Howard Company has two support departments (S1 and S2) and two producing departments (P1 and P2). Department S1 costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and Department S2 costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied expressed in square feet.
Data on direct department costs, number of employees, and space occupied are as follows:
S1
S2
P1
P2
Direct dept. costs
$7,500
$11,000

If Howard used the reciprocal method, the algebraic equation expressing the total costs allocated from S1 is
Select one:
a. S1 = $7,500 + 0.10S2.
b. S1 = $7,500 + 0.20S2.
c. S1 = $10,000 + 0.20S2.
d. S1 = $10,000 + 0.10S2.
Answer: S1 = $ 7500 + 0.20 S2
Explanation:
From the question, Howard Company has two support departments which are (S1 and S2) and two producing departments which are (P1 and P2). The department S1 costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the department S2 costs are allocated on basis of space occupied expressed in square feet.
The algebraic equation expressing the total costs allocated from S1 is calculated as follow:
S1 Direct Cost = $ 7500
The cost of S2 will be allocated to S1 based on the space occupied and the total space that is occupied is:
= 1000 + 1500 + 2500
= 5000 sq ft
Space occupied by S1 = 1000
S2’s cost allocated to S1 will be:
= (1000 / 5000) of S2 cost
= 0.20 S2
Therefore the correct option is:
S1 = $ 7500 + 0.20 S2
Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next 11 years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will then pay a dividend of $13.75 per share 12 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5.5 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 13.5 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$42.69
Explanation:
From the question above Metallica Bearings Inc. is expected to pay a dividend of $13.75 pet share for a period of 12 years
The dividend will increase by 5.5 percent per year
= 5.5/100
= 0.055
The required rate of return is 13.5 percent
= 13.5/100
= 0.135
The first step is to calculate the price at 11 years
Price at 11 years= 13.75/ 0.135-0.055
= 13.75/0.08
= $171.87
The next step in to find the current price by applying the following formular
Current share price= Future value/ (1+r)^n
= $171.875/ (1+0.135)^11
= $171.87/ 1.135^11
= $171.87/ 4.026
= $42.69
Current share price= $42.69
Hence the current share price is $42.69
Valuable Incorporated's stock currently sells for $45 per share. The firm has 20 million share of common outstanding. The firm's total debt equals $600 million and its common equity equals $400 million. What is the firm's market value added
Answer:
The firm's market value added is $500,000,000
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Stock market price per share= $ 45
No of shares= 20,000,000
Therefore, Market value of equity = MPS * no of shares
$45*20,000,000= $ 900,000,000
Invested capital or common equity = $400,000,000
Therefore, in order to calculate the firm's market value added we would have to make the following calculation:
Market value added = Market value of stock - invested capital
Market value added =$900,000,000 -$400,000,000
Market value added =$500,000,000
The firm's market value added is $500,000,000

