Answer:
A. $852,480
B. $387,749
Explanation:
1) Computation for the avoidable interest on this project
First step is to calculate the Avoidable interest on construction loan using this formula
Avoidable interest on construction loan = Loan Amount*Loan rate
Let plug in the formula
Avoidable interest on construction loan= $1,800,000*12%
Avoidable interest on construction loan= $216,000
Second step is to calculate the Weighted Average Interest Rate on General Loan (Amounts in $)
Loan Amount (A) Interest rate (B) Interest (A*B)
Short term loan 1,350,000 10% $135,000
Long term loan 900,000 11% 99,000
Total $2,250,000 $234,000
Weighted Average Interest rate = $234,000/$2,250,000
Weighted Average Interest rate = = 10.40%
Third step is to calculate the Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure
Using this formula
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure
= (Weighted Average Accum. Exp - Construction Loan)*Weighted Avg interest rate
Let plug in the formula
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure= ($7,920,000 - $1,800,000)*10.40%
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure= $636,480
Now let calculate the Total Avoidable Interest
Total Avoidable Interest = $216,000+$636,480
Total Avoidable Interest= $852,480
Therefore the avoidable interest on this project
is $852,480
2) Computation for the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021.
First step is to calculate the Total cost of building capitalized
Total cost of building capitalized = $11,440,000+$852,480
Total cost of building capitalized = $12,292,480
Now let calculate the Depreciation Expense using this formula
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation Expense= ($12,292,480 - $660,000)/30 yrs
Depreciation Expense = $387,749 per year
Therefore the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $387,749.

WellWheats, Inc. produces breakfast cereal and sells each box, or unit, for $7. The company is projecting sales of 1,000 units for the month of March. There are 30 units in the beginning inventory. Each unit requires 20 ounces of raw materials and 0.20 direct labor hours to make. The company's policy is to keep ending finished goods inventory of 10% of the current month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for the month have been budgeted at $2,000. If the direct labor cost per hour is $0.75, calculate the budgeted direct labor cost for the month of March.
A. $214.00
B. $160.50
C. $802.50
D. $236.00
Answer:
b. . $160.50
Explanation:
Projected Sales 1,000 units
Desired ending inventory = 10%*1,000 = 100 units
Beginning Inventory = 30 units
Required production = Projected Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning Inventory
Required production = 1,000 units + (10%*1,000 units) - 30 units
Required production = 1,000 units + 100 units - 30 units
Required production = 1,070 units
Labor hours per unit = 0.20
Cost per labor hour = $0.75
Budgeted labor cost for March = Required production*Labor hours per unit*Cost per labor hour
Budgeted labor cost for March = 1,070 units*$0.20*$0.75
Budgeted labor cost for March = $160.50
Hence, the budgeted labor cost for March is $160.50.
Bluebird, Inc., does not provide its employees with any tax-exempt fringe benefits. The company is considering adopting a hospital and medical benefits insurance plan that will cost approximately $9,000 per employee. To adopt this plan, the company may have to reduce salaries and/or lower future salary increases. Bluebird is in the 25% (combined Federal and state rates) bracket. Bluebird also is responsible for matching the Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld on employees' salaries (at the full 7.65% rate). The hospital and medical benefits insurance plan will not be subject to the Social Security and Medicare taxes, and the company is not eligible for the small business credit for health insurance. The employees generally fall into two marginal tax rate (MTR) groups.

Answer:
Project A
NPV = $91,771.53
PI = 1.53
Project B
NPV = $79,390.69
PI = 1.52
Project A should be chosen because it has the higher NPV
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = $ (174,325)
Cash flow in year 1 = 41,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 60,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 72,295

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Governments commonly regulate the prices and quality of services provided by natural monopolies.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency saddled with the responsibility of assuring and ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees by setting and enforcing standards, providing education, trainings and assistance to various organizations.

