What is the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) based on the following information: Capital asset turnover ratio: 2.5 Forecasted revenues: $120 Forecasted costs of goods sold: $80
Answer:
Forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
Explanation:
First note that Capital asset is the same thing as property, plan and equipment (PP&E).
In order to calculate this, we therefore use the formula for calculating the Capital asset turnover ratio which is the ratio of forecasted revenues to forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) as follows:
Capital asset turnover = Forecasted revenues / Forecasted value of PP&E
Substituting for the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Forecasted value of PP&E, we have:
2.5 = 120 / Forecasted value of PP&E
Forecasted value of PP&E = 120 / 2.5 = $48
Therefore, the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
The forecasted value of property, plan and equipment for the period for the statement quoted above is $48. The calculations can be implied by using the values given in the formula.
The value of the property, plan and equipment is important for estimating the current, short run and long run capital requirements of the firm for a given period using the ratios.
The values given to us are as the capital assets turnover ratio is 2.5 and the forecasted costs of goods sold is $80 whereas the forecasted revenues of the firm is $120.The calculation of estimated property, plan and equipment of a firm can be calculated by using the formula as given below by putting the available values.[tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {Forecasted\ Revenues}{Capital\ Assets\ Turnover\ Ratio}\\\\\\\\\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {\$120}{2.5}[/tex]We get the forecasted PP&E of the firm as below, [tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \$48[/tex]Therefore the value obtained for the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48.Hence, the correct statement of the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48 when the forecasted revenues are $120 and the assets turnover ratio stands at 2.5.

Moss County Bank agrees to lend the Sunland Company $605000 on January 1. Sunland Company signs a $605000, 6%, 9-month note. What is the adjusting entry required if Sunland Company prepares financial statements on June 30
Answer:
DR Interest Expense $18,150
CR Interest Payable $18,150
Explanation:
June 30 would mean that 6 months have elapsed since the note was issued. The interest rate is an annual one so will have to be adjusted for 6 months.
The interest expense so far will be;
= 605,000 * 6% * [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= $18,150
This figure is to be debited to the Interest Expense account to show that it is an expense and credited to the Interest Payable account.
Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 12 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 20 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 8 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing
Answer: 13%
Explanation:
By substituting 20% of debt for debt yielding 8%, the company now has 20% financing from debt and 80% from equity.
The expected return on common stock after refinancing can be calculated by;
Return after refinancing = Return before refinancing + [tex]\frac{Debt}{Equity}[/tex](return before refinancing - Debt yield)
= 12% + [tex]\frac{0.2}{0.8} (0.12 - 0.08)[/tex]

Given the following cash flows for a capital project, calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent.
Year
0 1 2 3 4 5
Glass Flows $51100 $13150 $16050 $23900 $12400 $3050
The discounted payback period is:________.
a. 0.39 year longer than the payback period.
b. 0.64 year longer than the payback period.
c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.
d. 0.25 years longer than the payback period.
Answer:
c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.
Explanation:
Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
the amounted invested in the project = $-51100
In year 1, the amount recovered = $-51,100 + $13150 = $-37,950
In year 2, the amount recovered = $-37,950 + $16050 = $-21,900
In year 3, the amount recovered = $-21,900 + $23900 = $2000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 + 21,900 / 23900 = 2.92 years
Discounted payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
discounted cash flows
$13150 / 1.08 = $12,175.93
$16050 / 1.08^2 = $13,760.29
$23900 / 1.08^3 = $18972.59
$12400 / 1.08^4 = $9114.37
the amount is recovered in 3 + 6191.19 / 9114.37 = 3.68 years
the discounted payback is longer than the payback period by 3.68 years - 2.92 years = 0.76 years
Braynerd Chemicals sells 40 million shares of stock in an SEO—25 million being primary shares issued by the company and 15 million being secondary shares sold by investors in the company. At the time of the sale, Braynerd's stock was selling at $21.00 per share. If the underwriter charges 5% of the gross proceeds as a fee, how much money was raised in the sale?
Answer: $498.75 million
Explanation:
Of the 40 million shares sold by Braynerd Chemicals, 15 million were sold as secondary shares by investors in the company. The proceeds from these 15 million will therefore not go to the company but to the investors so they are not counted.
Gross total money raised will be;
= 25 million * 21.00
= $525 million
The Underwriter charges 5% of the gross amount as a fee so the Net amount raised will be;
Net Total = 525 * ( 1 - 5%)
Net Total = $498.75 million

