You are in charge of a project that has a degree of operating leverage of 1.24. What will happen to the operating cash flows if the number of units you sell increase by 3.8 percent? Group of answer choices 4.71 percent increase 4.71 percent decrease 3.06 percent increase 3.06 percent decrease
Answer:
4.71 percent increase
Explanation:
The increase in the number of units sold is 3.8%
Degree of operating leverage is 1.24
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:
Increase in the number of units×degree of operating leverage
= 3.8/100×1.24
= 0.038×1.24
= 0.0471×100
= 4.71%
Hence there is a 4.71 percent increase in the operating cash flow
At January 1, 2019, Betty DeRose, Inc. had an allowance for bad debts with a $4,500 credit balance. During 2019, Betty wrote-off as uncollectible accounts receivable in the amount of $6,200. At December 31, 2019, Betty had total accounts receivable of $216,000 and prepared the following aging schedule: Accounts Receivable % Uncollectible not past due $100,000 1% 1-30 days past due 60,000 4% 31-60 days past due 27,000 8% 61-90 days past due 19,000 26% over 90 days past due 10,000 40% total accounts receivable $216,000 Calculate the net realizable value of Betty DeRose's accounts receivable at December 31, 2019.
Answer:
$16,200
Explanation:
The bad debt expense has beginning balance of $4,500. Bad debt written of during 2019 is $6,200. The total account receivable is $216,000.
$100,000 * 1% = $1000
$60,000 * 4% =$2400
$27,000 * 8% =$2160
$19,000 * 26% =$4940
$10,000 * 40% =$4000
The total of uncollected is $14,500
The bad debt of the current year is $4500 - $6200 = $1700
Deere is a global manufacturer and distributor of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. Suppose it reported the following information in its 2017 annual report. (In millions)
2017 2016 Inventories (LIFO) $2,267 $2,999
Current asset 32,910
Current liabilities 11,711
LIFO reserve 1,389
Cost of goods sold 15,661
Compute Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio.
Answer:
5.95
Explanation:
Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio is:
Formula for Inventory Turnover Ratio= Cost of Goods sold / Average Inventory
Where Average Inventory = (Previous Inventory + Current Inventory) / 2
= ($2,267 + $2,999) / 2
=$5,266 / 2
=$2,633
Average Inventory = $2,633
Therefore, Inventory Turnover Ratio = $15,661 / $2,633 = 5.9479 = 5.95
Deere Inventory Turnover for 2017 Ratio is 5.95.

B. $25,000
C. $13,000
D. $45,000
2. The NPV for Epiphany's Project is closest to:_______
A. $4,800
B. $39,000
C. $13,300
D. $20,400
Answer:
FCF years 1 is $43,000
NPV is $13,300
Explanation:
The free cash flow for the first year=net income+depreciation-Capital exp
net income is $13,000
depreciation is $30,000
capital exp for the first year is nil
the free cash flow=$13,000+$30,000+$0=$43,000
FCF year zero=-$90,000
the FCF for year1 applies to years 2 and 3 as well
NPV=-$90,000+$43,000/(1+12%)^1+$43,000/(1+12%)^2+$43,000/(1+12%)^3=
$13,278.74
The closest option is $13,300
At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $7,700. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $22,700. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $9,700. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer: $20,700
Explanation:
beginning inventory (X) = $7,700
purchased additional inventory (Y) = $22,700
ending inventory (Z) = $9,700
So first, we have to calculate Cost of goods available for sale (A), we add beginning inventory (X) and purchased additional inventory (Y)
A = X + Y
A = 7,700 + 22,700
Cost of goods available for sale (A) = 30,400
NOW to get our Cost of goods sold for the year (B), we subtract ending inventory (Z) from cost of goods available for sale (A)
B = A - Z
B = 30,400 - 9,700
B = 20,700
therefore the cost of goods sold for the year is $20,700
Sally makes deposits into a retirement account every year from the age of 30 until she retires at age 65. a) If Sally deposits $ 1100$1100 per year and the account earns interest at a rate of 9 %9% per year, compounded annually, how much does she have in the account when she retires? b) How much of that total amount is from Sally's deposits? How much is interest?
Answer:
a)
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $38,500
Interest Amount = $198,781.83
Explanation:
A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.
a)
We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula
Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r
Where
P = Periodic payments = $1,100
r = 9%
n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years
Placing values in the formula
Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500
Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83

