Answer:
(A) $1,655,500
(B) $5.52 per share
Explanation:
Ecker company announced a net income of $1,925,000
They also declare a cash dividend of $269,500
The company has 300,000 weighted average shares of common stock
(A) The amount of net income available to common stockhloders for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Net income available to common stockhloders= Net income- Preferred Cash dividend
= $1,925,000-$269,500
= $1,655,500
(B) The common basic EPS for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Common basic EPS= Net income available to stockholders/weighted average outstanding shares
= $1,655,500/300,000
= $5.52 per share

You are trying to decide how much to save for retirement. Assume you plan to save $5,000 per year with the first investment made one year from now. ou think you can earn 11.0% per year on your investments and you plan to retire in 41 years, immediately after making your last $5,000 investment.
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
b. If, instead of investing $5,000 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
c. If you hope to live for 28 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 28th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw $647,000 per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year after retiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings?
e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is $ 1 comma 000$1,000 per year, but you want to retire with
$1,000,000 in your investment account, how high of a return do you need to earn on your investments?
Answer:
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
future value of the annuity = annual payment x (FV annuity factor, 11%, 40 periods) = $5,000 x 581.826 = $2,909,130b. If, instead of investing $5,000 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
present value = future value / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ = $2,909,130 / 1.11⁴¹ = $40,320.04c. If you hope to live for 28 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 28th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
payment = present value / annuity factor (PV annuity factor, 11%, 28 years) = $2,909,130 / 8.60162 = $338,207.22d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw $647,000 per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year after retiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings?
We can first try to get an approximate answer. The annuity factor = $2,909,130 / $647,000 = 4.49633694. Now looking at an annuity table we can look at the closest amount for 11%. The answer is between 6 years (annuity factor 4.2305) and 7 years (annuity factor 4.7122). This means that in less than 7 years you will have no more money left.e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is $ 1 comma 000$1,000 per year, but you want to retire with $1,000,000 in your investment account, how high of a return do you need to earn on your investments?
Again we must use the future value to determine the annuity factor. Annuity factor = $1,000,000 / $1,000 = 1,000. Using an annuity calculator to determine the closest rate (for 40 periods) = 12.9515% ≈ 12.95%The budgeted finished goods inventory and cost of goods sold for a manufacturing company for the year 2017 are as follows: January 1 finished goods, $765,000; December 31 finished goods, $540,000; cost of goods sold for the year, $2,560,000. The budgeted cost of goods manufactured for the year is a.$1,255,000. b.$2,335,000. c.$2,785,000. d.$3,100,000.
Answer:
$2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 1 finished goods, $765,000
December 31 finished goods, $540,000
Cost of goods sold for the year, $2,560,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
2,560,000 = 765,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 540,000
2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured
A business entity operated and taxed like a partnership, but with limited liability for the owners, is called a:
Answer: A. limited liability company.
Explanation:
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a type of company that is operated and taxed like a partnership for instance, profits that flow to the partners are taxed on the partner's income but not on the firm to prevent double taxation. This is called Flow-Through Taxation.
They operate with limited Liability for the owners because the owners are only personally liable for the debts and liabilities the company has up until the capital they invested. Anything past this and they cannot be held liable.

Shasta Fixture Company manufactures faucets in a small manufacturing facility. The faucets are made from brass. Manufacturing has 70 employees. Each employee presently provides 38 hours of labor per week. Information about a production week is as follows:Standard wage per hr. $20.00 Standard labor time per faucet 30 min. Standard number of lbs. of brass 2.5 lbs. Standard price per lb. of brass $1.80 Actual price per lb. of brass $1.95 Actual lbs. of brass used during the week 13,000 lbs. Number of faucets produced during the week 5,000 Actual wage per hr. $18.75 Actual hrs. for the week (70 employees × 38 hours) 2,660Required:a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor. b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.
Answer:
a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.
standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet
standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet
b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.
direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE
direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE
total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE

An important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is:
Answer:
Cost-volume-profit analysis.
Explanation:
An important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is cost-volume-profit analysis. It is an important tool in accounting that is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating financial statements, both income and net income. It is also an accounting concept known as the break even analysis.
In order to use this cost-volume-profit analysis, accountants usually make some assumptions and these are;
1. Sales price per unit product is kept constant.
2. Variable costs per unit product are kept constant.
3. Total fixed costs of production are kept constant.
4. All the units produced are sold.
5. The costs accrued are as a result of change in business activities.
6. A company selling more than a product should simply sell in the same mix.
A company issues a ten-year bond at par with a coupon rate of 6.4% paid semi-annually. The YTM at the beginning of the third year of the bond (8 years left to maturity) is 9.1%. What is the new price of the bond?
Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}[/tex]
Explanation:
The current price of the bond can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( coupon \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+YTM)^{no \ of \ period }})}{YTM} + \dfrac{Face \ Value }{(1+YTM ) ^{no \ of \ period}}[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( \dfrac{0.064 \times \$1000}{2} \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+ \dfrac{0.091}{2})^{8 \times 2}})}{\dfrac{0.091}{2}} + \dfrac{\$1000 }{(1+\dfrac{0.091}{2} ) ^{8 \times 2}})[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$32 \times $11.19 + \$490.70[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$358.08+ \$490.70[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}[/tex]
Fritz, Inc.'s unit selling price is $75, the unit variable costs are $45, fixed costs are $150,000, and current sales are 10,000 units. How much will operating income change if sales increase b
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Fritz, Inc.'s unit selling price is $75, the unit variable costs are $45, fixed costs are $150,000, and current sales are 10,000 units. How much will operating income change if sales increase by 5,000 units
Answer:
$150,000 increase
Explanation:
Fritz has a unit selling price of $75
The unit variable cost is $45
The fixed costs are $150,000
The current sales are 10,000 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin
Contribution margin= sales price - variable cost
= $75-$45
= $30 per unit
Therefore, the change in the operating income when sales increase by 5,000 units can be calculated as follows
= 5,000 units × $30
= $150,000 increase
Hence the operating income will increase by $150,000 when there is an increase in the sales by 5,000 units

You purchased a call option for $3.45 17 days ago. The call has a strike price of $45, and the stock is now trading for $51. If you exercise the call today, what will be your holding-period return
Answer:
73.9%
Explanation:
Calculation for what will be your holding-period return
You purchased a call option for $3.45 17 days ago. The call has a strike price of $45 and the stock is now trading for $51. If you exercise the call today, what will be your holding period return?
First step is to find the Gross profit
Using this formula
Gross profit=Strike price- Stock Trading amount
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit =$51 - 45
Gross profit= $6
Second step is to find the Net profit
Using this formula
Net profit=Gross profit-Call option
Let plug in the
Net profit is $6 - 3.45
Net profit= $2.55
The last step is to find the Holding period return
Using this formula
Holding period return =Net profit/Call option
Let plug in the formula
Holding period return=$2.55/$3.45
Holding period return= 0.739*100
Holding period return =73.9%
Therefore what will be your holding-period return is 73.9%

Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.55 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar
Answer: $0.65
Explanation:
The Price Level and the value of a currency are inversely related because inflation erodes the value of the currency. Therefore if the price level increases, the value of the currency drops. The reverse is true.
The formula therefore is is;
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{Price Level}[/tex]
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{1.55}[/tex]
New Value = 0.6452
New Value = $0.65
The company is considering the purchase of machinery and equipment to set up a line to produce a combination washer-dryer. They have given you the following information to analyze the project on a 5-year timeline:
Initial cash outlay is $150,000, no residual value.
Sales price is expected to be $2,250 per unit, with $595 per unit in labor expense and $795 per unit in materials.
Direct fixed costs are estimated to run $20,750 per month.
Cost of capital is 8%, and the required rate of return is 10%.
They will incur all operational costs in Year 1, though sales are expected to be 55% of break-even.
Break-even (considering only direct fixed costs) is expected to occur in Year 2.
Variable costs will increase 2% each year, starting in Year 3.
Sales are estimated to grow by 10%, 15%, and 20% for years 3 - 5.
Then to calculate:
The product’s contribution margin
Break-even quantity
NPV
IRR
Finally:
Explain how the project analyses do or do not support this decision.
In either case, what are the factors that should have been considered in management’s decision?
Answer:
Break-even quantity = 290 units
NPV = -$150,038.78
IRR = -12.07%
This project should be rejected because it has a negative NPV and IRR. You would not be able to even recover your own investment, the sales output is too small.
Explanation:
initial outlay -$150,000
selling price per unit $2,250
production costs:
labor $595materials $795total fixed costs $20,750
contribution margin per unit = $2,250 - ($595 + $795) = $860
contribution margin year 3 = $2,250 - $1,417.80 = $832.20
contribution margin year 4 = $2,250 - $1,446.16 = $803.84
contribution margin year 4 = $2,250 - $1,475.08 = $774.92
in order to calculate the break even point in units we must determine the total fixed costs per year = $20,750 x 12 = $249,000
break even point in units = $249,000 / $860 = 289.5 ≈ 290 units
sales during first year = 290 x 55% = 159.5 ≈ 160 units
sales during second year = 290 units
sales during third year = 290 x 1.1 = 319 units
sales during fourth year = 319 x 1.15 = 366.85 ≈ 367 units
sales during fifth year = 367 x 1.2 = 440.4 ≈ 440 units
net cash flow year 1 = $137,600 - $249,000 = -$111,400
net cash flow year 2 = $249,400 - $249,000 = $400
net cash flow year 3 = $265,471.80 - $249,000 = $16,471.80
net cash flow year 4 = $295,009.28 - $249,000 = $46,009.28
net cash flow year 5 = $340,964.80 - $249,000 = $91,964.80
using a financial calculator and a 10% discount rate, NPV = -$150,038.78 and IRR = -12.07%
In this exercise we have to use finance knowledge to calculate the quantity and taxes calculated on the product, so we have to:
1) [tex]Break-even \ quantity = 290 units\\NPV = -$150,038.78 \\IRR = -12.07%[/tex]
2) This project should be rejected because it has a negative NPV and IRR. You would not be able to even recover your own investment, the sales output is too small.
Given the values in the text of:
Initial outlay [tex]\$150,000[/tex] Selling price per unit [tex]\$2,250[/tex] Labor [tex]\$595[/tex] Materials [tex]\$795[/tex] Total fixed costs [tex]\$20,750[/tex]
Now calculating the margin for each unit we find that:
Contribution margin per unit: [tex]\$2,250 - (\$595 + \$795) = \$860[/tex] Contribution margin year 3: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,417.80 = \$832.20[/tex] Contribution margin year 4: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,446.16 = \$803.84[/tex] Contribution margin year 5: [tex]\$2,250 - \$1,475.08 = \$774.92[/tex]Knowing that break even point in units it is worth it 290, we have to:
Sales during year 1: [tex]290 * 55\% = 159.5 = 160 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 2: [tex]290 \ units[/tex]Sales during year 3: [tex]290 * 1.1 = 319 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 4: [tex]319 * 1.15 = 366.85 = 367 \ units[/tex] Sales during year 5: [tex]367* 1.2 = 440.4= 440\ units[/tex]
So to calculate the net cash we found that:
Net cash flow year 1: [tex]\$137,600 - \$249,000 = -\$111,400[/tex] Net cash flow year 2: [tex]\$249,400 - \$249,000 = \$400[/tex] Net cash flow year 3: [tex]\$265,471.80 - \$249,000 = \$16,471.80[/tex] Net cash flow year 4: [tex]\$295,009.28 - \$249,000 = \$46,009.28[/tex] Net cash flow year 5: [tex]\$340,964.80 - \$249,000 = \$91,964.80[/tex]

