Riverbed Corp bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $460000 and had an expected salvage value of $65000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be $395000. $158000. $302000. $460000.
Answer:
Book value= $302,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $460,000
Salvage value= $65,000
Useful life= 5 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (460,000 - 65,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $79,000
Now, the accumulated depreciation after 2 full years:
Accumulated depreciation= 79,000*2= $158,000
Finally, the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 460,000 - 158,000
Book value= $302,000
On December 1, delivery equipment was purchased for $6,144. The delivery equipment has an estimated useful life of four years (48 months) and no salvage value. Using the straight-line depreciation method, analyze the necessary adjusting entry as of December 31 (one month) using T accounts, and then formally enter this adjustment in the general journal.
Answer and Explanation:
The presentation is shown below;
Depreciation expense
Adjustment $128 ($6,144 ÷ 48 months)
Accumulated depreciation
Adjustment $128
The journal entry is
Depreciation expense $128
To Accumulated depreciation $128
(Being depreciation expense is recorded)
Here the depreciation expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the asset
Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $52,000 with a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average inv
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
Average investment = (Initial investment + Salvage value) / 2
Average investment = ($52,000 + $0) / 2
Average investment = $52,000 / 2
Average investment = $26,000
So, Carmel's average investment is $26,000.
The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?
Hotel California Hotel California is a luxury hotel which has just got a new manager, Rocky. Given its location and quality, the hotel always had enough people making advance reservations to fill up all the rooms available. The hotel charges $200 per room per night for reservations made in advance (Hint:think of this $200 as the purchasing cost in the Newsvendor model). Rocky had taken the OPRE3310 at UTD last semester and decided to implement some of those techniques in his current job. He implemented a policy of reserving some rooms for last-minute requests and charges these requests S300 per room per night (Hint: think of this $300 as the selling price in the Newsvendor model) The unsold reserved rooms are worth nothing at the end of the day (Hint: that is the salvage value is $0). Based on his estimation, the number of last minute customers is uniformly distributed with minimum of 1 and maximum of 10
a) How much is the cost of reserving too little by one? That is the underage cost, Cu
b) How much is the cost of reserving too much by one? That is the overage cost, Co
c) What is the optimal service level?
d) How many rooms should be reserved for last-minute customers? Hint: what is Q"?
Answer:
Hotel California
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co =
= $200
c) The optimal service level
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= 3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Charges per room per night (purchase cost) = $200
Charges for last-minute requests per room per night (selling price) - $300
Value of unsold reserved rooms (Salvage value) = $0
Minimum of last-minute customers, Min = 1
Maximum of last-minute customers, Max = 10
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu = Selling price - Purchasing cost
= $300 - $200
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co = Purchasing cost - Salvage value
= $200 - $0
= $200
c) The optimal service level = Cu/Co+Cu
= $100/$200 + $100
= $100/$300
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= Cu/Co+Cu (Max - Min) + Min
= 0.33 * (10 - 1) + 1
= 0.33 * (10)
= 3
7. Which of the following is NOT a function of money * 3 points A Unit of account B Store of value C Protection against inflation D Medium of exchange
Answer:
C Protection against inflation
Explanation:
As we know that there are three functions of money i.e.
1. Unit of account
2. Store of value
3. Medium of exchange
There is only 3 functions of money that are shown above
So the protection against inflation would not be considered for the same
And, these 3 would represent the functions of money and can be treated as the unit of account, store of value and the medium of exchange
Hence, the option c is correct

Aardvark Enterprises has agreed to be acquired by Lawson Products in exchange for $16,000 worth of Lawson Products stock. Lawson has 1,100 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $15 a share. Aardvark has 1,700 shares outstanding with a market value of $21 a share. The incremental value of the acquisition is $3,800. What is the value of Lawson Products after the merger? $51,520 $41,440 $56,000 $49,280 $44,800
Answer: $56000
Explanation:
The value of Lawson Products after the merger will be calculated thus:
Number of shares = 1100
Price of share = $15
Value of Lawson share = $16500
Number of shares = 1700
Price of share = $21
Value of Aardvark share = $35700
Market value of both firms will be:
= $16500 + $35700
= $52200
We then less incremental earnings from the market value and this will be:
= $52200 + $3800
= $56000
Therefore, the value of Lawson Products after the merger is $56000

The market price of common averaged $11 per share during the quarter ending on March 31, 2016. There was no change in the 150,000 shares of outstanding common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Net income for the quarter was $8,618. The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is (Round your final answer to whole number.): -
a. 171,500.
b. 150,000.
c. 151,955.
d. 169,545.
Answer:
c. 151,955
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is
First step is to calculate the amount assumed to be exercised
Exercised amount= 21,500*$10 / $11 avg
Exercised amount=$l215,000/11 avg
Exercised amount= 19,545
Second step is to calculate the Net
Net=21,500-19,545
Net= 1,955
Now let calculate The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share
Using this formula
Number of shares=Outstanding+Net
Let plug in the formula
Number of shares=150,000 +1,955
Number of shares= 151,955
*diluted eps=$8,618 /151,955
Therefore The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is: 151,955