Show all steps.
Answer:
The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available
A [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3] [2,1,2,1,1]
B [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2] [0,2,5,1,0]
C [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1] [1,1,3,1,0]
D [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ] [0,1,3,1,1]
Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.
Now
consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3
It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2
Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3
It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3
Thus
consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3
It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5
Then
consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3
It can satisfy A,B,C,D
Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

On January 1, Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments had a zero balance. On December 31, the cost of the available-for-sale securities was $252,000, and the fair value was $258,890. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale investments on December 31. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer:
Dr Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments $6890
Cr unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments $6890
Explanation:
The unrealized gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities is the difference between its cost of $252,000 and the fair value of $258,890 on 31st December.
Gain/(loss)=$258,890-$252,000=$6890 unrealized gain
The amount would be credited to unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments while Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments would be debited with the same amount
The price of coffe beans use to make coffee has decreased. At the same time, the price of cream (a compliment good) has increased. Given these two effects, what will happen to the current equilibrium quantity and price of coffee?
A. Equilibrium quantity will increase, equilibrium price will increase.
B. Equilibrium price will increase; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease; the effect on price is ambiguous.
D. Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
Denominator hours for May 15,000 Actual hours worked during May 14,000 Standard hours allowed for May 12,000 Flexible budget fixed overhead cost $45,000 Actual fixed overhead costs for May $48,000 Danske Company had total underapplied overhead of $15,000. Additional information is as follows: Variable Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $42,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 38,000 Fixed Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $30,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 27,000 What is the actual total overhead for the period?
Answer:
$87,000
Explanation:
As per given data
Actual hours = 15,000 hours
Standard hours = 14,000 hours
Standard hours allowed = 12,000 hours
Flexible budget fixed overhead cost = $45,000
Actual fixed overhead costs = $48,000
Underapplied overhead = $15,000
Variable Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $42,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 38,000 hours
Fixed Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $30,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 27,000 hours
Total Overhead is the sum of all the variable and fixed overheads applied to the products and under / over applied overheads.
Applied overheads are the amount of overheads applied using actual activity and standard rate.
Actual Overheads = Applied variable overheads + Applied fixed overheads + under applied overheads
Placing values in the formula
Actual Overheads = $42,000 + $30,000 + $15,000
Actual Overheads = $87,000

I 8 H 82 3.616974
The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16
So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16
Given that the demand per week is : = 247
The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes
Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week
Talk Time = 2400/247
Talk Time = 9.716599
Thus; here the cycle time is greater than the talk time.
Other things the same, an increase in the U.S. interest rate causes U.S. net capital outflow to a. rise, so supply in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right. b. rise, so demand in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right. c. fall, so supply in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts left.
Answer:
b. rise, so demand in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right.
Explanation:
An increase in the interest rates leads to a rise in the capital outflow as savings and investment lead to more net capital outflow. This is the movement of the assets on the company and is considered to be bad for the economy and leads to undesirable changes in the supply of the foreign currency as a shift in the demands of the consumers. This may result in political and economic instability.Casper and Cecile divorced in 2018. As part of the divorce settlement, Casper transferred stock to Cecile. Casper purchased the stock for $25,000, and it had a market value of $43,000 on the date of the transfer. Cecile sold the stock for $40,000 a month after receiving it. In addition, Casper is required to pay Cecile $1,500 a month in alimony. He made five payments to her during the year.What are the tax consequences for Casper and Cecile regarding these transactions?
Answer:
According to IRS, the party making the payments is entitled to cancel the alimony & separate maintenance fees in a divorce situation while the party accepting the payment is obliged to include the amounts received in their gross revenue. Any transfer of property in respect of a divorce other than cash, however, is not taxable.The party receiving the property also does not recognize income and include the item on cost basis equal to basis of the party making transfer.

