Answer:
26.67 times
Explanation:
The financial statements of the Otter company reports a net sales of $800,000
The account receivables at the beginning of the year is $40,000
The account receivables at the end of the year is $20,000
Therefore, the account receivable turnover for the Otter company can be calculated as follows
= $800,000/($40,000+$20,000/2)
= $800,000/($60,000/2)
= $800,000/$30,000
= 26.67 times
Hence the account receivable turnover for the Otter company is 26.67 times

MMM distributes $40,000 cash and accrual-basis accounts receivable with a basis and fair market value of $20,000. Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a basis in the cash of $40,000 and a basis in the receivables of $10,000.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a:
Basis in the cash of $40,000 which is TRUE because we were told that MMM distributes $40,000 cash to Martha
Basis in the receivables of $10,000 which is TRUE because we were told that she has an outside basis of $50,000 with distributed cash of $40,000 and accrual-basis accounts receivable of $20,000. Therefore the basis in the receivable of $10,000 is calculated as:
Cash $40,000 + Account receivable $20,000=$60,000
Hence,
$60,000- Outside basis $50,000
=$10,000 Basis in the receivable

A municipal bond dealer buys 100M of 30 year non-callable 9% General Obligation bonds at par less 1 point. After holding the bonds in inventory for a week, the dealer reoffers the bonds on an 8.90 basis. The dealer's approximate profit or loss per bond on this transaction is:
Answer:
gain = $26.24 per bond
Explanation:
trading bonds 100M, means $100,000 in bonds
the trader purchased the bonds at a discount, at 100 - 1.5 = 98.5%
the coupon rate is 9%, if the bonds are sold at 8.9%, then they will be sold at a premium.
to try to determine an approximate selling price = 9%/8.9% = 1.01123
profit per bond = sales price - purchase price = ($1,000 x 1.01123) - ($1,000 x 0.985) = $1,011.24 - $985 = $26.24 per bond
total profit = $26.24 x 100 = $2,624

A workstation must produce 200 units an hour. It takes 45 minutes to receive the necessary material for production from the previous workstation. Output is moved between workstations in containers holding 30 units. If the process uses a safety factor of 20%, then the number of kanbans that should be circulating between this workstation and the previous workstation is: Group of answer choices
Answer:
The number of Kanbans circulating between this workstation and the previous workstation is 6 Containers
Explanation:
Given demand = 200 unit / hour
45 minutes between one workstation to another
Container size = 30
Safety factor = 20% = 0.2
Demand during lead time of 45 minutes = 45minute / 60minute * 200 units = 150 units
Number of Kanbans = Demand during lead time ( 1 + Safety factor) / Container size
= 150 (1 + 0.20) / 30
= 150 (1.20) / 30
= 180 / 30
= 6 Containers

Answer:
X = 96 and Y = 32
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
X amount = 4%
Y amount = 8%
Now based on this the equation is
r = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x+y)
Now put 5% at the rate place
The x and y is
5 = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x + y)
5x + 5y = 4x + 8y
x = 3y
Now looking the options as we can see that if X = 96 so Y would be 32
Therefore X = 96 and Y = 32

The concentration ratio provides a measure of the extent to which an industry Question 63 options: produces a useful product. is dominated by a small number of firms. is earning economic profits. is earning accounting profits.
Answer:
"The concentration ratio provides a measure of the extent to which an industry is dominated by a small number of firms.
Explanation:
Let us assume that there are 20 firms in the paper milling industry with a total sales of $40 billion per annum. From these 20 firms, 4 firms have annual sales totalling $25 billion. With these assumptions made, we can calculate the concentration ratio as the "Annual sales of the 4 firms divided by the Industry's annual sales, and then multiplied by 100." Our calculation produces a concentration ratio of 62.5%. This concentration ratio shows the dominance of these four firms in the paper milling industry. The remaining 16 firms control 37.5% (100% - 62.5%) of the annual sales in the industry. This examples explains what a concentration ratio is and how the calculation can be carried out.

Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year. Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case
Answer:
the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%
Explanation:
From the information given :
Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year.
Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year.
U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%.
The opportunity cost of capital can be determined by using the expression:
[tex]A = P ( \dfrac{1+r}{100})^n[/tex]
where;
A = amount = $5508
P = Principal = $5100
r = opportunity cost of capital = ???
n = number of years = 1 year
[tex]5508= 5100 ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{5508}{5100}= ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = \dfrac{100 + r}{100}[/tex]
1.08 × 100 = 100 + r
108 = 100 + r
r = 108 - 100
r = 8%
Therefore; the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%

Jonathan is a blind widower whose home is valued at $110,000. He is homesteaded and under 65. His School taxes are 10.23 mils, his county taxes 6.789 mils, and his city taxes are 8.78 mils. What are his annual taxes?
Answer:
Jonathan's taxes depend on which state he lives in. Generally, widowers (male spouses who lost their wife while still married) are eligible for a homestead exemption, but the amount varies depending on the state.
For example, if Jonathan lives in Florida, the homestead exemption is up to the first $50,000, but in Texas it only includes the first $25,000.
Assuming that Jonathan lives in Florida, he can use his homestead exemption to reduce both his city and county taxes by $50,000:
city taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 8.78 = $526.80county taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 6.789 = $407.34the homestead exemption is reduced by half for school taxes:
school taxes = [($110,000 - $25,000) / $1,000] x 10.23 = $869.55total real estate taxes = $1,803.69

Q 6.19: Switzer, Inc. has 8 computers which have been part of the inventory for over two years. Each computer cost $600 and originally retailed for $900. At the statement date, each computer has a current replacement cost of $400. What value should Switzer, Inc., have for the computers at the end of the year
Answer:
The value of computer at the end of year is $3200
Explanation:
Total number of computers = 8
The original cost of computers = $600 per computer.
Original retailed = $900
The replacement cost = $400
Since the replacement cost of the market value is $ 400. Therefore, the value of all computers can be calculated by multiplying the $400 with the number of units.
The value of computer at the end of the year = $400 × 8 = $3200