If a check correctly written and paid by the bank for $936 is incorrectly recorded in the company's books for $963, how should this error be treated on the bank reconciliation
Answer:
The difference of $27 will be added in the bank reconciliation statement.
Explanation:
With regards to the above information,
Since bank paid $936 but was recorded as $963 in the company's books.
The difference would therefore be ;
= $963 - $936
= $27.
This means that in the company's books, the balance is shown less than the actual balance by $27
Therefore, $27 will be added to the balance in the bank with regards to the books while preparing the bank reconciliation statement.
Hence, $27 which is $963 - $936 will be added in the bank reconciliation statement.

Zelda Partnership holds cash of $30,000 and inventory worth $60,000 (basis equals $42,000). Zelda makes a $30,000 cash liquidating distribution to Link, a one-third partner with an outside basis of $24,000. How much gain or loss, if any, does Link recognize
Answer:
6,000 ordinary gain
Explanation:
The computation of gain or loss is shown below:-
Given that
Worth of an inventory = $60,000
Basic inventory = $42,000
Now if we divide this two by each other so the percentage would be
= $60,000 ÷ $42,000 i.e to be greater than the 120% and it is said that the one third would be considered of $18,000
The $18,000 come from
= $42,000 - $24,000
= $18,000
Now its one third is $6,000 and the same is to be treated as ordinary gain
Suppose that borrowing is restricted so that the zero-beta version of the CAPM holds. The expected return on the market portfolio is 17%, and on the zero-beta portfolio it is 8%. What is the expected return on a portfolio with a beta of .6?
Answer:
10.4%
Explanation:
The computation of expected return on a portfolio is shown below:-
Expected return = Risk Free return + 5%Beta ( Market Return - Risk Free return)
= 5% + 0.60 × (17% - 8%)
= 5% + 5.4%
= 10.4%
Therefore for computing the expected return on a portfolio with a beta of .6 we simply applied the above formula.
The market return less risk free return is known as market risk premium

Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Sales (11,500 units at $225 each) $ 2,587,500 Variable costs (11,500 units at $180 each) 2,070,000 Contribution margin $ 517,500 Fixed costs 360,000 Pretax income $ 157,500 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units and. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs.
Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:
Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)
Break-even point in units = 360,000/(225- 180) = 8000 units
Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) is computed as follows:
Break-even point (sales) = Total general fixed cost/C/S ratio.
C/s ratio = (Selling price - variable cost)/Selling price × 100
= (225 - 180)/225 × 100 = 20%
Break-even point (sales) = 360,000/20% = $1,800,000
Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000

Cpk =
Answer:
A) 1.111
B) 0.889
Explanation:
given data :
outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch
sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches
standard deviation = 0.003 inches
A) Calculating the Cp of the process
mean = 1.002
Standard deviation = 0.003
LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01
[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111
B) calculate Cpk
mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003
[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]
= min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]
= min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]
hence Cpk = 0.889
The following account balances were extracted from the accounting records of Thomas Corporation at the end of the year:
Accounts Receivable $1,100,000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Credit) $37,000
Uncollectible-Account Expense $63,000
What is the net realizable value of the accounts receivable?
A. $1,137,000
B. $1,063,000
C. $1,100,000
D. $1,163,000
Answer: $1,063,000
Explanation:
Net realizable value is the value of an asset that a company will get when the asset is sold minus the cost that came with the asset sales.
The net realizable value of the accounts receivable will be the accounts receivable of $1,100,000 minus the allowance for uncollectible accounts which was given as $37,000.
= $1,100,000 - $37,000
= $1,063,000

