Answer:
sustainable growth rate = 5.04%
Explanation:
the sustainable growth rate = retention rate x return on equity
retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio = 1 - 40% = 60%return on equity = profit margin x asset turnover x equity multiplier = 4% x 1.5 x 1.4 = 0.084 = 8.4%sustainable growth rate = 0.6 x 8.4% = 5.04%
the mathematical explanation on how I determined ROE:
equity multiplier = total assets / equity
1.4 equity = total assets
total assets turnover = net sales / total assets
1.5 = net sales / 1.4 equity
2.1 equity = net sales
profit margin = net profit / net sales
net sales = net profit / 0.04
2.1 equity = net profit / 0.04
2.1 x 0.04 = net profit / equity = ROE = 0.084

Your grandfather wants to establish a scholarship in his father’s name at a local university and has stipulated that you will administer it. As you’ve committed to fund a $25,000 scholarship every year beginning one year from tomorrow, you’ll want to set aside the money for the scholarship immediately. At tomorrow’s meeting with your grandfather and the bank’s representative, you will need to deposit how much money so that you can fund the scholarship forever, assuming that the account will earn 4.50% per annum every year?
a. $111,111
b. $88,889
c. $100,000
d. $133,333
Oops! The bank representative just reported that he misquoted the available interest rate on the scholarship’s account. Your account should earn 3.50%. The amount of your required deposit should be revised to:________
a. $60,715
b. $53,572
c. $71,429
d. $67,858
Answer:
$555,555.56$714,285.71Explanation:
1. This scholarship is forever so this is a perpetuity. The amount you need to put in is the present value of a perpetuity.
= Perpetuity/ Rate
= 25,000/4.5%
= $555,555.56
2. = Perpetuity/ Rate
= 25,000/3.5%
= $714,285.71

Kirk wants to get an FHA loan. Which of the following is Kirk himself not likely to do during the application process?
Answer:
C. Find a lender who is willing to do FHA-loans.
Explanation:
The Federal Housing Administration loan program was instituted by the United States government to make owning homes by the citizens easier. To be qualified, an applicant's minimum credit score should be 500 with a downpayment of 3.5% with a credit score of 580 and 10% for a credit score which is between 500 to 579. He must be willing to do, mortgage insurance, and the house which he wishes to own must meet the FHA's requirements.
However, it does not depend on him to find a lender willing to do FHA loans, rather, the lender must be approved by the Federal Housing Administration. He can only obtain his loan from an FHA-approved lending financial institution.
The Federal Housing Administration loan program was established by the US government to make homeownership more accessible to individuals.
To be considered, an applicant's credit score must be at least 500, with a downpayment of 3.5 percent for a credit score of 580 and 10% for a credit score of 500 to 579.
He must be ready to pay for mortgage insurance, and the home he seeks to purchase must fulfill FHA guidelines.
However, finding a lender ready to offer FHA loans is not his responsibility; rather, the lender must be approved by the Federal Housing Administration. Only an FHA-approved lending financial institution can provide him with a loan.
So, Option C is correct.
The other Options are incorrect as
Option A is incorrect as finding a home for an FHA loan is the most important thing so this is not the correct option.
Option B is incorrect as visiting an FHA office and ordering an appraisal on the home is also one of the important steps for an FHA loan.
Option D is incorrect as paying mortgage insurance lowers the risk to the lender making a loan to you.
Thus Option C is correct as this is the only option that is not necessary for an FHA loan.

Cost of money Four fundamental factors affect the cost of money: (1) the return that borrowers expect to earn on their investments, (2) the preference of savers to spend their income in the current period rather than delay their consumption until some future period, (3) the risks associated with the investment, and (4) expected inflation. Consider the following statements that address these factors, and indicate which you think are true.
Statement 1: All things being equal, rational savers and investors prefer to invest in an asset that provides a 12% return rather than one that provides an 8% return.
Statement 2: All things being equal, savers and investors prefer more risk to less risk and prefer lower risk premiums on projects exhibiting higher levels of risk.
Statement 3: On average and everything else held constant, borrowers will attempt to pay the maximum possible cash flows that will motivate savers and investors to participate in the transaction.
Statement 4: All things being equal, savers and investors expect to receive some amount of maturity premium as compensation for their deferred consumption.
The true statements are:______.
a. 1, 2, and 3.
b. 1 and 3.
c. 2 and 4.
d. 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Answer:
b. 1 and 3.
Explanation:
The investors are of two types either they are risk averse or risk seekers. Risk averse are those who are not willing to take risks for their investments. They accept lower returns but they are not ready to take more risks than their appetite. Risk seekers are those who demand more risk for more returns. The risks level is so high that even their whole investments can go away but they take this risk to achieve high extra ordinary returns.

