Suppose that a firm has both fixed-rate and floating-rate debt outstanding. What effect will a decline in interest rates have on the firm's times-interest-earned ratio
Answer and Explanation:
The times interest earned ratio refers to the ration that shows a relationship between the earnings before interest and taxes and the interest payments. In the case when the rate of interest declines so the interest payment would also be reduced that result in an increment of the times earned ratio keeping the EBIT unchanged.
This represents that the company has the good capacity to coverup the interest payments

How much would a worker have to be paid per hour in 2016 to keep her real wage the same as in 1980 if she earned $10 per hour in 1980
Answer:
In order to calculate this question we need the CPI for both 1980 and 2016. I looked for them on the internet and found that the CPI for 1980 was 82.4 and the CPI for 2016 is 240.
This means that in real dollars (dollars adjusted to inflation), $10 back in 1980 were $10/0.824 = $12.1359
In order to convert 1980 real dollars to nominal dollars in 2016, we have to multiply $12.1359 x 2.4 = $29.1262 ≈ $29.13.
This means that $10 back in 1980 could purchase the same amount of goods or services that $29.13 dollars purchased in 2016.
Bonita Marina has 300 available slips that rent for $900 per season. Payments must be made in full by the start of the boating season, April 1, 2021. The boating season ends October 31, and the marina has a December 31 year-end. Slips for future seasons may be reserved if paid for by December 31, 2021. Under a new policy, if payment for 2022 season slips is made by December 31, 2021, a 5% discount is allowed. If payment for 2023 season slips is made by December 31, 2021, renters get a 20% discount (this promotion hopefully will provide cash flow for major dock repairs).
On December 31, 2017, all 300 slips for the 2018 season were rented at full price. On December 31, 2018, 240 slips were reserved and paid for the 2019 boating season, and 56 slips were reserved and paid for the 2020 boating season.

What is the PV of an ordinary annuity with 7 annual payments of $10,000 each if the appropriate annual interest rate is 5%?
Answer:
PV= $57,8563.73
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 7 years
Annual cash flow= $10,000
Interest rate= 5%
First, we need to calculate future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {10,000*[(1.05^7) - 1]} / 0.05
FV= $81,420.08
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 81,420.08/1.05^7
PV= $57,8563.73

Sultan Company uses an activity-based costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates of cost and activity for its five activity cost pools:_____.
Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Expected Overhead Cost Expected Activity Labor-related Direct labor-hours $ 269,100 29,900 DLHs Purchase orders Number of orders $ 11,000 220 orders Parts management Number of part types $ 78,440 106 part types Board etching Number of boards $ 85,050 1,890 boards General factory Machine-hours $ 242,400 20,200 MHs
Required:
1. Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.
2. The expected activity for the year was distributed among the company’s four products as follows:_________.
Expected Activity Activity Cost Pool Product A Product B Product C Product D Labor-related (DLHs) 7,500 13,400 3,800 5,200 Purchase orders (orders) 66 30 32 92 Parts management (part types) 29 19 47 11 Board etching (boards) 580 750 560 0 General factory (MHs) 2,600 7,300 3,700 6,600 Using the ABC data, determine the total amount of overhead cost assigned to each product.
Answer:
Activity Activity Expected Expected
cost pool measure overhead cost activity
Labor-related Direct labor-hours $269,100 29,900 DLHs
Purchase orders Number of orders $11,000 220 orders
Parts management # of part types $78,440 106 part types
Board etching # of boards $85,050 1,890 boards
General factory Machine-hours $242,400 20,200 MHs
1) cost per direct labor hour = $269,100 / 29,900 = $9
cost per order = $11,000 / 220 = $50
cost per number of parts = $78,440 / 106 = $740
cost per # of boards = $85,050 / 1,890 = $45
cost per machine hour = $242,400 / 20,200 = $12
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Product A Product B Product C Product D
Labor-related (DLHs) 7,500 13,400 3,800 5,200
Purchase orders (orders) 66 30 32 92
Parts management 29 19 47 11
Board etching (boards) 580 750 560 0
General factory (MHs) 2,600 7,300 3,700 6,600
2) Using the ABC data, determine the total amount of overhead cost assigned to each product.
overhead cost assign to product A = ($9 x 7,500) + ($50 x 66) + ($740 x 29) + ($45 x 580) + ($12 x 2,600) = $149,560
overhead cost assign to product B = ($9 x 13,400) + ($50 x 30) + ($740 x 19) + ($45 x 750) + ($12 x 7,300) = $257,510
overhead cost assign to product C = ($9 x 3,800) + ($50 x 32) + ($740 x 47) + ($45 x 560) + ($12 x 3,700) = $140,180
overhead cost assign to product D = ($9 x 5,200) + ($50 x 92) + ($740 x 11) + ($45 x 0) + ($12 x 6,600) = $138,740

