Bridgeport Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $1,836,000 on March 1, $1,236,000 on June 1, and $3,038,370 on December 31. Bridgeport Company borrowed $1,112,250 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 9%, 5-year, $2,342,100 note payable and an 10%, 4-year, $3,467,800 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes.
Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
According to the problem, calculation are as follows,
Company borrowed on March 1 = $1,112,250
First we calculate total expenditures in constructing a building.
Total Expense = ($1,836,000 × 10÷12)+ ($1,236,000 × 7÷12)+ ($3,038,370 × 0÷12)
= $1,530,000 + $721,000 + 0
= $2,251,000
So, Difference in both amount = $2,251,000 - $1,112,250 = $1,138,750
We can calculate the weighted average interest rate by using following formula,
Weighted average interest rate = Interest ÷ outstanding principal
Where, Outstanding principal = $2,342,100 + $3,467,800 = $5,809,900
Interest = $2,342,100 × 9% + $3,467,800 × 10%
= $210,789 + $346,780 = $557,569
So, by putting the value in formula, we get,
Weighted average interest rate = $557,569 ÷ $5,809,900
= 0.096 or 9.6%
Mona is opening a new business selling fake fur coats. She organizes the company as a limited liability company called Fake-It, LLC and borrows $100,000 from a local bank in Fake-It's name. She also signs a personal guarantee at the bank promising to pay the debt of Fake-It. A friend of hers, Tanner, a second-year law student, advises her not to worry about the personal guarantee, because under the law of limited liability companies, it would be illegal for anyone to attempt to hold her liable for debts of the company. Is Tanner right?
Answer:
Yes but see explanation.
Explanation:
In lay man terms, the LLC is standing as a legal entity in itself. It can sue and be sued; as if it were a person. Tanner is right but Mona is a 'member' of the company (the owner or starter is called or seen as 'a member') and part of the liabilities of the company lie on her!
The legal document that determines who to hold liable for debts of the company is the Article of Organization. This document describes the rights, the powers, the responsibilities and the liabilities of each member of the limited liability company. So, if in this document, Mona bears a bulk of the financial liability of the company, then if the company is found wanting - on the basis of debt - and a court case comes up; Mona will be one of the members on the 'hot seat'.
Her personal bank account or financial assets might be protected in a company debt case but she'll still have to appear in court and be questioned accordingly. In lay man language, it is she - a human - who opened the business, so if there's debt, the humans involved (members) will be called upon.
Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 5 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce either 1 radios or 5 televisions per year. Each nation has 100 workers. Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be
Answer:
450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.
Explanation:
In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.
The American Girl catalog began as a concept to introduce today's girls to girls who lived in the past. Each historically accurate doll is carefully crafted and dressed and has books to describe her life. For example, Kristen is an 1854 pioneer girl who is growing up in Minnesota. Her story begins with her long sea voyage from Sweden. The basic doll dressed in a calico dress and striped apron plus the hardcover story of how she got to Minnesota costs $90. Six more hardback books of Kristen's life are available for $74.95. Kristen's nightgown costs $20, and a matching one for the doll owner is an additional $38. Buy both together and the price is only $50. A hand-painted wooden bed and trunk for Kristen are available for $213. Shipping costs vary with the price of the merchandise ordered. Refer to the American Girl Doll. What is the revenue to American Girl if it sells 20 basic Kristen doll and books
In a culture with strong business and family ties which of the following is NOT true:
a) Several members of a family may work in the same business.
b) Family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business.
c) Protecting a family member is sometimes more important than a good business
d) decision.
Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Answer: Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Explanation:
In a culture with strong business and family ties, we should note that several members of the family may work in the same business.
Also, the family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business. This is to ensure that the family members have a say in the affairs of the company. The family members are protected as well.
The option that isn't true is that families and their businesses are very mobile. This isn't true. The business is of importance and the family members aren't usually mobile.
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP), the parent company of Frito-LayTM snack foods and Pepsi beverages, had the following current assets and current liabilities at the end of two recent years: Year 2 (in millions) Year 1 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,096 $ 6,134 Short-term investments, at cost 2,913 2,592 Accounts and notes receivable, net 6,437 6,651 Inventories 2,720 3,143 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,865 2,143 Short-term obligations (liabilities) 4,071 5,076 Accounts payable and other current liabilities 13,507 13,016 a. Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
Current ratio
Year 1 = 1.3
Year 2 = 1.1
Quick ratio
Year 1 = 1.0
Year 2 = 0.8
Explanation:
Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.
Current assets
Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865
= $ 23,031.00
Year 2 = 6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143
= $ 20,663.00
Current Liabilities
Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507
= $ 17,578.00
Year 2 = 5,076 + 13,016
= $ 18,092.00
Current ratio
Year 1 = $ 23,031.00/$ 17,578.00
= 1.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
Year 2 = $ 20,663.00/$ 18,092.00
= 1.1 to 1 decimal place
Quick ratio
Year 1
= (23,031.00 - 2,720 - 1,865)/ 17,578.00
= 1.0 to 1 decimal place
Year 2
= (20,663.00 - 3,143 - 2,143)
= 0.8 to 1 decimal place
A companies gross profit or gross margin was $83,750 and its net sales were $347,800 it’s gross margin ratio is
Answer:
Gross Margin Ratio = 0.240799 or 24.0799%
Explanation:
Gross profit margin ratio or gross margin ratio is a financial ratio that expresses the gross profit of a company as a percentage of its total revenue. The gross profit is the difference between the total revenue and the cost of goods sold. The gross margin ratio can be calculated as follows,
Gross Margin Ratio = Gross Profit / Total Revenue
Gross Margin Ratio = 83750 / 347800
Gross Margin Ratio = 0.240799 or 24.0799%