You have a total of $289,416 in your retirement savings. You want to withdraw $2,500 from your account at the end of every month for living expenses and expect to earn 4.6 percent per year on your money, compounded monthly. How long will it be until you run out of money
Answer:
You will be able to withdraw $2,500 for 153 months or 12 years, 9 months. The last withdrawal (154th withdrawal) will be smaller, around $782 only.
Explanation:
We can use the present value of an ordinary annuity formula to determine how long it will take to empty the account.
present value of annuity = payment x [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i
289,416 = 2,500 x [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333
289,416 / 2,500 = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333
115.7664 = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333
115.7664 x 0.00383333 = 1 - 1/1.00383333ⁿ
0.443770814 = 1 - 1/1.00383333ⁿ
1/1.00383333ⁿ = 1 - 0.443770814
1/1.00383333ⁿ = 0.556229185
1 / 0.556229185 = 1.00383333ⁿ
1.797820081 = 1.00383333ⁿ
n = log 1.797820081 / log 1.00383333 = 0.254746227 / 0.001661611345 = 153.3128 months
You will be able to withdraw $2,500 for 153 months or 12 years, 9 months. The last withdrawal will be smaller, around $782 only.

he Lubricant is an expensive oil newsletter to which many oil giants subscribe, including Ken Brown (see Problem 3-17 for details). In the last issue, the letter described how the demand for oil products would be extremely high. Apparently, the American consumer will continue to use oil products even if the price of these products doubles. Indeed, one of the articles in the Lubricant states that the chance of a favorable market for oil products was 70%, while the chance of an unfavorable market was only 30%. Ken would like to use these probabilities in determining the best decision. What decision model should be used
Answer: Expected Monetary Value decision model
Explanation:
The Expected Monetary Value (EMV) model is a statistical method used to calculate future payoffs that accounts for the risk and probability of different events happening.
It essentially takes the average of the scenarios that could happen based on their probabilities and their expected payoff and then adds them together to give a value that the investor can base their expectations upon.
For instance, in the above question, assuming that Ken Brown in a favorable market, Ken Brown can sell $500,000 worth of oil products but in an unfavorable one, they can only sell $100,000.
Based on the probabilities of the market conditions, EMV would show a value of;
= (500,000 * 70%) + (100,000 * 30%)
= $380,000

