Answer:
the Net Cash flow provided by financing activities is $385,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be reported as net cash provided or used by financing activities is shown below:
Cash flow from financing activities
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
Measuring actual performance can be done through:
a.
Assessing the behavior of employee
b.
Assessing the output of employee
c.
Both are correct
d.
Non are correct
Answer: c. Both are correct
Explanation:
Assessing the output of an employee shows some of the actual performance of that employee as it shows just how much they have contributed to the overall output of the company.
Assessing employee behavior also shows actual performance because behavior can influence output for example, how often the employee shows up to work and their work ethic when there. In the service industry as well, behavior can affect company sales as people react to how they are treated. It is therefore an important matric for actual performance evaluation.
In 2001, HP acquired Compaq. The merger had an impact on two different markets: desktop PCs and servers. Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC market were as follows: Dell, 13; Compaq, 12; HP, 8; IBM, 6; Gateway, 4. Pre-merger market shares in the servers market were as follows: IBM, 26; Compaq, 16; HP, 14; Dell, 7. Source: Bank of America report, October 2001. Data for 2001Q2.
(a) Determine the value of HHI in each market before the merger.
(b) Assuming market shares of each firm remain constant, determine the value of HHI after the merger.
(c) Considering the values determined above and the DoJ merger guidelines, was the Department of Justice right in allowing the merger to take place?
Answer:
HP and Compaq
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached. This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
Compaq, 12 16
HP, 8 14
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 12² + 8² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 144 + 64 + 36 + 16
= 429
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 16² + 14² + 26² + 0² =
= 49 + 256 + 196 + 676
= 1,177
After the merger:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
HP Compaq 20 30
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 20² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 400 + 36 + 16
= 621
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 30² + 26² + 0²
= 40 + 900 + 676
= 1,616
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
Market power of Compaq and HP in the desktop PC market before the merger = 208/429 = 48.5% (144 + 64)/429
Market power of HP Compaq in the desktop PC market after the merger = 400/621 = 64.4%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 192 (621 = 429)
Market power of Compaq and HP in the servers market before the merger = 452/1,177 = 38.4% (256 + 196)/1,177
Market power of HP Compaq in the servers market after the merger = 900/1,616 = 55.7%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 439 (1,616 - 1,1177)
Charles lives in Houston and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Charles does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Implicit Cost
Explicit Cost
The salary Bob could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the boats that Bob pays the manufacturer
The rental income Bob could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
The wages and utility bills that Bob pays
Complete the following table by determining Bob's accounting and economic profit of his boat business.
Profit
(Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer and Explanation:
The classification is as follows;
When bob worked as an accountant so he could earn the salary so this represent the implicit cost
The cost for the boats that bob paid to the manufactured represent the explicit cost
The rental income that received by bob represent the implicit cost
The wages and utility bills paid by bob represent the explicit cost
The Accounting profit is
= Revenue - explicit cost
= $851,000 - $476,000 - $281,000
= $94000
And, the Economic profit is
= Accounting profit - implicit cost
= $94,000 - $71,000 - $34,000
= -$11,000

Terry Wade, the new controller of Hellickson Company, has reviewed the expected useful lives and salvage values of selected depreciable assets at the beginning of 2015. His findings are as follows.
Date Accumulated Depreciation Useful life in Years Salvage Value
Type of Asset Acquired Cost 1/1/15 Old Proposed Old Proposed
Building 1/1/09 $806,700 $115,410 40 50 $37,300 $50,210
Warehouse 1/1/10 114,000 21,940 25 20 4,300 19,610
All assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. Hellickson Company uses a calendar year in preparing annual financial statements. After discussion, management has agreed to accept Terry’s proposed changes.
1) Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2015. ( Building and Warehouse)
2) Prepare the entry to record depreciation on the building in 2015. (If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1) Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2015.
The revised annual depreciation for building will be:
= ($806700 - $115410 - $50210)/44
= $64180 / 44
= $14570
The revised annual depreciation for warehouse will be:
= ($114000 - $21940 - $19610) / 15
= $72450 / 15
= $4830
2) Prepare the entry to record depreciation on the building in 2015.
Debit Depreciation expense $14570
Credit Accumulated Depreciation- Building $14570
(To record Depreciation expense)

