Answer:
Margin call will be obtained if the stock price drops below $35.71
Explanation:
Here in this question, we start by calculating the maintenance margin
Mathematically;
Maintenance margin = Equity/market value
From the question, maintenance margin= 30%
= 30/100 = 0.3
Let the unknown price be P.
Thus, the market value of the 200 shares at price P is 200p
Hence;
0.3 = (200 * p - purchased stock value * initial margin)/200p
0.3 * 200p = 200p - 200(0.5 * 50)/200p
0.3 * 200p = 200p - 5000
60p = 200p -5000
140p = 5000
p = 5000/140
p = $35.71
Windy Inc. is considering expanding on some land that it currently owns. The initial cost of the land was $300,000 and it is currently valued at $251,900. The company has some unused equipment that it currently owns valued at $30,000 that could be used for this project if $15,000 is spent for equipment modifications. What is the amount of the initial cash flow for this expansion project
Answer:
The amount of the initial cash flow for this expansion project is $15,000.
Explanation:
It is important to remember that Sunk costs are not relevant for decision making.
Sunk Cost are costs already incurred as a results of past decisions.
The Cost of Land of $300,000 and the Cost of Equipment Valued at $30,000 are both Sunk costs and are not relevant for this expansion project.
The Relevant Costs (Initial Cash Flow) is $15,000 for modifications.
A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?
Answer:
$175,000
Explanation:
A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line
The firm projects a sales of $380,000
The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000
Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows
= $1,750,000-$1,575,000
= $175,000
Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000
During the month of April, direct labor cost totaled $15,000 and direct labor cost was 40% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during April were $77,000, the manufacturing overhead was:
Answer:
Manufacturing overhead= $39,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor= $15,000
Direct labor cost was 40% of prime cost.
Total manufacturing costs= $77,000
First, we need to calculate the prime cost:
Prime cost= direct material + direct labor
Prime cost= 15,000/0.4= 37,500
Now, we can determine the manufacturing overhead:
Manufacturing overhead= total manufacturing costs - prime costs
Manufacturing overhead= 77,000 - 37,500
Manufacturing overhead= $39,500
distributes a product that sells for $8 per unit. Variable expenses are $4 per unit, and fixed expenses total $20000 annually. Assume that the company sold 21600 units last year. The president wants to increase the sales commission by $0.6 per unit. She thinks that this move, combined with some increase in advertising, would double annual unit sales. Q: By how much could advertising be increased with profits remaining unchanged
Answer:
$60,480
Explanation:
The computation of advertising be increased with profits remaining unchanged is shown below:-
Particulars Current Proposed
Units 21,600 43,200
Sales $172,800 $345,600
($8 × 21,600) ($16 × 21,600)
Less: Variable expenses $86,400 $172,800
(21,600 × $4) (43,200 × $4)
Sales commission - $25,920
Less: Fixed expenses $20,000 $20,000
Net income $66,400 $126,880
So, the difference is $126,880 - $66,400
= $60,480
A decrease in real GDP causes a __________the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes a__________ the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes a_____________ the money demand curve.
Answer:
A decrease in real GDP causes a decrease in the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes an increase in the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes an increase in the money demand curve.
Explanation:
A demand curve is a graphical representation of the demand for money. Highlighting the demand for money in relation to price.
If real GDP increases, it will increase the need to have money to purchase goods, as there is already an increase in goods produced or available in the market. The need to have more money to purchase the more goods available in the market will drop once real GDP drops.
When the quantity of money demanded increases, it affects the price as well, as price increases, causing an increase in the demand curve. Talking about interest rates, a decrease in the interest rate will lead to an increase in the quantity of money demanded which will lead to an increase in the money demand curve.
The aggregate price level measures the entire prices in the economy. It gives a quick view of how the market pricing system is.
When the price level is high, an individual will have to spend more meaning there will be an increase in the demand for money to purchase the desired goods leading to a direct increase in the money demand curve.
A decrease in real GDP causes a leftward shift in the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes a rightward shift in the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes a rightward shift in the money demand curve.
What is the money demand curve?The money demand curve illustrates the demand for money at a given interest rate. It is a downward-sloping curve that means there is an inverse relationship between demand for money and the interest rate.
The shift in money demand curve:
The money demand curve shifts to the right as the demand for money increases and it shifts to the left as demand decreases.
The demand for money will increase due to a rise in real GDP, a fall in interest rate, an increase in the price level, a change in expectations, and similar reasons.
The demand for money will decrease due to inverse change in the above factors.
Therefore, the answers to the blanks are:
leftward shift,
rightward shift, and
rightward shift.

Answer:
Variable Expense - Cost driver
Machine setup cost - Number of Setups
Machine running cost - Machine hours used
Ordering Cost - No of orders placed
Labor Cost - Labor hours worked
Raw Material - Material usage rate
Transportation Cost - No of Orders delivered.