Explanation:
Waterways has a sales mix of sprinklers, valves, and controllers as follows.
Annual expected sales:
Sale of sprinklers 460,000 units at $26.50
Sale of valves 1,480,000 units at $11.20
Sale of controllers 60,000 units at $42.50
Variable manufacturing cost per unit
Sprinklers $13.96
Valves $7.95
Controllers $29.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (total) $760,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit:
Sprinklers $1.30
Valves $0.50
Controllers $3.41
Fixed selling and administrative expenses (total) $1,600,000
A) Determine the sales mix based on unit sales for each product.
B) Using the annual expected sales for these products, determine the weighted-average unit contribution margin for these three products.
C) Assuming the sales mix remains the same, what is the break-even point in units for these products?
Answer:
A.
Sales Mix is 23 : 74 : 3
B.
$567.17
C.
sprinklers = 95,726 units
valves = 303,826 units
controllers = 12,486 units
Explanation:
the sales mix based on unit sales for each product
sprinklers = 460,000 units
valves = 1,480,000 units
controllers = 60,000 units
this can then be expressed as :
460,000 : 1,480,000 : 60,000
expressed in lowest terms as :
23 : 74 : 3
the weighted-average unit contribution margin for these three products.
weighted-average unit contribution margin is the sum of contribution per units with the mix applied to each contribution margin.
unit contribution margin are
sprinklers = $12.54
valves = $3.25
controllers = $12.75
weighted-average unit contribution margin = $12.54 x 23 + $3.25 x 74 + $12.75 x 3 = $567.17
the break-even point in units for these products
break-even point in units = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= ($760,000 + $1,600,000) ÷ $567.17
= 4,162 units
Multiplying this with each mix we have :
sprinklers = 95,726 units
valves = 303,826 units
controllers = 12,486 units

Issuance of common stock $247,000
Issuance of bonds payable $522,000
Less: Payment of dividends -$335,000
Less: Purchase of treasury stock -$49,000
Net Cash flow provided by financing activities $385,000
Hence, the Net Cash flow provided by financing activities is $385,000
In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $82,000. During the year, Dinty wrote off $32,000 of accounts receivable it had attempted to collect and failed. Credit sales for the year were $2,200,000, and cash collections from credit customers totaled $1,950,000. What accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet?
Answer:
$218,000
Explanation:
Account receivable balance = Credit sales - Cash collection - Wrote-offs
Account receivable balance = $2,200,000 - $1,950,000 - $32,000
Account receivable balance = $218,000
So, the accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet is $218,000
Hinck Corporation reported net cash provided by operating activities of $361,200, net cash used by investing activities of $150,800 (including cash spent for capital assets of $206,000), and net cash provided by financing activities of $78,900. Dividends of $126,900 were paid.
Answer:
$28,300
Explanation:
Missing word: "Calculate free cash flow."
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Capital expenditures - Dividends
Free cash flow = $361,200 - $206,000 - $126,900
Free cash flow = $28,300
So, the Free cash flow of Hinck Corporation is $28,300.

