Answer:
what will bring the excess return back in line with equilibrium is a decrease in the expected returns on the asset
Explanation:
Here in the particular question, we are interested in knowing what will bring the return back in line with equilibrium if a financial asset has an expected return greater than what is necessary to compensate for its risk.
What we need to understand is that If the expected return generated by a financial asset is greater than what is required for compensating the asset's risk, the demand for the financial asset will start rising exponentially such that the price of the financial asset will increase
This in subsequently cause a decrease in the expected returns generated by the financial asset. This process will continue till the excess return being generated by the asset stops to exist and the asset's price becomes at par with the asset's risk-return profile
The Closed Fund is a closed-end investment company with a portfolio currently worth $200 million. It has liabilities of $3 million and 5 million shares outstanding. a. What is the NAV of the fund?
Answer:
$39.40
Explanation:
According to the situation, the solution is as follows
The Net asset value of the fund is
= (Current worth of portfolio - liabilities) ÷ (outstanding shares)
= ($200 million - $3 million) ÷ (5 million shares)
= $39.40
Basically we applied the above formula in order to determine the net asset value of the fund.

Assume Joe Harry sells his 25 percent interest in Joe's S Corp., Inc., to Tyrone on January 29. Using the daily allocation method, how much income does Joe Harry report if Joe's S Corp., Inc., earned $200,000 from January 1 to January 29 and a total of $1,460,000 from January 1 through December 31 (365 days)?
a. $28,000.
b. $50,000.
c. $112,000.
d. $200,000.
e. None of the above.
Answer:
$29,000
Explanation:
Joe sells 25% of his interest to Joe's S corporation
= 25/100
= 0.25
Therefore using the daily allocation method, the amount of income reported if Joe earns $200,000 from January 1st to January 29th and a total of $1,460,000 for 365 days
= 1,460,000/365 days × 29 days × 0.25
= 4,000×29×0.25
= $29,000
Hence the amount of income reported by Joe Harry is $29,000
Based on predicted production of 28,000 units, a company anticipates $574,000 of fixed costs and $511,000 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 26,000 units are
Answer:
$574,000 fixed costs and $474,500 variable cost
Explanation:
According to the predicted production of 28,000 units, a company has a fixed cost of $574,000
The variable costs is $511,000
Therefore the flexible budget amount for the fixed and variable costs when 26,000 units are produced can be calculated as follows
The fixed costs still remains constant at $574,000
Variable cost = 511,000/28,000×26,000
= 18.25×26,000
= $474,500
Hence the fixed cost is $574,000 and the variable cost is $474,500

Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 Stock A 5/22/2008 850 30,600 On October 12, 2019, he sold 1,350 of his shares of Stock A for $38 per share. a. How much gain/loss will George have to recognize if he uses the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold
Answer:
George
Using the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold, the gain to be recognized is $20,400.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Cost/unt
Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 $24
Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 $18

Total cost of sales $30,900
Sales revenue 1,350 x $38 = $51,300
Gain on sale $20,400
b) The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is an inventory method of recognizing the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory based on the assumption that the items that were first brought into inventory are the the ones to be sold. With this method, the cost of sales will be determined by the earlier purchases of inventory while the cost of ending inventory will be calculated based on the later purchases of inventory. Other methods in use in inventory costing are the Last-In, First-Out, the Weighted-Average, and Specific Identification Methods.

Harvey develops gaming apps from home instead of working as an engineer and earning $50,000 a year. He has invested $20,000 to upgrade to the hardware that he needs and estimates his expenses at $17,000 a year. Downloads generated $130,000 in revenue during the first year. What is his economic profit
Answer:
Economic profit =$43,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit is the difference between revenue from from production or service activities and the expenditures incurred.
On the other hand, economic profit includes accounting profit plus opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is the value of the benefits sacrificed in favour of a decision.
For example, the salary of $50,000 forfeited by Harvey in favor of his decision to become an entrepreneur is an example of opportunity cost
Economic profit = Accounting profit- opportunity cost
Accounting profit = Revenue - cost
Accounting profit = 130,000 - (20,000 + 17,000) = 93,000
Economic profit = 93,000 - 50,000 =$43000
Economic profit =$43,000
On January 1, 2017, Sophie's Sunlounge owned 4 tanning beds valued at $20,000. During 2017, Sophie's bought 3 new beds at a total cost of $10 comma 00010,000. At the end of the year, the market value of all of Sophie's beds was $26 comma 00026,000. Calculate Sophie's gross investment and depreciation during 2017. Sophie's gross investment during 2017 was $nothing. Sophie's depreciation during 2017 was $nothing.
Answer:
Net Investment = 4,000
Explanation:
Gross Investment = 10,000
Depreciation = Market Value - Book value
Depreciation =26,000 - 20,000
Depreciation = 6,000
Net Investment = Gross Investment - Depreciation
Net Investment = 10,000 - 6,000
Net Investment = 4,000
NOTE: Gross investment for 2017 will be the 3 new beds that Sophie bought during 2017 at a total cost of 10,000. To calculate Net investment we should calculate depreciation first by deducting book value from market value.