Crane, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 200 pressure gauges were produced, and overhead costs of $72,750 were estimated. An analysis of estimated overhead costs reveals the following activities. Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost 1. Materials handling Number of requisitions $30,000 2. Machine setups Number of setups 23,750 3. Quality inspections Number of inspections 19,000 $72,750 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total Number of requisitions 375 625 1,000 Number of setups 175 300 475 Number of inspections 225 250 475
Answer:
Requirement: Determine the overhead rate for each activity "Materials handling, Machine setups, Quality inspections"
Materials handling overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Materials handling overhead rate = $30,000 / 1,000
Materials handling overhead rate = $30
Machine setups overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Machine setups overhead rate = $23,750 / 475
Machine setups overhead rate = $50
Quality inspections overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Quality inspections overhead rate = $19,000 / 475
Quality inspections overhead rate = $40

The average issue price per share of preferred stock must have been: _________
Answer:
$70.00
Explanation:
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = (Preferred stock capital + Contributed capital in excess of par value, Preferred Stock) / Number of shares issues & outstanding
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = ($100,000 + $250,000) / 5,000 shares
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $350,000 / 5,000 shares
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $70.00

Debit Defered Tax Asset $7070
Credit Income Tax Payable $19190
Credit Defered tax liability $28280
(To record income tax expense and defered tax/liability).
Note that:
Income Tax Expense was gotten as:
= $202,000 × 20%
= $202000 × 0.2
= $40,4000
Income Tax Payable was gotten as:
= $95,950 × 20%
= $95950 × 0.2
= $19,190
2. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020.
Income statement for year ended 31 December 2020
Income before tax = $202000
Less: Income Tax expense - Current = $19190
Less: Income Tax expense - Defered = $21210
Net income = $161600

Bonita Industries financed the purchase of a machine by making payments of $29000 at the end of each of five years. The appropriate rate of interest was 8%. The future value of one for five periods at 8% is 1.46933. The future value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 5.86660. The present value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 3.99271. What was the cost of the machine to Bonita?
Answer:
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of machine to Bonita in today's term, we need to calculate the present value of annuity. We know that the payments made are in form of an ordinary annuity because the amount of payment is fixed (29000) , the payments are made after equal interval of time (at the end of each year) and are made in finite number (5 years).
We will multiply the annuity payment per period by the PV of ordinary annuity factor as provided in the question to calculate the value or price of machine today.
Cost of Machine today = 29000 * 3.99271
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?
A) 4,500 ounces
B) 13,575 ounces
C) 13,425 ounces
D) 4,525 ounces
Answer:
Purchases = 13575 ounces
Option B is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.
Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces
Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit
Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces
Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500
Production = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
13500 = 1350 + Purchases - 1425
13500 + 1425 - 1350 = Purchases
Purchases = 13575 ounces

Explanation:
Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $73,000, and the result is 5,600 gallons of anderine and 7,600 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $13.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $7.45 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.50 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 2 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $65.
Required:
1. List the relevant benefits and costs for each alternative.
2. Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much?
3. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 500 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing required 20 more purchase orders at $10 each and 15 more quality inspection hours at $25 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much?
Answer:
Betram Chemicals Company
1. Relevant benefits and costs for each alternative:
Sale at split-off Sale after

Revenue $129,420 $238,620
Joint Costs 73,000 73,000
Cost for further processing - 42,000
Gross profit $56,420 $123,620
Additional profit $0 $67,200
2. Further processing of Anderine is more cost-effective by $67,200.
3. Further processing of Anderine is still better by $60,760.
Explanation:

Selling price per gallon $7.45 $65
Sales revenue $56,620 $182,000 $238,620
Gross profit $123,620
Profit from further processing:
Gross profit with further processing $123,620
Gross profit before further processing 56,420
Additional profit $67,200
1. Relevant benefits and costs for each alternative:
Sale at split-off Sale after
further processing
Revenue $129,420 $238,620
Joint Costs 73,000 73,000
Cost for further processing - 42,000
Gross profit $56,420 $123,620
Additional profit $0 $67,200 ($123,620 - $56,420)
What if:
Purchasing order cost (5,600/500 * 20 * $10) = $2,240
Quality inspection cost (5,600/500 * 15 * $25) = $4,200
Additional costs = $6,440
Reduced additional profit = $60,760 ($67,200 - $6,440)
Swifty Company manufactures and sells three products. Relevant per unit data concerning each product are given below. Product A B C Selling price $9 $14 $18 Variable costs and expenses $6 $12 $15 Machine hours to produce 2 1 2 Compute the contribution margin per unit of limited resource (machine hours) for each product. (Round contribution margin per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.50.) Product A Product B Product C Contribution margin per unit of limited resource $ $ $ Assuming 3,000 additional machine hours are available, which product should be manufactured
Answer:
Product A = 1.50
Product B = 2
Product C = 1.50
Explanation:
Contribution margin = (price - variable cost) / total number of hours
Product A = ($9 - $6) / 2 = 1.50
Product B = ($14 - $12) / 1 = 2
Product C = ($18 - $15) / 2 = 1.50
Product B would be produced because its contribution margin is the highest
You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:
1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.
Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.
Answer:
RULES OF KANBAN BOARD
Yellow – A Slice of Pizza
• Blue – Full Pizza
• Green – Soda
• Green jumps from Queue to Pack only
• No pizza will be delivered without quality check
• Pizza will return to the backlog, if it is found with inferior quality during quality check
• A unique token number will be given for each order
• Orders with multiple pizza or a combo order will be given same unique token number
• Pizza will be prepared in the order of token number
• Token number will include initials “C” for carry out, “D” for dine in

Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

Monsanto Company, a large chemical and fibers company, invested $37 million in state-of-the-art systems to improve process control, laboratory automation, and local area network (LAN) communications. The investment was not justified merely on cost savings but was also justified on the basis of qualitative considerations. Monsanto management viewed the investment as a critical element toward achieving its version of the future. What qualitative and quantitative considerations do you believe Monsanto would have considered in its strategic evaluation of these investments
Solution :
The investment which was made by the Monsanto Company had both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspect of the investment represents the strategic evaluation which relates to the investment in order to improve the process control and the laboratory automation. While improving the process control helps in controlling the working process of the machines and the human force which reduces the wastage to a large extent, it also increases the efficiency and it reduces the cost per unit.
The laboratory automation increases the efficiency of working and also increases the production. Strengthening the LAN network improves the organizations' communication and also reduces the unnecessary delays in the work saving cost. Improving the local area network provides qualitative improvement and it speeds up the work thus reducing the wastage of time and promotes effective communication.
Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise gross profits by $4,500,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of seven years and will be depreciated over those seven years. The marginal tax rate is 40%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0?
A) -$10,020,000
B) -$7,000,000
C) -$9,018,000
D) $1,002,857
Answer:
A) -$10,020,000
Explanation:
Year 0 cash flow = -(Cost of Machine + Installation Cost + Clean Room Cost)
Year 0 cash flow = -($7,000,000 + $20,000 + $3,000,000)
Year 0 cash flow = -$10,200,000
So, the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0 is ($10,200,000).

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $26.10 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.
Answer:
Original Cost = $26.10
Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years
Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million
Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $14.5 million
Remaining Life = 6 - 4
Remaining Life = 2 Years
New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life
New Amortization = $14.5/2
New Amortization = $7.25 million
Journal Entry
Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million
Patent Credit - $7.25 million
Given a reserve requirement of 12.5%, a bank currently meets their reserve requirements with $15,000,000 in excess reserves. If the reserve requirement increases and the bank must hold an additional $1,800,000, by how many percentage points did the reserve requirement increase
Answer:
1.5%
Explanation:
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
Total increase in reserve = $15,000,000 + $1,800,000= $16,800,000
New excess reserve = total increase in reserve x initial reserve requirement) / initial excess reserve
($16,800,000 x 12.5%) / $15,000,000 = 14%
Increase in reserve requirement = 14% - 12.5% = 1.5%