Builder Products, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a caulking compound that goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May:
Production data:
Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000
Pounds started into production during May 100,000
Pounds completed and transferred out _____
Pounds in process, May 31; materials 70% complete; conversion 30% complete 50,000
Cost data:
Work in process inventory, May 1:
Materials cost $152,300
Conversion cost $63,300
Cost added during May:
Materials cost $791,450
Conversion cost $348,100
Required:
a. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
b. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
c. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
d. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
e. Prepare a cost reconciliation report for May.
Answer:
a. Equivalent units
Materials = Beginning inventory + Units started and completed + Ending Inventory
Units started and completed = Pounds started into production - Pounds in process
= 100,000 - 50,000 = 50,000
= 10,000 + 50,000 + (70% * 50,000)
= 95,000
Conversion
= 10,000 + 50,000 + (30% * 50,000)
= 75,000
b. Material Cost per equivalent unit = Material cost/ Equivalent material units
= (Beginning material cost + Cost during May) / 95,000
= (152,300 + 791,450)/95,000
= $9.93
Conversion cost per Equi unit = Conversion cost/ Equivalent Conversion units
= (63,300 + 348,100)/75,000
= $5.49
c. Cost of Ending WIP Material = Material ending WIP * Cost per equivalent unit
= (70% * 50,000) * 9.93
= $347,550
Cost of Ending WIP Conversion = Conversion ending WIP * Cost per equivalent unit
= (30% * 50,000) * 5.49
= $82,350
Total = 347,550 + 82,350 = $429,900
d. Units completed and transferred out = Beginning WIP inventory + Units started during May - Ending inventory
= 10,000 + 100,000 - 50,000
= 60,000
Materials cost transferred
= 60,000 *9.93
= $595,800
Conversion Cost transferred
= 60,000 * 5.49
= $329,400
Total = 595,800 + 329,400 = $925,200
e.
Beginning WIP inventory(152,300 + 63,300) $215,600
Current costs (791,450 + 348,100) $1,139,550
Total costs $1,355,150
Cost accounted:
Cost of units completed and transferred $925,200
Cost of ending work in process $429,900
Total costs accounted for $1,355,150
Venture capital (VC) firms are pools of private capital that typically invest in small, fast-growing companies that can't raise funds through other means. In exchange for this financing, VCs receive a share of a company's equity, and the founders of the firm typically stay on and continue to manage the company. A VC firm wants management to focus on improving , while the managers may also act to increase . VC investments have two typical components:_______.
(1) managers maintain some ownership in the company and often earn additional equity if the company performs well;
(2) VCs demand seats on the company's board. Management ownership serves to the alignment of the incentives of managers with the incentives of owners.
Answera dnd Explanation:
A. The incentive conflict in principal-agent relationship as it concerns venture capitalism is conflict between venture capitalists who are the principals and the managers of the business investment who are the agents. The conflict is that venture capitalists are put to increase value of their investment and make profit while salaried managers are only out to feel their pockets through their managerial role in the company as they do not have an interest in the company and are unaffected by the loss or failure of the company. This is known as the principal agent moral hazard issue in venture capitalism
B. By managers maintaining some ownership in the company, there us reduced conflict as managers now see a reason to make sure company succeeds since they have an interest
Venture capitalists aim to have a seat in the board to make sure managers do not take bad decisions since they are able to veto such decisions
Owens Corporation uses a process costing system. For March, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 60,000 units that were 60% complete with respect to processing. The ending work in process inventory for the month consisted of units that were 20% complete with respect to processing. A summary of unit and cost data for the month follows:
Units Processing Cost
Work-in-process inventory, March 1 60,000 $ 35,000
Units started into production and costs incurred during the month 190,000 $ 700,000
Units completed and transferred out 200,000
Assuming that Owens Corporation uses the FIFO method, which of the following is closest to the cost per equivalent unit for processing cost for March?
A) $3.23
B) $3.98
C) $4.02
D) $4.22
Answer:
C) $4.02
Explanation:
The computation of cost per equivalent unit for processing cost for March is shown below:-
As we know that
Beginning work in process inventory units + Units started into production = Ending work in process inventory units + Units completed and transferred out
60,000 + 190,000 = Units in ending work in process inventory + 200,000
Units in ending work in process inventory is
= 60,000 + 190,000 - 200,000
= 50,000
To complete the beginning work in process inventory:-
Processing: 24,000
60,000 units ×(100% - 60%) a
Units started and completed 140,000
(200,000 − 60,000) b
Ending work in process inventory Processing:
50,000 units × 20% c 10,000
Equivalent units of production 174,000
Cost added throughout the period e 7,00,000
Equivalent units of production f 174,000
Cost per equivalent unit e ÷ f $4.02
It is common for supermarkets to carry both generic (store-label) and brand-name (producer-label) varieties of sugar and other products. Many consumers view these products as perfect substitutes, meaning that consumers are always willing to substitute a constant proportion of the store brand for the producer brand. Consider a consumer who is always willing to substitute four pounds of a generic store-brand sugar for two pounds of a brand-name sugar. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution between store-brand and producer-brand sugar.
Required:
a. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution? Assume that this consumer has $24 of income to spend on sugar, and the price of store-brand sugar is $1 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar is $3 per pound.
b. How much of each type of sugar will be purchased?
c. How would your answer change if the price of store-brand sugar was $2 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar was $3 per pound?
Answer:
a. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution?
no, because the consumer is actually purchasing a higher amount of goods, the only difference is that they are paying a lower price.Assume that this consumer has $24 of income to spend on sugar, and the price of store-brand sugar is $1 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar is $3 per pound.
The consumer will purchase 24 pounds of price of store sugar simply because the price is much lower, not because he/she wants to consume less. Actually a lower price might result in an increase of consumption.b. How much of each type of sugar will be purchased?
If the consumer is willing to spend the whole $24 on sugar, he/she will purchase 24 pounds of store brand sugar. The alternative is to buy 8 pounds of producer brand sugar, and that is not a good deal.c. How would your answer change if the price of store-brand sugar was $2 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar was $3 per pound?
The consumer would purchase 12 pounds of store brand sugar instead of 24, but he/she will still not purchase producer brand sugar since the difference in price is still too high. Remember that consumers view both types of sugar as perfect substitutes, so they will purchase the brand with the lower price.Here are comparative statement data for Duke Company and Lord Company, two competitors.

