Statement of Retained Earnings
For the Month Ended on August 31, 202X
Retained earnings at the beginning of the period: $0
Net income: $10,410
Dividends: ($6,020)
Retained earnings at the end of the period $4,390
Explanation:
Balance Sheet
Assets:
Cash $25,370
Accounts receivable $22,370
Office supplies $5,260
Land $44,010
Office equipment $20,020
Total assets: $117,030
Liabilities and Equity:
Accounts payable $10,540
Common stock $102,100
Total liabilities and equity: $112,640
Retained earnings ⇒ assets - (liabilities + equity) = $117,030 - $112,640 = $4,390
Another way to calculate retained earnings = net income - dividends = $10,410 - $6,020 = $4,390
Dividends 6,020
A company's beginning Work in Process inventory consisted of 21,500 units that were 20% complete with respect to direct labor. These beginning units were completed and another 92,400 units were started during the current period. Of those started, 61,500 were finished and the remaining 30,900 were 40% complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were:
Answer:95,360 units.
Explanation:The equivalent unit of production shows the quantity of work done by a manufacturing company on units of output partially completed at the end of a period.
Equivalent units of production =Units completed(work n progress at beginning + finished goods)+Ending work in progess
=(21,500+61, 500)+(30,900×40%)
=83,000 + 12,360
=95,360 units.
The equivalent units of production for conversion is 95,000 units.
You just agreed to a deal that will make you the proud new owner of a beautiful new convertible. The car comes with a three-year warranty. Please consider the purchase of the extended warranty which has a purchase price of $1,800, today (the day you purchased your NEW car). The extended warranty covers the 4 years immediately after the three-year warranty expires. You estimate that the yearly expenses that would have been covered by the extended warranty are $400 at the end of the first year of the extension, $500 as the end of the second year of the extension, $600 at the end of the third year of the extension, and $800 at the end of the fourth year of the extension. Assume that money during this time can earn interest at a rate of 7% compounded monthly. Will you decide to buy the warranty? Your formal solutions should include:______.1. The overall goal and/or purpose
2. The given information
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
4. The present value for each of the repair costs
5. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
6. Your conclusion
Answer:
1. The overall goal and/or purpose
The overall goal of this analysis is to determine if you would actually save money by purchasing the extended warranty.
2. The given information
You can calculate this by determining the present value of the expected repair costs that will be covered by the warranty and determine which is higher; the warranty or the repairs
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
initial investment -$1,800cash flow year 4 = $400cash flow year 5 = $500cash flow year 6 = $600cash flow year 7 = $8004. The present value for each of the repair costs
the discount rate is 7%, so the present value of each repair cost is:
PV cash flow year 4 = $400 / 1.07⁴ = $305PV cash flow year 5 = $500 / 1.07⁵ = $356PV cash flow year 6 = $600 / 1.07⁶ = $400PV cash flow year 7 = $800 / 1.07⁷ = $498total $1,5595. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
the present value of the warranty is $1,800, so the car company is making $1,800 - $1,559 = $241 in profits by selling you the warranty
6. Your conclusion
You shouldn't buy the extended warranty (negative NPV)
Andrew Manufacturing held an average inventory of $1.1 million (raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods) last year. Its sales were $8.0 million, and its cost of goods sold was $5.8 million. The firm operates 260 days a year. What is the inventory day’s supply? What target inventory level is necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years?
Answer:
The Inventory day's supply is 49.3 days supply
The Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply is $ 0.446 million
The Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply is $ 0.223 million
Explanation:
In order to calculate the inventory day’s supply we would have to calculate the following:
Inventory day's supply = (Average inventory / Cost of goods sold) * 260 days a year
Inventory day's supply = 1.1/5.8)*260
Inventory day's supply = 49.3 days supply
To calculate the target inventory level necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years we would have to calculate the following:
Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply = (20/260)*5.8 = $ 0.446 million
Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply = (10/260)*5.8 = $ 0.223 million

Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.
Answer:
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219
Explanation:
In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:
manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time
value added time= 40 min
throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time
throughput time=40+5+15+2+120
throughput time=182 min
Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182
manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219