A classified income statement has four major sections—operating revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and non-operating revenues and accounts receivables.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement in the question that a classified income statement has four major sections which are the operating revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and non-operating revenues and accounts receivables is not true.
It should be noted that a classified income statement is made up of the revenue, the expenses and the non operating revenues and expenses.
Thomas Textiles Corporation began November with a budget for 60,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 75,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of November was as follows:
Variable overhead $450,000
Fixed overhead 262,500
Total $712,500
The actual factory overhead was $725,000 for November. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During November, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 64,500 hours.
Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance and the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.
a. Variable factory overhead controllable variance: $
b. Fixed factory overhead volume variance: $
Answer:
a) $12,500 unfavorable
b) 0
Explanation:
variable factory overhead controllable variance = actual variable overhead expense - (standard variable overhead per unit x standard number of units)
actual variable overhead expense = $725,000
standard variable overhead per unit = $712,500 / 60,000 = $11.875
standard number of units = 60,000
variable factory overhead controllable variance = $725,000 - $712,500 = $12,500 unfavorable
Controllable factory overhead is not related to any changes in the actual volume or quantity produced.

Write a two- to three-paragraph response discussing whether you think the patent system is useful and beneficial. Why do you think the patent system is or is not working
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Patent is a term that describes a governmental grant or legal right to inventors of an intellectual property, to refrain or stop others from making, using, selling or importing their invention to and from other country.
Patent system is useful and beneficial because of the following reasons:
1. It allows an inventor the right to stop others from copying, manufacturing, selling or importing individual's invention without the person's permission. This will surely encourage invention from other people, which will lead to more technological advancement in the country.
2. It gives an inventor protection for a pre-determined period. This helps to refrain competitors from competing with the inventor, and in turn, leads to profit maximization for the inventor.
3. It also allows the inventor to license patent for others to use it or can sell. This can be considered as a great source of revenue for inventor's business, by collecting royalties from a patent they have licensed, often in a combination with a registered design and trade mark.
In a duopoly game we observe the following payouts: if the two firms collude they will each earn $50,000. If one firm cheats then he earns $60,000 and the other firm earns -$10,000. If both firms cheat then they each earn zero economic profit. In this game what is the Nash equilibrium?
Answer:
the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude
Explanation:
A duopoly is when there are two firms operating in an industry.
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude because it is the best outcome for both players. if, a player cheats, there is a chance that the other player would cheat and both firms would end up earning a zero economic profit
Based on the various payoffs to be made, the Nash Equilibrium for this game would be that both firms should collude.
The Nash Equilibrium is the outcome that would be most beneficial for both firms to stay in. If either of them leave, they would incur losses.
If both firms decide to collude and one cheats, the other firm would cheat as well to avoid making a loss which would lead to both of them making zero economic profit.
Both firms will therefore collude so as to make $50,000 a piece.
In conclusion, the Nash Equilibrium is collusion between the two firms.

Allison Cobb sells homemade knit scarves for $ 25 each at local craft shows. Her contribution margin ratio is 60%. Currently, the craft show entrance fees cost Allison $ 900 per year. The craft shows are raising their entrance fees by 10% next year. How many extra scarves will Allison have to sell next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs? Begin by identifying the general formula to compute the breakeven sales in units.
Allison will have to sell 6 extra scarves next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs.
Explanation:Formula :
Break-Even point ( in units)= Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)
Given, Price of knit scarves = $25
Contribution margin ratio = 60%
Contribution margin per unit = (Price of knit scarves) x (Contribution margin ratio )
= $(25 x 0.60 )
= $15
Current entrance fees = $900
Percentage in increase in entrance fees = 10%
Increase in entrance fees = 10% of $900 = $90
Extra scarves to be sold [tex]=\dfrac{\text{Increase in extrnace fees}}{\text{Contribution margin per unit}}[/tex]
[tex]\\\\=\dfrac{90}{15}=6[/tex]
Allison will have to sell 6 extra scarves next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs.
Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?
