash budget.

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

When there are no or relatively low control procedures in a company, there is a threat of financial mismanagement and misdemeanors. This is why control procedures are needed, to address this and stop the leakage of company resources.

1. Failing to take available purchase discounts for prompt payment.

d. File invoices by due date.

e. Maintain a cash budget.

Here two things can be done to control the threat. Firstly, by paying invoices during the discount period, the company can be able to take discounts on goods and services provided to it. Also by maintaining a cash budget, a company can put when a payment is due to be able to claim a discount and act accordingly.

2. Recording and posting errors in accounts payable.

Conduct an automated comparison of total change in cash to total changes in accounts payable.

Using a program to check whether the amounts in the cash account corresponds to the payments on the Accounts payable account will tell you if the amounts tally and will therefore reduce errors.

3. Paying for items not received.

Issue checks only for complete voucher packages (receiving report, supplier invoice, and purchase order).

When issuing checks, make sure that all the above mentioned reports are in order. That way you can check if the goods were delivered as well as if they were even ordered properly in the first place.

4. Kickbacks.

Require purchasing agents to disclose financial or personal interests in suppliers.

Train employees in how to properly respond to gifts or incentives offered by suppliers.

By requiring that purchase agents disclose their relationships with suppliers, you can monitor to check and see if there is a possibility of kickbacks occuring.

Also, by training employees on acceptable methods of receiving gifts, they can know when it is no longer a gift but rather a kickback.

5. Theft of inventory.

b. Document all transfers of inventory. c. Restrict physical access to inventory.

By documenting all transfers going in and out of inventory, the true inventory figure can be known from the records and then used to match with the actual inventory to see if they truly tally.

Restricting the amount of people who have access to the inventory to a few trusted people also limits the amount of people who can steal the inventory as well as making it easier to find out who did when it is done because the focus can be on a few people.

Since World War II, globalization has been driven by two major factors: the decline in barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital, and technological change. Business has fueled these trends and has been the beneficiary of these trends. Understanding globalization trends helps businesses identify opportunities and threats in their environment. Understanding these trends will also make the changes much more manageable. International businesses have greater flexibility, more options, and a broader scope to consider globalization of production and globalization of markets. Match the driving force to the correct description and implication for business.
a. declining trade barriers
b. technology transportation
c. declining investment barriers
d. technology computing and communication
Match each of the options above to the items below.
1. lower tariffs and increased international trade in goods and services rapid.
2. FDI growth and new production opportunities and new markets.
3. explosive growth of high-power, low-cost computing and growth in services.
4. faster and cheaper shipping and optimal production.

Answers

Answer: a to 1

b to 4

c to 2

d to 3

Explanation:

A to 1

Due to declining Trade barriers largely driven by trade agreements, countries are able to trade on a larger scale than before because goods are able to move in and out of a country with less hindrances. Tariffs are no longer as high and this has spurred companies to trade across borders to take advantage of new markets that do not increase their costs of selling.

B to 4.

With technology being applied to transportation, shipping has been made easier and faster and has also improved access to markets. Since World War II, the world has become smaller due to vessels capable for circumnavigating the world at a fraction of the time that they used to. Now vehicles like cargo planes and bullet trains can carry goods faster and at a cheaper rate thus inspiring people to keep trading.

C to 2

With Investment Barriers being lifted, entities in one country now have easier access to Investment opportunities in another. People and companies who had resources sitting ideal have now found new markets to invest in. This has improved those markets as well as giving wealth to the investors in a sort of win win situation.

D to 3

Computing since the days of the second World War and now are so Stark in difference that people then would probably view computing now as unfathomable. With this growth in computer processing, people around the world are able to trade faster and more efficiently with goods now at the tip of their fingers. Even stocks in Tokyo can easily be traded on by people in Cairo and in Alaska you can order a good from Sri Lanka. This accessibility has greatly improved trade.

c. What is the value of a call option with a $68 exercise price?
d. What is the intrinsic value?
e. What is the value of a put option with a $76 exercise price?
f. What is the intrinsic value?

Answers

Answer:

a) Call option = Stock price - present value of the exercise price

= $87 – [$76 ÷ 1.05]

= $14.62

b) The intrinsic value is the amount by which the stock price exceeds the exercise price of the call, so the intrinsic value is

= $87 - $76

=$11

c) Call option = Stock price - present value of the exercise price

= $87 – [$68 ÷ 1.05]

= $22.24

d) The intrinsic value is the amount by which the stock price exceeds the exercise price of the call, so the intrinsic value is

= $87 - $68

=$ 19.

e) The value of the put option is $0 because there's no chance the put exhausts the money.

f) The intrinsic value is also $0

On January 1, 2009, a U.S. firm made an investment in Germany that will generate $5 million annually in depreciation, converted at the current spot rate. Projected annual rates of inflation in Germany and in the United States are 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The real exchange rate is expected to remain constant, and the German tax rate is 50 percent. Required: Calculate the expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013. Assume that the tax write-off is taken at the end of the year.