Massena Corporation reported the following data for the month of February:
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Raw materials (Direct and Indirect) $40000 $24000
Work in process $23000 $17000
Finished goods $50000 $72000
Additional information:
Raw materials purchases $63000
Direct labor cost $73700
Manufacturing overhead $55000
cost actually incurred
Raw materials included in
manufacturing overhead costs
incurred as indirect materials $5000
Manufacturing overhead cost
applied to Work in Process $48000
The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:____
$=
Answer:
$186,700
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-
Before that we need to do the following calculations
Raw material consumed = Beginning raw material + Raw material purchases - Ending raw materials - Raw materials included in manufacturing overhead costs as indirect materials
= $40,000 + $63,000 - $24,000 - $5,000
= $74,000
Total manufacturing cost = Beginning work in progress + Raw material consumed + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost - Ending work in progress
= $23,000 + $74,000 + $73,700 + $48,000 - $17,000
= $201,700
Unadjusted Cost of goods sold = Raw materials + Total manufacturing cost - Ending finished goods
= $50,000 + $201,700 - $72,000
= $179,700
Adjusted COGS = Unadjusted Cost of goods sold + Underapplied overhead
= $179,700 + ($55,000 - $48,000)
= $179,700 + $7,000
= $186,700

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 70,000 units of RX5 follows.
Direct materials $ 4.00
Direct labor 8.00
Overhead 9.00
Total costs per unit 21.00
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 70,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
Required:
1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Total incremental costs of: Making the units Buying the units
Total direct materials $ 244,000 $ 0
Total direct labor 488,000 0
Variable overhead costs 122,000 0
Cost to buy the units 1,159,000
Total costs $ 854,000 $ 1,159,000
Should the company continue to manufacture the part,
or should it buy the part from the outside supplier? Make the units
Answer:
1.Incremental cost of making and buying the RX5 is $434,000
2. Since the cost of buying is more than the cost of producing by $305,000, therefore, the company should continue to produce the component parts.
Explanation:
1.We need to first compute the cost of making the component part.
Cost of making are;
Direct material = 70,000 units × $4
= $280,000
Direct labor = $70,000 units × $8
= $560,000
Variable over head cost = 70,000 units × $9 × 20%
= $126,000
Therefore, total cost of making the components = direct material cost + direct labor cost + variable overhead cost
= $280,000 + $560,000 + $126,000
= $966,000
Also, total cost of buying the components
= Units × RX5 per unit
= 70,000 × $20
= $1,400,000
Therefore,
Incremental cost = Cost of making - Cost of buying
= $966,000 - $1,400,000
=$434,000
2. Total costs of making the units = Total direct material cost + Total direct labor costs + Variable overhead costs
= $244,000 + 488,000 + $122,000
= $854,000
Since total cost to buy is $1,159,000
Total incremental cost = Total cost of making the units - Total cost of buying the units
= $854,000 - $1,159,000
= $305,000
calculate the operating cash flow in Year 1. All numbers are incremental. Sales $42,500 Depreciation $10,000 Other Operating Costs $17,000 Interest Expense $4,000 Tax rate 21%
Answer:
$20,075
Explanation:
Operating income of year 1 = Sales revenue in year 1 - Depreciation - Other operating costs
= 42,500 - 10,000 - 17,000
=15,500
The tax rate is 35%. Tax amount in year 1 = Tax rate * Operating income in year 1
=0.35 * 15,500
=$5,425
Year 1 Cash flow = Sales revenue in year 1 - Other operating costs - Tax amount
=42,500 - 17,000 - 5,425
=$20,075
Therefore, $20,075 is the Year 1 Cash flow
Harpeth Valley Water District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.63 percent and semiannual payments. The bond matures in 23 years, with a yield to maturity of 4.17 percent, and a par value of $5,000. What is the market price of the bond
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 5000 * 0.0363 * 1/2 = $90.75
Total periods (n)= 23 * 2 = 46
r = 4.17% * 1/2 = 2.085% or 0.02085
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 90.75 * [( 1 - (1+0.02085)^-46) / 0.02085] + 5000 / (1+0.02085)^46
Bond Price = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12

