A bank loan officer has been approached by a start-up company that needs a five-year loan to purchase the equipment for its first project. The project will have a life of five years. At the end of five years, the equipment will be worthless. The founders of the company told the loan officer that they would be willing to pay a much higher interest rate on a simple interest loan rather than contracting to an add-on interest loan.
A. The loan officer should offer the company an add-on interest loan because there is a high risk that the company will not be able to repay the principal on the loan at the end of the project's life.
B. The loan officer should offer the company a simple interest loan. The bank will make more money in the long run, because it can charge a much higher interest rate.

Answers

Answer:

Skysong Itzek

Standard Cost Per Gallon = $8.36

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Requirements for the production of a 50-gallon batch:

Materials                                         Quantity       Price               Total costs

Ounces of grape concentrate         3,800      $0.07/ounce           $266.00

Pounds of granulated sugar                 54      $0.45/pound               24.30

Lemons                                                  60      $0.70 each                  42.00

Tablets of yeast                                   150       $0.28 each                 42.00

Tablets of nutrient                              200       $0.17 each                  34.00

Ounces of water                              1,900        $0.005/ounce             9.50

Total costs                                                                                         $417.80

Standard cost per unit  = Total material costs/Batch Quantity

= $417.80/50 = $8.36

b) Since the estimated wastages of grape concentrate, sugar, and lemons are of no further use, the full costs of the direct materials are used in determining the standard cost.  The standard cost is, therefore, equal to the total material costs divided by the batch quantity.

2. (E) Cooking:$34,300 Churning: $39,200 Freezing:$24,500

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For administrative cost allocated to each operating department is

Cooking

= $560,000 × 2,940 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)

= $168,000

Churning

= $560,000 × 4,900 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)

= $280,000

Freezing

= $560,000 × 1,960 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)

= $112,000

b. For maintenance cost allocated to each operating department is

Cooking

= $98,000 × 33,250 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)

= $34,300

Churning

= $98,000 × 38,000 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)

= $39,200

And, for freezing

= $98,000 × 23,750 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)

= $24,500

Answer:

the answer is government

Suppose a hypothetical economy is currently in a recessionary gap of $64 billion. Four economists agree that expansionary fiscal policy can increase total spending and move the economy out of recession, but they are debating which type of expansionary policy should be used.

Economist A believes that the government spending multiplier is 8 and the tax multiplier is 2. Economist B believes that the government spending multiplier is 4 and the tax multiplier is 8.

Required:
Compute the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief.

Answers

Answer:

a. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = $8 billion

b. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = $16 billion

Explanation:

a. Economist A

Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 8, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 8 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:

Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist A = $64 billion / 8 = $8 billion

b. Economist B

Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 4, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 4 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:

Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist B = $64 billion / 4 = $16 billion

Wildhorse Company purchased 300 of the 1000 outstanding shares of Ayayai Company's common stock for $570000 on January 2, 2021. During 2021, Ayayai Company declared dividends of $85000 and reported earnings for the year of $370000. If Wildhorse Company used the fair value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company, its Equity Investments (Ayayai) account on December 31, 2021 should be

Answers

Answer:

$664,000

Explanation:

Correct words: "If Wildhorse Company used the Equity value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company"

Ownership percentage = 300/1000

Ownership percentage = 30%

Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + Share in earnings ($370,000*30%) - Share in dividends paid out ($85000*20%)

Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + $111,000 - $17,000

Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $664,000

So, the Equity Investments balance for Ayayai company on December 31, 2021 is $664,000.

High Air reported a $15,000 loss for its 2020 calendar year. How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation

Answers

Answer:

$4,000;$3,500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation

Calculation for How much loss can Gerald deduct

Gerald's loss Deduction = [$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + (50% × $2,000)]

Gerald's loss Deduction =[$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + $1,000]

Gerald's loss Deduction=$4,000

Calculation for how much loss must he suspend

Loss to Suspend=(50%*$15,000)-$4,000

Loss to Suspend=$7,500-$4,000

Loss to Suspend=$3,500

Therefore the amount of loss that Gerald can deduct is $4,000 and the amount of loss that he must suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $3,500

Explanation:

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2021. The inventory as reported at the end of 2020 using LIFO would have been $53,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2020 was reported as $710,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 35%.

Required:
a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2009) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2009 to record the change in principle.