Lifecycle Motorcycle Company is expected to pay a dividend in year 1 of $2, a dividend in year 2 of $3, and a dividend in year 3 of $4. After year 3, dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 7% per year. An appropriate required return for the stock is 12% (for both stages). Using the multistage DDM, the stock should be worth __________ today. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$67.95
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much should the stock should be worth today.
First step is to calculate the dividend per year;
D4= D3(1+g) = 4(1.07) = $4.28
Second step is to calculate the PV of each dividend
PV (D1) =2 / (1.12)
PV (D1) = 1.7857
PV (D2) = 3/ (1.12²)
PV (D2) = 2.3916
PV (D3) = 4/ (1.12³)
PV (D3) = 2.8471
Fourth Step is to calculate the Value of Perp. at t=3
=[(4(1.07))/(.12-.07)]/1.12^3
=85.6/1.4049
=60.9296
Now let calculate how much should the stock should be worth today
Worth today = 1.7857+ 2.3916 + 2.8471 + 60.9296
Worth today=$67.95
Therefore Using the multistage DDM, the stock should be worth $67.95 today
In the open economy macroeconomic model, the amount of dollars demanded in the market for foreign-currency exchange at a given real exchange rate increases if a. either U.S. imports or exports increase. b. either U.S. imports or exports decrease. c. either U.S. imports increase or U.S. exports decrease. d. either U.S. imports decrease or U.S. exports increase.
Answer:
d. either U.S. imports decrease or U.S. exports increase
Explanation:
International trade occurs when countries buy and sell between themselves. This results from one country's comparative advantage in producing a good over other countries.
As a result when a country exports a lot of goods it's currency is in high demand. This is because the other country has to buy in the home country's currency, so large volume of export means large demand for the country's currency.
It also follows that when it's imports decreases it's currency will also be in high demand since less of it is being given to buy foreign goods.
The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?
a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.
d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.
Answer:
the correct answer is B)
Explanation:
Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.
Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate= $22.53 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor hours are estimated at 100,000 for the year.
Total estimated overhead for the period= (105,000 + 283,500 + 1,462,500 + 117,000 + 285,000) = $2,253,000
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated overhead / total amount of allocation rate
Predetermined overhead rate= 2,253,000 / 100,000
Predetermined overhead rate= $22.53 per direct labor hour

d. every firm with 500 or more employees must establish their own on-site medical facilities to provide employees with basic medical care.
Answer:
b. every firm with 50 or more full-time employees must purchase health insurance for their full-time employees or pay a $2,000 fine per employee.
Explanation:
An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.
Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).
Hence, while an employer may be the owner of a business firm or company, an employee is a subordinate employed to provide unwavering services to the employer while also, being professional and diligent at all times.
The employer mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires that every firm with 50 or more full-time employees must purchase health insurance for their full-time employees or pay a $2,000 fine per employee.
Bonita Company has a factory machine with a book value of $87,800 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for $32,000. A new machine is available at a cost of $455,100. This machine will have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $624,400 to $524,400. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.
Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought.

Answer:
A. 980 unfavorable
B. 300 favorable
C. 62.50 unfavorable
D. 0
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine June’s direct material price variance
Using this formula
Direct material price variance=Actual quantity(Standard price -Actual price)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material price variance=490 ($32 - $30) Direct material price variance=980 U
B. Calculation to determine June’s direct material efficiency variance
Using this formula
Direct material efficiency variance=Standard price (Actual quantity-Standard quality)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material efficiency variance=$30 (490 – 500)
Direct material efficiency variance= 300 F
C. Calculation to determine June’s direct labor rate variance
Using this formula
Direct labor rate variance=standard hours(actual rate -standard rate )
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor rate variance =250 dlh ($15.25 - $15.00)
Direct labor rate variance = $62.50 U
D. Calculation to determine June’s direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance=[250 dlh - (5,000 x 0.05)] x $15
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance = 0

Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would Multiple Choice increase productivity and increase aggregate supply. decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand. increase the prices of imported resources and decrease aggregate supply. decrease the supply of money and decrease aggregate demand.
Answer:
Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would:
decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand.
Explanation:
The immediate effect of an appreciation of U.S. dollars is the decrease of net exports to other countries because the importers will find that importing goods from the U.S. is more expensive than importing from some other countries. This drop caused by decreased exports also decreases aggregate demand of U.S. goods. Therefore, excess inventory of U.S. goods in producers' warehouses will result, thus, reducing national productivity and GDP.
Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand. Thus, Option (B) is correct.
When the U.S. dollar appreciates, it becomes stronger compared to other currencies. This means that goods and services produced in the United States become relatively more expensive for foreign buyers.
As a result, U.S. exports become less competitive in the international market, leading to a decrease in the quantity of goods and services exported. A decline in exports reduces the net exports component of aggregate demand, as net exports are the difference between exports and imports.
A decrease in net exports directly contributes to a decrease in aggregate demand, as aggregate demand is the sum of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.
Thus, Option (B) accurately describes what happens when there is an appreciation of the U.S. dollar.
