Watson consulting, llc is a consultancy to consultants. They have bonds which have a face value of $1,000. The bonds carry a 3.5 percent semi-annual coupon, and mature in 10 years. What is the current price of these bonds if the yield to maturity (the going market rate, rd) is 5 percent

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The current market price is $ 883.08  

Explanation:

The current market price can be ascertained using the pv excel function as follows:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the semiannual yield to maturity which is 5%/2

nper is the number of semiannual coupons in the bond i.e 10*2=20

pmt is the semiannual coupon=3.5%*1/2*$1000=$17.5

fv is the face value of the bond

=-pv(5%/2,20,17.5,1000)=$ 883.08

Assets, current liabilities, and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant dividend payout ratio and debt-equity ratio and is operating at full capacity. What is the maximum dollar Increase In sales that can be sustalned next year assuming no new equity is Issued?
a. $2151.
b. $1,211.
c. $2.804.
d. $2.267.
e. $1,667.

Answers

Answer:

d. $2.267.

Explanation:

We have to calculate first sustainable growth rate

For sustainable growth rate, we need ROE & Retention Ratio

Total Assets          52,800

Less: Total debt    24,300

Total Equity           28,500

ROE= Net income / Equity

ROE= 2937 / 28500 * 100

ROE= 10.305%

Retention Ratio = 45 %

Hence, Sustainable Growth Rate = (ROE * b) / (1-ROE*b)

Sustainable Growth Rate = (10.31% * 0.45)/(1-{10.31% * 0.45})

Sustainable Growth Rate = 4.863%

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales * 100

6.3 = 2,937 / Sales * 100

Sales = $46,619

Therefore Maximum dollar increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate

= $46,619 * (4.863%)

= $2,267.08

Therefore, Maximum dollar increase = $2267.08

A regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the costs of a product (y), the time to make the product (x1 ), the number of different materials used (x2), and the amount spent on marketing the product (x3). The estimated regression equation is . What is the estimated cost if the time to make the product is 5 hours, the number of different materials used is 4, and the amount spent on marketing is $100? a. 83 b. 205.4 c. 213 d. 185.4

Answers

Answer:  d. 185.4

Explanation:

x1 = The time to make the product which is 5 hours

x2 = the number of different materials used which is 4

x3 = the amount spent on marketing the product  which is $100

The Regression equation is given as;

y = [tex]83 - 2x_{1} + 0.6x_{2} + 1.1x_{3}[/tex]

Cost = 83 - 2(5) + 0.6(4) + 1.1 (100)

Cost = 83 - 10 + 2.4 + 110

Cost = 185.4

Charlie's adjusted basis in S corporation stock was $12,000. His share of S corporation losses was $22,000. How much of the loss clears the basis limitation and what is the treatment of the remaining loss (if any)

Answers

Answer:

1. $12,000 is the amount of the loss that will clear the basis limitation

2.Remaining loss of the amount of $10,000 will be put on hold

Explanation:

Calculation of How much of the loss clears the basis limitation and what is the treatment of the remaining loss

Based on the information given his adjusted basis in S corporation stock was the amount of $12,000 which means that the amount of $12,000 will be the amount of the loss that will clear the basis limitation

Secondly since his share of S corporation losses was the amount of $22,000 which means that the remaining loss will be $10,000($22,000-$12,000).

Based on this the remaining loss of the amount of $10,000 will be put on hold and can be carried forward at unspecified period of time while the amount of $12,000 may be deducted in the current year.

On January 1, an investment account is worth 300,000. M months later, the value has increased to 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. 2M months prior to the end of the year, the account is again worth 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. On December 31, the account is worth 315,000. The annual effective yield rate, using the dollar-weighted method, is 16%. Calculate M.

Answers

Answer:

M = 3

Explanation:

The first withdrawal takes place 1 - M/12 months until the end of the year. The second withdrawal takes place 2M/12 months before the end of the year.

$315,000 = ($300,000 x 1.16) - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(1 - M/12)]} - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(2M/12)]}

$315,000 = $348,000 - [$15,000 x (1.16 - 0.16M/12)] - [$15,000 x (1 + 0.32M/12)]

$315,000 = $348,000 - $17,400+ 200M - $15,000 - 400M

$315,000 = $315,600 - 200M

200M = $315,600 - $315,000 = $600

M = 600 / 200 = 3

Great Lakes Packing has two bond issues outstanding. The first issue has a coupon rate of 3.82 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 6 years, has a total face value of $5.2 million, and is quoted at 103 percent of face value. The second issue has a coupon rate of 6.59 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 14 years, has a total face value of $9.5 million, and is quoted at 107 percent of face value. Both bonds pay interest semiannually. The company's tax rate is 35 percent. What is the firm's weighted average aftertax cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

3.22%

Explanation:

we must first determine the yield to maturity of both bonds in order to determine their before tax cost of debt:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM Bond₁ = {19.10 + [(1,000 - 1,030)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,030)/2] = 16.6 / 1,015 = 0.01635 x 2 = 3.27%