sales-volume variance for materials = 2700 Favorable
Holding other things constant, a decrease in the inflation rate in the US compared to the Canadian economy will cause the demand for the Canadian dollar to
Answer: To decrease, and the supply for Canadian dollar to increase.
Explanation: Inflation is an increase in the general price levels within an economy over a given period of time, when their is inflation in a given economy it causes the depreciation of the value of the currency of that economy and hence reduced demands for that currency and an increase in the supply for that currency which in this case is the Canadian dollar.
If a company produces the same number of units per period over an asset's useful life, each period's depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be the same as that recorded using the units-of-production method.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
The answer is true.
Explanation:
Straight-line method of depreciation spreads the depreciation cost evenly over the life of the asset. The amount of depreciation is the same year in year out. It can be calculated as follows:
(Cost of the asset - residual value) ÷ number of useful life of the asset.
While units-of-production method is almost the same as the straight-line method. It is calculated as:
(Cost of the asset - residual value) ÷ expected number of units of production throughout the useful life of the asset.
Since the number of units of production will be same throughout the life span of the asset, the depreciation expense will also be the same

produces sports socks. The company has fixed expenses of $ 75 comma 000$75,000 and variable expenses of $ 0.75$0.75 per package. Each package sells for $ 1.50$1.50. Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. Compute the contribution margin per package and the contribution margin ratio. Begin by identifying the formula to compute the contribution margin per package. Then compute the contribution margin per package. (Enter the amount to the nearest cent.) – = Contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $1.5
Unitary variable cost= $0.75
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 1.5 - 0.75
Contribution margin= $0.75
Now, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= 0.75/1.5
contribution margin ratio= 0.5

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing firm, determines that in order to sell x suits, the price per suit must be pequals180 minus 0.5 x. It also determines that the total cost of producing x suits is given by Upper C (x )equals5000 plus 0.75 x squared. a) Find the total revenue, Upper R (x ). b) Find the total profit, Upper P (x ). c) How many suits must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit? d) What is the maximum profit? e) What price per suit must be charged in order to maximize profit?
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) R(x) = x(150 - 0.75x) => 150x - 0.75x²
(b) P(x) = R(x) - C(x) => 150x - 0.75x² - (2000 + 0.75x²)
so, P(x) = 150x - 2000 - 1.5x²
(c) Now, P '(x) = 150 - 3x = 0....at maximum
i.e. when x = 50 suits
(d) P(50) = 150(50) - 2000 - 1.5(50)²
=> 7500 - 2000 - 3750
i.e. £1750
(e) price --> 150 - 0.75(50) => 150 - 37.5
Hence, price per suit is £112.50 in order to maximise profits.
se the following information for Jett Co. to answer the following question: 2015 2014 Sales 1,200 1,000 COGS 850 700 Operating Expenses 200 200 Income Taxes 30 35 Jett Co.'s gross profit, operating profit and net profit margins for 2015 are: A. 50.0%, 32.5%, 22.5% respectively. B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%, respectively. C. 27.0%, 11.0%, 10.5%, respectively. D. 21.5%, 17.5%, 12.0%, respectively.
Answer:
B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold / Sales
Gross Profit = $1,200 - $850 / $1,200
Gross Profit = $350 / $1,200
Gross Profit = 0.2917
Gross Profit = 29.17%
Operating profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating Expenses / Sales
Operating profit = $1,200 - $850 - $200 / $1,200
Operating profit = $150 / $1,200
Operating profit = 0.125
Operating profit = 12.5%
Net profit margin = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Income Taxes / Sales
Net profit margin= $1,200 - $850 - $200 - $30 / $1,200
Net profit margin $120 / $1,200
Net profit margin= 0.1
Net profit margin= 10%