Riverboat Adventures pays $170,000 plus $14,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,000, a building appraised at $79,200, and paddleboats appraised at $118,800. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building. Multiple Choice $66,240. $61,200. $79,200.
Answer:
Total cost allocated to building = $66,240
Explanation:
Given:
Total amount pay = $170,000 + $14,000 = $184,000
Land appraised amount = $22,000
Building appraised amount = $79,200
Paddleboats appraised price = $118,800
Find:
Total cost allocated to building
Computation:
Total appraisal price = Land appraised amount + Building appraised amount + Paddleboats appraised price
Total appraisal price = $22,000 + $79,200 + 118,800
Total appraisal price = $220,000
Total cost allocated to building = [Total amount pay / Total appraisal price]Building appraised amount
Total cost allocated to building = [184,000/220,000]79,200
Total cost allocated to building = $66,240
Four Seasons Industries has established direct labor performance standards for its maintenance and repair shop. However, some of the labor records were destroyed during a recent fire. The actual hours worked during August were 2,250, and the total direct labor budget variance was $1,170 unfavorable. The standard labor rate was $14.40 per hour, but recent resignations allowed the firm to hire lower-paid replacement workers for some jobs, and this produced a favorable rate variance of $3,150 for August.
Required
a. Calculate the actual direct labor rate paid per hour during August. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) ual direct labor rate per hour
b. Calculate the dollar amount of the direct labor efficiency variance for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). t labor efficiency
c. Calculate the standard direct labor hours allowed for the actual level of activity during August. (Hint: Use the formula for the efficiency variance and solve for the missing information.) Standard direct labor hours
Answer:
a. Actual labor Rate:
(AR-SR)*Actual hours = Labor rate variance
Labor rate variance/Actual hours = AR-SR
AR = (Labor rate variance/Actual hours) + SR
Actual rate= (-3,150/2,250) + 14.4
Actual rate = -1.4 + 14.4
Actual rate = 13 per hour
Note: Labor rate variance is -3,150, Standard rate is 14.4 per hour and Actual hours is 2,250.
b. Direct labour efficiency variance = Total direct labour budget variance - Direct labour rate variance
Direct labour efficiency variance = $1,170 - (-$3,150)
Direct labour efficiency variance = $4,320 Unfavourable
c. Direct Labour efficiency variance = (AH-SH)*SR
4,320 = (2,250 - SH)*14.4
2,250 - Standard hours = 4,320/14.4
2,250 - Standard hours = 300
Standard hours = 2,250 - 300
Standard hours = 1,950
Describe the purpose of the balance sheet and understand its usefulness and limitations
Answer:
The description of the given question is described in the segment below.
Explanation:
Purpose of the balance sheet:
The objective of something like the balance sheet as well as accounting records would be to disclose a company's financial situation across a certain date.Usefulness and limitation:
Everything just provides a picture somewhere after some kind of organization's financial statement of its investments, future or taxation liabilities as well as equities.Although the Fed has very strong influence over the money supply, it does not have complete control a.Because the Fed has no idea how much reserves will change when it buys or sells securities. b.Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend. c.Because of unpredictable changes in reserve requirements. d.Because the FOMC meets only twice a year.
Answer: b. Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend.
Explanation:
The Fed is able to embark on monetary policy that influences the entire country - and the world to some extent - because they have very strong influence over the money supply of the US$.
This influence is not absolute however because as the old adage goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". In other words, the Fed can relax(impose) restrictions to make money more(less) available but they cannot force people to borrow(hold) that money.
They can't force banks either to either hold reserves or lend money out because banks are free to impose their own reserve limits on top of those of the Fed.

Answer:
using both industry attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating resources and investment capital to a corporation's different businesses.
Explanation:
A nine-cell matrix can be defined as a strategic framework that provides a systematic approach used multi-business corporations to set priority on their investments among the different business units. Thus, it offers strategic implications of an investment by evaluating business portfolios, which are mainly based on business strength and market attractiveness.
Furthermore, the nine-cell industry attractiveness competitive strength matrix is a strategic framework adopted by individuals or managers in order to assist them in deciding which businesses should have low, average, and high priorities in deploying corporate resources.
Hence, the nine-cell attractiveness-strength matrix provides clear, strong logic for using both industry (market) attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating corporate resources and investment capital to the different businesses owned by a corporation.
Cal Poly Corporation would like to start a new project: building a high-tech rose float for the next regional contest. This rose float project will require $35,000 in the initial cost. The company is planning to raise this amount of money by selling new corporate bonds and new stocks. It has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, and 40 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock is 7%, and for new debt it is 4%.
(a) The true required initial investment that Cal Poly Corporation should use in its valuation of the rose is:_____.
1. $36,920.
2. $36,820.
3. $35,000.
4. $33,180.
(b) The lower the flotation costs, the lower the initial investment that needs to be used in project valuation, and so the lower the project's Net Present Value. This statement is____.
1. True
2. False
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
Given that
Weight of Equity = 0.4
Weight of Debt = 0.6
The Flotation cost of Capital = Weight of Equity × Flotation cost of Equity + Weight of Debt × Flotation cost of Debt
= 7 × 0.4 + 4 × 0.6
= 5.2
Now
True cost is
= initial investment ÷ (1 - flotation cost %)
= $35,000 ÷ (1 - 0.052)
= $36,920
b
In the case when there is a less flotation cost so it would decreased the initial investment due to this there would be an increase in net present value
hence, the given statement is false

