Answer:
Initial deposit= $16,260.08
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $31,750 in 11 years.
You can earn an annual interest rate of 6 percent for the first 6 years, and 6.6 percent for the next 5 years.
To calculate the initial deposit, we need to use the following formula for each interest rate:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Last 5 years:
PV= 31,750/(1.066^5)= 23,065.23
First 6 years:
PV= 23,065.23/1.06^6= $16,260.08
Prepare journal entries to record the following four separate issuances of stock.
1. A corporation issued 8,000 shares of $20 par value common stock for $192,000 cash.
2. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $33,000. The stock has a $1 per share stated value.
3. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $33,000. The stock has no stated value.
4. A corporation issued 2,000 shares of $75 par value preferred stock for $183,000 cash.
Answer:
1.
DR Cash $192,000
CR Common stock. $160,000
CR Paid-in capital in excess of par value - Common stock $32,000
Working
Common Stock = $20 * 8,000
= $160,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value - Common stock = 192,000 - 160,000
= $32,000
2
DR Organization expenses $33,000
CR Common stock, $4,000
CR Paid-in capital in excess of stated value - common stock $29,000
Working
Common Stock = 1 * 4,000
= $4,000
Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = 33,000 - 4,000
= $29,000
3
DR Organization expenses $33,000
CR Common stock $33,000
4
DR Cash $183,000
CR Preferred stock $150,000
CR Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock $33,000
Working
Preferred Stock = 75 * 2,000
= $150,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock = 183,000 - 150,000
= $33,000
You own two different energy drink brands with similar elasticities: "Blue Cow" and "600 minute energy." If you reduce the price on "Blue Cow", you can only increase your total sales if
Answer: b. Prices for “600 minute energy” are reduced
Explanation:
The drinks have similar elasticities so they are substitutes. This means that reducing the price of one will cause people to demand less of the other drink. By reducing the price of "Blue Cow", there will be less demand for "600 minute energy".
To increase total sales therefore, the effects of the decrease in the price of Blue Cow must be counteracted. To do so, the price of 600 minute energy must be reduced as well. This way people will demand the two drinks more. This reduction will draw in people buying other drinks apart from these 2 thereby increasing total sales.

Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $4,200,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below:
Land $1,425,000
Building 2,100,000
Equipment 1,575,000
Trucks 2,550,000
Assuming that specific identification costs are impracticable and that Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
A. $1,400,000
B. $2,100,000
C. $2,520,000
D. $2,550,000
Answer:
A. $1,400,000
Explanation:
Amount to be allocated = Auction price / Total individual price * Truck price
Auction price = $4,200,000
Total individual price = $1,425,000 + $2,100,000 + 1,575,000 + $2,550,000 = $7,650,000
Truck price = $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = ($4,200,000 / $7,650,000) * $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = $1,400,000
A small Canadian firm that has developed some valuable new medical products using its unique biotechnology know-how is trying to decide how best to serve the European Union. Its choices are given below. The cost of investment in manufacturing facilities will be a major one for the Canadian firm, but it is not outside its reach. If these are the firm's only options, which one would you advise it to choose? Why?
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
b. Manufacture the product at home and set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Europe to handle marketing.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
Explanation:
For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.
The foreign agent would strictly be focused on the marketing of the finished product without having access to the detailed information of the product.

Suppose investors can earn a return of 2% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for?
Answer:
Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92
Explanation:
The price of the treasury note would be the present value of the future receivable on maturity discounted at the rate of return of 2% per six-month.
The formula is FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- ?
FV - Future Value, - 10,000
n- number of years- 1/2
r- interest rate - 2%
PV = 10,000 × (1.02)^(-1)
PV = 9,803.92
Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92
Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.
Answer:
both statements are false
Explanation:
if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.
also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.
A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.00 per guest check-in, $20.00 per room cleaning, and $4.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total activity-based cost for Washington's visit during the month. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Total cost= $172
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
guest check-in= $8 per guest check-in
room cleaning= $20 per room
meal service= $4 per served meal
Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit.
To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
guest check-in= 8*1= 8
room cleaning= 20*7= 140
meal service= 4*6= 24
Total cost= $172
Ben has $500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal after-tax interest rate and the real after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.
Answer:
Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%Explanation:
The Nominal rate is 10%
Inflation rate is 6%
And Tax rate is 20%
Nominal after-tax interest rate
= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)
= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)
= 8%
Real After-Tax Interest Rate
= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate
= 8% - 6%
= 2%

