Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2017, for $197,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2018, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $600,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida. On that date, the fair value of Seida's common stock was $2,000,000 in total. Seida's January 1, 2018 book value equaled $1,850,000, although land was undervalued by $120,000. Any additional excess fair value over Seida's book value was attributable to a trademark with an 8-year remaining life. During 2018, Seida reported income of $300,000 and declared and paid dividends of $110,000. Prepare the 2018 journal entries for Milani related to its investment in Seida.

Moss County Bank agrees to lend the Cullumber Company $695000 on January 1. Cullumber Company signs a $695000, 6%, 9-month note. What entry will Cullumber Company make to pay off the note and interest at maturity assuming that interest has been accrued to September 30

Answers

Answer:

The interest on notes is calculated as follows

Interest payable = Face value of bonds * Interest rate * (Time of maturity / 12 months)

= $695,000 * 6% * 9/12

=$31,275

Cullumber company will pay the face value of the notes as the notes are payable at par, along with interest rate of 6% for the period of 9 months. This will result in outflow of cash, thereby crediting cash account. The liability on account of notes payable and interest payable will be settles, thereby debiting the payable account

Assume that the parent company acquires its subsidiary by exchanging 55,000 shares of its Common Stock, with a market value on the acquisition date of $40 per share, for all of the outstanding voting shares of the investee. In its analysis of the investee company, the parent values all of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities at an amount equaling their book values except for a building that it feels is undervalued by $500,000, an unrecorded License Agreement that the parent values at $250,000, and an unrecorded Customer List owned by the subsidiary that the parent values at $100,000.
Any further discrepancy between the purchase price and the book value of the subsidiary's Stockholders' Equity is attributed to expected synergies to be realized by the consolidated company as a result of the acquisition.

Calculate the earnings of workers A, B and C under the Straight Piece

Rate System and Merrick’s Differential Piece Rate System from the

following particulars.

Normal rate per hour: Rs. 5.40

Standard time per unit: 1 minute

Output per day is as follows.

Worker A – 390 units

Worker B – 450 units

Worker C – 600 units.

Working hours per day are 8

Answer:

Earnings of Workers:

Worker  Straight Piece   Merrick's Differential Piece

A                $35.10                   $28.08

B                $40.50                  $32.40

C               $54.00                  $64.80

Explanation:

a) Data:

Normal rate per hour: Rs. 5.40

Standard time per unit: 1 minute

Output per day is as follows.

Worker A – 390 units  

Worker B – 450 units

Worker C – 600 units

Working hours per day are 8

b) Calculations:

i) Standard units per day = 8 x 60 minutes = 480 units

ii) Earnings per day is as follows.

Worker A – 390 units :

Straight piece Wages = 390 / 60 x $5.40 = $35.10

Merrick's Earnings = 390/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $28.08

Worker B – 450 units :

Straight piece Wages = 450 / 60 x $5.40 = $40.50

Merrick's Earnings = 450/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $32.40

Worker C – 600 units:

Straight piece Earnings = 600 / 60 x $5.40 = $54

Merrick's Earnings = 600/60 x $5.40 x 1.2 = $64.80

c) The factor for multiplying the rate is obtained by dividing the units produced by the number of minutes in an hour, in order to convert output to a rate based on the hour.

d) The standard output per day helps Merrick in calculating the weights to be assigned to each worker and differentiate the slow worker from the superior worker (hence, the name: Merrick's Differential Piece Rate).  The slow workers (those who produce below the standard output) are paid a rate lower than the standard rate by adding a weight of 0.8  as a punishment while the superior worker is assigned a weight of 1.20 as a reward for good performance.  Meanwhile, a standard performer who produced 480 units will be paid the normal rate or weighed as 1.0.  

What is unique about Costco’s channel management process? What components can other retailers borrow or implement?

Answers

Answer:

Its quick purchase and distribution of products and impeccable marketing.

Other retailers could implement or borrow are their branding strategies and eliminate costly and expensive management steps.

Explanation:

One of the main elements of Costo's success is its efficient and extremely competitive marketing strategy. In addition to this, product management strategies were also extremely effective in this company. This is because Costo manages the purchase and distribution of its products very quickly, preventing their shortages. This is done through purchases made in direct contact with suppliers, who send the products directly to the company's warehouses, which causes numerous steps in the supply process (made by producers and intermediaries) to be eliminated, thus ensuring speed and less economic expense.

Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08

Answers

Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%

( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant  0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)

Explanation:

Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )

Rf =Risk free return = 3.6

Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%

A) Stock Beta , Expected Return=   0.89,  7.83%

Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced

B) Stock Beta , Expected Return=   1.52 12.59%

Expected return = 3.6 +  1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced

B) Stock Beta , Expected Return=   1.25 11.27%

Expected return = 3.6 +  1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced

c) Stock Beta , Expected Return=   1.27 14.50%

Expected return = 3.6 +  1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced

d) Stock Beta , Expected Return=    0.80 10.08%

Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) =  10.08%---- Correctly priced

If the government guarantees sugar farmers a price of $1 per pound when the market equilibrium price is actually $0.50 per pound, which of the following will occur?

a) A shortage of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.

b) A shortage of sugar will occur, decreasing inefficiency.

c) A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.

d) A surplus of sugar will occur,decreasing inefficiency.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

the price per pound of sugar is above equilibrium price, as a result the supply of sugar would increase while the demand for sugar would decrease. this would lead to a surplus. because at $1, supply would exceed demand, there would be an increase in inefficiency

Answer:

A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.

Explanation:

When the price of sugar is set above the market equilibrium price, the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded by consumers. Therefore, a surplus of sugar occurs that increases the level of inefficiency.

You would expect a bond of the U.S. government to pay higher interestrate as compared to a bond of an Eastern European government.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Bond interest is determined in part by the riskiness of the Issuer of the bond. The United States is one of the most trust-worthy countries in the world and this is reflected by the US T-bills being considered a risk-free asset the world over.

The less risky an asset is, the less interest it has to pay as it does not have to compensate its investors for more added risk. A United States Bond is definitely safer than an Eastern European Government bond who are not as developed as the Western Europeans speaking in an unbiased manner. Therefore the US Bond will pay a lower interest relative to a bond of an Eastern European government.

Department 1 completed and transferred out 450 units and had ending work in process inventory of 60 units. The ending inventory is 20% complete for materials and 60% complete for labor and overhead. The equivalent units of production for labor and overhead is ______ units.

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent units= 486 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units completed= 450

Ending work in process= 60 units

The ending inventory is 20% complete for materials and 60% complete for labor and overhead.

To calculate the equivalent units of production, we need to use the following formula:

Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP

Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed

=Number of equivalent units

Units started and completed = 450 - 0= 450

Ending work in process completed= 60*0.6= 36

= 486 units

Explanation:

The risk-free interest rate is 3.7% per year, the market risk premium is 5.6% per year, and a stock’s beta is 0.84. What is the stock’s annual expected return? Question 16 options: A) 9.8% B) 8.4% C) 9.1% D) 9.5% E) 8.7%

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. 8.4%

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use Capital Asset Pricing Model(CAPM)

Stock’s annual expected return=

Rf + beta(Rm-Rf)

Rf is the risk free rate

Risk premium is (Rm-Rf) - the difference between market interest rate and the risk free rate.

Rf is 3.7%

Risk premium is 5.6%

Beta is 0.84

3.7% + 0.84(5.6%)

3.7% + 4.7%

= 8.4%

Suppose that two things happen simultaneously in the market for fish. First, a new technology allows fishing boats to catch more fish while using the same number of crew-members. At the same time a new study shows that eating fish at least three times a week helps prevent heart attacks. How will the market for fish respond?
A. Equilibrium quantity will increase but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information.
B. Equilibrium price and quantity will both increase.
C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information.
D. Equilibrium price will decrease but equilibrium quantity will increase.
E. Equilibrium price will increase but the effect on the equilibrium quantity is unknown without more information.

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Equilibrium quantity will increase but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option A is correct because the change in technology allows the person to catch more fish with the same crew. Thus, this will increase the supply, and the supply curve will shift rightwards. Moreover, the new study shows that a reduction in heart attack will cause an increase in the demand for fish. So the demand curve will shift rightwards. Here, we can see the increase in equilibrium quantity but we can not explain the effect on price due to lack of information. Therefore, option A will be right.

