Answer: 4.72%
Explanation:
Given: Bethesda Water has an issue of preferred stock outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.30 percent
i.e. dividend = 4.30%
Price of a share = $91.18
Since, the cost of the company's preferred stock = (dividend) ÷ (Price of a share ) x 100
= (4.3) ÷ ($91.18) x 100
= 0.0472 x 100
= 4.72%
Hence, the cost of the company's preferred stock = 4.72%

K425 M67
Unit product cost $ $
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We were provided with the activity rates. To calculate the total cost, first, we need to allocate overhead to both product lines:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Product K425:
Allocated MOH= (6*80) + (4*100) + (50*1) + (90*1) + (14*1) + (9*80)
Allocated MOH= $1,754
Product M67:
Allocated MOH= (6*500) + (4*1,500) + (50*4) + (90*4) + (14*10) + (9*500)
Allocated MOH= $14,200
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost:
Product K425:
Unitary cost= 13 + 5.6 + (1,754/200)
Unitary cost= $27.37
Product M67:
Unitary cost= 56 + 3.5 + (14,200/2,000)
Unitary cost= $66.6

Suppose that, in an attempt to combat severe unemployment, the government decides to increase the amount of money in circulation in the economy.
This monetary policy ___________ the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to ____________ product prices. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce __________ goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a _________ level of unemployment.
In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Higher inflation leads to ____________ unemployment.
Answer:
increases
higher
more
lower
lower
Explanation:
If the money supply is increased. individuals would have more money and consumption would increase. Increase in consumption would lead to a rise in demand.
when demand exceeds supply, prices rise,
When there is a rise in price, it encourages producers to increase production in order to increase their profit margin.
In order to expand production, more factors of production would be needed. So, more labour would be hired. thus, unemployment would fall.
it can be seen that higher inflation lowers unemployment

Explanation:
Suppose a ten firm industry has total sales of $35 million per year. The largest firm have sales of $10 million, the third largest firm has sales of $4 million, and the fourth largest firm has sales of $2 million. If fifth through tenth largest firms combined have annual sales of $12 million, the fourfirm concentration ratio for this industry is
Answer:
0.66
Explanation:
the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.
The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million
concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29
concentration ratio of firm 2 = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2
concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11
concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06
Adding the ratios together = 0.66
1. A small-scale businessman deposits money at the beginning of each year into his savings account, depending on the level of the business’ returns. He deposits $1000 in the first year, $3000 in the second year, $5000 in the third and $7000 in the fourth year and annual interest rate of 7%. What is the value of the investment at the time of his first deposit?
Answer:
The value of the investment at the time of his first deposit is $13,855.
Explanation:
The Value of the Investment at the time of his first deposit is its Net Present Value.
Calculation of the Net Present Value of this Investment is as follows ;
Hint : Find the Present Value of individual deposits and sum them up
PV = FV / (1 + r) ^n
Year 0 = $1000 / (1.07)^0
= $1,000
Year 1 = $3000 / (1.07)^1
= $2,804
Year 2 = $5000 / (1.07)^2
= $4,367
Year 2 = $7000 / (1.07)^3
= $5,714
Net Present Value = $1,000 + $2,804 + $4,367 + $5,714
= $13,855
The owners decide to take the company public through an IPO, issuing additional 1 million new shares. Assuming that they successfully complete the IPO, the net income for the next year is estimated to be $6 million. The price of shares is set using average price-earnings ratios for similar businesses of 15. What portion of the company will be owned by the angel investor after the IPO
Answer:
15.79% = 300,000 stocks = $14,210,526
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, you are missing the following:
"The founders and owners of a private company have funded it through the following rounds of investment: Round Source Price Number of Shares Class A Self $1.00 200,000 Class B Angel $1.00 300,000 Class C Venture Capital $1.25 400,000"
total number of outstanding stocks after the IPO = 200,000 + 300,000 + 400,000 + 1,000,000 = 1,900,000
angel investors own 300,000 / 1,900,000 = 0.157895 = 15.79%
price earnings ratio = stock price / earnings per stock
EPS = net income / total outstanding stocks = $6,000,000 / 1,900,000 = $3.1579
15 = stock price / $3.1579
stock price = 15 x $3.1579 = $47.3684
angel investors own 300,000 stocks x $47.3684 = $14,210,526
On the first day of 2016, Holthausen COmpany acquired the assets of Leftwich Company including several intangible assests. These include a patent on Ledtwicj's primary product, a device called a plentiscope. Leftwich carried the patent on its book for $1,500, but Holthausen believes that the fair value is $200,000. The patent expires in seven years, but companies can be expected to develop competing patents within three years. Holthausen believes that, with expected technlogical improvements, the product is marketable for a t least 20 years.
The registration of the trademark for the Leftwich name is scheduled to expire in 15 years. However, the Leftwich brand name, which Holthausen believes is worth $500,000, could be applied to related products for many years beyond that.
As part of the acquisition, Leftwich's principal researcher left the company. As part of the acquisition, he signed a five-year noncompetition agreement that prevents him from developing competing products. Holthausen paid the scientist $300,000 to sign the agreement.
a. What amount should be capitalized for each of teh identifiable intangible assets?
b. What amount of amortization expense should Holthausen record in 2016 for each asset?
Answer:
Holthausen Company and Leftwich Company
Intangible Assets:
a) Amount to be capitalized:
1) Patent: $200,000
2) Trademark: $500,000
3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000
b) Amount of Amortization Expense for 2016:
1) Patent: $200,000/7 years = $28,571.43
2) Trademark: $500,000/15 years = $33,333,33
3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000/5 = $60,000
Explanation:
The fair values of the "plentiscope" patent and Leftwich's branded trademark should be capitalized as intangible assets, while the cost of the non-competition agreement with Leftwich's principal researcher should be capitalized.
For the amortization of the Leftwich-connected intangibles, we have adopted the straight-line method, in the absence of any prescribed method. The patent expiration in 7 years was used as the basis for its useful life, despite Holthausen belief that the product could be marketable for at least 20 years.
The trademark was amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years as given, while the non-competition agreement was amortized for 5 years when the agreement remains effective.
In #31, Kathryn and Jose decide to try mediation instead of arbitration. They can select one of the following, which are the typical types of mediation (select one):
Answer: e. two of the above.
Explanation:
The typical types of mediation in the options include both Facilitative and Evaluative;
Facilitative mediating is the most common and basic of mediation techniques. It involves the use of mediators who create an environment for negotiations. In other words they facilitate negotiations amongst the parties in conflict in the hopes that both parties can come to an agreement that favors the both of them and results in lasting peace. Evaluative Mediating on the other hand emulates Settlement conferences which is like a pre-trial where a Judge attempts to get both parties to settle a case before they go to court. Evaluative mediating therefore involves the use of a mediator who will act like a judge and show the parties where they are both falling short and then attempt to settle the issue they way they think a Judge would.On January 1, 20X6, Pumpkin Corporation acquired 70 percent of Spice Company's common stock for $210,000 cash.