Explanation:
An organizational structure in one in which certain activities are aligned to achieve the ultimate goal of the organization. Similar types of set of machines together to get particular output product. The cost drivers in organizational structure can influence the output of a company.To determine the product cost per unit using the absorption costing we find the per unit rate for Variable Overheads for the activity by diving the total variable cost by its cost driver.
George bought the following amounts of Stock A over the years: (Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.) Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 Stock A 5/22/2008 850 30,600 On October 12, 2019, he sold 1,350 of his shares of Stock A for $38 per share. a. How much gain/loss will George have to recognize if he uses the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold
Answer:
George
Using the FIFO method of accounting for the shares sold, the gain to be recognized is $20,400.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Date Purchased Number of Shares Adjusted Basis Cost/unt
Stock A 11/21/1993 1,100 $ 26,400 $24
Stock A 3/18/1999 550 9,900 $18
Stock A 5/22/2008 850 30,600 $36
On October 12, 2019, he sold 1,350, $38 per share
Stock A remaining 1,150
Stock A:
Cost of sales = 1,100 x $24 = $26,400
plus 250 x $18 = $4,500
Total cost of sales $30,900
Sales revenue 1,350 x $38 = $51,300
Gain on sale $20,400
b) The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is an inventory method of recognizing the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory based on the assumption that the items that were first brought into inventory are the the ones to be sold. With this method, the cost of sales will be determined by the earlier purchases of inventory while the cost of ending inventory will be calculated based on the later purchases of inventory. Other methods in use in inventory costing are the Last-In, First-Out, the Weighted-Average, and Specific Identification Methods.
Based on predicted production of 28,000 units, a company anticipates $574,000 of fixed costs and $511,000 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 26,000 units are
Answer:
$574,000 fixed costs and $474,500 variable cost
Explanation:
According to the predicted production of 28,000 units, a company has a fixed cost of $574,000
The variable costs is $511,000
Therefore the flexible budget amount for the fixed and variable costs when 26,000 units are produced can be calculated as follows
The fixed costs still remains constant at $574,000
Variable cost = 511,000/28,000×26,000
= 18.25×26,000
= $474,500
Hence the fixed cost is $574,000 and the variable cost is $474,500

Explanation:
Carver Packing Company reports total contribution margin of $80,200 an pretax net income of $40,100 for the current month. In the next month, the company expects sales volume to increase by 10%. The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, respectively, are:
Answer:
• Degree of operating leverage = $2
• Expected Percent change in income = 20%
Explanation:
Details provided from the question includes ;
Total contribution margin = $80,200
Pretax net income = $40,100
Expected increase in sales value = 10%
Therefore;
Degree of operating leverage
= Contribution margin ÷ Net operating income
= $80,200 ÷ $40,100
= $2
Percent change income
= Percentage increase in sales × Degree of operating leverage
= 10% × 2
= 20%
Cost Flow Relationships
The following information is available for the first year of operations of Creston Inc., a manufacturer of fabricating equipment:
Sales $12,375,000
Gross profit 5,200,000
Indirect labor 410,000
Indirect materials 180,000
Other factory overhead 810,000
Materials purchased 4,125,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 7,880,000
Materials inventory, end of period 290,000
Using this information, determine the following amounts:
a. Cost of goods sold $
b. Direct materials cost $
c. Direct labor cost $
Answer:
(A) Cost of goods sold=$7,175,000
(B) Direct material cost= $3,655,000
(C) Direct labor cost= $2,825,000
Explanation:
(A) The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows
Cost of goods sold= Sales-gross profit
Sales= $12,375,000
Gross profit= $5,200,000
Cost of goods sold= $12,375,000-$5,200,000
= $7,175,000
(B) The direct materials cost can be calculated as follows
Direct cost of materials= materials purchased-indirect materials-materials inventory
Materials purchased= 4,125,000
Indirect materials= 180,000
Materials inventory= 290,000
Direct materials cost= 4,125,000-180,000-290,000
= $3,655,000
(C) The direct labor costs can be calculated as follows
Direct labor costs= Total manufacturing cost for the specified period-direct materials-factory overhead
Total manufacturing costs= 7,880,000
Direct materials= 3,655,000
Factory overhead= indirect labor+indirect materials+other factory overhead
= 410,000+180,000+810,000
= 1,400,000
Direct labor costs= 7,880,000-3,655,000-1,400,000
= $2,825,000
A suplier who requires payment with in 10 days, should be most concerned with which one of the following ratios when granting credit?
a. Current Cash
b. Debt-equity
c. Quick
Answer: E) Cash
Explanation:
The Supplier should be most concerned with the Cash Ratio when granting credit. The Cash Ratio measures the amount of Cash in addition to the amount of Cash equivalent assets that the company has against it's current Liabilities in other to see if the company can be able to pay off it's Current Liabilities with it's current Cash and Cash Equivalents.