Suppose that on January 1, the cost of borrowing French francs for the year is 18%. During the year, U.S. inflation is 5%, and French inflation is 9%. At the same time, the exchange rate changes from FF 1 = $0.15 on January 1 to FF 1 = $0.10 on December 31. What was the real U.S. dollar cost of borrowing francs (real interest rate in U.S.) for the year?
Answer:
-25.08%.
Explanation:
Given that, during the year, the franc devalued by (0.15 - 0.10)/0.15 = 33.33%.
Then, the nominal dollar cost of borrowing French francs, therefore, was 0.18(1 - 0.3333) - 0.3333 = -21.33%.
Thus, for each dollar's worth of francs borrowed on January 1, it cost only $1 - $0.2133 = $0.7867 to repay the principal plus interest.
Also, with U.S. inflation of 5% during the year, the real dollar cost of repaying the principal and interest is $0.7867/1.05 = $0.7492.
Subtracting the original $1 borrowed, it shows that the real dollar cost of repaying the franc loan is -$0.2508 or a real dollar interest rate of -25.08%.
Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to
Answer:
Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Explanation:
This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)
Where;
Y = Total Output = $35 billion
C = Desired consumption = $15 billion
G = Government purchases = $10 billion
I = Desired investment = $6 billion
NX = Net foreign lending = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:
$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX
$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX
NX = $4 billion
Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Which of the following is the easiest but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments?
A. Sequential method
B. Activity-based management method
C. Reciprocal services method
D. Direct method
Answer:
D. Direct method
Explanation:
Cost allocation in financial accounting can be defined as the process of identifying, gathering and assigning of cost across multiple cost objects such as products, inventory or departments.
There are various types of cost allocation methods and these are;
1. Sequential method.
2. Activity-based management method.
3. Reciprocal services method.
4. Direct method.
The direct method is an allocation method for cost, where costs of the production service department are directly allocated to the production (operating) department of a firm or business entity using appropriate allocation base and then allocated to the product itself.
Generally, the direct method is the easiest (simplest) but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments.
Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers):

Answer is complete and correct
Total Revenue
University $ 31,500
Memorial $ 31,500
Answer:
Worley CompanyComputation of Total Revenue from University and Memorial:
Total Cost = $38,541.00
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Total Revenue $40,468.05
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders

Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Data on University and Memorial Hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Activity Rates:
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000/5,000 = $100
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000/4,000 = $62
processing
Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000/12,500 = $16
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000/450,000 = $1
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Cost of Selling and Administrative Expenses to the two hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial Total Total Cost
Number of deliveries 10 25 35 $3,500
Number of manual orders 0 30 30 $1,860
Number of electronic orders 15 0 15 $240
Number of line items picked 120 250 370 $370
Total Selling and Administrative Expenses $5,970
Cost of medical supplies = $30,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $5,970
Fixed costs = $2,571
($5,970/$1,398,000 x $602,000)
Total Cost = $38,541
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Selling price $40,468.05
b) The case stated that both University and Memorial had purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers. This implies that each hospital did not buy supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 for each. Based on this assumed fact from the case, the total revenue that Worley would collect from the two hospitals after keying in the selling and distribution and head office fixed costs, to get a total cost of $38,541.00 and adding the 5% markup, the revenue that Worley would receive would be $40,468.05 ($38,541 x 1.05).
A company’s perpetual preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $2.10 per share. The preferred stock’s market value is $36.04 per share and the company’s tax rate is 30%. If the flotation costs for preferred stock are 6%, what is the company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing? Question 4 options: 1) 5.87% 2) 7.25% 3) 6.54% 4) 6.20% 5) 5.41%
Answer:
6.20%
Explanation:
The company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing is the annual dividend payable on the preferred stock divided by the net price of the stock
annual dividend is $2.10
net price=market price*(1-flotation cost %)
net price=$36.04 *(1-6%)
net price=$ 33.88
company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing=$2.10/$33.88
company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing==6.20%

On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.
At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:
Revenues 65,550 Machine 13,590 Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250 Other assets 27,710 Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300 Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000
Required:
Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.
Answer:
Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520
Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200
Explanation:
To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;
Revenue $65,550
Expenses $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)
Net Income $26,300
Noncontrolling percentage = 40%
NonControlling Income = $10,520
Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]
= 3,200

The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit
Answer and Explanation:
The fiduciary duty of care also called duty of care is the fudicaiary responsibility that requires board directors of a company to act and make decisions in good faith, having the best interest of the company in mind. This duty(whether written or implied) makes board directors responsible in ensuring that decisions made for the company are sound, ethical and legal.
In the above example, board directors of the suds corporation may have not performed this duty as required but this would depend on thorough investigation to ascertain the method and process by which the decision was arrived on. For instance, we are sure the decision was legal and also ethical(as they were only out to improve on company products and increase revenue likewise), we are not sure however of the soundness of this decision. This leads us to investigate the processes and results obtained from enquiring/researching on this new product decided on by the board. Therefore was it sound according to these results and processes. This is where evidence of a breach of duty by the board may be found