Credit Service Revenue (Equity) $22,000
To record the receipt of cash for counseling services performed.
Debit Prepaid Rent (Assets) $18,000
Credit Cash Account (Assets) $18,000
To record the payment of cash for office space.
Debit Rent Expense (Equity) $16,500
Credit Prepaid Rent (Assets) $16,500
To record the rent expense for the year.
B. Life, Inc. Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2018:
Service Revenue $22,000
Rent expense 16,500
Net Income $5,500
C. The amount of rent expense to be recognized in 2019 is $18,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Service Revenue = $22,000
Prepaid Rent = $18,000 (from February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019)
Rent Expense for 2018 = $16,500 ($18,000 * 11/12)
b) The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. The equation shows that every business transaction affects the assets, liabilities, and equity. This is why it is always in balance with every given transaction.
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of donuts is $1.50 each. Complete the following by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
a. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $1.80 each for donuts.
b. Due to new regulations, donut shops that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
c. The government prohibits donut shops from selling donuts for more than $1.10 each.
Answer:
Option A is a price floor, option B is binding and option C is price ceiling.
Explanation:
It is stated that the equilibrium price of a donut is $1.50.
If the government institutes a legal minimum price of $1.80 for a donut, that would be an example of price floor because the price cannot be lower than that. $1.80 is higher than $1.50 so it serves a purpose.
Option B is binding since any donut shop that wants to pay better wages is prohibited from hiring more workers.
The government prohibiting donut shops from selling a donut for more than $1.10 is an example of floor ceiling because the price can not go higher than $1.10.
I hope this answer helps.

levon files a suit against manufacturing corporation the defendant believes that even if the plaintiff manufactoring corporation should
Answer: d. file a motion to dismiss.
Explanation:
A Motion to Dismiss can be filed by either the Plaintiff or the Defendant but is usually done by the defendant when they believe that there is no validity to the claims of the plaintiff.
In this instance, Manufacturing Corporation does not believe that it is liable for the claims made by the Plaintiff which means they are question the validity of those claims. They can therefore file a motion to dismiss the case.
Yancey Productions is a film studio that uses a job-order costing system. The company’s direct materials consist of items such as costumes and props. Its direct labor includes each film’s actors, directors, and extras. The company’s overhead costs include items such as utilities, depreciation of equipment, senior management salaries, and wages of maintenance workers. Yancey applies its overhead cost to films based on direct labor-dollars. At the beginning of the year, Yancey made the following estimates:
Direct labor-dollars to support all productions $8,000,000
Fixed overhead cost $4,800,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-dollar $0.05
Required:
1. Compute the pre-determined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Yancey produced a film titled You Can Say That Again that incurred the following costs:
Direct materials $1,259,000
Direct labor cost $2,400,000
Compute the total job cost for this particular film.
Answer:
Yancey Productions
1. Predetermined overhead rate = $0.65
2. Computation of the total job cost for "You Can Say That Again:"
Direct materials $1,259,000
Direct labor cost $2,400,000
Overhead cost $1,560,000 ($0.65 * $2,400,000)
Total job cost = $5,219,000
Explanation:
a) Estimates:
Direct labor-dollars to support all productions $8,000,000
Fixed overhead cost $4,800,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-dollar $0.05
b) Computation of total estimated overhead costs:
Fixed overhead cost = $4,800,000
Variable overhead = 400,000 ($0.05 * $8,000,000 )
Total overhead cost = $5,200,000
c) Computation of predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead costs divided by direct labor-dollars
= $5,200,000/$8,000,000
= $0.65

