Answer: All of the options are correct.
Explanation:
The Allowance for Doubtful Account is a contra account because it reduces the value of the Accounts Receivable Account and does so in order to account for the possibility that some customers will not pay the amounts they owe.
It is credited when Bad debts are estimated and recorded; that way this reduction in Accounts receivable does not have to go out of the Accounts Receivable account directly.This will ensure that the Accounts Receivable Account is not volatile as it attempts to keep up with all the bad debts incurred.

ou have a $4 million portfolio consisting of a $100,000 investment in each of 20 different stocks. The portfolio has a beta of 1.1. You are considering selling $100,000 worth of one stock with a beta of 0.9 and using the proceeds to purchase another stock with a beta of 1.4. What will the portfolio’s new beta be after these transactions? Show your work
Answer: 1.108
Explanation:
You have $4 million invested.
You would like to divest $100,000 from a stock with beta 0.9 to the tune of $100,000.
The entire portfolio has a beta of 1.1.
This beta is an average of all the betas in the portfolio.
Proportion of Portfolio to be divested = [tex]\frac{100,000}{4,000,000}[/tex]
= 0.025
Beta of stock to be divested expressed as;
= 0.025 * 1.1
= 0.0275
This will be reinvested in a stock with beta 1.4
Beta of stock to be bought expressed as;
= 0.025 * 1.4
= 0.035
New beta
= 1.1 - 0.0275 + 0.035
= 1.108
A company had a beginning balance in retained earnings of $400,000. It had net income of $50,000 and declared and paid cash dividends of $55,000 in the current period. The ending balance in retained earnings equals:
Answer:
$395,000
Explanation:
A company has a beginning balance of $400,000
The company has a net income of $50,000
The company also declared and paid a cash dividend of $55,000
Therefore, the ending balance in the retained earnings can be calculated as follows
Beginning balance+ net income -Dividend paid
= $400,000+$50,000-$55,000
= $395,000
Hence the ending balance in the retained earnings is $395,000

The 10.9 percent preferred stock of Rock Bottom Floors is selling for $91 a share. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock if the tax rate is 44 percent and the par value per share is $100
Answer: 11.978%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the 10.9 percent preferred stock of Rock Bottom Floors is selling for $91 a share. We are further informed that the tax rate is 44 percent and the par value per share is $100.
The firm's cost of preferred stock will be 10.9% multiplied by the par value per share and then divided by the share price of $91. This will be:
= (10.9% × 100)/91
= (0.109 × 100)/91
= 10.9/91
= 0.11978
= 11.978%
The market supply curve is: perfectly inelastic in the long run, but not the short run. more elastic in the long run than in the short run. less elastic in the long run than in the short run. perfectly elastic in the short run, but not the long run.
Answer:
The answer is B. more elastic in the long run than in the short run
Explanation:
Supply is usually more elastic in the long run than in the short run because it is a known fact factors of production(labor, capital etc.) can be utilised to increase supply in the long run whereas in the short run only labor can be increased.
And also, because because there is time for firms to enter or leave the industry.

Below are amounts (in millions) from three companies' annual reports.
Beginning Ending Accounts
Accounts Receivable Receivable Net Sales
WalCo $1,735 $2,682 $314,427
TarMart 5,766 6,294 59,878
CostGet 549 585 60,963
1. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet.
2. Which company appears most efficient in collecting cash from sales?
Answer:
1. Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening AR+Closing AR)/2
WalCo = 1,735 + 2,682 / 2 = 2208.5 = 2209
TarMart= 5,766 + 6,294 / 2 = 6030
CostGet= 549 + 585 / 2 = 567
Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivables
WalCo= 314,427 / 2209 = 142.339 = 142.34
TarMart= 59,878 / 6030 = 9.903 = 9.90
CostGet= 60,963 / 567= 107.518 = 107.52
Average Collection Period = 365 / Receivable Turnover Ratio
WalCo= 365 / 142.34 = 2.56
CostGet= 365 / 9.90= 36.87
TarMart= 365 / 107.52= 3.39
2. Walco Company is the best Since it collects its AR in 2.56 days
A customer subscribes to a $10,000 limited partnership interest. The commission is $1,000. The up-front costs are $500 for legal expenditures, and $500 for organization costs. What is the customer's beginning tax basis
Answer: customer's beginning tax basis = $10,000
Explanation:
Customer's beginning tax basis are the initial cost of the partnership for commission legal and organizational fees and these are not deductible from the cost basis.
Given: A customer subscribes to a $10,000 limited partnership interest.
That means initial cost = $10,000
So, the customer's beginning tax basis = $10,000
Exhibit 22-8 Above shows how output changes as the only one variable input, labor, changes. At what unit of labor does diminishing marginal returns set in?
Answer: 3 units of labor
Explanation:
Diminishing Marginal Returns refers to a scenario where less marginal output is recorded as more inputs are invested.
From the exhibit, that point would be at 3 units of labor.
At 0 units of labor, 0 units of output was recorded.
At 1 unit of labor, 50 units of output was produced. This means 50 more units were produced.
At 2 units of labor, 110 units of output were produced. This means 60 more units were produced.
At 3 units of labor, 155 units of output were produced meaning that only 45 more units were produced as a result of the extra unit of labor.
This 45 units is less than the 60 units that adding the second unit of labor added to production meaning less marginal output was recorded as more inputs were invested starting here.
In a credit application, besides one's capacity to pay, creditors also consider which of the following?
Answer:
The lenders use a system of five Cs to know about the creditworthiness of potential borrowers. They weigh five characteristics of the borrower and various conditions of the loan, chances of default and risk of loss. The five Cs used by the lender are capacity, character, collateral, capacity and conditions.
The first C is character, it can be known by the previous loans of the applicant. Debt to income ratio is the second C. The third C is capital, it is the amount of money possessed by an applicant. Collateral is the fourth C, it is the asset that can be used to back the loan. The fifth C is conditions, the amount of the loan, its purpose and the prevailing interest rate in the market are known as conditions.Apr. 20 Purchased $40,250 of merchandise on credit from Locust, terms n/30.