The Supplier will therefore be concerned with this ratio to see if the company is indeed able to pay back within 10 days before they can be able to grant credit.
Massena Corporation reported the following data for the month of February:
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Raw materials (Direct and Indirect) $40000 $24000
Work in process $23000 $17000
Finished goods $50000 $72000
Additional information:
Raw materials purchases $63000
Direct labor cost $73700
Manufacturing overhead $55000
cost actually incurred
Raw materials included in
manufacturing overhead costs
incurred as indirect materials $5000
Manufacturing overhead cost
applied to Work in Process $48000
The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:____
$=
Answer:
$186,700
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-
Before that we need to do the following calculations
Raw material consumed = Beginning raw material + Raw material purchases - Ending raw materials - Raw materials included in manufacturing overhead costs as indirect materials
= $40,000 + $63,000 - $24,000 - $5,000
= $74,000
Total manufacturing cost = Beginning work in progress + Raw material consumed + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost - Ending work in progress
= $23,000 + $74,000 + $73,700 + $48,000 - $17,000
= $201,700
Unadjusted Cost of goods sold = Raw materials + Total manufacturing cost - Ending finished goods
= $50,000 + $201,700 - $72,000
= $179,700
Adjusted COGS = Unadjusted Cost of goods sold + Underapplied overhead
= $179,700 + ($55,000 - $48,000)
= $179,700 + $7,000
= $186,700
When conducting a hypothesis test, we ______and then evaluate the test results to determine if there is enough evidence to _________.
Answer: A. Assume that the null hypothesis is true; reject the null hypothesis
Explanation:
The Null Hypothesis in a research is the theory that there is no change between variables or subject that the research wishes to study. This theory is always assumed to be true before the research is conducted.
After the data and test results are analysed, depending on the evidence, the Null Hypothesis is either Rejected or Not Rejected. To reject the Null Hypothesis, the evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt.
A plant asset is acquired by a business on January 2, 20X6, for $10,000. The asset's estimated residual value is $2,000 and it's estimated useful life is 5 years. Management chooses to use straight-line depreciation. On January 2. 20X8. the asset is sold for $5,000. The entry to record the sale has what effect on the financial statements? a. Assets decrease, expenses increase, and net income and owners' equity decrease. b. Assets decrease and owners' equity and expenses both increase. c. Has no effect on the financial statements if the journal entry is in balance. d. Assets increase, expenses decrease, and net income and owners' equity increase.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
From the calculation below, it is clearly seen that Assets are being decreased and expenses are increased therefore Option A is correct.
Workings
Depreciation expense = (cost - residual value) / useful life
Depreciation expense = 10,000 - 2,000 / 5
Depreciation expense = $1600
Accumulated depreication = depreciation x 2 years -= $3,200
Carrying value = 10,000 - 3,200
Carrying value = $6,800
Disposal = $5,000
Loss on disposal = $1,800

Starset Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $425,000 is estimated to result in $169,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the 5-year MACRS class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $69,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $28,000, along with an additional $3,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent.
1. Calculate the NPV of this project.
2. Should the company buy and install the machine press?
A. No.
B. Yes.
Answer:
96,287
Explanation:
Cost of Machine $425,000
5 years MACRS rate is
Year 1 - 425,000 * 20% = 85,000
Year 2 - 425,000 * 32% = 136,000
Year 3 - 425,000 * 19.20% = 81,600
Year 4 - 425,000 * 11.52% = 48,960
Total depreciation in 4 years = 351,560
New Book Value of asset = 73,440
Salvage value at the end of 4 years = 69,000
Gain on disposal = 4,440
The NPV can be calculated based on tax savings
169000 for 4 years using annuity at 23% rate.
The NPV of the project is;
-425,000 + 251,787 + 169,000 +3,500 + 28,000 + 69000
Net Present Value = 96,287
A 4-year project has an annual operating cash flow of $54,000. At the beginning of the project, $4,500 in net working capital was required, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm also spent $22,900 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $4,860 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $5,820. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow
Answer:
$64,704
Explanation:
Year 4 cash flow = operating cash flow + non operating cash flow
non operating cash flow = salvage value + net working capital - tax(Salvage value - book value)
$5,820 + $4,500 - 0.4($5,820 - $4,860) = $10,704
$10,704 + $54,000 = $64,704
Harvey develops gaming apps from home instead of working as an engineer and earning $50,000 a year. He has invested $20,000 to upgrade to the hardware that he needs and estimates his expenses at $17,000 a year. Downloads generated $130,000 in revenue during the first year. What is his economic profit
Answer:
Economic profit =$43,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit is the difference between revenue from from production or service activities and the expenditures incurred.