Answer:
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Explanation:
In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.
Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Explanation:
1. The total amount lola will received this year will be:
$1,000 monthly annuity*7 payments in the current year
=$7,000
2. The cost in the plan at the annuity starting date will be :
$48,300
3. The Age at annuity starting date will be 210 because Lola age is 67 in which age 66–70 is 210
4. When we Divide line 2 by line 3 we would have $230 calculated as
$48,300/210=$230
5. In a situation where we Multiply line 4 by the number of monthly payments this year we would have $1,610 calculated as:
$230*7=1,610
6. We have $0 recovered tax-free in prior years.
7. When we Subtract line 6 which is $0 from line 2 which is $48,300 we would have $48,300.
$48,300-$0=$48,300
8. The smaller of line 5 which is 1,610 or 7 which is $48,300 will be $1,610
9. The Taxable amount this year will be calculated as the Subtraction of line 8 which is $1,610 from line 1 which is $7,000 we would have $5,390

Perteet Corporation's relevant range of activity is 3,000 units to 7,000 units. When it produces and sells 5,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.70 Direct labor $ 3.25 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.00 Fixed selling expense $ 0.70 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.40 Sales commissions $ 0.50 Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 If 4,000 units are produced, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is closest to
Answer:
Total overhead= $21,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing overhead per unit= $1.60
Fixed manufacturing overhead= $3.00*5,000= $15,000
4,000 units are produced
Because the production level is between the relevant range, the total fixed costs remain constant.
Total overhead= 1.6*4,000 + 15,000
Total overhead= $21,400
You have just turned 40 years old and are trying to decide who much money to put into your retirement plan. The plan works as follows: Every dollar in the plan earns 7% per year. You cannot make withdrawals until you retire on your sixty-fifth birthday. After that point, you can make withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to 95 and work until your turn 65. You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $250,000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your 95th birthday. You already have $200,000 in the retirement plan. You will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that you work, starting next year. How much do you need to contribute each year to fund your retirement
Answer:
$31,886.09
Explanation:
years until retirement = 65 - 40 = 25 years
interest earned 7%
retirement age 65
expected life span after retiring = 95 - 65 = 30 years
financial needs during retirement $250,000 per year
current account balance $200,000
we must first determine how much money you will need when you are 65:
present value = $250,000 x 12.409 (PV annuity, 30 years, 7%) = $3,102,250
your $200,000 will be worth $200,000 x (1 + 7%)²⁵ = $1,085,486.53 in 25 years
so you need $3,102,250 - $1,085,486.53 = $2,016,763.47 extra
using the FV formula for an annuity:
$2,016,763.47 = payment x 63.249 (FV annuity, 25 years, 7%)
payment = $2,016,763.47 / 63.249 = $31,886.09

