Answer:
1. Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening AR+Closing AR)/2
WalCo = 1,735 + 2,682 / 2 = 2208.5 = 2209
TarMart= 5,766 + 6,294 / 2 = 6030
CostGet= 549 + 585 / 2 = 567
Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivables
WalCo= 314,427 / 2209 = 142.339 = 142.34
TarMart= 59,878 / 6030 = 9.903 = 9.90
CostGet= 60,963 / 567= 107.518 = 107.52
Average Collection Period = 365 / Receivable Turnover Ratio
WalCo= 365 / 142.34 = 2.56
CostGet= 365 / 9.90= 36.87
TarMart= 365 / 107.52= 3.39
2. Walco Company is the best Since it collects its AR in 2.56 days
Howard Services, Inc., has $ 8 comma 600 cash on hand on January 1. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $ 7 comma 600. January cash collections are $ 548 comma 570. Total cash payments for January are $ 567 comma 610. Prepare a cash budget for January. How much cash, if any, will Howard need to borrow by the end of January?
Answer:
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Explanation:
The cash budget shows the expected cash payments and expected cash receipts and cash balance at the end of a particular period.
Note that in the cash budget only items of the cash are considered, therefore items like depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and apportionment of fixed costs are not included because they are not cash based.
The balance at the end = opening cash balance + cash receipts -cash payment
Applying this to Howard Services, Inc.
The amount of cash to be borrowed = Minimum cash balance required - Net cash balance
DATA
Opening cash balance - 8600
Cash receipts- 548,570
Cash payment - 567,610
Net cash balance = 8600 + 548,570 - 567,610 = (10,440)
The amount of cash to be borrowed = 7,600 - (10,440)
=7,600+10,440=18040
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Note a negative amount of 10,400 would mean that that would be first borrowed to balance the deficit, and to take the balance to the minimum required cash balance, an addition 7,600 would need to be borrowed.

Paul Hyatt owns and operates DeepClean, a Florida-based company that cleans up mold and mildew in homes and businesses. As the sole proprietor of the business, he has unlimited liability, which means:
Answer:
Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts
Explanation:
Unlimited liability in this scenario, means that Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts. That is because unlimited liability is defined as the full legal responsibility that business owners and partners assume for all business debts, and since Paul Hyatt is a sole proprietor which means that he both owns and runs DeepCleans and there is no legal distinction between him and the business entity, then he is fully liable for debts and profits of DeepClean.

A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 19.9 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $48,000, the interest for the year will be $9,552. Because you must repay a total of $57,552 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $57,552/12, or $4,796.00 per month over the next 12 months.
Required:
a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?
b. What is the effective annual rate?
Answer:
a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?
banks are required to quote the APR, which in this case is 19.9%b. What is the effective annual rate?
22.1%Explanation:
Annual percentage rate (APR) = [($9,552 / $48,000) / 365] x 365 x 100 = 19.9%
In this case, you should only divide $9,552 / $48,000 and then multiply by 100 since the loan only lasts one year.
effective annual rate = (1 + 0.199/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 0.2201 = 22.1%

SilverFinn makes high-end jewelry for women. This jewelry is manufactured and patented in Italy. Manufacturers in Argentina create counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry and sell it in local markets at nearly similar prices to the original SilverFinn jewelry sold in other countries. This lack of intellectual property protection is like to result in
Answer: a. reduction in export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
Explanation:
SilverFinn jewellery probably has intellectual property protection in other countries so when Argentinian producers make those counterfeits, they will be unable to sell it outside Argentina where it would not be allowed to be sold. This will reduce the export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
It may also reduce the export opportunities of other goods from Argentina because other countries might be slow to trust that what Argentina is sending are indeed genuine goods because they have been known to counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry.
Suppose today is May 1, 2014, and your firm produces breakfast cereal and needs 90,000 bushels of corn in July 2014 for an upcoming promotion. You would like to lock in your costs today because you are concerned that corn prices might rise between now and July. Each contract is for 5,000 bushels; the settle price for July 2014 is $5.19 per bushel. Suppose corn prices are $5.09 per bushel in July. What will your cumulative mark to market be
Answer:
$467,100