Choose an example of a type of new company you could start, and then use this company idea to answer the questions below. You might choose to open a hair salon, a babysitting service, a record store, or many other things. This can be the same type of company you chose in assignment 8, or it can be different.
a. Describe the type of company you chose.
b. If you needed to get funding for your company, would you prefer to get debt funding or equity funding? Explain why you would prefer this type.

Answers

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. The company I chose to operate would be Celebrity Hair Salon. The Celebrity Hair Salon is a standard salon with comfortable furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment intended to tend to the needs of celebrities. Clients are expected to make appointments for their services which the salon strictly adheres to.

2. I would prefer to fund this new business through debt financing. Debt funding entails borrowing funds from Creditors with the intention of paying back at a later time with the attached interest. Equity funding entails giving an investor a certain percentage of the company's returns thus making him a co-owner of the company. This affords him the right to make decisions for the business. Detaching the investor from this business is difficult because it requires buying him out.

I would prefer debt financing because I wish to retain sole ownership of the business. I can also go through some government agencies to obtain funds at lower interest rates. Moreso, there is a fixed debt repayment plan that I can set a target to meet until the debt is paid. Finally, I can regain my freedom after the payment is completed, thus regaining my business and not entitling me to anyone.

A Plus Appliances sells dishwashers with a four-year warranty. In 2019, sales revenue for dishwashers is $94,000. The company estimates warranty expense at 4.5% of revenues. What is the total estimated warranty payable of A Plus Appliances as of December 31,2019? A Plus Appliances began operating in 2019. (Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)

Answer:

$4230

Explanation:

Given that, the sales revenue to the dishwashers is equal to $94,000

Also the company estimated  warranty expense cost is equal to 4.5% of revenues,

Thus, the estimated warranty payable can be determined by the following formula:

Annual sales revenue for the dishwashers * warranty expense revenues

= $94,000 * 4.5% = $94,000 * 0.045

= $4230

Hence, the total estimated warranty payable of A Plus Appliances as of December​ 31, 2019 = $4230

c. Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents a(n) ______ decrease in price.

Answers

Answer: 18.18% decease

Explanation:

The Midpoint formula uses the average Price (as denominator) to calculate the change in price instead of the original price by the following formula;

% Decrease in price = Change in price / Average price

= (50 - 60) / ((60 + 50)/2)

= -10 / (55)

= -0.1818

= -18.18%

Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents an 18.18% decrease in price.

Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents a 18.18% decrease in price.

The Midpoint Formula

It calculates the percentage change in price of a good by dividing change in price to the average price of the good.

Following is the formula

% Decrease in price = Change in price / Average price

Solution:

old price = 60, new price = 50, Change in price = -10

⇒  (50 - 60) / ((60 + 50)/2)

⇒ -10 / (55)

⇒ -0.1818

⇒ -18.18%

Hence, by using the midpoint formula, we can say that bathing suit represents a -18.18% decrease in price.

Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC

Answers

Answer:

2.11%

Explanation:

From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the  difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).

From the diagram; we will see that the

YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%

YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%

Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%

the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%

You could give a brief example if you feel that is necessary for your explanation to the president.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Respected Sir,

Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions

As per your requirement please find the explanation below:

Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.

Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.

Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.

The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

You have just purchased a new warehouse. To finance the purchase, you’ve arranged for a 35-year mortgage loan for 85 percent of the $3,350,000 purchase price. The monthly payment on this loan will be $16,800. What is the APR on this loan? What is the EAR on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

APR = 2.43%

EAR = 2.46%

Explanation:

(a) What is the APR on this loan?

Annual percentage rate (APR) is the yearly interest rate that a borrower pays or an investor earns. It is expressed in percentage term without taking compounding into consideration.

This can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as follows:

APR = {[(Fees + Interest amount) / Principal / n] * 365} * 100 ……………… (1)

Where;

APR = ?

Fees = 0

Interest amount = Interest rate * Purchase price = 85% * $3,350,000 = $2,847,500

Principal = Purchase price = $3,350,000

n = Number of days in the mortgage term = 365 days * 35 years = 12,775 days

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

APR = {[(0 + 2,847,500) / 3,350,000 / 12,775] * 365} * 100

APR = 2.43%

(b) What is the EAR on this loan?