An Internet company in South Florida is receiving frequent requests from employees who want to telecommute. The company's CTO wants to be flexible and accommodate as many employees as possible. At the same time, the CTO wants to achieve productivity goals and keep to a minimum any legal issues that may arise from this new work alternative. After reading the information presented in this chapter and other sources, answer the following questions and support your answers with references: Provide three guidelines that telecommuters need to follow and why?
Answer with Explanation:
Following are the three guidelines that telecommuters must follow along with its benefits:
Confidentiality must not be breached because the employee is working from home or somewhere he feel comfortable. So the employee must ensure that the he doesn't intentionally and unintentionally breach confidentiality agreement.Ensure Time management which means if they are not giving agreed time to the company affairs then they are not affecting several tasks that will end up in increase in cost and decrease in customer satisfaction.Achieve daily goals because they are accountable for the tasks they are assigned and must remain focused. This will fulfill the purpose of recruiting them which means that the employee is fulfilling his promise of delivering the work agreed. This will help the company gain the benefit for which the company has recruited the employee.The Valley Wine Company produces two kinds of wine—Valley Nectar and Valley Red. The wines are produced from 64 tons of grapes the company has acquired this season. A 1,000-gallon batch of Nectar requires 4 tons of grapes, and a batch of Red requires 8 tons. However, production is lim- ited by the availability of only 50 cubic yards of storage space for aging and 120 hours of process- ing time. A batch of each type of wine requires 5 cubic yards of storage space. The processing time for a batch of Nectar is 15 hours, and the processing time for a batch of Red is 8 hours. Demand for each type of wine is limited to seven batches. The profit for a batch of Nectar is $9,000, and the profit for a batch of Red is $12,000. The company wants to determine the number of 1,000-gallon batches of Nectar ( x 1 ) and Red ( x 2 ) to produce in order to maximize profit.Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.Solve this model by using graphical analysis.
Answer:
maximize 9000n + 12000r
constraints:
4n + 8r ≤ 645n + 5r ≤ 5015n + 8r ≤ 120n ≤ 7r ≤ 7n ≥ 0r ≥ 0
using solver, the solution is:
4 1,000 gallon batches of nectar wine and 6 1,000 gallon batches of red wine
maximum profit = (4 x $9,000) + (6 x $12,000) = $108,000

Drake Appliance Company, an accrual basis taxpayer, sells home appliances and service contracts. Determine the effect of each of the following transactions on the company's 2020 gross income assuming that the company uses any available options to defer its taxes.
a. In December 2019. the company received a $1,200 advance payment from a customer for an appliance that Drake special ordered from the manufacturer. The appliance did not arrive from the manufacturer until January 2019, and Drake immediately delivered it to the customer. The sale was reported in 20IS for financial accounting purposes.
b. In October 2019. the company sold a 6-month service contract for $240. The company also sold a 36-month service contract for $1,260 in July 2019.
Answer:
The correct solution is:
(a) $1200
(b) $330
Explanation:
(a)
The advance payment was issued throughout 2019, but perhaps the items were not shipped in 2019. The products will be shipped in 2020 as well as revenues for financial accounting requirements will be published in 2020. Thus, $1200 would include total sales for 2020.
So,
The $1200 total is reflected in the taxable profits for 2020.
(b)
The service contract, for 6 months will be:
⇒ [tex]Gross \ income=240\times \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=120[/tex] ($)
The service contract, for 36 months will be:
⇒ [tex]Gross \ income = 1260\times \frac{6}{36}[/tex]
[tex]=210[/tex] ($)
In 2020, the total gross income included will be:
[tex]=120+210[/tex]
[tex]=330[/tex] ($)
So,
The amount $330 seems to be included throughout 2020 gross income.