On the other hand, economic profit includes accounting profit plus opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is the value of the benefits sacrificed in favour of a decision.
For example, the salary of $50,000 forfeited by Harvey in favor of his decision to become an entrepreneur is an example of opportunity cost
Economic profit = Accounting profit- opportunity cost
Accounting profit = Revenue - cost
Accounting profit = 130,000 - (20,000 + 17,000) = 93,000
Economic profit = 93,000 - 50,000 =$43000
Economic profit =$43,000
The common stock of Auto Deliveries currently sells for $28.99 a share. The stock is expected to pay an annual dividend of $1.34 per share next year. The firm has established a pattern of increasing its dividends by 4 percent annually and expects to continue doing so. The estimated market rate of return on this stock is _______ percent.
Answer:
8.62%
Explanation:
The common stock of Auto deliveries currently sells for $28.99 per share
The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.34
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
Therefore, the market rate of return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Market rate= dividend/stock price + growth rate
= $1.34/$28.99 + 0.04
= 0.04622+0.04
= 0.0862×100
= 8.62%
Hence the estimated market rate of return on the stock is 8.62%

calculate the operating cash flow in Year 1. All numbers are incremental. Sales $42,500 Depreciation $10,000 Other Operating Costs $17,000 Interest Expense $4,000 Tax rate 21%
Answer:
$20,075
Explanation:
Operating income of year 1 = Sales revenue in year 1 - Depreciation - Other operating costs
= 42,500 - 10,000 - 17,000
=15,500
The tax rate is 35%. Tax amount in year 1 = Tax rate * Operating income in year 1
=0.35 * 15,500
=$5,425
Year 1 Cash flow = Sales revenue in year 1 - Other operating costs - Tax amount
=42,500 - 17,000 - 5,425
=$20,075
Therefore, $20,075 is the Year 1 Cash flow

1. Suppose that nominal GDP was $11 trillion in 2040 in Bedrock. In 2050, nominal GDP was $15 trillion in Bedrock. The price level fell 6% between 2040 and 2050, and population growth was 3%. Between 2040 and 2050 in Mordor, nominal GDP growth was______% and economic growth was______%.
2. Suppose that nominal GDP was $20 trillion in 2040 in Mordor. In 2050, nominal GDP was $18 trillion in Mordor. The price level rose 3% between 2040 and 2050, and population growth was 2%. Between 2040 and 2050 in Mordor, nominal GDP growth was______% and economic growth was_______%.
3. Suppose that nominal GDP was $8 trillion in 2040 in Mordor. In 2050, nominal GDP was $10 trillion in Mordor. The price level rose 18.0% between 2040 and 2050, and population growth was 13.0%. Between 2040 and 2050 in Mordor, nominal GDP growth was______% and economic growth was______%.
1. The nominal GDP growth and economic growths are 36.4% and 39.4%.
2. The nominal GDP growth and economic growths are -10% and -15%.
3. The nominal GDP growth and economic growths are 25% and -6%.
Calculation of normal GDP growth & economic growth:1.
Nominal GDP growth is
= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)
= ($15 trillion - $11 trillion) × 100 ÷ $11 trilion
= 36.4 %
Now
Economic growth is
= Nominal GDP growth rate - fall in price level - population growth rate
= 36.4% - (-6%) - 3%
= 39.4%
2.
Nominal GDP growth is
= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)
= ($18 trillion - $20 trillion) × 100 ÷ $20 trilion
= -10%
Now
Economic growth is
= Nominal GDP growth rate - rise in price level - population growth rate
= -10% - 3% - 2%
= -15%
3.
Nominal GDP growth is
= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)
= ($10 trillion - $8 trillion) × 100 ÷ $8 trilion
= 25%
Now
Economic growth is
= Nominal GDP growth rate - rise in price level - population growth rate
= 25% - 18% - 13%
= -6%

Answer:
lump sum = $111,576.54
Explanation:
we can use the future value formula:
future value = principal x (1 + i)ⁿ
future value = $500,000i = 5% / 365 = 0.000136986n = 30 x 365 = 10,950principal = future value / (1 + i)ⁿ
principal = $500,000 / (1 + 0.000136986)¹⁰⁹⁵⁰ = $500,000 / 4.481228688 = $111,576.54
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $50.15 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 3.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.80 in one year. What is the total return on this stock?
Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the total return on the stock.
From the question, Price = $50.15
Mathematically;
P = D1/Ke-g
D1 = $3.80
g = 3.60%
So let’s calculate Ke-g
50.15 = 3.8/ke-g
Ke-g = 3.8/50.15
Ke-g = 7.6%
but g = 3.6%
Total return Ke = 3.6% + g = 3.6% + 7.6% = 11.2%
