Answer:
The interest expenses to be reported for July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 is $116,230
Explanation:
We begin by calculating cash interest on the bond
Cash interest on the bond = $1,970,000 × 12% × 6/12
= $118,200
We will also find the premium on bonds payable
Premium on bonds payable = (102 -100)
= 2%
Therefore, premium on bonds payable = $1,970,000 × 2%
= $39,400
Finding semi annual premium amortized for both July 1, 2017 and December 31 is ;
= $39,400 / 10×2
= $39,400 / 20
= $1,970
We will now calculate the interest expenses for July 1, 2017 and December 31
Interest expenses = Cash interest - Premium amortized
= $118,200 - $1,970
= $116,230
A disadvantage of the centralized organization is that it: lengthens response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions. does not encourage responsibility among lower-level managers and rank-and-file employees. discourages lower-level managers and rank-and-file employees from exercising any initiative. diverts authority away from those closest to, and most knowledgeable about, the situation for actions. results in higher-level managers being unaware of actions taken by empowered personnel under their supervision.
Answer:

Mary just bought a 20-year bond with an 8% coupon rate (paid semi-annually) and $1000 par value for $1050. She is expecting an effective annual yield (EAY) of
Answer:
7.65%
Explanation:
Calculation for Mary effective annual yield (EAY)
The first step is to find the Semiannual coupon payment using this formula
Semiannual coupon payment=(Par value×Coupon rate percentage/2)
Let plug in the formula
Semiannual coupon payment =($1,000 × 8%) ÷2
Semiannual coupon payment= $80 ÷ 2 = $40
Second step is to find The total number of compounding period will be 20 years bond × The number of the compounding period er year which is 2
Hence,
The total number of compounding period will= 2 periods per year × 20 years = 40 periods.
Third step is to use the financial calculator which calculated the rate as 3.76% which means that:
Semiannual yield will be :3.76%
Therefore the Annual yield will be calculatedas = 3.76% ×2
Annual yield= 7.51%
The last step is to find the effective annual yield (EAY) using this formula
EAY = [1+(Quoted interest rate / m]m -1
Let plug in the formula
EAY = [1+(0.0751÷2)]2 -1
EAY= 7.65%.
Therefore the effective annual yield (EAY) will be 7.65%

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct materials costs $30,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $85,000 $(20,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $85,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 90,000 Number of setups
Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product

Answer: $20,000
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Investment in Subsidiary Co. = $95,000
Less: Net asset value = $71,400
Less: Balance sheet adjustment = $3,600
Goodwill = $95,000 - $71,400 - $3,600
= $20,000
Note that:
Net asset value = Asset with book value - Liability with book value
= $86,400 - $15,000
= $71,400
Balance sheet adjusted = Fair value of asset - book value of asset
= $90,000 - $86,400
= $3,600

Bob is a minor and buys a BMW, from ABC BMW when he is 16 years old. His parents do not cosign. He signs a financing arrangement where he will pay the car off over a 5- year period. On Bob's 18th birthday, he finds out that he could have disaffirmed the contract when he was a minor. He wonders whether it is too late to
Answer:
It is too late for him to dis-affirmed the contract.
Explanation:
Contract is the legal binding agreement document between two parties for them to obey any given conditions specified in the document. In the case of Bob, despite the fact that he was a minor, his signature on the BMW contract shows that it is binding between ABC Motors and him.
The motor company might not be aware of his legal age which shows he is a minor before entering the agreement with him. It is expected that, he should honor his contract to the latter.
The founder of alchemy products inc. discovered a way to turn gold into lead and patented this new technology. he then formed a corporation and invested $200,000 in setting up a production plant. he believes that he could sell his patent for $50 million.
a. What are the book value and market value of the firm?
b. If there are 1 million shares of stock in the new corporation, what would be the price per share and the book value per share?
Answer:
Explanation:
a. What are the book value and market value of the firm?
The book value is $200,000 which is the amount invested in setting up the production plant.
The market value of the firm is the addition of the book value and the patent. This will be:
= $50,000,000 + $200,000
= $50,200,000
b. If there are 1 million shares of stock in the new corporation, what would be the price per share and the book value per share?
The book value per share is the book value divided by the outstanding shares. This will be:
= $200,000/1,000,000
= $0.2 pee share
Price per share will be:
= $50,200,000/1,000,000
= $50.2

1. Calculate the growth rate between 2010 and 2014 for a company with the following revenue. Year Revenue 2010 735 2011 985 2012 1152 2013 1347 2014 1658 2015 1895
Answer: 230.75 (units/ year)
Explanation:
To compute the growth rate between 2010 and 2014, we use the following formula :
Growth rate = [(Revenue in 2014) -(Revenue in 2010)]÷ [Difference between 2010 and 2014]
From the table, Revenue in 2010 = 735
Revenue in 2014= 1658
Then, Growth rate = (1658 -735)÷ (2014-2010)
= 923÷ 4
= 230.75
Hence, the growth rate between 2010 and 2014 = 230.75 (units/ year)

A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. What amount of tax will result in unconsummated transaction
The question is incomplete:
A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. If the transaction is completed at $24,000, what level of sales tax will result in unconsummated transaction?
a. 0%
b. 25%
c. 20%
d. 40%
Answer:
d. 40%
Explanation:
The unconsummated transaction would occur when the price that the customer has to pay is higher than the value that he gave to the car. According to that, the answer would be the tax that would increase the final price to more than $30,000:
0%: $24,000
25%: 24,000*1.25= $30,000
20%: 24,000*1.20= $28,800
40%: 24,000*1.40= $33,600
The answer is that the amount of tax will result in an unconsummated transaction is 40%.

Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $260,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $19,300 of its sales and still owes $26,300 on $90,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $13,000 in salaries. Owners invested $10,000 in the business and $10,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $4,900 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$89,460
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Sales $260,000
Less: Cost of goods sold -$90,000
Gross margin $170,000
Less:
Salaries -$13,000
Insurance payment -$3,000 ($6,000 ÷ 2 years)
Interest -$4,900
profit before tax $149,100
Less: tax expense -$59,640
Net income $89,460
We simply deducted all expenses from the revenues so that the net income could arrive and the same is to be considered
The inflation rate over the past year was 1.8 percent. If an investment had a real return of 7.2 percent, what was the nominal return on the investment
Answer:
9.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the nominal return on the investment is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal interest rate = {(1 + real interest rate) × (1 + inflation rate)} - 1
= {(1 + 0.072) × (1 + 0.018)} - 1
= (1.072 × 1.018) - 1
= 9.13%
Hence, the nominal interest rate could be find out by applying the above formula i.e by considering the real interest rate and the inflation rate

The manager of a gas station noticed that when prices in the convenience store of the gas station decreased, gas sales increased. This could possibly be because the convenience store products are
Answer:
usually complements to the gas sales
Explanation:
Complementary products are those that their demand increases with the increased demand of other products.
Complementary products are usually used together. For example tea and sugar are consumed together, so an increase in tea consumption should result in an increase in sugar consumption.
In this scenario when the price of the convenience store products falls, their demand will increase. If there is an increase in gas sales too it is logical to conclude that the convenience store goods are complements of gas sales.
The result of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions was to:_______
a. Make it obligatory for companies to adopt a zero-tolerance approach toward grease payments.
b. Make grease payments mandatory in order to obtain exclusive preferential treatment in a host nation.
c. Consider payment of speed money to be moral, but illegal.
d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.
e. Make it mandatory for companies to adhere to the pollution control standards of their home country in all the nations in which they do business.
Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.
Explanation:
In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.
One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.

If the actual budget deficit is $180 billion, the economy is operating $400 billion above its potential, and the marginal tax rate is 13 percent, what are the structural deficit or surplus and the cyclical deficit or surplus
Answer:
Structural Deficit $232 billion
Cyclical Deficit $52 billion
Explanation:
Calculation for the Structual deficit and the cyclical deficit
STRUCTURAL DEFICIT
Using this formula
Structural Deficit =Actual budget +(Economy Operating amount×Marginal tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Structural Deficit =$180 billion +($400 billion ×0.13)
Structural Deficit =$180 billion +$52 billion
Structural Deficit =$232 billion
CYCLICAL DEFICT
Using this formula
Cyclical Deficit = Economy Operating amount *Marginal tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Cyclical Deficit=$400 billion ×0.13
Cyclical Deficit=$52 billion
Therefore Structural Deficit is $232 billion while Cyclical Deficit is $52 billion.
Madrid Company plans to issue 8% bonds on January 1, 2017, with a par value of $4,000,000. The company sells $3,600,000 of the bonds at par on January 1, 2017. The remaining $400,000 sells at par on July 1, 2017. The bonds pay interest semiannually as of June 30 and December 31.
1. Record the entry for the first interest payment on June 30, 2017.
2. Record the entry for the July 1 cash sale of bonds.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
1. Bond interest expense Dr ($3,600,000 × 8% ÷ 2) $144,000
To Cash $144,000
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
For recording this , we debited the bond interest expense as it increased the expense and credited the cash as it decreased the assets
2. Cash Dr $400,000
To Bond payable $400,000
(being the cash sale of the bond is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the bond payable as it also increased the liabilities
Avril Synchronistics will pay a dividend of $ 1.40 per share this year. It is expected that this dividend will grow by 7% each year in the future. What will be the current value of a single share of Avril's stock if the firm's equity cost of capital is 15%?
Answer:
$18.73 per stock
Explanation:
we need to calculate the company's terminal value and we can use the dividend growth model:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
Div₁ = $1.40 x (1 + 7%) = $1.498Re = 15%g = 7%P₀ = $1.498 / (15% - 7%) = $1.498 / 8% = $18.725 ≈ $18.73 per stock
A company is considering two options for the production of a part needed downstream
in the manufacturing process. Particulars are as follows:
Specialized automation: Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation: Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $5
1. What is the monthly break-even quantity for choosing between the two automation approaches?
a. 1,000 units
b. 2,000 units
c. 6,000 units
d. 12,000 units
2. For a monthly volume of 3,000 units, which automation approach should be chosen?
a. Specialized automation
b. General automation
c. Either approach is acceptable, because costs are the same for either option at 3,000 units.
d. Can’t be determined with information given.
Answer:
1= B
2= A
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Specialized automation:
Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation:
Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $5
First, we need to structure the costs formula:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2x
x= production
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5x
x= production
To calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas:
9,000 + 2x = 3,000 + 5x
6,000=3x
2,000= x
The indifference point is 2,000 units.
Finally, we need to calculate which process is more convenient for 3,000 units:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2*3,000= $15,000
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5*3,000= $18,000