Smith Services, Inc., was a trucking company established in 2000 and owned by Tony Smith as the sole shareholder. Smith Services, Inc., had an account with Laker Express, a fuel provider, and often would charge fuel purchases for the company trucks to that account. Smith’s employees would fuel their vehicles and sign the account slip with a notation that the purchase was for Smith Services, Inc. Laker Express would bill Smith Services regularly for the charges on the account. After several months of low business, Smith Services ceased doing business and was dissolved in 2013, with its assets being distributed to creditors. Laker Express only recovered a small part of the amount owed by Smith Services, Inc. Tony Smith then opened up a new trucking service business as a sole proprietor. Laker Express sought to recover Smith Services' unpaid fuel charges, which amounted to about $35,000, from Smith. He argued that he was not personally liable for a corporate debt. Should a court hold Tony Smith personally liable?
Assume that in addition to the facts given, that evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles. Does this change the outcome?
1. Given this new evidence, a court likely (would, would not) find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.
2. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was undercapitalized.
3. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.
4. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation failed to comply with the required corporate formalities and meetings.
5. The court likely (would, would not) find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.
6. Because of these findings, the court likely (would, would not) pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.
Answer:
Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express
a. A court should not hold Tony Smith personally liable for the corporate debt of Smith Services, Inc to the tune of $35,000 representing unpaid fuel charges to Laker Express. This decision is given based on the facts presented in the case, so far.
b. Assuming that in addition to the given facts, evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles, then this evidence changes the outcome. Smith Service, Inc. has met one of the conditions for piercing the corporate veil. This condition is commingling the corporate account with personal expenses and use of corporate assets. This may also question if proper accounting records were being kept at the Smith Services.

Explanation:
To protect the legal status of corporations like Smith Services Inc. as limited liability entities, State courts reluctantly pierce the corporate veil, unless the requirements, which vary from state to state, are met. If Tony Smith does not the court to pierce the corporate veil of Smith Services, Inc., his former company should have used corporate assets only for corporate purposes.

Sales $12,375,000
Gross profit 5,200,000
Indirect labor 410,000
Indirect materials 180,000
Other factory overhead 810,000
Materials purchased 4,125,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 7,880,000
Materials inventory, end of period 290,000
Using this information, determine the following amounts:
a. Cost of goods sold $
b. Direct materials cost $
c. Direct labor cost $
Answer:
(A) Cost of goods sold=$7,175,000
(B) Direct material cost= $3,655,000
(C) Direct labor cost= $2,825,000
Explanation:
(A) The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows
Cost of goods sold= Sales-gross profit
Sales= $12,375,000
Gross profit= $5,200,000
Cost of goods sold= $12,375,000-$5,200,000
= $7,175,000
(B) The direct materials cost can be calculated as follows
Direct cost of materials= materials purchased-indirect materials-materials inventory
Materials purchased= 4,125,000
Indirect materials= 180,000
Materials inventory= 290,000
Direct materials cost= 4,125,000-180,000-290,000
= $3,655,000
(C) The direct labor costs can be calculated as follows
Direct labor costs= Total manufacturing cost for the specified period-direct materials-factory overhead
Total manufacturing costs= 7,880,000
Direct materials= 3,655,000
Factory overhead= indirect labor+indirect materials+other factory overhead
= 410,000+180,000+810,000
= 1,400,000
Direct labor costs= 7,880,000-3,655,000-1,400,000
= $2,825,000

Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
Answer:
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
MNL Corporation will have no tax effects on the grant date and (5/1/Y1) and the date that Cammie sold the stocks (10/1/Y6).
The only tax effect results from the exercise date (8/15/Y5). Tax savings = (total amount of stocks exercised x market price at the time) x marginal tax rate = (1,000 stocks x $40) x tax rate = $40,000 x tax rate
Since no marginal tax rate is given in the question, we can calculate it for different options:
if tax rate = 21%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 21% = $8,400if tax rate = 35%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 35% = $14,000When conducting a hypothesis test, we ______and then evaluate the test results to determine if there is enough evidence to _________.
Answer: A. Assume that the null hypothesis is true; reject the null hypothesis
Explanation:
The Null Hypothesis in a research is the theory that there is no change between variables or subject that the research wishes to study. This theory is always assumed to be true before the research is conducted.
After the data and test results are analysed, depending on the evidence, the Null Hypothesis is either Rejected or Not Rejected. To reject the Null Hypothesis, the evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt.
Stocks are shares of ownership in a company. A stock certificate represents stock ownership. It specifies the name of the company, the number of shares owned, and the type of stock it represents. Today, stock is generally held electronically; that is, the owners don't get a paper certificate unless they specifically want to hold the certificates themselves.
Please evaluate the following statements from the standpoint of the issuing company and the place each statement in the category of Advantages or Disadvantages Disadvantage
Advantages Dividends
1. Repaid
2. Shareholders
3. Future Buy Back
4. Net Profit After Taxes
5. One Vote Per Share
Answer:
Advantages
Dividends
These are payments to shareholders as a way to share the profits the company has accumulated.
This is an advantage to the issuing company because they are usually not under any obligation to pay Dividends with respect to common Equity. As a result profits can be plowed back into the company to increase profitability.
Repaid
This refers to the fact that shareholders do not have to be repaid for their investment like debt holders are. Stock Holders bought a piece of the company instead of loaning money to the company so they do not have to be paid back. This is an advantage because it frees up Cashflow for the company as well as allowing it to maintain a better credit rating due to lower debts.
Future Buy-Back
This is a clause inherent in most shares. It means that the Issuing company can choose to buy back the stock at a given time in future.
This is an Advantage because it allows the Issuing company to regain control of the company at a future date.
Disadvantages.
Shareholders
Shareholders are people or entities who buy shares in the Issuing company. As such, they are owners in the company and have voting rights on decisions that the company makes. This is a disadvantage because it means loss of Independence for the company who now legally have to take the opinions of shareholders into account.
Net Profit After Tax
This is money that the company has after paying off interests and then taxes. This is the money that the company retains. Having shareholders means that a company may have to pay shareholders from this amount instead of retaining all of it thereby making it at a disadvantage to the Issuing company.
One Vote per Share
This means that every shareholder has a vote for every share they hold in the company. This means that Shareholders therefore have a say in the affairs of the company. This is a disadvantage to the Issuing company because it means a loss of Independence for them when decisions need to be made.
Marcie and her husband, Franklin, each own 50 shares of Chestnut, Inc. Sally, Marcie's old high school friend, owns the remaining 50 shares (150 total shares outstanding). Chestnut redeems 40 of Marcie's shares for $38,000 (her adjusted basis was $5,000). What is the tax treatment of the basis of the shares redeemed
Answer:
$38,000 Dividend
Explanation:
Based on the information given the tax treatment of the redemption to Marcie will be $38,000 dividend reason been that her husband shares was been attributed to her, and Since she owns 60 shares her remaining 10 shares including that of her husband 50 shares of Chestnut's will be 110 shares calculated as 150 shares - 40 shares outstanding.
Therefore when we look at this 60 shares/110 shares is greater than 50% which means that Marcie fails the 50% test which makes the redemption to be treated as a dividend.
Hence, the tax treatment of the basis of the shares redeemed will be $38,000 Dividend.
Ringmeup Inc. had net income of $126,500 for the year ended December 31, 2019. At the beginning of the year, 45,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 18,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,300 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ringmeup paid the annual dividend on the 7,000 shares of 4.25%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year.
Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Answer:
Earning per share = $3.18
Explanation:
In order to calculate basic earning per share firstly, we need to calculate the weighted average number of share outstanding
Shares months (months x shares)
1 January to 30 May 45,000 4 $180,000
1 May to 30 November 18,000 7 $126,000
1 Dec to 31 December 58,700 1 $58,700
Total 12 $364,700
Weighted average = $364,700/12
Weighted average = 30,391
Dividends required on preferred stock = 7000 x 4.25% x $100
Dividends required on preferred stock = $29,750
Net income available for shareholders = Net Income - dividend
Net income available for shareholders = $126,500 - $29,750
Net income available for shareholders = $96,750
Earning per share = Net Income/ no of shares
Earning per share = $96,750/30,391
Earning per share = $3.18
The city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail. It will cost $1 comma 000 per km to build the trail and $340 per km per year to maintain it over its 22-year life. If the city's MARR is 11% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the trail has no residual value at the end of 22 years.
Answer:
equivalent uniform annual cost = $1,849.25
Explanation:
Initial cost $4,000
then 22 cash outflows of $1,360
discount rate 11%
using a financial calculator, we determine the NPV = -$15,119.01
EAC = (NPV x r) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
EAC = (-$15,119.01 x 11%) / [1 - (1 + 11%)⁻²²] = -$1,663.09 / 0.89933 = -$1,849.25
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $50.15 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 3.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.80 in one year. What is the total return on this stock?
Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the total return on the stock.
From the question, Price = $50.15
Mathematically;
P = D1/Ke-g
D1 = $3.80
g = 3.60%
So let’s calculate Ke-g
50.15 = 3.8/ke-g
Ke-g = 3.8/50.15
Ke-g = 7.6%
but g = 3.6%
Total return Ke = 3.6% + g = 3.6% + 7.6% = 11.2%
A 4-year project has an annual operating cash flow of $54,000. At the beginning of the project, $4,500 in net working capital was required, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm also spent $22,900 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $4,860 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $5,820. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow
Answer:
$64,704
Explanation:
Year 4 cash flow = operating cash flow + non operating cash flow
non operating cash flow = salvage value + net working capital - tax(Salvage value - book value)
$5,820 + $4,500 - 0.4($5,820 - $4,860) = $10,704
$10,704 + $54,000 = $64,704