Suppose you’ll have an annual nominal income of $65,000 for each of the next three years, and the inflation rate is 5 percent per year.
Required:
a. Find the real value of your $65,000 salary for each of the next three years.
b. If you have a COLA in your contract, and the inflation rate is 5 percent per year, what is the real value of your salary of 70.000 for each year?
Answer:
a) real income in one year = $65,000/1.05 = $61,904.76
real income in two year = $65,000/1.05² = $58,956.92
real income in three year = $65,000/1.05³ = $56,149.44
b) if you have a COLA agreement, then your salary will adjust to inflation. This means that your real salary will remain the same during the 3 years = $70,000 per year.
In this case, your nominal salary will increase by 5% each year, but your salary will remain equal.
Zander Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In July the company completed job F21X that consisted of 29,850 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The job cost sheet for job F21X shows the following costs: Beginning balance $80,595 Direct materials $937,290 Direct labor cost $316,410 Manufacturing overhead cost applied $543,270 During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $537,300 and 19,900 completed units from job F21X were sold. No other products were sold during the month. The unadjusted cost of goods sold (in other words, the cost of goods sold BEFORE adjustment for any underapplied or overapplied overhead) for July is closest to:_______.
Answer:
The answer is "$ 1,251,710".
Explanation:
Formula:[tex]\text{Overall cost for Job F21X completed during the month = } \\\text{Beginning balance + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied }[/tex]
[tex]= \$ 80,595 + \$ 937,290 +\$ 316,410 + \$ 543,270 \\\\= \$ 1,877,565[/tex]
Complete unit in Job = 29,850 units
Per unit cost units
[tex]= \$ 62.9[/tex] per unit
Sold units= 19,900 units

Rustafson Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of consumer goods. The company's activity-based costing system has the following seven activity cost pools:
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Labor-related $16,800 2,000 direct labor-hours
Machine-related $16,000 8,000 machine-hours
Machine setups $30,400 800 setups
Production orders $6,600 200 orders
Product testing $12,000 500 tests
Packaging $51,000 3,400 packages
General factory $55,600 2,000 direct labor-hours
1. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.
2. Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate, assuming that the company uses a single plantwide pre-determined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the activity rate for each activity cost pool, we need to use the following formula on each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 16,800/2,000= $8.4 per direct labor hour
Machine-related= 16,000/8,000= $2 per machine-hour
Machine setups= 30,400/800= $38 per setup
Production orders= 6,600/200= $33 per order
Product testing= 12,000/500= $24 per test
Packaging= 51,000/3,400= $15 per package
General factory= 55,600/2,000= $27.8 per direct labor-hour
Now, the plantwide predetermined factory overhead:
Total overhead= $188,400
Total direct labor hours= 2,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 188,400/2,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $94.2 per direct labor hour
Walker & Co. (Walker) signed a written contract to lease a large neon advertising sign to Herbert Harrison, who is in the dry-cleaning business, for $148.50 a month. The contract stated that Walker, as the lessor of the sign, would "at its expense maintain and service the sign [and would perform] cleaning and repainting of sign in original color scheme as often as deemed necessary by lessor to keep sign in first-class advertising condition and make all necessary repairs to sign and equipment installed by lessor." A few weeks the sign was installed, someone hit the sign with a tomato and "little spider cobwebs" appeared in the sign's corners. Harrison repeatedly asked Walker to fix the sign, but Walker did not do so. As a result, Harrison made no further payments and Walker sued Harrison for remainder of the lease payments pursuant to the contract's terms. Did Walker make a material breach of the contract?
Answer:
I believe that Walter breached the contract because they failed to clean the sign, but I wouldn't consider it a material breach (this would be a non-material breach).
A material breach of a contract takes place when the breaching party does something (or fails to do something) that goes against the basic reason why the contract was signed. A material breach would be that Walter didn't provide the sign or that the sign never worked (didn't turn on). But in this case, the sign was a little bit dirty with little spider cobwebs appearing at its corners.
Walter broke the contract by failing to wipe the sign, but it wasn't a material breach in my opinion (this would be a non-material breach).
When a breaching party does anything (or fails to do something) that goes against the core reason for the contract's signing, it is called a substantial breach of contract.
About material breach:
A material breach would be if Walter failed to give the sign or if the sign was never turned on. However, the sign was a little dusty in this case, with small spider cobwebs emerging at its corners.
For example, if you hired a contractor to build a house, a substantial breach would be if the contractor failed to complete the project.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by producing shoes in Indonesia, where you could hire women for $100 a month to assemble them. You also know that human rights advocates recently accused a competing shoe manufacturer of engaging in exploitative labor practices because the manufacturer sold shoes made by Indonesian women for similarly low wages. You personally do not believe that paying $100 a month to Indonesian women is unethical because you know that in their country, $100 a month is a better-than-average wage rate.
Write 1-2 paragraphs explaining whether you would have the shoes manufactured in Indonesia and make higher profits for the company or avoid the risk of negative publicity and its potential adverse consequences for the firm's reputation. Are there other alternatives? Consider the impact of the route you choose and short-term vs. long-term profits, as well as the ethical decision making criteria.
Answer:
The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.
On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.
The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.
There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.
If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
Business ethics applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organization.
What is business ethics?Business ethics is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics, that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business environment.
If you analyze this from a business ethics point of view, something else is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, Burma, Pakistan, Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $ 100 salary will allow the family to live a dignified and possibly successful life.
They will have the best way of life possible. Each Indonesian worker represents one of the poorest families in Indonesia.
On the other hand, American families are more likely to be harmed, but it is also much easier for an American worker to find another job that pays the normal wage (according to US standards) and allows us to live a normal life.
Hence, this is the right approach to following ethics in business wherein the business focuses on the right path for its growth and survival in the market. Paying $100 to Indonesian workers and producing the shoes will give them a stable life to lead.