Answers

Answer:

a. The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.

b. Debit Inventory for $53,000; Credit Income tax payable for $18,550; and Credit Retained earnings for $34,450.

Explanation:

Note: There is an error in the date stated in the requirements of the question as they are different from the date in the body of the question. The requirements are therefore restated with the correct date before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.

b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.

The effect of LIFO is to overstate the cost of goods sold and understated the retained earnings.

The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years can therefore be determined as follows:

Inventory understatement net of tax = $53,000 * (100% - Tax rate) = $53,000 * (100% - 35%) = $34,450

Therefore, we have:

Retained earnings under FIFO = Retained earnings as reported + Inventory understatement net of tax = $710,000 + $34,450 = $744,450

Therefore, the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.

b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.

The journal entry will look as follows:

Details                                                       Debit ($)        Credit ($)    

Inventory                                                    53,000

Income tax payable (53,000 * 35%)                                18,550

Retained earnings                                                            34,450

(To record the change in principle.)

The model of competitive market relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers-a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product--buyers must regard all seller's products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing for free entry into and ext from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessarily for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannon maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

a. this is not a perfect competition because the sweatshirts are not homogenous. they differ in quality and style

b. this is not a perfect competition because there are not plenty firms. this is more of a duopoly

c. this is a perfect competition. there are many tutoring services with homogenous products

d. the company is a monopoly. there is no free entry into the industry as a result of the government permit

Last year, Pastis Productions reported $100,000 in sales and $40,000 in cost of goods sold. The company estimates it would have doubled its sales and cost of goods sold had it allowed customers to buy on credit, but it also would have incurred $50,000 in additional expenses relating to wages, bad debts, and interest. Using these estimates, calculate the amount by which Income from Operations would increase (decrease).

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

The computation of the increase or decrease of income from operations is shown below

Without Credit

Income from Operations is

= $100,000 - $40,000

= $60,000

And,

With Credit

Income from Operations is

= 2 × ($100,000 - $40,000) -$50,000

= $70,000

So, there is Increase in Income from Operations i.e.

= $70,000 - $60,000

Answers

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $0.5

Explanation:

To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (5,420 - 2,925) / (8,870 - 3,880)

Variable cost per unit= $0.5

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 5,420 - (0.5*8,870)

Fixed costs= $985

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,925 - (0.5*3,880)

Fixed costs= $985

1. A manufacturer of industrial motors has identified ten new prospective customers for its products and estimated each customer's annual sales potential as follows:

In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission allowed Exxon and Mobil to merge. At the time, Exxon and Mobil were the top two firms in their industry, and their merger created the largest corporation in the world. To allow the merger, Exxon and Mobil agreed to sell 2,431 gas stations. Of these, 1,740 were in the mid-Atlantic states, 360 were in California, 319 were in Texas, and 12 were in Guam.

Why would the U.S. government require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur?

a. Because these geographic regions had too many gas stations.
b. To protect consumers from inappropriate price decreases.
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
d. To ensure that Exxon-Mobil would earn fair profits in these geographic areas.

Answers

Answer:

1999 Merger of Exxon and Mobil

The reason that made the U.S. government to require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur is:

c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.

Explanation:

The agreement to sell so many gas stations in localized parts of the country was to forestall antitrust lawsuits.  It was also made to protect consumers from unwarranted price increases, allowing more competition in the affected areas, where ExxonMobil owed too many gas stations.

The reason why the US would require these two companies to divest themselves is because to ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.

The answer to this question is option c. Sometimes when two companies merge into one, they could become too powerful. When this is the case, they may end up driving out all their competitors from the market.

At this point, a monopoly may arise from the companies. When a monopoly arises, they would be able to set the price to any amount that they want. This divest option by the government was to ensure the protection of consumers from a situation of price hikes.

Two methods can be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $65,000 initially and will have a $18,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $28,000 in year 1, increasing by $3600 each year. Method B will have a first cost of $108,000, an operating cost of $8000 in year 1, increasing by $8000 each year, and a $38,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis

Answers

Answer:

Method B should be used

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of Method A and Method B.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Present worth of Method A = –$210,889.85

Present worth of Method B = –$118,011.18

Since the present worth of Method A and B above imply Method A costs more than Method B, Method B should be used.