YTM Bond₂ = {32.95 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/28]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 0.0294 x 2 = 5.88%

firm's weighted after tax cost of debt = {[($5.2 / $14.7) x 3.27%] x (1 - 0.35)} + {[($9.5 / $14.7) x 5.88%] x (1 - 0.35)} = 0.75% + 2.47% = 3.22%

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Where, Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales

                                                        = $200,000 ÷ $ 1,000,000

                                                        = 0.20

Thus, Break-even point in dollar sales = $250,000 ÷ 0.20

                                                               = $1,250,000

New Contribution Margin Ratio =   $600,000 ÷ $ 1,000,000

                                                    =   0.60

New Break-even point in dollar sales

Break-even point in dollar sales = ($250,000 + $200,000) ÷ 0.60

Airco Company is tempted to consider support department costs to be facility-level costs that do not need to be applied to products. Which of the following explains what is misguided about this approach?
1. Product costs may be inaccurate because straight-line depreciation on factory equipment is treated as a genera and administrative expense on the income statement.
2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.
3. Product costs may be inaccurate because incorrect cost drivers are used.
4. Product costs may be inaccurate because direct labor and direct materials are not correctly accounted for in thu product costing system.

Answers

Answer:

Option 2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.

Explanation:

Option 1 is not a misguide about this approach as all the depreciation costs are considered as general or administration expenses.

Option 3 is incorrect because cost drivers of cost pools are always accurate, they can not be used inaccurately while using Activity Based Costing.

Option 4 is also incorrect because direct costs are prime cost which are easily attributable to products and in this scenario, the indirect costs are considered inappropriate to be assigned to the product cost.

Option 2 is correct because considering support department costs to be facility-level costs would result in inappropriate cost allocations to some products as a single appropriate basis would be used to allocate the support department services cost to each product. This means if appropriate basis is not chosen correctly then this would result in inaccurate allocation as some of the products will be using the support services heavily than others.

The market rate at the issue date is 3.9%. What amount of interest expense will be recorded on July 1, 2020 (the first interest payment)

Answers

Answer:

$31,310.35

Explanation:

Face value = 2,000,000

Semiannual interest = 2,000,000 *0.015 * 6/12= 15,000

Semiannual yield = 3.9*6/12= 1.95%

Semiannual months = 10*2= 20

Issue price =[PVA 1.95%,20 * Interest] + [PVF 1.95%,20 * Face value]

Issue price = [16.43061*15,000]+ [ .67960* 2,000,000]

Issue price = 246459.10+ 1,359,200

Issue price = $1,605,659.10

The amount of interest expense to be recorded on July 1, 2020 (the first interest payment = Issued price * Semi annual yield

= $1,605,659.10 * 1.95%

=$1,605,659.10 * 1.95%

=$31,310.35

Thus, the amount of $31,310.35 will be recorded as the interest expense on July 1, 2020

Investment can be increased both by reducing taxes on private saving and by reducing the government budget deficit.
It is difficult to implement both of these policies at the same time because reducing taxes on private spending has the effect of the government budget deficit. What would you need to know about private saving to judge which of these two policies would be a more effective way to raise investment?
A. The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate
B. The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit
C. The elasticity of investment with respect to the interest rate

Answers

Answer:

1. Increasing

2. A. The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate

B. The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit

C. The elasticity of investment with respect to the interest rate

Explanation:

1. It is difficult to implement both of these policies at the same time because reducing taxes on private spending has the effect of Increasing the government budget deficit.

A Government budget deficit is acquired when the government spends more than it earns. The Government earns money from taxes and if it spends more than it receives in taxes, that will lead to a deficit. If taxes on Private spending are reduced, this will lead to less tax revenue for the government thereby increasing the Deficit.

2. All of the listed options are useful in determining which policy would be a more effective way to raise investment.

The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate refers to how much private saving changes in reaction to a change in the tax rates. This can enable one decide how much investment will be expected if the Government reduces or increases taxes.

The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit is also a useful factor to look at because private savings reduce when government deficits reduce.

Also how much does investment change by due to interest rates. This will be important to note in terms of Private Investment to see if it will be beneficial to use it over reducing the government budget deficit given a certain interest rate.

Process costing typically uses only one Work in Process Inventory account, while job order costing typically uses a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each department.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Process costing typically uses only one Work in Process Inventory account, while job order costing typically uses a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each department. This is simply a false statement.

Process costing can be defined as a cost accounting method used for assigning manufacturing or production costs to the units of goods produced by a business firm over a specific period of time. It is mostly used by firms that produce a large quantity of homogeneous or similar products on a continuous basis. Process costing typically uses more than one Work in Process Inventory account because costing at each stage of production or manufacturing process.

Job order costing can be defined as a cost accounting method used to determine and accumulation of the cost of manufacturing each product or a single unit of production. Job costing order typically uses only one Work in Process Inventory account for each product.

In conclusion, Process costing typically uses a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each department while job order costing typically uses only one Work in Process Inventory account for each product.

The profit leverage effect (ratio) is calculated by A. dividing 1.0 by the profit margin. B. dividing pretax earnings by the cost of goods sold. C. dividing sales by the cost of goods sold. D. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

D. none of the above

Explanation:

The profit leverage effect shows that in order to increase net profits, it is better and more efficient to reduce operating expenses rather than increasing total net sales revenue.