The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to the interest rate earned by an investor in a year after the compounding has been adjusted for over a specified period.

This can be calculated using the Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula as follows:

EAR = (1 + i/n)^n – 1 ..................... (2)

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

i = Stated annual interest rate = APR = 2.43%, or 0.0243

n = Number of compounding periods = 12

EAR = (1 + 0.0243/12)^12 – 1

EAR =  0.0246, or 2.46%

According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket

Answers

Answer:

variable cost per ticket = $129.60

Explanation:

some information is missing and I looked it up:

30 performances per month

1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate

number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets

total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500

variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500

variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60

A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be

Answers

Answer:

11.28%

Explanation:

A stock has a beta of 1.15

The expected return on the market is 10.3%

The risk-free rate is 3.8%

Therefore, the expected return on the stock can be calculated as follows

Expected return= Risk-free rate+beta(expected return on the market-risk-free rate)

= 3.8%+1.15(10.3%-3.8%)

= 3.8%+(1.15×6.5)

= 3.8%+7.475

= 11.28%

Hence the expected return on the stock is 11.28%

You usually go to the theater to see a lot of movies. Now you are considering buying a DVD player and renting movies instead. You currently pay $9 per movie when you go to the theater but if you buy the DVD player you will have to pay only $5 per movie rental. You estimate that the DVD player will cost $400 (at t = 0) and will last 3 years. Except for cost, you are indifferent to seeing movies at home or in the theater. Assume that the cost of theater tickets and rental payments occur at the end of each month and that you use the DVD player only to watch movies. Assume that you watch the same number of movies every month. Your discount rate is 1% per month. Assume that there is no inflation. How many movies per month must you watch for the DVD player purchase to be a smart purchase?

Answers

Answer:

You must watch minimum of 200 movies per month for the DVD player purchase to be a smart purchase.

Explanation:

Let assume that you watch 100 movies in a month:

For going to theater:

$9 × 100 = $900

For renting movies and using the DVD Player:

Renting = $5 × 100 = $500

DVD Player cost: $400

Total spent in a month = $500 + $400 = $900

Therefore, in a month, the amount spent going to theater = the amount spent using DVD Player and renting the Film.

Let assume you watch 200 movies in a month:

For going to theater:

$9 × 200 = $1800

For renting movies and using the DVD Player:

Renting = $5 × 200 = $1000

DVD Player cost: $400

Total spent in a month = $1000 + $400 = $1400

Therefore, amount spent using DVD Player and renting movies is cheaper than going to theater to watch movies in a month.

It is safe to conclude that for the DVD Player to be a smart purchase by you, you must watch minimum of 200 movies in a month.

g Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. At this​ profit-maximizing output, the monopolist will charge a price​ ________ marginal revenue and a perfect competitor will charge a price​ ________ marginal revenue.

Answers

Answer: Higher than; Equal to

Explanation:

Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

The Marginal Revenue curves are different for either of them though and this impacts what price they sell at. This is because the price the good will be sold at depends on where the maximising output touches the demand curve.

The Monopolist has a Marginal Revenue curve that is lower than the Demand Curve. Therefore the point where Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost intersect, will not be on the demand curve but lower than it. The price charged will therefore be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand Curve.

The Perfectly Competitive Firm however is in a market where Price is equal to the Demand curve and equal to the Marginal Revenue curve as well. The point where the Marginal Cost intersects with Marginal Revenue will also be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand curve so the price will be the same as the Marginal Revenue.

Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,040

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $120

Variable cost per unit $90

Fixed expense per month $68,760

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,040

Suppose a bank has $500 million in deposits and $35 million in required reserves, and it is holding no excess reserves. What is the required reserve ratio

Answers

Answer:

The required reserve ratio is $17500 million.

Explanation:

The given deposit with the banks = $500 million

Required reserves = $35 million

We already have the deposits with the bank and the required reserves.  Now we have to calculate the required reserve ratio and it can be calculated by multiplying the bank deposit with required reserves.

Required reserve ratio = Bank deposits × Required reserve

= 500  × 35

= $17500 million