Piper is a manager in a corporation that was organized in Canada by one of his former coworkers. The company provides consulting services and training for architects employed by construction companies. The company recently went public, with shares being sold to hundreds of investors. Piper’s company would be a __________ corporation.
Answer:
A Public company.
Explanation:
A public company can be described as a commercial organization that has its share capital formed by shares, that is, the company sells its shares to the public, who become partners in the company.
The shares of a public company are traded on the stock exchange freely, without the need for any type of public bookkeeping.
The company's shareholders can be composed of any type of person who is interested in buying shares in the company.
Private companies generally become public because of the possibility of obtaining capital, which generates greater revenue for the company and greater possibility for growth and investment in business.
If your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected performance, what fraction of your portfolio should be allocated to T-bills and what fraction to equity? Assume your utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2
Answer:
=> fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 0.4482 = 44.82%.
=> fraction to equity = 0.5518 = 55.18%.
Explanation:
So, in this question or problem we are given the following parameters or data or information which are; that the utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2 and the risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4.
The fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills and its equivalent fraction to equity can be calculated by using the formula below;
The first step is to determine or Calculate the value of fraction to equity.
Hence, the fraction to equity = risk premium/(market standard deviation)^2 - risk aversion.
= 8.10% ÷ [(20.48%)^2 × 3.5 = 0.5518.
Therefore, the value for fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 1 - fraction to equity = 1 - 0.5518 =0.4482 .
Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for January. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for January. Pasadena Candle Inc. Direct Labor Cost Budget For the Month Ending January 31 Hours required for assembly: Candles min. Convert minutes to hours ÷ min. Molding hours hrs. Hourly rate × $ Total direct labor cost
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = 6/60 =0.1 (note there are 60 minutes in an hour)
Direct labour budget = 785,000 × 0.1× 18 = $1,413,000.
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Before year-end adjusting entries, Marigold Corp.'s account balances at December 31, 2020, for accounts receivable and the related allowance for uncollectible accounts were $1540000 and $91500, respectively. An aging of accounts receivable indicated that $123000 of the December 31 receivables are expected to be uncollectible. The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment is

= $1,417,000.
The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment is $1,417,000
A firm's bonds have a maturity of 14 years with a $1,000 face value, have an 8% semiannual coupon, are callable in 7 years at $1,073.00, and currently sell at a price of $1,135.93. What are their nominal yield to maturity and their nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
YTM = 6.51%
YTC = 6.40%
Explanation:
We need to solve using excel goal seek or bond formulas to generate the yield (interest rate) which matches the future couponb and maturity payment with the current selling price of the bond:
Present value of the coupon
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000 (1,000 x 8% / 2 payment per year)
time 28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.032529972 (generate using goal seek tool)
[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0325299719911398)^{-28} }{0.0325299719911398} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $727.8688
Pv of the maturity (lump sum)
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 28.00
rate 0.032529972
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0325299719911398)^{28} } = PV[/tex]
PV 408.06
PV c $727.8688
PV m $408.0612
Total $1,135.9300
As this is a semiannual rate we multiply it by 2
0.032529972 x 2 = 0.065059944 = 6.51%
We repeat the procedure with changing the time and end-value to adjust for the callabe conditions:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000
time 14 (7 years x 2 payment per year)

[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0320151313225188)^{-14} }{0.0320151313225188} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $445.6984
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,073.00 (call price)
time 14.00
rate 0.032015131
[tex]\frac{1073}{(1 + 0.0320151313225188)^{14} } = PV[/tex]
PV 690.23
PV c $445.6984
PV m $690.2316
Total $1,135.9300
Againg his will be a semiannual rate so we multiply by two:
0.032015131 x 2 = 0.064030263 = 6.40%

You are hired by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) as an economic consultant. The Chairperson of the CEA tells you that she believes the current unemployment rate is too high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. She wants to know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by $500 billion. The best estimate she has for the MPC is 0.5. Which of the following policies should you recommend? Why?
A) increase government purchases by $200 billion B) increase government purchases by $250 billion C) cut taxes by $200 billion D) cut taxes by $200 billion and to increase government purchases by $200 billion
Answer:
Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)
I would recommend this policy to increase aggregate output:
B) increase government purchases by $250 billion
Explanation:
To increase aggregate output (GDP) by $500 billion, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, government, given the best estimate for the MPC as 0.5, it would be to increase government purchases by $250 billion. The MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.
By increasing government purchases by $250 billion, the ripple effect would ginger industries to generate more output, thereby increasing the factors that affect aggregate output. These actions would then increase aggregate output by more than $500 billion. This choice is made because government spending is funded from taxes, making government unable to cut taxes.
Economists define aggregate output as "the sum of all the goods and services produced in an economy over a certain period of time." Aggregate output is an economy's total productivity or GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The factors that determine aggregate output include household wealth, consumer and business expectations, capacity utilization, monetary policy, fiscal policy, exchange rates, and foreign GDP.
The equation for calculating aggregate output, which expands the GDP by showing price level, is given as "Y = Y ad = C + I + G + NX tells us that aggregate output (or aggregate income) is equal to aggregate demand, which in turn is equal to consumer expenditure plus investment (planned, physical stuff) plus government spending plus net exports (exports – imports)."