Answers

Answer:

The expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013 will be $1,958,815.416.

Explanation:

It is expected that the value of the dollar in the German market will fall at the same rate as that of the real market value of the dollar when we envisage the exchange rate will remain the same. Thus the depreciation of the tax write-off in terms of its real value in dollars will fall at 5% every year from 2009 to 2013.

Therefore, at a tax rate of 50% in Germany, a $2.5 million charge on depreciation on the investment of $5 million will result in 2013.

To calculate the real value of the dollar at an inflation of 5% yearly in 2013

When the tax rate in German is 50%, then charges of depreciation of $5 million will equal4$2.5 million in 2013 dollars. When the dollar's real value of this write-off is declining due to the inflation at 5% annually, the real value in 2013 will be calculated as:

Given: $2,500,000 (P/F , 5%, 5years) ;  0.78356 (factor for calculating the amount to be recieved after  5years)

= $2,500,000 * 0.78356

= $1,958,815.416

NewTech Incorporated management plans on paying the company's first dividend of $2.00 three years from today (D3 = $2.00) on its' common stock. After year three the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. As an investor with a required rate of return of 15%, what would you pay for NewTech common stock today?

Answers

Answer:

Stock price today = $13.807

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return

This principle can be applied as follows:

The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return

Step 1 : Compute the PV in year 3 of future dividend

PV = D× (1+g)/r-g

D- div in year 3, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return

PV in year 3 = 2× (1.05)/0.15-0.05

                   = 21

Step 2: PV in year in year 0

PV = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-n)

r-rate of return- 15%, n- number of years- 3

    =  21 × 1.15^(-3)

    =13.80784088

Stock price today = $13.807

Stock A has an expected return of 17.8 percent, and Stock B has an expected return of 9.6 percent. However, the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B. If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio, what would be the portfolio's expected return

Answers

Answer:

13.70%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is said to be the weighted average of the returns of the individual components,

Given that:

Stock A has an expected return = 17.8%

Stock B has an expected return = 9.6%

the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B.

If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio;

Then :

The weight of both stocks will be 50% : 50 %

So the  portfolio's expected return can be determined as follows:

Expected return for stock A  = 50% × 17.8%

Expected return = 0.50 × 17.8%

Expected return = 8.9 %

Expected return for stock B = 50 % × 9.6 %

Expected return for stock B = 0.50 × 9.6%

Expected return for stock B = 4.8%

Expected return of the portfolio = summation of the expected return for both stocks

Expected return of the portfolio = 8.9 %  + 4.8%

Expected return of the portfolio =  13.70%

The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:__________

Answers

Answer:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated machine-hours= 20,000

The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9 per machine-hour.

The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $600,000.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (600,000/20,000) + 9

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour

QS 3-7 Adjusting prepaid (deferred) expenses LO P1 For each separate case, record the necessary adjusting entry. On July 1, Lopez Company paid $2,900 for six months of insurance coverage. No adjustments have been made to the Prepaid Insurance account, and it is now December 31. Zim Company has a Supplies account balance of $8,400 at the beginning of the year. During the year, it purchased $3,700 of supplies. As of December 31, a physical count of supplies shows $1,650 of supplies available. Prepare the year-end adjusting entries to reflect expiration of the insurance and correctly report the balance of the Supplies account and the Supplies Expense account as of December 31.

Answers

Answer:

Adjusting Journal Entries:

December 31:

Debit Insurance Expense $2,900

Credit Prepaid Insurance Account $2,900

To record the insurance expense for the year.

Debit Supplies Expense $10,450

Credit Supplies Account $10,450

To record the supplies expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) The whole portion of Prepaid Insurance has expired since payment was made for 6 months on July 1.  This covers the period from July 1 to December 31.

b) The total supplies inventory for the year will be $12,100 ($8,400 + 3,700).  Since the physical count shows $1,650 of supplies available, it means that the difference $10,450 ($12,100 - 1,650) had been used.   This portion is therefore expensed in accordance with the accrual concept.