If Susan sells her entire partnership interest to Emma for $120,000 cash, how much capital gain and ordinary income must Susan recognize from the sale

Answers

Answer:

$10,000 capital gain; $20,000 ordinary income

Explanation:

Calculation to determine how much capital gain and ordinary income must Susan recognize from the sale

Calculation for ORDINARY INCOME

Using this formula

Ordinary income=(

Unrealized receivables × Interest)

Let plug in the formula

Ordinary income=($60,000*1/3)

Ordinary income=$20,000

Calculation for CAPITAL GAIN

Using this formula

Capital gain= Total gain -Ordinary income

Let plug in the formula

Capital gain=$30,000-$20,000

capital gain=$10,000

Therefore the capital gain and ordinary income that Susan must recognize from the sale are:

$10,000 capital gain; $20,000 ordinary income

Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.

Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000

Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?

Answers

Answer:

50,000 Square feet

Explanation:

Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.

Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly

= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000

= 50,000

Answers

Answer:

$109

$118.81

18.26%

Explanation:

Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated

growth rate = retention rate x ROE  

Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

0.5 x 18% = 9%

According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%

dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share

0.5 x $20 = $10

Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109

Stock price in a year

[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81

(dividend return + price return)  

price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price  

Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned  

price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year

Answers

Answer:

Missing word: "1. Straight line.  2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"

1. Straight line depreciation

Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)

Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10

Annual Depreciation = $14,300

Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year

2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12

Depreciation Expenses = $3575

2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12

Depreciation Expenses = $14,300

2. Double-declining balance

Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year

2021: Depreciation Expense  = $148000 * 20% 3/12

Depreciation Expense = $7400

Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation

Book Value = $148000 - $7400

Book Value = $140,600

2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12

Depreciation Expense = $35,520

Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation

Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520

Book Value = $105,080

Answers

Answer:

Loan = $670,000

Interest Rate = 11.4%

Years (Life) = 54 years

1. Loan = Annual installment * (1-(1+i)^-n)/i

$670,000 = Annual installment * (1-(1+11.4%)^-54)/11.4%

$670,000 = Annual installment * 8.74614912

Annual installment = $670,000 /8.74614912

Annual installment = 76605.14257

Annual installment = $76,605

2. Total interest payment = Total installments - Original loan

Total interest payment = $76605.14*54 - $670,000

Total interest payment = $4,136,677.56 - $670,000

Total interest payment = $3,466,677.699

Total interest payment = $3,466,678

3. Capital o/s after 34 payments = 76605.14257 × (1-(1+11.4%)^-20)/11.4%

= $594412.8888

Capital repaid = $670000 - $594412.8888 = $75587.11123

Total interest paid till 34 installments = $76605.14257*34 - $75587.11123 = $2528987.736

Percentage of interest = ($2528987.736/ ($76605.14257*54- $670000)) * 100

Percentage of interest = 0.7295133715

Percentage of interest = 72.95133715%

4. Percentage of principal = (75587.11123/670000)*100

Percentage of principal = 0.1128165839

Percentage of principal = 11.28165839%

Percentage of principal ≈ 11%

What is the markup percentage for the company's product? (Round the answer to two decimal places.)
a 30.30%
b 43.50%
c 40.00%
d 35.60%

Answers

Answer:

b 43.50%

Explanation:

Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Cost

Product Cost = 40,000*($7.00 + $11.00 + $3.00) + $80,000

Product Cost = 40,000*$21 + $80,000

Product Cost = $840,000 + $80,000

Product Cost = $920,000

Markup = Total Selling and Administrative Expenses + Desired Profit

Markup = $2.00*40,000 + $140,000 + $1,200,000*15%

Markup = $80,000 + $140,000 + $180,000

Markup = $400,000

Markup percentage = Markup / Product Cost * 100

Markup percentage = $400,000 / $920,000 * 100

Markup percentage = 0.434783 * 100

Markup percentage = 43.47%

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $250,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $72,115 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000.

b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $39,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1.89 years

B. 2.33 years

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

(A) After-tax income = $72,115

Expected cost = $250,000

Useful life = 4 years

Salvage value = $10,000

Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $250,000 ÷ $132,115

= 1.89 years

(B) After-tax income = $39,000

Machine cost = $200,000

Useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $13,000

Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $200,000 ÷ $85,750

= 2.33 years