how all calculations: Palmer Inc. currently produces 110,000 units at a cost of $440,000. Next year Palmer Inc. expects to produce 115,000 units. Palmer’s relevant range is 100,000 to 120,000 units. If the cost is variable and 115,000 units are produced, the total cost _____. Group of answer choices will decrease will increase to $460,000 will stay the same will be indeterminate
Answer:
Will increase to $460,000
Explanation:
Palmer Inc. currently produces 110,000 units at the rate of $440,000
Next year they are expected to produce 115,000 units
Since the cost is variable, the total cost can be calculated as
(440,000/110,000) × 115,000
= 4×115,000
= $460,000
Hence the total cost is $460,000
Baker Industries’ net income is $26,000, its interest expense is $6,000, and its tax rate is 45%. Its notes payable equals $23,000, long-term debt equals $70,000, and common equity equals $260,000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. What are the firm’s ROE and ROIC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
ROI=10%
ROIC=0.83
Explanation:
Net Income = $26,000
Interest expense = $6,000
Tax rate = 45%
Payable = $23,000
Long-term debt = $70,000
Common equity = $260,000
1. ROE = Net Income / Common equity
= 26,000 / 260,000
=0.1
=10%
2. ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital
EBIT = Net Income before tax + Interest
Net Income before tax = (Net income * 100) / (100-Tax rate)
Net Income before tax = 26000 * 100 / 100-45
=2600000 / 55
Net Income before tax = 47272.72
EBIT = 47272.72 + 6,000
=53272.72
Invested Capital = Note payable + Long term debt.+ Common Equity
=23000 +70000 +260000
=$353,000
Therefore ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital
ROIC= 53272.72 * (1-0.45) / 353,000
=53272.72*0.55 / 353,000
=292299.996/353,000
=0.8280
=0.83
ROIC= 0.83
Bill Casler bought a $2000, 9-month certificate of deposit (CD) that would earn 8% annual simple interest. Three months before the CD was due to mature, Bill needed his CD money, so a friend agreed to lend him money and receive the value of the CD when it matured.
Required:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend
Answer:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
$2,120b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend?
$2,068.29Explanation:
interests earned by the CD = $2,000 x 8% x 9/12 = $120
the value of the CD at maturity = $2,000 (principal) + $120 (interests) = $2,120
if the friend wanted to earn 10% on the loan, that is equivalent to 10% x 3/12 = 2.5% for the 3 months
the amount of money received by Bill from his friend = CD's maturity value / (1 + expected interest) = $2,120 / (1 + 2.5%) = $2,120 / 1.025 = $2,068.29
Mary offered to sell Mike several pieces of rare Chinese art at a very good price because they were duplicates in her own collection. Mike could not accept the offer at that time, but he did give Mary $500 in return for her promise to keep her offer open for three (3) weeks. Mike returned with the agreed-upon balance two weeks later to find that Mary already had sold the pieces she had offered to sell to him. Mary explained that she had been able to get a better price from another buyer. She offered to return Mike's $500 and insisted that this was all she was obligated to do. Is Mary right?
Answer: She is not.
Explanation:
It would seem as though that Mary got into a type of contract known as an Option Contract or more precisely, a Call Option Contract simply called a Call.
In this type on contract, a seller gives a buyer the right to buy a good or service at a certain price within a set period.
Mary agreed to sell the rare Chinese Art for a certain amount which Mike could not pay but she promised to give him 3 weeks to take it within which he can pay and collect the item.
Mike returned in 2 weeks which was within the range of time allowed and so she should have kept the offer open for the time she said she would.
She is wrong to believe that all she owes him is his down payment. She broke a contract.
Certain balance sheet accounts of a foreign subsidiary of the Rose Co. had been stated in U.S. dollars as follows: Stated at Current Rates Historical Rates Accounts receivable—current $ 280,000 $ 308,000 Accounts receivable—long term 140,000 154,000 Prepaid insurance 70,000 77,000 Goodwill 112,000 119,000 Totals $ 602,000 $ 658,000 If the subsidiary's local currency is its functional currency, what total amount should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars? $658,000. $609,000. $616,000. $602,000.
Answer:
$602,000
Explanation:
Since the foreign currency is the functional currency in this case, what is required to be done is the translation of the balance sheet accounts, not a remeasurement of the accounts.
The guiding principle is that when the financial statement of subsidiary is prepared using functional currency, assets and liabilities should be translated using the current rates.
Since $602,000 is the total using the current in the question, the total amount that should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars is therefore $602,000.
James is the landlord of an apartment containing 22 houses which are to be maintained by him and Lily is one of the tenants. In which of the following cases would the tenant be liable for an injury occurring on the leased premises?A) James was negligent in repairing the broken step on which Lily tripped and broke her ankle.B) Lily's nephew cut his finger with the knife that was negligently kept in Lily's kitchen.C) A little child at the apartment almost choked himself by consuming the paint that was chipping off the common wall between Lily's apartment and her neighbor's.D) The entire apartment caught fire and the fire extinguisher could not be used since it was installed only in Lily's rented house and she was out shopping.E) Lily's visitor got into the common lift in the apartment that suddenly crashed leading to severe injuries to Lily's visi
Answer: B) Lily's nephew cut his finger with the knife that was negligently kept in Lily's kitchen.
Explanation:
James as the landlord will be responsible for the structural or other defects of the house so long as it is the house that is the problem.
Activities that go on inside a tenants house that are caused by the actions of the tenants will not be a liability on the path of the landlord.
If an elevator is damaged or there weren't enough fire extinguishers or there was a broken step or poor quality paint was used, these are all defects related to the house itself and as such will result in negligence on the part of the landlord.
A child getting injured by a knife that Lily as a tenant left, in her apartment will.be the fault of Lily and the negligence can only be on her because it was due to actions by her as a tenant in her leased property.

Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The explanation has been attached.
It should be noted that:
Income tax expense = $448,000 × 29%
= $448,000 × 29/100
= $448,000 × 0.29
= $129,920
Other comprehensive income will be the unrealized holding gain on the security which will be:
= $89,000 × (100% - 29%)
= $89,000 × 71%
= $89,000 × 0.71
= $63,190

In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Answer:
D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Explanation:
The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input
The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other
i.e
Profit = Output - input
In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other
Hence, the correct option is D.
In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
Differential profit Profit = $40,000
Explanation:
The differential operating profit is the difference between the operating profit before the introduction of the product and after the introduction of the new product
Profit = Revenue - costs
Profit before the introduction of the new product
= 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 = 500,000
Profit after the introduction of the new product
New revenue = (2,000,000 + 200,000) = 2,200,000
Cumulative cost = 1,500,000 + 160,000 = 1,660,000
Profit = 2,200,000 - 1,660,000 = 540000
Differential profit Profit = 540,000 - 500,000= $40,000

Item8 Part 5 of 5 10 points Return to questionItem 8Item 8 Part 5 of 5 10 points Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] In 2021, the Westgate Construction Company entered into a contract to construct a road for Santa Clara County for $10,000,000. The road was completed in 2023. Information related to the contract is as follows: 2021 2022 2023 Cost incurred during the year $ 2,542,000 $ 3,772,000 $ 2,074,600 Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 5,658,000 1,886,000 0 Billings during the year 2,020,000 4,294,000 3,686,000 Cash collections during the year 1,810,000 3,800,000 4,390,000 Westgate recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion. 5. Calculate the amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years assuming the following costs incurred and costs to complete information. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years is shown below:-
Sales revenue for the present period for 2021 = $31,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2022 = $46,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2023 = $23,00,000.00
Gross Profit for year 2021 = $5,58,000.00
Gross profit for year 2022 = $8,28,000.00
Gross profit for year 2023 = $2,25,400.00
To reach the sales revenue we simply deduct the Sales revenue recognized in previous period from Sales revenue recognized till date for 3 years on the other hand to compute the gross profit we simply deduct the Cost incurred during the year from Sales revenue for the present period for 3 years.
For clarification we attached the spreadsheet to reach the sales revenue and gross profit for 3 years.
gThe fact that flotation costs can be significant is justification for: maintaining a low dividend policy and rarely issuing extra dividends. a firm to issue larger dividends than their closest competitors. maintaining a high dividend policy. maintaining a constant dividend policy even when profits decline significantly. a firm to maintain a constant dividend policy even if they frequently have to issue new shares of stock to do so.
Answer:
Maintaining a low dividend policy and rarely issuing extra dividends.
Explanation:
This cost is said to be accumulated or generated by a company when dealing new security systems or organisation into the company. This happens in a registered or legal form of absorption of the said body. And this is been applied or shown in percentages during summation or analysis.
Many factors affect flotation which ranges from the type of issued securities, their size, and risks associated with the transaction. It is generally lower than those for issuing common shares. It is shown as the issuance of common shares typically ranges from 2% to 8%.

Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $280, the unit variable cost is $230, and the total fixed costs are $560,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $310. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
Answer:
a.
Break even in units sales = 11200 units
b.
Break even in units sales = 7000 units
Explanation:
Break even sales in units is the number of units needed to be sold in order for the company to reach a point where it covers all of its total cost with its total revenue and break evens. It is a point of no profit and no loss and the total revenue is equal to the total costs.
The formula to calculate break even in units is,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where, contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a.
Break even in units = 560000 / (280 - 230)
Break even in units = 11200 units
b.
Anticipated Break even in units = 560000 / (310 - 230)
Anticipated Break even in units = 7000 units