The common stock of Buildwell Conservation & Construction Inc. (BCCI) has a beta of .9. The Treasury bill rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. BCCI’s capital structure is 30% debt, paying an interest rate of 5%, and 70% equity. The debt sells at par. Buildwell pays tax at 40%.
a. What is BCCI’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
Cost of equity capital %
b. What is its WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC %

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity is 11.2%

WACC is 8.74%

Explanation:

The formula for cost of equity is given below:

Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)

risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%

Beta is 0.9

market risk premium is 8%

cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)

Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%

Kd is the cost of debt of 5%

t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7

D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3

V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1

WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)

WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

       

(5). The variance of Stock A is .005, the variance of the market is .008 and the covariance between the two is .0026. What is the correlation coefficient

Answers

Answer:

0.4110

Explanation:

The formula and computation of the correlation coefficient is shown below:

Correlation co-efficient = Covariance ÷ (Standard deviation of market × Standard deviation of Stock A)

where,

Covariance between the two = 0.0026

Variance of the stock A = 0.005

And, the variance of the market is 0.008

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the correlation coefficient is

= 0.0026 ÷ (0.008 × 0.005)^0.50

= 0.0026 ÷ 0.006324555

= 0.411096096

= 0.4110

Hence, the correlation coefficient is 0.4110

During 2022, Bramble Corp. reported cash provided by operations of $778000, cash used in investing of $672000, and cash used in financing of $186000. In addition, cash spent on fixed assets during the period was $270000. Average current liabilities were $637000 and average total liabilities were $1682000. No dividends were paid. Based on this information, what was Bramble free cash flow

Answers

Answer:

Bramble free cash flow was $508,000

Explanation:

Cash provided by operations = $778,000

Cash used in investing = $672,000

Cash used in financing = $186,000

Cash spent on fixed assets during the period = $270,000

Average current liabilities = $637,000

Average total liabilities = $1,682,000

Free cash flow = Cash flow from operating activities - Capital expenditures

= $778,000 - $270,000

= $508,000

At December 31, 2020, the loss that Oriole should recognize is

Answers

Answer:

At December 31, 2020, the loss that Oriole should recognize is $123,000

Explanation:

Given:

Estimated selling price = $ 1,050,000

Estimated cost of disposal = $43,000

Normal profit margin = $123,000

Current replacement cost = $927,000

Net realizable value of the inventory = Estimated selling price - Estimated cost of disposal

Net realizable value = $1,050,000 - $43,000 = $1,007,000

Replacement cost = $927,000

Net realizable value - Normal profit = $1,007,000  - $123,000 = $884,000

The replacement cost will be taken as the market value of the inventory because it is higher than the floor (net realizable value - normal profit) and lower than ceiling (net realizable value).

Cost of inventory = $1,007,000

Loss to be recognized using lower of cost or market rule  = Cost - market value

= $1,007,000 - $884,000 = $123,000

Consider the following cost function. a. Find the average cost and marginal cost functions. b. Determine the average and marginal cost when xequalsa. c. Interpret the values obtained in part​ (b)

Answers

Answer:

a) Average Cost function = 0.1 + (1000/x)

Marginal Cost function = 0.1

b) At x = a = 2000

Average Cost = 0.6

Marginal Cost = 0.1

c) The average cost calculate at x = 2000 in (b) represents the average cost of producing the first 2000 units of product and the marginal cost calculated at x = 2000 in (b) represents the cost of producing the 2001th unit of product.

Explanation:

The complete question

Consider the following cost functions.

a. Find the average cost and marginal cost functions.

b. Determine the average and marginal cost when x=a.

c. Interpret the values obtained in part (b).

C(x)=1000+0.1x, 0≤x≤5000, a=2000

Solution

a) The average cost is given as the total cost divided by the quantity produced.

A(x) = C(x) ÷ x

C(x) = 1000 + 0.1x

A(x) = (1000 + 0.1x) ÷ x = (1000/x) + 0.1

A(x) = 0.1 + (1000/x)

The marginal cost is given as the first derivative of the cost function with respect to the quantity of products produced.

M(x) = (dC/dx)

C(x) = 1000 + 0.1x

M(x) = (d/dx) (1000 + 0.1x) = 0.1

b) To calculate these values at x = a = 2000

Average cost at x = 2000

A(x) = 0.1 + (1000/x) = 0.1 + (1000/2000) = 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.6

Marginal Cost at x = 2000

M(x) = 0.1

c) The average cost is the cost per unit of producing a particular quantity of product.

The marginal cost is the cost of producing an extra unit of product.

Hence, the average cost calculate at x = 2000 in (b) represents the average cost of producing the first 2000 units of product and the marginal cost calculated at x = 2000 in (b) represents the cost of producing the 2001th unit of product.

On January 1, Year 1, Li Company purchased an asset that cost $35,000. The asset had an expected useful life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $7,000. Li uses the straight-line method for the recognition of depreciation expense. At the beginning of the fourth year, the company revised its estimated salvage value to $3,500. What is the amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4

Answers

Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 is $7,350

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 we would have to calculate first the Depreciation as per straight line method as follows:

Depreciation as per straight line method=(Cost-Residual value)/Useful life

=($35,000-$7,000)/5=$5,600

Hence, book value as on  beginning of the fourth year=$35,000-($5,600*3)=$18,200

Hence, depreciation revised for the 2 remaining years=($18,200-$3,500)/2

=$7,350

The amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 is $7,350