Technology Accessories Inc. is a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of accessories for consumer electronic products. Early in 20Y3, the company began production of a leather cover for tablet computers, called the iLeather. The cover is made of stitched leather with a velvet interior and fits snugly around most tablet computers. In January, $750,000 was spent on developing marketing and advertising materials. For the first six months of 20Y3, the company spent an additional $1,400,000 promoting the iLeather. The product was ready for manufacture on January 21, 20Y3. Technology Accessories Inc. uses a job order cost system to accumulate costs for the iLeather. Direct materials unit costs for the iLeather are as follows:________.Leather $10.00
Velvet 5.00
Packaging 0.40
Total $15.40
The actual production process for the iLeather is fairly straightforward. First, leather is brought to a cutting and stitching machine. The machine cuts the leather and stitches an exterior edge into the product. The machine requires one hour per 125 iLeathers.
After the iLeather is cut and stitched, it is brought to assembly, where assembly personnel affix the velvet interior and pack the iLeather for shipping. The direct labor cost for this work is $0.50 per unit. The completed packages are then sold to retail outlets through a sales force. The sales force is compensated by a 20% commission on the wholesale price for all sales. Total completed production was 500,000 units during the year. Other information is as follows:
Number of iLeather units sold in 20Y3 460,000
Wholesale price per unit $40
Factory overhead cost is applied to jobs at the rate of $1,250 per machine hour. An additional 22,000 cut and stitched iLeathers were waiting to be assembled on December 31, 20Y3.
Instructions
1. Prepare an annual income statement for the iLeather product, including supporting calculations, from the information provided.
2. Determine the balances in the finished goods and work in process inventories for the iLeather product on December 31, 20Y3.
Answer:
1. Net income = $656,000
2. Balance in finished goods inventories is $1,036,000; and balance in work in progress inventories is $558,800.
Explanation:
1. Prepare an annual income statement for the iLeather product, including supporting calculations, from the information provided.
Note: See the attach excel file for the annual income statement.
In the excel file, the following calculations are use:
Workings:
w.1: Units of ending finished goods = Units of finished goods produced - Units of finished goods sold = 500,000 - 460,000 = 40,000
w.2: Sales revenue = Selling price per unit * Unit of finished goods sold = $40 * 460,000 = $18,400,000
w.3: Overhead cost per unit = Cost per machine hour / Number of iLeather per machine hour = $1,250 / 125 = $10
w.4: Cost of goods manufactured per unit = Material cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Overheads per unit = 15.4 + 0.5 + 10 = $25.90
w.5: Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured per unit * Units of finished goods sold = $25.90 * 460,000 = $11,914,000
w.6: Salespersons commission = Percentage of commission * Sales revenue = 20% * $18,400,000 = $3,680,000
2. Determine the balances in the finished goods and work in process inventories for the iLeather product on December 31, 20Y3.
Balance in finished goods inventories = Unit of ending finished goods * Cost of goods manufactured per unit = 40,000 * $25.90 = $1,036,000
Balance in work in progress inventories = Units of work in progress * (Material cost + Overhead per unit) = 22,000 * (15.4 + $10) = 22,000 * 25.4 = $558,800
Therefore, balance in finished goods inventories is $1,036,000; and balance in work in progress inventories is $558,800.

Factory overhead costs = $5,000,000 ($1,250 x 4,000).
Work in process inventory costs:
Factory overhead costs = $220,000 (22,000/125 x $1,250).
Direct materials = $338,800 ($15.40 x 22,000)
The total work in process inventory costs = $558,800 ($220,000 + $338,800)
Wholesale price per unit = $40
Sales revenue = $18,400,000 ($40 x 460,000)
Sales commission = 20% of wholesale price or $8 per unit ($40 x 20%)
The total sales commission = $3,680,000 ($8 x 460,000).
Production costs:
Direct materials costs = $7,700,000 ($15.40 x 500,000)
Direct labor costs = $250,000 ($0.50 x 500,000)
Factory overhead costs = $5,000,000
Total production costs = $12,950,000

Moon Company sells Product Q at $6 a unit. In 20XO fixed costs are expected to be $200,000 and variable costs are estimated at $4 a unit. How many units of Product Q must Moon sell to generate operating income of $40,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 120,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $6
Unitary variable cost= $4
Fixed costs= $200,000
Desired profit= $40,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000 + 40,000) / (6 - 4)
Break-even point in units= 120,000
Grady is a member of a large family and received the following payments this year. For each payment, determine whether the payment constitutes realized income and determine the amount of each payment Grady must include in his gross income. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
A gift of $60,000 of Ford Motor Bonds. Grady received the bonds on October 31, and he received $1,800 of semiannual interest from the bonds on December 31.
Answer:
Since Grady received the $60,000 gift, he does not owe any taxes on that transaction. When a gift is made, the receiving party pays no taxes, but the giving party has to pay taxes if it exceeds the $15,000 annual threshold or the $11.4 million lifetime exclusion.
But Grady must include the interests that he earned from the bonds as part of his gross income ($1,800). Interests are taxed as ordinary income.