= ($240 × 2 models + $430 × 3 models) ÷ (2 models + 3 models)
= ($480 + $1,290) ÷ (5 models)
= $354
We simply applied the above formula
Analyzing Accounts Receivable Changes The comparative balance sheets of Sloan Company reveal that accounts receivable (before deducting allowances) increased by $15,000 in 2013. During the same time period, the allowance for uncollectible accounts increased by $2,100. If sales revenue was $120,000 in 2013 and bad debts expense was 2.5% of sales, how much cash was collected from customers during the year?
Answer:
Cash was collected from customers during the year was $ 104,100
Explanation:
Sales revenue = $120,000
Bad debt expense = 2.5% of sales
Therefore, Bad debt expense = $120,000 x 2.5% = $3,000
Thus, allowance for uncollectible accounts should have increased by $3,000. But it increased by $2,100.
Therefore, uncollectible accounts receivable of $900 ($3,000 - $2,100) were written off during that year.
Cash collected from customers = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable - Uncollectible accounts written off
= $120,000 - $15,000 - $900
= $104,100
Richard Palm is the accounting clerk of Olive Limited. He uses the source documents such as purchase orders, sales invoices and suppliers’ invoices to prepare journal vouchers for general ledger entries. Each day he posts the journal vouchers to the general ledger and the related subsidiary ledgers. At the end of each month, he reconciles the subsidiary accounts to their control accounts in the general ledger to ensure they balance. Discuss the internal control weaknesses and risks associated with the above process. (10 marks 300 words)
Answer:
Olive Limited
1) Internal Control Weaknesses: Richard Palm is just an accounting clerk and obviously there is a lack of qualification for him to single-handedly complete his work without supervision. He handles the whole processes of identifying source documents, the accounts involved, and their correctness, preparing the journal, posting to the ledgers, and leger accounts reconciliation. This shows that there is no segregation of duties. There is no personnel that authorizes or reviews Richard's accounting processes. He engages in self-review (reconciliation) of his work.
2) The risks associated with Richard's process are:
a) Richard lacks the required professional experience and qualification to handle most of his work alone. Thus, the risk of misstatement of financial statement elements is high.
b) Since Richard works without appropriate supervision, there is an increased risk of fraudulent behaviors. Richard could post fictitious invoices to the accounting records.
c) Without separation of duties, a single individual handles a transaction from the beginning to the end. This does not augur well for internal controls, which can be easily compromised.
d) Designated managers should be required to authorize certain types of transactions to add an extra layer of responsibility to accounting records. This also proves that transactions have been seen, analyzed, and approved by appropriate authorities. The requirement that large payments and expenses be approved by specific managers stop unscrupulous employees from making large fraudulent transactions with company funds, for example.
e) Richard also self-reviews his work. Thus, it may be difficult for him to identify errors of misstatement. An invoice could be posted more than once in the accounting records without being identified.
Explanation:
Internal controls are business processes that provide reasonable assurance so that several key business objectives are met, processes are operating efficiently, the financial reporting is reliable, and that the business is in compliance with applicable regulations and internal procedures.
Weaknesses occur when there is an absence of internal controls or the controls are not being operated as specified or the control objectives are not being achieved. When any of these are prevalent, risks arise. The risks may lead to intentional and unintentional financial statement misstatements or fraudulent practices.

Martha was considering starting a new business. During her preliminary investigations, she incurred the following expenditures:
Salaries $22,000
Travel 18,000
Professional fees 13,000
Interest on a short-term note 4,000
Martha begins the business on July 1 of the current year. If Marth elects \SS 195 trearment, determine her startup expenditure deduction for the current year.
Answer:
$3,700
Explanation:
The computation of startup expenditure deduction for the current year is shown below:-
According to the section 195, the tax payer is eligible for an immediate deduction of startup expenditure or 5,000 decreased amount that exceeds $50,000
The amount left over of start up expense is eligible for amortization over 180 months starting from the month when the tax payer business started
Immediate deduction = $5,000 - Start up cost in excess of $50,000
= $5,000 - $3,000
= $2,000
The $3,000 come from
= $53,000 - $50,000
= $3,000
now,
Amortized deduction = ((Total start up cost - Immediate deduction) ÷ 180 months) × Total number of months from beginning July to ending December
= (($53,000 - $2,000) ÷ 180) × 6 months
= 283.33 × 6
= $1,700 approx
and
Start up cost = Salary expenses + Travel expenses + Professional fees
= $22,000 + $18,000 + $13,000
= $53,000
finally
Total deduction in the current year = Immediate deduction + Amortized deductions
= $2,000 + $1,700
= $3,700
Hurricane Industries had a net income of $141,150 and paid 35 percent of this amount to shareholders in dividends. During the year, the company sold $87,750 in new common stock. What was the company's cash flow to stockholders?
Answer:
$38,347
Explanation:
Calculation for Hurricane Industries cash flow to stockholders
Formula for Cash flow to stockholders:
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Net new equity raised
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Dividends paid =$141,150
Net new equity raised=$87,750
Hence:
Dividends = $141,150 * .35= $49,403
New net equity = $87,750
Cash flow to stockholders = $87,750-$49,403
= $38,347
Therefore the company's cash flow to stockholders will be $38,347

A stock sells for $50. The next dividend will be $5 per share. If the rate of return earned on reinvested funds is a constant 15% and the company reinvests a constant 20% of earnings in the firm, what must be the discount rate
Answer:
The answer is 13%
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
A stock sells for =$50
The next dividend is = $5 per share
The rate of return = 15%
Company reinvests a constant of =20%
What is the rate of discount = ?
Now
The first step is to calculate the rate of growth which is shown below:
g = equity return * retention rate
g = 15% * 0.2 = 3%
Thus,
The Gordon growth model is stated below:
Stock price = dividend in following year/ (discount - g)
So,
50 = 5/ (discount - g)
The discount - g = 5/50
Discount - g = 10%
The discount = 10 + 3 = 13%
Therefore the discount rate =13%