In order to close the sale, DeGraw agreed to make the bill payable in yen, thus agreeing to take some exchange rate risk for the transaction. The terms were net 6 months. If the yen fell against the dollar such that one dollar would buy 154.4 yen when the invoice was paid, what dollar amount would DeGraw actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars
Answer:
DeGraw Corporation
The dollar amount that DeGraw would actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars is:
= $845,207
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Japanese Yen U.S. Dollar
Price Price
Sale of a solar heating station 130.5 million $932,143.86 (130.5m/140 yen)
Payment in 6 months' time 130.5 million $845,207.25 (130.5m/154.4 yen)
b) When the yen fell against the dollar from 140 yen to 154.4 yen, the dollar amount that DeGraw would receive reduced from $932,143 to $845,207.25. This is a loss of $86,935.61 due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Kent Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $120.00. Fixed costs are $179,400 and variable costs are $36.00 per unit. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $12,480 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $9.60 per unit. Compute the revised break-even point in dollars with the purchase of the new machine.
Answer:
$246,000
Explanation:
Break even point is computed as
= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
With the purchase of a new production machine, total fixed costs would increase by $12,480.
New total fixed costs = $179,400 + $12,480 = $191,880
New Contribution margin = Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= [$120 - ($36 - $9.6)]
= $120 - $26.4
= $93.6
New break even point in unit of output = $191,880 ÷ $93.6
= 2,050 units
Therefore,
New break even (dollars) = 2,050 × $120 = $246,000
Buffalo BBQ Restaurant is trying to become more efficient in training its chefs. It is experimenting with two training programs aimed at this objective. Both programs have basic and advanced training modules. The restaurant has provided the following data regarding the two programs after two weeks of implementation:
Training Program A Training Program B
New chef # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Hours of basic training 22 24 28 21 23 25 24 29 31 28
Hours of advanced training 8 7 8 10 11 4 3 0 1 2
Number of chef mistakes 12 13 15 14 14 7 6 8 5 6
a. Compute the following performance metrics for each program:
(1) Average hours of employee training per chef, rounded to one decimal place.
(2) Average number of mistakes per chef, rounded to one decimal place.
b. Which program should the restaurant implement moving forward?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
(1) Average hours of employee training per chef.
Program A:
Hours of basic training = 22 + 24 + 28 + 21 + 23 = 118
Hours of advanced training = 8 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 11 = 44
Total hours of training = 118 + 44 = 162
Number of chefs in A = 5
Average hours of employee training per chef in A = 162/5 = 32.4
Average hours of employee training per chef for Program B
Hours of basic training = 25 + 24 + 29 + 31 + 28 = 137
Hours of advanced training = 4 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 10
Total hours of training = 137 + 10 = 147
Number of chefs in B = 5
Average hours of employee training per chef in B = 147/5 = 29.4
(2) Average number of mistakes per chef for Program A:
Number of chefs mistake = 12 + 13 + 15 + 14 + 14 = 68
Number of chefs = 5
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program A: = 68/5 = 13.6
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program B
Number of chefs mistake = 7 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 6 = 32
Number of chefs = 5
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program B: = 32/5 = 6.4
b. Which program should the restaurant implement moving forward?
The restaurant should Implement program B because less training is required and less mistakes are made.
The management of Lanzilotta Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $191,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $108,000, which includes depreciation of $21,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $26,200. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to :___________
Answer:
1 year 5 month
Explanation:
The Project Cash flow Summary is as follows :
Year 0 = -$191,000
Year 1 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 2 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 3 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 4 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 5 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 6 = $108,000 + $21,000 + $26,200 = $155,200
Payback Period is the term used to determine how long the future cash flows would equal the amount invested.
$191,000 = $129,000 + 62,000/ $129,000 x 12
The future cash flows will equal $191,000 in 1 year 5 months.
Assume that Solo Company commenced operations on January 1, 2006, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 15 years, but in December 2006 management realized that the assets would last for only 10 years. Solo's accountants plan to report the 2006 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: c. The firm's cash position in 2006 and 2007 would increase.
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is heavily dependent on the useful life of the asset. The longer the useful life, the smaller the depreciation expense because the equipment is being depreciated over a longer period.
If the useful life is reduced from 15 to 10 years therefore, the depreciation expense would increase.
The Cash position of a company is calculated by adding back the depreciation to the Net income after taxes are paid because depreciation is not a cash expense.
If the depreciation is now larger (which it is) and is added back to the Net income, the cash position will therefore increase.
