The replacement cost of an inventory item is below the net realizable value and above the net realizable value less the normal profit margin. The original cost of the inventory item is below the net realizable value less the normal profit margin.Under the lower of cost or market method, the inventory item should be valued at:___________
A. Net realizable value.
B. Net realizable value less the normal profit margin.
C. Original cost.
D. Replacement cost.
Answer:
D. Replacement cost.
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory should be recorded at the cost or market value whichever is lower
Given that
Original cost is less than the net realizable value subtract the profit margin
So we assume the following figures
Original cost $10
Net realizable value 9
Replacement cost 8
NRV less normal profit margin 7
As if we compare the original cost and replacement cost so the lower value is of replacement cost
hence, the same is to be considered
Therefore the correct option is D.

Blossom Corp. will pay dividends of $5.00, $6.25, $4.75, and $3.00 in the next four years. Thereafter, management expects the dividend growth rate to be constant at 7 percent. If the required rate of return is 15.50 percent, what is the current value of the stock?
Answer:
Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00
Explanation:
Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the stock, we will use the following formula,
Present value = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n +
[(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
r is the required rate of return g is the constant growth rate in dividends n is the number of years
Present value = 5 / (1+0.155) + 6.25 / (1+0.155)^2 + 4.75 / (1+0.155)^3 +
3 / (1+0.155)^4 + [(3 * (1+0.07) / (0.155 - 0.07)) / (1+0.155)^4]
Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Which of the following is an example of a positive-sum game?A. Working with someone to build a house. B. A war between two countries. C. Racing against someone to get in line at the grocery store before them. D. Buying an apple at a store.
Answer:
working with someone to build a house
Explanation:
Out of all of the options listed the one that is an example of a positive-sum game is working with someone to build a house. This is because you are collaborating with another individual equally and all decisions and actions affect both of you equally. Therefore, if you win/profit you would both be winning/profiting at the same time, the same goes for losses. In such a game you one would not profit without the others profiting as well.

Which is associated with process cost accounting but is not normally associated with job cost accounting?
A. Determining cost of goods sold.
B. Identifiable units of production.
C. Use of Job Cost Sheet.
D. Equivalent units of production.
Answer:
a. 3,200 units
D. Equivalent units of production.
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units transferred to finished goods is as follows:
= Opening work in progress+ Total units started during the year - Closing work in progress
= 220 units + 3,400 units - 420 units
= 3,200 units
The equivalent unit of production deals with the process costing but not with the job costing
In the case of process costing, the work in process should be considered
While on the other hand, the job costing, the production does not held on a continuous basis
If the company follows a strict residual dividend policy and makes distributions in the form of dividends, what is its expected dividend payout ratio for this year?
Answer: 89%
Explanation:
Calculate the dividend pay-out ratio.
Company has a capital structure of 30% which means that 30% of the capital budget of $88 million has to come from retained earnings;
= 30% * 88
= $26.4 million will come from retained earnings
The amount left for dividends will therefore be;
= 240 - 26.4
= $213.6 million
Dividend Payout ratio;
= Dividend / Net income
= 213.6/240
= 89%

Bed Bug Inn has annual sales of $137,000. Earnings before interest and taxes are equal to 5.8 percent of sales. For the period, the firm paid $4,700 in interest. What is the profit margin if the tax rate is 34%?a. â2.43%.b. 1.56%.c. 3.33%.d. â5.29%.e. â6.11%.
Answer:
Net Profit margin = 0.015637 or 1.5637% rounded off to 1.56%
Option b is the correct answer
Explanation:
The profit margin which is also known as the Net Profit margin the amount of net profit after tax expressed as a percentage of the sales revenue. To calculate the net profit margin, we must first calculate the net profit after tax. Net Profit after tax can be calculated as follows,
We know that sales revenue is $137000 and Earnings before Interest and taxes (EBIT) are 5.8% of sales revenue, then the EBIT is:
EBIT = 137000 * 0.058 = $7946
If we deduct the interest expense from EBIT, we will get Net Profit before tax.
Net profit before tax = 7946 - 4700 = $3246
The tax expense is = 3246 * 0.34 = $1103.64
So, Net Profit after tax = 3246 - 1103.64 = $2142.36
Net profit margin = 2142.36 / 137000
Net Profit margin = 0.015637 or 1.5637% rounded off to 1.56%

Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,840 per month plus $12 per frame. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 624 frames, but the actual level of activity was 631 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $9,650. The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:________
Answer:
$84 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the activity variance for supplies cost is shown below:
Supplies cost for the standard one is
= $1,840 + (624 frames × $12 per frame)
= $9,328
And, the supplies cost for the actual one is
= $1,840 + (631 frames × $12)
= $9,412
So the activity variance is
= $9,328 - $9,412
= $84 unfavorable
As the standard cost is less than the actual one
Slotkin Products purchased a machine for $65000 on July 1, 2020. The company intends to depreciate it over 8 years using the double-declining balance method. Salvage value is $5000. Depreciation for 2020 to the closest dollar is:___________. a. $32500
b. $8125
c. $14219
d. $16250
Answer:Depreciation for 2020 to the closest dollar is:_b. $8125
Explanation:
Straight-line depreciation rate is given as = 1 / Useful life
1 / 8 = 0.1250 or 12.50%
Also the Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = 2 x Straight-line depreciation rate = 2 x 12.50%
Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = 25%
Given That the
Cost of Machine = $65,000
Depreciation for 2020 = Cost of machine x depreciation rate x period ( July - December
$65,000 x 25 % x 6/12
= $8,125
You want to buy your dream car which will cost you $5900. If you could invest your entire savings of $3500 at an annual interest of12%, how long (in years rounded to two decimal places) would you have to wait until you have accumulated enough money to buy the car?
Answer:
t = 4.607742347 years rounded off to 4.61 years
Explanation:
To calculate the number of years it will take an investment of $3500 to grow to $5900 at an annual interest rate of 12%, we will use the formula for the future value of cash flows. The formula can be written as follows,
Future value = Present value * (1+i)^t
Where,
i is the interest ratet is the time in yearsPlugging in the values for future value, present value and i, we can calculate the t to be,
5900 = 3500 * (1+0.12)^t
5900 / 3500 = (1.12)^t
1.685714286 = 1.12^t
Taking log on both sides.
Ln(1.685714286) / Ln(1.12) = t
t = 4.607742347 years rounded off to 4.61 years

Calculate the value of x (the implied forward rate on one-year maturity Treasuries to be delivered in one year). A. 6.53 percent. B. 10.83 percent. C. 5.75 percent. D. 6.925 percent. E. 1.017 percent.
Answer:
The value of X is A. 6.53 percent.
The value of Y is B. 10.83 percent
Explanation:
Note: See the full question as attached as picture below
Spot 1 Year Spot 2 Year Forward 1 Year (1-year maturity)
Treasury 3.0% 4..75% x
BBB Corporate Debt 7.5% 9.15% y
The formula to calculate the forward rate is: F1.1 = [(1+S2)² / (1+S1)] - 1
For treasury
F1.1 = [(1+4.75%)² / (1+3.0%)] - 1
F1.1 = 1.09725625 / 1.03 - 1
F1.1 = 6.53%
For BBB Corporate Debt
F1.1 = [(1+9.15%)² / (1+7.5%)] - 1
F1.1 = 1.19137225 / 1.075 - 1
F1.1 = 10.83%

Explanation:
Its on ApX
Answer:
Low return investments are sometimes a better option than high return investments because :
Answer:
D.) They are less likely to cause the investor to lose money.
Explanation:
The above assertion depends on the risk appetite of the investor concerned. Another investor with high risk profile may prefer a high risk, high return investment to a low return investment. Risk cannot be removed from the return of an investment because there is a trade-off. The higher the risk involved in an investment, the higher the expected returns. The converse is also true. What decides the chosen option is the investor's risk appetite and the availability and type of investments.
Answer: They are less likely to cause the investor to lose money.

Firms colluding: a. Earn short run normal profits. B. Increase competition by firms through advances in technology. C. Earn short run economic losses. D. Earn short run economic profits
Answer:
D. Earn short run economic profits
Explanation:
A cartel can be defined as a formal agreement reached (collusion) in an oligopolistic industry between two or more business firms that are saddled with the responsibility of producing goods and services in order to make price and output decisions such as price regulation, total level of output or supply, allocation of customers, market shares, territory allocation, division of profits, collusive bidding etc.
This ultimately implies that, when a group of independent firms in an oligopolistic industry collude by reaching a formal agreement to regulate supply, as well as manipulate or regulate prices, they do so to increase their profits and market dominance.
Hence, firms colluding earn short run economic profits.