= $244,500 / 1345= 181.78
The price level increases. The short-run aggregate supply curve will Choose one: A. shift to the right. B. shift to the left. C. remain unchanged.
Answer:
Option C, remain unchanged, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option C is correct because the increase in the price level will result in the movement along with the given supply curve but in the question, option A says shifts to the right and in option B it says the shift to the left. Therefore these options are wrong. However, the supply curve remains the same because due to an increase in the price level the supply curve does not shift. Therefore option C will be the right option.

How could managers use increased worker flexibility and diligence to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites
Explanation:
In order to increase the flexibility and diligence of workers in order to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites, it is ideal for management to offer working conditions that allow employees greater benefits, such as greater mobility, with a layout that includes the correct flow between people, products and materials.
It is also ideal to implement technologies that reduce the bureaucracy both at work and facilitate communication and carrying out tasks.
Mobility also includes remote work using technology.
These are strategies that help to make work more flexible and, consequently, increase innovation in work and worker motivation.
The correct way in which the flexibility of the workers in an organization can be increased is by adapting to suitable principles of business management as per the size and scale of the business.
This will also help the manager to increase the competitiveness in the market and also beat the need for optimum level of production in the organization.
Principles of Business Management. The principles of business management as given by economist Henry Fayol are a great source for how the business can be run efficiently and effectively using the resources available.There can be chain level management that can be followed to achieve specialization of work and bring in additional capital or workforce to divide the work uniformly. Manufacturing can also be increased by doing departmentalization in management to save up costs and achieve optimum utilization of resources.Hence, a manager may adapt to different principles of management to increase competitiveness and effectiveness in the level of manufacturing.

Required:
The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:________
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $191,700
Explanation:
a) Cost of production:
Beginning Inventory: Raw Materials $40,000
Purchase of Raw materials $63,000
Ending inventory: Raw materials ($24,000)
Cost of raw materials used $79,000
Beginning Work in process $23,000
Cost of raw materials used $79,000
Direct labor cost $73,700
Manufacturing overhead $55,000
less Ending Work in process ($17,000)
Cost of production $213,700
Beginning Finished goods $50,000
Cost of production $213,700
Ending Finished goods ($72,000)
Cost of goods sold $191,700
b) The adjusted cost of goods sold takes into consideration the cost of raw materials used, the direct labor costs, and the manufacturing overhead, before adjusting for the beginning inventory and ending inventory.
direct materials $34, direct labor $27, variable manufacturing overhead $15, fixed manufacturing overhead $43, variable selling and administrative expenses $20, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $28. Its desired ROI per unit is $31. Compute the markup percentage using absorption-cost pricing.
Answer:
Mark- up = 26.05%
Explanation:
Absorption costing is method of costing where overheads are charged to units produced using volume-based bases. e.g machine hours, labour hours e.t.c. Units are valued using full cost per unit
Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead
Note that the selling and administrative expenses are period cost which are not to be considered as production cost, hence they are excluded.
Full cost per unit= 34 + 27 +15 +43 = 119
ROI per unit/profit per unit = 31
Mark- up under absorption costing is profit expressed as a percentage of of the full cost.
Mark- up = 31/119 × 100 = 26.05%
Mark- up = 26.05%
Bentley estimates manufacturing overhead of $3,251,600 for 2013 and will apply overhead to units produced based on 739,000 machine hours. During 2013, Bentley used $1,640,000 of raw materials, paid $5,335,800 of direct labor, generated 734,000 machine hours, and produced 2,190,000 units. Required: Calculate Bentley’s predetermined overhead rate for 2013. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Calculate Bentley’s cost per unit of production for 2013. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $3,251,600
Estimated machine-hours= 739,000
During 2013, Bentley used $1,640,000 of raw materials, paid $5,335,800 of direct labor, generated 734,000 machine hours, and produced 2,190,000 units.
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= 3,251,600/739,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.4 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 4.4*734,000= $3,229,600
Finally, we can determine the total cost and unitary cost:
Total cost= 1,640,000 + 5,335,800 + 3,229,600= $10,205,400
Unitary cost= 10,205,400/2,190,000= $4.66 per unit
