Answer:
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Value of convertible bond=93%*1,000=$930
Value of straight bond=63%*1,000=$630
Value of warrants=$300
Hence, number of warrants per bond=$1,000/$45
number of warrants per bond=22
Therefore, price of one warrant=$300/22
price of one warrant=$13.63
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
upino Products provides the foundational data for this problem given that the unit product costs at a normal level of 5,000 units per month and selling price of $90 are as follows: Manufacturing costs: Direct materials............................................... $ 35 Direct labor...................................................... 12 Variable overhead............................................ 8 Fixed overhead (total for year = $300,000)...... 5 Selling and Admin costs: Variable............................................................ $ 15 Fixed (total for year = $480,000)...................... 8 This product is sold at a rate of 60,000 units per year. It is predicted that a price increase of $98 will decrease volume by 10%. An advertising campaign is proposed to support the price increase. How much can advertising expense be spent to support the price increase and without having operating income fall below the current levels?
Answer:
Available for advertizing campaing 480,000
Explanation:
First we calculate the current operating income:
sales price less all uniit operating cost
90 - 35 - 12 - 8 - 5 - 15 - 8 = 7
$7 x 60,000 units = $420,000 operating income
Now we calculate the new contribution margin and operating income
materials + labor + variable overhead + variable sale = total variable
35 + 12 + 8 + 15 = 70
new contribution margin per unit
98 - 70 = 28
sales 60,000 units less 10% = 54,000 units
contribution margin
28 x 54,000 = 1,512,000
Fixed overhead 300,000
Fixed selling and adming 480,000
operating income 732,000
Potential contribution from additional sales:
6,000 units x $28 = 168,000
Less: before raising income (420,000)

Answer:
Explanation:
Statement showing calculation of current income
Particulars Amount
Sales (60000x90) $5400000
Less Material cost (60000x$35) $2100000
Less: labour cost (60000x$12) $720000
Less: Variable Overhead(60000x$8) $480000
Less: Variable selling and admin Exp.(60000x$15) $900000
Less: Fixed overhead $300000
Less: Fixed selling and admin expenses $480000
Net inome $420000
Proposed increase in Selling price = $98/unit
Resultant decrease in production = 10%X60000 = 6000 units
Revised income = 54000(98-35-12-8-15) - 300000 - 480000
= $732000
Maximum amount that can be spent on advertising so as to manitain the current level of income of $420000 is $312000 (i.e., $732000-$420000).
A roofing company collects fees when jobs are complete. The work for one customer, whose job was bid at $3,900, has been completed as of December 31, but the customer has not yet been billed. Assuming adjustments are only made at year-end, what is the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end?
Answer:
Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;
Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3,900
Explanation:
Here, no cash transaction was involved. Since the job has been completed but the customer has not been billed yet, this simply means it has to be debited with accounts receivable, which is recognised as current asset and recognised as revenue for the period, hence needs to be credited.
This means that accounts receivable has to be debited with the amount of $3,900 while roofing fees revenue has to be credited with the amount of $3,900
Considering the above, the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end would be:
Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;
Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3.900

According to the Fair Value framework and to the lecture, what should companies try to do?
a. Offer fair value on all three bundles.
b. Offer better than fair value on all three bundles.
c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle.
Answer:
c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle
Explanation:
According to the Fair Value framework companies should try to Offer fair value on two bundles and as well try to offer better than fair value on the other bundle which simply means that in a situation where their are two bundles companies should tend to offer fair value on them and they should as well offer something that is far better than fair value on other bundle.
Therefore Fair value can be seen as an estimated price in which either asset or liability can be sold out or settled to a third party under recent and current market conditions.

How are the project management processes that surround Scrum similar to and different to how the project management processes surround a project life cycle like SDLC (Waterfall)? Describe how the hybrid approach would make sense or not make sense for either your organization or an organization that you are familiar with.
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
There are several similarities between the project management processes which surround scrum to the traditional project management processes which surrounds a project life cycle such as Waterfall. When one looks at each iteration as a project, one will see that Scrum planning meeting will be identical to planning meeting of the traditional project.
The daily standups in scrum will resemble the monitoring and the controlling of traditional waterfall with the exception that in scrum, its team monitors itself. A sprint would be the execution stage while the sprint review will be like project closure lessons that are learned. Sprint can be seen as small waterfall model project.
However, the main difference is in the scrum's team mindset versus the team of the traditional project management. Also, the process of work defining as being completed is different for the teams. Lastly, the method used by the scrum team in its approaches to work, team collaboration, responsibility acceptance, tasks definition and accountability are different from the traditional project management team.
A hybrid approach will be sensible in a large organization which has pockets of power. This is true for large retails that have old legacy systems in which frequent deployments aren't possible.
This is true for systems in which, testing can't be automated due to the fact that automated testing is a vital part for success for large scrum projects. In such organizations, it is sensible to use scrum for the teams which are able to move to scrum and waterfall can be used for other parts of the organization.