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data: Modular Homes Prefab Barns Total expected units produced 5,000 8,000 Total expected material moves 500 100 Expected direct labor-hours per unit 700 200 The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Modular homes= $182,325
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Modular Homes - Prefab Barns
Total expected material moves 500 100
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790.
To calculate the allocated costs to each product line, first, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 218,790/600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $364.65 per move
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Modular homes= 364.65*500= $182,325
Prefab Barnes= 364.65*100= $36,465
Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $5.2 million and repurchase $5.2 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $10.4 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 13.1% and it has 5.1 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Answer:
The share price today is $15.57
Explanation:
Value of the firm = Cash Flow / Cost of Equity
Value of the firm= $10,400,000 / 13.1%
Value of the firm= $79,389,312.98
If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 13.1% and it has 5.1 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today
Share price today = $79,389,312.98 / 5,100,000 Shares
Share price today = $15.5665
Share price today = $15.57
The share price today is $15.57

ent "Flounder" Dorfman is a full-time student at Faber College. He is a senior and a member of Delta Tau Chai fraternity. The Deltas awarded Kent a $35,000 scholarship called "The Dean Wormer Double Secret Probation Memorial Scholarship". Kent pays the following amounts, out of his scholarship, to attend Faber College: Tuition - $26,000; Required lab fees - $300; Required books and supplies - $1,000; Room and board - $7,500. Part 1 of 6: Does the $26,000 of the scholarship that was paid for tuition have to be included in Flounder's taxable income for federal income tax purposes?
Answer:
Kent "Flounder" Dorfman
Scholarship from Delta Tau Chair Fraternity
The $26,000 will not be included in Flounder's taxable income for federal income tax purposes. It is a qualified scholarship expense. It is only the portion of $7,500 used for Room and board that is not a qualified scholarship expense.
Though it is required that the $35,000 be disclosed in form 1040. Qualified expenses like tuition, required lab fee, required books and supplies are tax-exempt, while Room and board and other non-required expenses are not qualified and therefore taxable.
Explanation:
S117(b)(2) of the IRS Code states the expenses that are qualified and tax-exempt if they are tuition-related.
When a qualified student, usually above 18 years and enrolled in post-secondary educational institution, receives a scholarship, the amount she uses to pay for tuition and other required expenses, which are generally payable by other students, are regarded as qualified expenses. Since they are qualified, they are also tax-exempt, meaning that taxes will not be paid on them, instead they will be deducted for tax purposes from the student's income. In the case of Kent, the tuition fee is not included in her taxable income for federal income tax purposes.
A firm's profit function is pi (q) = R(q) = C(q) = 40q - (110 + 20q + 10q^2).
1. What is the positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit (or minimizes its loss)?
2. What is the firm's revenue, variable cost, and profit? Should it operate or shut down in the short run?
3. The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized is q =. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
1) [tex]\frac{d\pi (q) }{dq} = 40 - 20 - 20q = 0[/tex]
2) variable cost would be = 20 + 10 = 30, revenue = 40 , -100
3) Q = 1
Explanation:
The firm's profit function is given as
[tex]pi (q) = R(q) = C(q) = 40q - (110 + 20q + 10q^2).[/tex]
1) The positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit
can be expressed as the derivative of the given function
= [tex]\frac{d\pi (q) }{dq} = 40 - 20 - 20q = 0[/tex]
2) The firm's revenue, variable cost and profit
variable cost = 20 + 10q ( from the given function )
when q = 1 variable cost would be = 20 + 10 = 30
TR = 40q = revenue ( from given function)
when q = 1 then revenue = 40
hence variable cost is less than Revenue ( firm should operate in short run)
profit = Revenue - total cost = 40 - 140 = -100
3) The output level at which the firms profit is maximized is
q = 1
Danube Corp. purchased a used machine for $21,000. The machine required installation costs of $6000 and insurance while in transit of $1800. At which of the following amounts would the machine be recorded?
A. $28,800
B. $21,000
C. $27,000
D. $22,800
Answer:
$28,800
Explanation:
Danube corporation bought a new machine for $21,000
The machine required $6,000 as installation costs
$1,800 was paid as insurance while in transit
Therefore, the amount at which the machine would be recorded can be calculated as follows
= $21,000+$6,000+$1,800
= $28,800
Hence the machine would be recorded at $28,800