Manta Ray Company manufactures diving masks with a variable cost of $25. The masks sell for $34. Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for the most recent year was $792,000. Actual production was equal to planned production.
Required: Under each of the following conditions, state (a) whether operating income is higher under variable or absorption costing and (b) the amount of the difference in reported operating income under the two methods. Treat each condition as an independent case.
1. Production ............................................... 110,000 units
Sales ........................................................ 108,000 units
2. Production ............................................... 90,000 units
Sales ........................................................ 95,000 units
3. Production ............................................... 79,200 units
Sales ........................................................ 79,200 units
Answer:
(First Case) Absorption cost income is higher by 14,200 dollars
(Second Case) variable costing income is higher by 44,000 dollars
(Third Case) they are equal as produciton = sales
Explanation:
the difference arises when production differs with sales.
that's because variable will consider the entire amount of fixed cost as cost of the period while, absorption will capitalizethe fixed cost through inventory. If production matches sales then in both cases the fixed cost are entire expressed in the income statement. If they don't the difference is the difference times unit fixed cost.
(First Case)
fixed cost per unit $792,000 / 110,000 = $7.2
difference (110,000 - 108,000) x $7.2 = $14,200
(Second Case)
fixed cost per unit: 792,000 / 110,000 = $8.8
difference (90,000 - 95,000) x $8.8 = $44,000
(Third Case)
They match thus, no difference arises.