MFG Manufacturing sells a product for $40 per unit. The production cost of the product is $21 per unit: direct materials of $8, direct labor of $7, variable overhead of $4 and fixed overhead of $2. The fixed overhead per unit comes from dividing $500,000 of fixed factory overhead by 250,000 units produced. In addition, MFG pays $3 for shipping each unit sold. Finally, MFG has fixed costs outside the factory (such as office building depreciation and salaries) that total $200,000 per year. Assuming breakeven in units was correctly computed to be 20,000 units, breakeven in dollars is:
Answer:
Break-even sales =$800,000
Explanation:
The break-even sales is the amount of revenue that a business must generate that would equate its total costs to total revenue. At the break even sales, the contribution is exactly to total iced cost, and the business makes no profit or loss
Break-even (units) = Total general fixed cost /(selling price- variable cost)
Break-even sales = Break-even (in units) × Selling price
Break-even sales = 20,000 × $40 =$800,000
Break-even sales=$800,000

Bob, proprietor of Bob's Burgers, would like to retire in 20 years. He plans to deposit $6500 at the end of each year for the next 20 years into an account expected to earn 7.5% compounded annually. How much will Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit
Answer:
$281,480
Explanation:
we need to find the future value of the annuity payments, we can use the future value of annuity formula (I couldn't find an annuity table for 7.5%):
future value = annual payment x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r
annual payment = $6,500r = 7.5%n = 20 yearsfuture value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075 = $6,500 x 43.30468 = $281,480
The amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.
Future value:Using this formula
Future value =Annual payment x [(1 + Interest rate)^Number of years - 1] / Interest rate
Where:
Annual payment = $6,500
Interest rate = 7.5% or 0.075
Number of years= 20 years
Let plug in the formula
Future value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(1 .075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(4.24785) - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [3.24785]/ 0.075
Future value = $6,500 x 43.30467
Future value= $281,480
Inconclusion the amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.

Agency theory presents some important managerial considerations. Broadly speaking, governance mechanisms need to assure alignment of incentives between principals and agents. The text provides an example of financial institutions in the situation of profits remaining within the firm while losses are paid by the public as a description of:________.A) a board of directors' problem.B) a challenge of information symmetry.C) a moral hazard problem.D) a private information problem.E) an adverse selection problem.
Answer: a moral hazard problem
Explanation:
Agency theory is a principle used to explain and resolve the issues in the relationship that exists between business principals and their agents. The relationship is usually the one between the shareholders who act as the principals, and the company executives who act as the agents.
When banks are bailed out through public funds for the excessive risky mortgage obligations or undue risk taking, this lead to increase in moral hazard. The gains of successful risk taking will stay with the private firm and the risks would be shared with the other parties.
Consider a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then: the price elasticity of supply will increase. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one. the price elasticity of supply will be constant. none of the above
Answer:
The answer is: the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive
Explanation:
The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.
Price elasticity of supply is the ratio of percentage change in quantity supplied of a good to percentage change in price of the good.
The upward shift of supply curve tells us that supply often decreases when the costs of production increase, so producers need to set a higher price inorder to cover the higher cost of inputs(cost of production) and vice-versa for the downward shift.
So considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.
Note: A high price tells producers that a good is in demand and they should make more and vice-versa
The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.
Correct option is C.
"the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive."
So, considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.

The total value of purchases = (16 × $22) + ( 29 × $2) + (24 × $24)= $1,595
The cost of goods sold can worked out as follows:
Nov 4th - 9 × $22 = 198
Nov 17th - 17× $23 = 391
Cost of goods sold = (198+ 391 )=$ 589
Cost of goods sold $ 589

Explanation:
Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost
Machine related (machine-hours) $256,520
Batch setup (setups) $261,360
General factory (direct labour-hours) $178,560
Expected Activity
Activities Product X Product Y Total
Machine related 4,300 6,300 10,600
Batch setup 8,600 1,300 9,900
General factory 3,300 6,300 9,600
The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:
Machine related = (4,300 × $256,520) ÷ 10,600 = $104,060
Batch setup = (8,600 × $261,360) ÷ 9,900 = $227,040
General factory = (3,300 × $178,560) ÷ 9,600 = $61,380

Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $3.65 and $2.66 over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 3.3 percent. What is the stock price today if the required return is 12.3 percent
Answer:
The stock price today is $ 29.56
Explanation:
Dividend for year 1, d₁ = $ 3.65
Dividend for year 2, d₂ = $ 2.66
Required rate = 12.3% = 0.123
Growth rate = 3.3% = 0.033
Value after year 2= (d₂ × Growth rate) ÷ (Required rate - Growth rate)
= (2.66 × 1.033) ÷ (0.123 - 0.033)
=30.5308889
Hence current price = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
= (3.65÷1.123) + (2.66÷[tex]1.123^2[/tex] ) + (30.5308889 ÷[tex]1.123^2[/tex] )
=$29.56

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided you, the newly hired finance manager, with the following ratios:
1. Current ratio 4.5 Industry norm 4.0
2. Quick ratio 2.0 Industry norm 3.1
3. Inventory turnover 6.0 Industry norm 10.4
4. Average collection period 73 days Industry norm 52 days
5. Average payment period 31 days Industry norm 40 days
Discuss · In your opinion, what do these ratios indicate about Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.?
A. What recommendations would you make based on these ratios?
B. What results do you think you can achieve if your recommendations are followed?
C. Why might your recommendations not be effective?
Answer:
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.
1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:
The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0. This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly. This is supported by the the remaining four ratios. Inventory level is not optimal. More inventory is held without being sold to customers. Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina. Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management. Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices. More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm. In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average. Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers. Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.
2A. Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:
1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.
2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.
3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account. This activity should be taken seriously. Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.
4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.
2B. Results from Recommendations:
1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.
2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time. Delay increases credit default.
3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover. The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.
4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.
Explanation:
Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.
Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management. Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.