You are considering an investment in a clothes distributer. The company needs $ 110 comma 000 today and expects to repay you $ 121 comma 000 in a year from now. What is the IRR of this investment opportunity? Given the riskiness of the investment opportunity, your cost of capital is 17 %. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should invest?
Answer:
The IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
The IRR rule says that you should not invest
Explanation:
To calculate the IRR of this investment opportunity we shall calculate the following:
Let the IRR be x.
Now , Present Value of Cash Outflows=Present Value of Cash Inflows
110,000 =121,000/(1.0x)
x= 10%
Hence, the IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
Cost of Capital = 17%
The IRR rule says that one must not accept. This is because the IRR is lower than the cost of capital.
Hence you should not invest
atton Company purchased $1,500,000 of 10% bonds of Scott Company on January 1, 2021, paying $1,410,375. The bonds mature January 1, 2031; interest is payable each July 1 and January 1. The discount of $89,625 provides an effective yield of 11%. Patton Company uses the effective-interest method and plans to hold these bonds to maturity. On July 1, 2021, Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by__________ and credit its Interest Revenue account by __________.
Answer:
Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by $2,571 and credit its Interest Revenue account by $155,283

= Sales volume × contribution margin ratio - additional spending done on the direct mail advertising
= $45,000 × 40% - $7,000
= $18,000 - $7,000
= $11,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the monthly increase in operating income could be determined.
Frank Barlowe is retiring soon, so he is concerned about his investments providing him with a steady income every year. He is aware that if interest rates , the potential earnings power of the cash flow from his investments will increase. In particular, he is concerned that a decline in interest rates might lead to annual income from his investments. What kind of risk is Frank most concerned about protecting against? Reinvestment rate risk Interest rate risk
Answer:
Increase
less
A) Reinvestment rate risk.
Explanation:
Reinvestment rate risk is demonstrated as the type of financial risk in which the investor is concerned about his investment getting canceled or stopped in the future and the other party/place might not be able to provide a similar rate of return.
In the given situation, Frank Barlowe is concerned about reinvestment risk. He is aware that he will earn a steady income from his investments as he knows that when the interest rates increase, his potential returns would increase and vice versa. But since he is retiring, he has a potential concern that if the investment gets abandoned somehow, he might not be able to reinvest his amount at the same rate and will not be able to continue with steady returns. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 116,000 $ 58,000 $ 174,000 Variable expenses 35,800 7,700 43,500 Contribution margin $ 80,200 $ 50,300 130,500 Fixed expenses 83,250 Net operating income $ 47,250 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company? 2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales? 3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Claimjumper Makeover
Total Sales:
Claimjumper= $116,000
Makeover= $58,000
Total= $174,000
Variable expenses:
Claimjumper= $35,800
Makeover= $7,700
Total= $43,500
Contribution margin:
Claimjumper= $80,200
Makeover= $50,300
Total= $130,500
Fixed expenses 83,250
Sales proportion:
Claimjumper= 116,000/174,000= 0.67
Makeover= 58,000/174,000= 0.33
Variable cost proportion:
Claimjumper= 35,800/43,500= 0.82
Makeover= 7,700/43,500= 0.18
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for the company:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)/ weighted average selling price
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 130,500/174,000
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 83,250/0.75
Break-even point (dollars)= $111,000
Finally, we structure the income statement:
Sales= 111,000
Total variable costs= (111,000*0.25)= (27,750)
Income statement:
Sales:
Claimjumper= 111,000*0.67= 74,370
Makeover= 111,000*0.33= 36,630
Variable costs:
Claimjumper= 27,750*0.82= (22,755)
Makeover= 27,750*0.18= (4,995)
Contribution margin= 83,250
Fixed costs= 83,250
Net operating income= 0

Explanation:
To make thge jounral entries we must follow the basic principles:
debit = credit
and one value per account
Is important to comment that A state the income has been earned so we deduct from account recievables
then. we again receive cash for service earned
In none ofthe case we are doing the recognition of hte deferred revenue so this, stays untouched.
G) 19,900 x $13 each = $258,700
half cash-half credit : 258,700 / 2 = 129,350
Assume straight-line depreciation. A company plans to purchase machinery costing $1,000,000 with salvage value of $200,000 after 4 years. After-tax net income is expected to be $55,000, $40,000, $35,000, and $30,000 during the 4 years. Calculate the accounting rate of return. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return (ARR) is the proportion of the average investment that is earned as profit.
ARR = average operating income/ Average investment
Average income =( 55,000 + 40,000 + 35,000 + 30,000)/4=40,000
Average investment = initial cost + salvage value/2
= 1,000,000 + 200,000/2 = 600,000
ARR = 40,000/600,000 × 100= 6.67
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Answer:
6.7%