Key figures for the recent two years of both Apple and Google follow. Apple Google $ millions Current Year Prior Year Current Year Prior Year Net income $ 48,351 $ 45,687 $ 12,662 $ 19,478 Net sales 229,234 215,639 110,855 90,272 Current assets 128,645 106,869 124,308 105,408 Current liabilities 100,814 79,006 24,183 16,756 Required: 1. Compute profit margins for (a) Apple and (b) Google for the two years of data reported above. 2. In the current year, which company is more successful on the basis of profit margin? 3. Compute current ratios for (a) Apple and (b) Google for the two years reported above. 4. In the current year, which company has the better ability to pay short-term obligations according to the current ratio?
Answer:
Please see solution below
Explanation:
1. Profit margins :
= Net income / sales
Current year.
• Apple
= (48,351/229,234) × 100
= 21.1%
= (12,662/110,855) ×100
= 11.4%
Prior year
• Apple
= (45,687/215,639) × 100
= 21.2%
= (19,478/90,272) × 100
= 21.6%
2. Apple is more successful . This is because the profit margin of Apple is higher than the profit margin of Google in the current year.
3. Current ratio
=Current asset / Current liabilities
Current year
• Apple
= 128,645/100,814
= 1.28 times
= 124,308/24,183
= 5.14 times
Prior year
• Apple
= 106,869/79,006
= 1.35 times
= 105,408/16,756
= 6.29 times
4. Google, because it has the highest current ratio, compared to Apple, in the current year.
We are evaluating a project that costs $864,000, has an eight-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that de-preciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 71,000 units per year. Price per unit is $49, variable cost per unit is $33, and fixed costs are $765,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project.
Required:
a. Calculate the accounting break-even point. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point?
b. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a 500-unit decrease in projected sales.
c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a $1 decrease in estimated variable costs.
Answer:
Depreciation = $864,000/8 = $108,000 per year
a. Accounting breakeven =
= ($765,000 + 108,000)/($49 - $33)
= 54,563 units
b&c. OCF base= [(P – v)Q – FC](1 – tc) + tc D
OCF base= [($49 – 33)(71,000) – $765,000](0.65) + 0.35($108,000)
OCF base=[$1,136,000-$765,000]0.65 +$37,800
OCF base= [$371,000] 0.65 +$37,800
OCF base=$241,150+$37,800
OCF base=$278,950
Calculating the NPV using our base-case projections. Also, no salvage value, hence the NPV=
NPV(base) = –$864,000+ $278,950 (PVIFA10%,8)
NPV(base) = -864,000+$278,950 x 5.335
NPV(base) = -864,000+ 1,488,178
NPV(base) = $624,178
We will use sales of 72,000 units in calculating the sensitivity of the NPV
OCF new = [($37 - 21)(72,000) - $765,000](0.65) + 0.35(108,000)
OCF new = [ $1,152,000-$765,000]0.65+0.35 (108,000)
OCF new = [387,000] 0.65 + $37,800
OCF new = $251,550+37,800
OCF new = $289,350
NPVnew= –$864,000 + $289,350(PVIFA15%,8)
NPVnew=-$864,000+$289,350 x 5.335
NPVnew=- $679,661
So, the change in NPV for every unit change in sales is:
DNPV/DS = ($624,178 – 679,661)/(71,000 – 72,000)
NPV/DS = +$55.48
If sales were to drop by 500 units, then NPV would drop by:
NPV drop = $55.48(500)
NPV drop = $27,742.
SNC is considering an opportunity to add a large customer, Midwest Miracles, a recently launched weight-loss center that is in a precarious financial situation because its entrepreneurial founder took on a significant debt burden. Acquiring Midwest Miracles would allow SNC to increase sales by 30% in 2019. Some analysts have forecasted a 20% probability that Midwest Miracles will declare bankruptcy, and they estimate a recovery rate for suppliers of 50%. Midwest Miracles would be willing to pay significantly higher prices for SNC's products, which can increase the EBIT margin of the whole company by almost 1%. However, Midwest Miracles is likely to take a longer-than-average time to pay its invoices. Therefore, SNC's DSO is likely to increase significantly. What would you like to do about this opportunity?

Answer:
Even without calculating any extra costs related to the long collection time of Midwest Miracles's invoices, the expected value of selling products to them is negative. This means that if SNC sells products to Midwest, they should expect to lose money. That doesn't make any sense at all, therefore, SNC should not take this opportunity.
The reason why Midwest Miracles is willing to pay a higher price than other retailers is simple, they are desperate. They will do anything to try to save themselves, even if it means hurting other companies if they fail to do so.
The reason why a good credit score lowers interest rates, while a terrible credit score means that no bank will lend you any money is simply, businesses are risk averse. That is why no bank lends any money to Donald Trump. He has filed for bankruptcy so many times that no bank will risk lending money to him.
Angel investors take this type of risks, but if they are successful, a $200,000 investment may result in a $10 billion gain. In this case, you have to choose between losing a lot of money and earning a much smaller amount. Accepting this type of clients will soon make SNC file for bankruptcy itself.
Explanation:
If Midwest Miracles declares bankruptcy, then SNC will lose $8,439,000 x 50% (recovery rate for suppliers) = $4,219,500. If it doesn't declare bankruptcy, then SNC will make additional profits of $916,000 per year.
We must determine the expected value of MW's operation:
expected value = (-$4,219,500 x 20%) + ($916,000 x 80%) = -$843,900 + $732,800 = -$111,100