Equivalent Units and Cost per Equivalent Unit-Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3]
Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:
Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process inventory, beginning 58,000 $ 56,200 19,700 $24,100
Units started in process 549,000
Units transferred out 570,000
Work in process inventory, ending 37,000
Cost added during the month $ 743,270 $ 243,460 $297,540
The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to materials and 65% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 60% complete with respect to materials and 40 % complete with respect to labor and overhead.
Required:
1. Compute the first department's equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.
2. Determine the first department's cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Overhead Labor Materials
1. Equivalent units of production
2. Cost per equivalent unit
Answer:
Material Labour Overhead
1) Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
2) Cost per equivalent unit (a/b) 1.32 0.45 0.55
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units
1) Equivalent units of production
Material Labour Overhead
Unit EU EU EU
Transferred out 570,000 570,000 570,000 570,000

Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
% of work done on WIP 60% 40% 40%
Note the equivalent unit for WIP is computed by multiplying the degree of work done (in %) by the units of WIP for each of the element of cost.
For example, the EU of material for WIP = 60% × 37,000 = 22,200
2. Cost per equivalent unit
$ $ $
Cost brought forward 56,200 19,700 24,100
Cost incurred and added 743,270 243,460 297,540

Total equivalent unit(b) 607,000 584,800 584,800
Cost per equivalent unit (a/b) 1.32 0.45 0.55
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost / total equivalent units
Suppose you believe that Florio Company's stock price is going to decline from its current level of $82.50 sometime during the next 5 months. For $5.10 you could buy a 5-month put option giving you the right to sell 1 share at a price of $85 per share. If you bought this option for $5.10 and Florio's stock price actually dropped to $60, what would your pre-tax net profit be
Answer:
$19.9
Explanation:
According to the given situation the computation of pre-tax net profit is shown below:-
Net pre-tax profit = Option exercised per share + Actual stock price at the end + Profit - Option premium
= $85 + $60 + $25 - $5.10
= $19.9
Therefore for computing the pre-tax net profit we simply applied the above formulas.

What must Carmen do if she wants no cash dividends at this time, worth of dividends, or $ worth of dividends? Show her wealth in paper and cash under each scenario. Assume a world of no taxes. First, if Carmen does not want an annual "dividend income" from his stock holdings, what must she do to get this level of income? (Select the best response.)
Answer:
Hello your question has some missing figures here is the complete question with the missing figures
Creating own dividend policy. Carmen owns shares of Wiseguy Entertainment. Wiseguy has just declared a $0.30 per share dividend on a stock selling at $24.3. What must Carmen do if she wants no cash dividends at this time, $82000 worth of dividends, or $107000 worth of dividends? Show her wealth in paper and cash under each scenario. Assume a world of no taxes. First, if Carmen does not want an annual "dividend income" from his stock holdings, what must she do to get this level of income? (Select the best response.)
Answer: Wealth in cash = $107000 , wealth in paper = $8160000
since her annual dividend received = ($102000) Carmen needs to purchase 4250 more shares of stock to get to this level of income
Explanation:
Given data
shares held = 340000
dividend = $0.3
stock price = $24.3
Stock price - dividend = $24 ( dividend price )
A) what Carmen must do if she doesn't want cash dividends
Based on shares held the annual dividend of Carmen = 340000 * 0.3 = $102000
If Carmen doesn't want the cash dividend she can use it to purchase more shares for Wiseguy entertainment which will be = dividend received / dividend price = 102000 / 24 = 4250 shares
when the Annual dividend required is $82000
she can buy shares worth = $20000 ( 102000 - 82000 )
= 20000 / 24 = 833.33
when the Annual dividend required is $107000
Carmen can sell shares worth = $5000 ( 107000 - 102000 )
= 5000 / 24 = 208.33
therefore wealth in cash would be
= $107000
wealth in paper would be
= dividend price * number of shares held
= $24 * 340000 = $8160000

