Answer:
Earnings per share=2.6
Price earning ratio= 15
Explanation:
Michelle Townsends owns a stock in National computers
The National computers reported an after-tax earnings of $7,436,000
They issued 2,860,000 common shares
The stock is currently selling at $39 per share
(A) The earnings per share of National computers can be calculated as follows
= After-tax earnings/number of stock
= 7,436,000/2,860,000
= 2.6
(B) The price earning ratio of national computers can be calculated as follows
Price warning ratio= stock price/earnings per share
= 39/2.6
= 15
Hence the earning per share and price earning ratio of national computers are 2.6 and 15 respectively

The formula used for activity rate is activity cost divided by the activity base cost.
Panamint Systems Corporation
Activity Cost Activity Base
Procurement $308,500 Number of purchase orders
Scheduling $244,500 Number of production orders
Materials handling $419,700 Number of moves
Product development $720,200 Number of engineering changes
Production $1,538,300 Machine hours
Disk drives Tape drives Wire drives
Number of Purchase Orders 4,080 2,300 11,300
Number of Production Orders 450 155 740
Number of Moves 1,320 520 4300
Number of Engineering Changes 11 4 23
Machine Hours 2,400 8,200 10,600
Number of Units 1600 4,400 2,500
As there are three kinds of drives the total activity base cost is obtained by adding the base cost of each drive.
Scheduling per production= Scheduling Cost/ Number of production orders
=$244,500 / 450+ 155 +740
= $244,500 / 1345= 181.78

What is the stock price per share for a stock that has a required return of 12%, an expected annual dividend of $3.15 per share in the first year, and a constant (sustainable) growth rate of dividends of 8%
Answer:
Price per share = $78.75
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Where Do- Dividend now, g- growth rate, k- required rate of return(cost of equity)
Note Do (1+g) represents the expected dividend in the first year
DATA:
Do (1+g) = 3.15
g= 8%
k= 12%
Price per share = 3.15/(0.12- 0.08) = $78.75
Price per share = $78.75

The CEO has given her secretary this material for a memo, but it is highly un-organized. Rewrite the memo so that the main point is first, that the memo flows in a much more logical order. Delete information not relevant to the main idea. Use strong subjects and verbs -- in other words, employ the principles we talked about in the lesson on writing.
To employees at a call center
I’m hoping you can send out a memo for me to all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we’ve had some problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them, at all sorts of time during their shift. While we are happy to be flexible, we do have a job to do and must have a certain amount of operators manning the phones at all times. Several times the phones have rung and rung with not enough people to answer them. Several supervisors have complained to me that their people have argued with them about combining their breaks and meal break to get an hour at one time. I feel like I need to put my foot down so that each supervisor doesn’t have to make their own decision. We need to remind folks of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day. Remind telephone operators that they should take the two 15 minute breaks allotted to them generally about halfway through a four-hour work period. If they want or need to take a break during another time, they should talk with their supervisor. But let folks know this should be under extraordinary circumstances. Stress that these should be extraordinary circumstances so we can count on enough people to be on the phones through the day. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, but they should be coordinated with their supervisor. Several times, we’ve lost folks we were counting on, only to find that they were on break. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources. We’d prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. I often eat at my desk but of course I’m not salaried employee. Oh, and we don’t want folks saving up their breaks and leaving work early. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. So tell them they just can’t skip the breaks, though why they’d want to I don’t know. By the way, it looks like we’ll be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.
Answer:
TO EMPLOYEES AT A CALL CENTER
It is my aim to send out a memo to you all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we have faced series of problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them without express permission which ended up clashing with their shift time for work. While we are happy to be flexible, we need to remind you of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day.
Most times,when a call came in, there will be no one to attend to it. Several supervisors have tabled the complaints of their team members, about combining their normal breaks and meal break in-order to get an hour at one time. Despite being a noble suggestion, the employees and their supervisor should remember that, the working condition was explicitly stated in the contract agreement they signed before taking this job.
In a situation were there is extraordinary condition, the call operators should liaised with their supervisor and discuss about the need to take extra break time. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, which should be under strict coordination by their supervisor. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources.
We would prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. By the way, it looks like we will be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.
Explanation:
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

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 June 10, 20X8, Playoff Corporation acquired 100 percent of Series Company's common stock.