Answers

Answer:

a. Beck Inc. = 5.00  and Bryant Inc. = 2.50

b. Beck Inc. =  $100,000 and 100%  : Bryant Inc. =  $150,000 and 50 %

c. True.

Explanation:

Degree of Operating Leverage shows,  the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) would change as a result of a change in Sales contribution.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT

Thus,

Beck Inc = $500,000 ÷ $100,000

              = 5.00

Bryant Inc. = $750,000 ÷ $300,000

                 = 2.50

If Sales increased by 20% the effects on Incomes would be :

Beck Inc = 20% × 5.00

              = 100%

              = $100,000 × 100%

              = $100,000

Bryant Inc.=  20% × 2.50

              =  50 %

              =  $300,000 × 50 %

              =  $150,000

Answers

Answer:

$2.64 per units

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per equivalent unit of material is shown below:

Cost per equivalent unit is

= (Beginning conversion cost + cost incurred during October) ÷ (Total equivalent units)

= ($99,700 + $939,300) ÷ (390,000 units  + (40,000 units × 10%))

= $1,039,000 ÷ 394,000 units

= $2.64 per units

We simply applied the above formula

Answer:

$340,500

Explanation:

From the above information, the below data are given;

Purchase discounts $5,600, freight in $7,800, purchases 350,000, beginning inventory $23,500, closing inventory $28,800, purchase returns and allowance $6,400

Classify the assumptions according to whether or not each item is an assumption made under perfect competition (also known as pure competition or competitive industry).
Assumed in perfect competition Not assumed in perfect competition
a. price-taking behavior
b. a small number of producers
c. firms selling a similar but differentiated good
d. significant barriers to entry

Answers

Answer:

Option “A” is the assumption of perfect competition while options B, C, and D are not the assumption of perfect competition.

Explanation:

Option A, is the assumption of perfect competition because, in the perfect competition, the industry decides the price with the help of market forces demand and supply. Moreover, this determined price is followed by firms in the industry. While the other options are not assumed in perfect competition because there are a large number of firms that can be seen in perfect competition and these firms sell homogeneous goods. Furthermore, the firms are free to enter and exit the market.

The following assumption are made under perfect competition:

price-taking behavior

The following assumption are not made under perfect competition:

small number of producers firms selling a similar but differentiated good significant barriers to entry

Perfect competition is a market where there are many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. There are no barriers to the entry or exit of firms into the market. An example of perfect competition is the market for apples. All apples are identical and there are many farmers who sell apples.

The market price of goods in a perfect competition is set by the market forces. So, buyers and sellers are price takers. They take the price as determined by the market forces. There is perfect information in a perfect competition.

Purchase on February 17 $200,000
Purchase on May 6 120,000
Purchase on September 8 150,000
Purchase on December 4 400,000
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $880,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= $45,000

Ending inventory= $35,000

Total Purchase= 870,000

To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 45,000 + 870,000 - 35,000

COGS= $880,000

If the required reserve ratio is 0.15, the maximum increase in checking account deposits that will result from an increase in bank reserves of $5,000 is $________

Answers

it can be any of them but i think simple deposit multiplier = 1/1RR

The formula for the simple deposit multiplier is:

B. Simple Deposit Multiplier = 1 / (1 - RR)

Where RR is the required reserve ratio.

How to explain

In your example, the required reserve ratio is 0.15, which means that banks are required to keep 15% of their deposits in reserve. This means that for every $1 in deposits, banks can lend out $0.85.

The maximum increase in checking account deposits is therefore equal to the simple deposit multiplier times the initial increase in bank reserves. In your example, the initial increase in bank reserves is $5,000. So, the maximum increase in checking account deposits is:

$5,000 * 1.176 = $5,882.35

Therefore, the maximum increase in checking account deposits that will result from an increase in bank reserves of $5,000 is $5,882.35

Option B is correct.

A. The ad is clear and specific about what was being offered and asked for in exchange.
B. The ad lacks intent to constitute an offer.
C. The number of people who have the power of acceptance is limited.

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In simple words, The seller must have intention of making the offer. These are determined first from offeree 's place that there is intention to make an bid. When a fair person in the offerer 's position assumes that the terms or acts of the offeror represent an offer, that is an bid. It is an empirical, and not a moral, criterion for deciding that there is an desire to accept an bid.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .

Suppose you deposit nothing at the beginning and instead you divide up the $600 into 12 envelopes each with $50. Find the balance after one year if you deposit one $50 envelope each month, all year, into an account that pays 5% APR with monthly compounding.

Answers

Answer:

$3400.03

Explanation:

The balance one in one year would be the future value of the annuity

The formula for calculating future value of an annuity = A / [B / (r/m) ]

B = [(1 + r/m)^nm] - 1

FV = Future value  

P = Present value of annuity  = $50

R = interest rate  = 5%

N = number of years  = 1

m = number of compounding per year

[(1 + 0.004167)^60] - 1 = 0.283359

$50 x (0.283359 / 0.004167) = $3400.03