Which of the following statements regarding changes in accounting principles is not true? Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported. Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Answer:
Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place.
Explanation:
Accounting principle can be defined as a general guideline to be followed by accountants or financial institutions when they record and report their financial transactions.
A change in an accounting principle involves a change in an accounting method used.
For instance, an accountant switching between First In, First Out (FIFO) to Last In, First Out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation or by using another depreciation method.
Additionally, an accounting principle should only be changed, if it's applicable to the accounting framework being used such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Also, it is important to state in the footnotes of the financial statements a full disclosure to highlight the justification for the preferred change and financial implications of this change.
The following are true about the change in accounting principles;
1. Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported.
2. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones.
3. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
You work for a company that ends their fiscal year on September 30th. The company billed its customers for services provided in August, but they have not yet received payment for these services. Assuming the company uses accrual accounting, how should this transaction be recorded
Answer:
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Service Revenue
Being entries for services rendered to customers in August
Explanation:
Under accrual accounting, revenue is recognized once it is earned which is when the goods or services have been delivered to the customers such that the risk and reward or control of the goods/services now lies with the customer.
This is different from the cash basis of accounting where revenue is only recognized when cash has been received.
In accrual accounting, When revenue is earned but cash is yet to be received,
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Revenue account
On receipt of cash,
Debit Cash account
Credit Accounts receivable.

Statement #1: Cold Goose’s pool of relatively liquid assets, which are available to support the company’s current and future sales, decreased from Year 1 to Year 2.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current asset balance increased from $11,250 million to $14,062 million between Year 1 and Year 2
Statement #2: Over the past two years, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. has relied more on the use of short-term debt than on long-term debt financing.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current liabilities increased by $391 million, while its use of long-term debt increased by $1,171 million
Statement #3: One way to interpret the change in Cold Goose’s accounts receivable balance from Year 1 to Year 2 is that more customers purchased new items on credit rather than paying off existing credit accounts.
This statement is TRUE, because:The $421 increase in accounts receivable means either that Year 1’s existing credit customers are not paying off their owed balances and new or existing customers are making additional purchases on credit, or that Year 1’s credit customers have repaid their owed balances and Year 2 credit sales have exceeded Year 1’s credit sales

Cullumber Water Co. is a leading producer of greenhouse irrigation systems. Currently, the company manufactures the timer unit used in each of its systems. Based on an annual production of 40,780 timers, the company has calculated the following unit costs. Direct fixed costs include supervisory and clerical salaries and equipment depreciation. Direct materials $12 Direct labor 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 Direct fixed manufacturing overhead 8 (30% salaries, 70% depreciation) Allocated fixed manufacturing overhead 8 Total unit cost $38 Clifton Clocks has offered to provide the timer units to Cullumber at a price of $32 per unit. If Cullumber accepts the offer, the current timer unit supervisory and clerical staff will be laid off. Warning Don't show me this message again for the assignment Ok Cancel Collapse question part (a1) Correct answer. Your answer is correct. Calculate the total relevant cost to make or buy the timer units. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) Assume that if Cullumber Water accepts Clifton’s offer, the company can use the freed-up manufacturing facilities to manufacture a new line of growing lights. The company estimates it can sell 93,050 of the new lights each year at a price of $12. Variable costs of the lights are expected to be $9 per unit. The timer unit supervisory and clerical staff would be transferred to this new product line. Calculate the total relevant cost to make the timer units and the net cost if they accept Clifton's offer.
Answer:
If Cullumber accepts the offer, the current timer unit supervisory and clerical staff will be laid off.

Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 14.50%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity
Answer:
21.45%
Explanation:
Pearson motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity
The yield to maturity is 10%
Tax rate is 40%
WACC is 14.50%
First of all we have to find the tax cost of debt
Tax cost of debt= Yield to maturity×(1-tax rate)
= 8×(1-25/100)
= 8×(1-0.25)
= 8×0.75
= 6%
The next step is to calculate the common equity
Therefore, the common equity can be calculated as follows
WACC= Respective cost×Respective weight
14.50= (6×0.45)+(0.55×common equity)
14.50= 2.7+(0.55×common equity)
14.50-2.7= (0.55×common equity)
11.8= (0.55×common equity)
Common equity= 11.8/0.55
Common equity= 21.45%
Hence Pearson's cost of common equity is 21.45%

Although the "Great Recession" that began in late 2007 ended officially in the summer of 2009, the U.S. economy had staged only a modest recovery as we moved through the middle of 2015. Some economists have pointed out that this is typical of a _____________ recession.
Answer: balance sheet
Explanation: The modest recovery of the U.S. economy after the Great Recession has been described by economists as typical of a balance sheet recession which is characterized by great savings, reduction in debts by individuals or companies collectively, as opposed to spending or investing which serve as stimulants for economies. This is usually attributed to high levels of private sector debts and as a result, there is general economic decline or slow growth.