Monica has a Roth IRA to which she contributed $15,000. The IRA has a current value of $37,500. She is 54 years old and takes a distribution of $25,000. How much of the distribution will be taxable to Monica? Group of answer choices
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Monica has a Roth IRA in which she contributed $15,000
The IRA has a current value of $37,500
Monica is 54 years old
She takes a distribution of $25,000
Therefore, the amount of distribtion that will be taxable can be calculated as follows
Amount of taxable distribution= $25,000-$15,000
= $10,000
Hence the amount of distribution that will be taxable to Monica is $10,000
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
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.
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

Zeus wanted to convey Mount Olympus to Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, and Athena in equal shares. On July 1, he saw Artemis, Aphrodite, and Athena and gave them their conveyance stating to Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, and Athena a 1/4 interest in Mount Olympus as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. On July 4, Zeus gave Ares his corresponding conveyance. Two months later, Ares died in battle, leaving two sons. The following month Athena transferred her share in Mount Olympus to Dionysos. How do Artemis, Aphrodite, Athena, and Ares hold title when Zeus conveyed them Mount Olympus?
Answer:
Joint Tenancy
Explanation:
Each tenant was given an equal share.
The conveyance deed was completed on a specific date passing all the land fairly to all tenants.
The Hera, Aphrodite, Athena and Ares also bear the title of Mutual Tenancy as Zeus transmitted Mount Olympus to them.
Therefore the correct option is Joint Tenancy and the same is to be considered
Santana Mortgage Company uses a process cost system to accumulate costs in its Application Department. When an application is completed, it is forwarded to the Loan Department for final processing. The following processing and cost data pertain to September.
1. Applications in process on September 1, 170
2. Applications started in September, 930
3. Completed applications during September, 660
4. Applications still in process at September 30 were 100% complete as to materials (forms) and 60% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning WIP:
Direct materials $1,310
Conversion costs 4,140
September costs:
Direct materials $5,114
Direct labor 12,820
Overhead 7,581
Materials are the forms used in the application process, and these costs are incurred at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.
Required:
a. Determine the equivalent units of service (production) for materials and conversion costs.
b. Compute the unit costs and prepare a cost reconciliation schedule.
Answer: a) The equivalent units for material = 1,100
The equivalent units for conversion cost = 924.
b) The unit cost for material and conversion cost is $5.84 and $26.56 respectively.
c) cost reconciliation schedule is in the explanation column
Explanation:
first , we calculate units in process
Units in Process = Units of applications Opened + units of application started - units of application completed
= 170 + 930 - 660 = 440 units
Equivalent units of production for materials =application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 100%)=660+440= 1,100
Equivalent units of production for conversion = application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 60%)=660+264=924
Computing the unit costs
Units of cost as per material
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Wor in process unit = 440units
Material cost during ,month -=$5,114
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$1,310
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 1,100
Unit cost for material = Material cost during the month +Begining work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $5,114 + $1,310=$6,424/ 1100= $5.84
Units of cost as per conversion
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Work in progess unit = 440units
conversion cost during ,month -= direct labour + overhead = $12,820 + $7,581= $20, 401
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$4,140
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 924
Unit cost = Material cost during the month +Beginning work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $20,401 + 4,140=$24,541 / 924= $26.56

Villalpando Winery wants to raise $20 million from the sale of preferred stock. If the winery wants to sell one million shares of preferred stock, what annual dividend will it have to promise if investors demand a return of a. 12%? b. 15%? c. 8%? d. 7%? e. 6%? f. 3%? a. What annual dividend will it have to promise if investors demand a return of 12%?
Answer:
$2.4/share
Explanation:
In order to calculate annual dividend we have to find the price per share first
Price per share = Total Capital raised/Number of shares
Price per share = $20,000,000/1,000,000
Price per share = $20
The annual dividend can be calculated by the following formula
Formula: Expected Return = Annual dividend/ price per share
NOTE: To find Annual dividend we need to adjust the formula accordingly
Annual dividend = Expected Return x Price per share
If Expected return is 12%
Annual dividend = 12% x $20 = $2.4/share
If Expected return is 15%
Annual dividend = 15% x $20 = $3/share
If Expected return is 8%
Annual dividend = 8% x $20 = 1.6/share
If Expected return is 7%
Annual dividend = 7% x $20 = $1.4/share
If Expected return is 6%
Annual dividend = 6% x $20 = $1.2/share
If Expected return is 3%
Annual dividend = 3% x $20 = $0.6/share
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%

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.

The liquidity trap _____. rev: 06_20_2018 Multiple Choice makes expansionary monetary policy less effective makes contractionary monetary policy less effective makes expansionary fiscal policy less effective makes contractionary fiscal policy less effective
Answer:
Makes expansionary monetary policy less effective
Explanation:
A liquidity trap occurs when interest rates are already so low, that most of the public prefer to hold money as cash, instead of investing in bonds and other interest-bearing securities.
In a situation like this, expansionary monetary policy becomes less effective, because the central bank cannot boost the economy anymore by lowering interest rates (interest rates are lowered by increasing the money supply) because most of the public prefers to hold money as cash, and the interest rate is very low already.

The policy that will change aggregate demand (AD) the most is a cut in taxes.
Explanation:
Aggregate demand is fueled mostly by household consumption. A cut in taxes increases the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and reduces the marginal propensity to save (MPS), but at the same time fuels the marginal propensity to invest by firms trying to meet the new aggregate demand, thereby increasing the aggregate supply (AS) which is the real GDP output.