Suppose you run a lawn mowing business. You charge $15 per lawn, you can mow five lawns in an eight hour day, and you work five days a week. You currently have more people asking you to mow their lawns than you can satisfy so you are considering hiring someone to help. Your other option is to rent a riding lawn mower that will enable you to mow seven lawns each day. Your friend Jim, a good worker, will work for $8 per hour and will be able to mow five lawns in an eight hour day also. If you rent a riding mower, it will cost you $100 per week plus $25 for gas and oil.
Required:
What is your best option? Explain why you believe this is your best choice.
Answer:
Option 2
Explanation:
Option 1 If we hire someone to help
Revenue = $15/lawn x 5 lawns per day
Revenue = $75 x 7 days = $525
Total cost = Rate per hour x No. of lawns per day x No, of hours worked
Total cost = $8 x 5 x $8
Total cost = $320 x 7days = 2,240
Profit/Loss = $525- $2,240
Profit/loss = $1,715 loss
Option 2 If we rent a riding mower
Revenue = 7 lawns per day x $15/lawn x 7 days
Revenue = $735
Cost = $100 + $25 for gas and oi
Cost = $125
Profit/loss = $610
The best option would be Option 2 because Firstly it is very much low in cost and provides us a great revenue secondly, it also increases our work efficiency.
The Pioneer Petroleum Corporation has a bond outstanding with an $60 annual interest payment, a market price of $880, and a maturity date in eight years. Assume the par value of the bond is $1,000.
Find the following:________.
(Use the approximation formula to compute the approximate yield to maturity and use the calculator method to compute the exact yield to maturity. Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
A) Coupon rate %
B) Current yield %
C) Approximate yield to maturity %
D) Exact yield to maturity %
Answer:
A) Coupon rate %
coupon rate = coupon / par value = $60 / $1,000 = 0.06 = 6%
B) Current yield %
current yield = coupon / bond's market price = $60 / $880 = 0.06818 = 6.82%
C) Approximate yield to maturity %
Approximate YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2] = {60 + [(1,000 - 880)/8] / [(1,000 + 880)/2] = 75 / 940 = 0.07978 x 100 = 7.98%
D) Exact yield to maturity = 8.096%
I used a financial calculator to determine the exact YTM, but you can also do it by solving the following equation:
Price = [coupon / (1 + r)] + [coupon / (1 + r)²] + [coupon / (1 + r)³] + [coupon / (1 + r)⁴] + [coupon / (1 + r)⁵] + [coupon / (1 + r)⁶] + [coupon / (1 + r)⁷] + [(coupon + face value) / (1 + r)⁸]
880 = [60 / (1 + r)] + [60 / (1 + r)²] + [60 / (1 + r)³] + [60 / (1 + r)⁴] + [60 / (1 + r)⁵] + [60 / (1 + r)⁶] + [60 / (1 + r)⁷] + [1,060 / (1 + r)⁸]

A company revealed the following figures: Sales revenue $2,240,000 Contribution margin $560,000 Net operating income $410,000 How much is the company's margin of safety in dollars
Answer:
The company's margin of safety in dollars is $1,640,000 .
Explanation:
Margin of Safety is the amount in units or dollars by which sales may fall before a Company starts making a loss.
The first step is to calculate break even point in dollar sales.
Break even point in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio
Where,
Fixed Costs = Contribution margin - Operating Income
= $560,000 - $410,000
= $150,000
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales revenue
= $560,000 ÷ $2,240,000
= 0.25
Thus,
Break even point in dollar sales = $150,000 / 0.25
= $600,000
Margin of Safety = Expect Sales - Break Even Sales
= $2,240,000 - $600,000
= $1,640,000

You consider a bullish spread option strategy by purchasing a call option with a $25 exercise price priced at $4 and by writing a call option with a $40 exercise price priced at $2.50. If the price of the stock increases to $50 at expiration and each option is exercised on the expiration date, what is the net profit per share at expiration (ignoring transaction costs)
Answer:
The net profit is $13.50
Explanation:
The following data is use for computation
-Exercise price of a call option Xl is $25
-Price of a call option with lower exercise price Cl is $4
-Exercise size of a call option Xh is $40
-Price of a call option with lower exercise price Ch is $2.5
-Price of stock at expiration Sr is $50
Each point is exercise on the date of expiration
Transaction cost is Nil
Considering bullish spread strategy, the equation for net profit per share at expiration is as follows:
Net Profit = Xh - Xl + Ch - Cl
Net Profit = $40 - $25 + $2.5 - $4
Net Profit = $13.50
Thus, the net profit per share at expiration is $13.50