3. 789.41
4. 232.57
Explanation:
All of the following are true about the basic EOQ model except One half the order size equals the average inventory level. The average dollar value of inventory equals unit price multiplied by order quantity. Annual demand divided by EOQ will give the optimal number of orders per year. The reorder point equals daily demand multiplied by the lead time in days, excluding safety stock.
Answer:
Hence, the second statement describing the average inventory is false
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost. It is the order size that optimizes the investment in stock ordering.
The following statements
The number of orders = Annual demand/order size
Re-order level(point) Average daily usage × average lead time
Average inventory = safety stock × (1/2× order size)
The average Dollar value = Unit price × average inventory
Hence, the second statement describing the average inventory is false
You decide to buy a 60 unit apartment complex in Austin for $15,000,000. You have $6,000,000 to use as a down payment and have applied for a $9,000,000 mortgage loan from Bank of the Ozarks. The loan will have a 25 year term, be fully amortizing, and have fixed interest rate of 6.24% per annum. What is your monthly payment on the loan?
a. $54,731.69
b. $59,314.62
c. $65,731.09
d. $98,857.71
Answer:
Monthly payment= $59,314.62
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Loan= $9,000,000
Number of periods (n)= 25*12= 300 months
Interest rate= 0.0624/12= 0.0052
To calculate the monthly payment, we need to use the following formula:
Monthly payment= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly payment= (9,000,000*0.0052) / [1 - (1.0052^-300)]
Monthly payment= $59,314.62

Holder Manufacturing had $125,000 of net income in 2015 when the selling price per unit was $100, the variable costs per unit were $70, and the fixed costs were $475,000. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2016. The president of Holder Manufacturing is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $60,000 in 2016.
Instructions
A) Compute the number of units sold in 2015.
B) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
C) Assume that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
Answer:
Holder Manufacturing
A. The number of units sold in 2015 is:
= 20,000 units
B. The number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level is:
= 22,000 units
C. The selling price to reach the stockholders' desired profit level, assuming that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015 is:
= $103 per unit.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net income in 2015 = $125,000
Selling price per unit = $100
Variable costs per unit = $70
Contribution per unit = $30
Fixed costs = $475,000
Number of units sold in 2015:
Contribution margin = Net income + Fixed costs
= $125,000 + $475,000 = $600,000
Number of units sold = $600,000/$30 = 20,000 units
For 2016:
Contribution margin = $660,000 ($600,000 + $60,000)
Number of units to be sold = 22,000
If units sold in 2016 = 20,000, selling price would be:
Contribution would be = $33 ($660,000/20,000)
Selling price = Variable cost + Contribution margin per unit
= $70 + $33 = $103
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 billion cases of cola were sold every year at a price of $5 per case. After the tax, 18 billion cases of cola are sold every year; consumers pay $6 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $3 per case.
The amount of the tax on a case of cola is ___________ $ per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is __________$ per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ____________$ per case.
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
$1
$2
false
Explanation:
A tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services by the government. Taxes increases the price of goods
Tax = amount consumers pay - amount producers receive
$6 - $3 = $3
Tax paid by consumers = Price after tax - tax before tax
$6 - $5 = $1
Amount received by producers = tax - tax paid by consumers
$3 - $1 = $2

D. do not engage in price discrimination because the marginal cost of flying one additional passenger is low . E. do not engage in price discrimination because their passengers have similar demands.
Answer:
A. engage in price discrimination by charging business travelers and leisure travelers different prices.
Explanation:
Yes, airlines practice price discrimination. They engage in price discrimination by charging business travelers and leisure travelers different prices for the same distance travelled.
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.

Walnut has forecast sales for the next three months as follows: July 4,900 units, August 6,900 units, September 8,000 units. Walnut's policy is to have an ending inventory of 50% of the next month's sales needs on hand. July 1 inventory is projected to be 2,200 units. Selling and administrative costs are budgeted to be $20,000 per month plus $9 per unit sold. What are budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July
Answer:
the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is $64,100
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is shown below:
= Budgeted selling & admin cost + (per unit sold × July units)
= $20,000 + ($9 × 4,900 units)
= $20,000 + $44,100
= $64,100
hence, the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is $64,100
We simply applied the above formula

“Employers should be concerned with helping employees cope with both job-related stress and off-the-job stress.” Do you agree or disagree? Discuss.
Answer:
Agreed.
Explanation:
I agree with employers helping employees cope with both job-related stress and off-the-job stress because it can help improve the employee's mental health. You see, if you are already stressed enough about work, then you won't really have time to focus on yourself which can oftentimes lead to su!c!de. I think that with the employer's help, they can reassure the employee and help them maintain themselves.
Suppose an American business owner purchases chocolates from Belgium in order to sell them in her shops. This would be entered as a ____________ item under the ___________________ section of the U.S. current account. Consider the goods and services balance. According to the table, the United States is running a trade ____________ .
The current account balance suggests that U.S. current account transactions (exports and imports of goods and services, as well as inflow and outflow of investment income and transfers) created outpayments of foreign currencies from the United States that were __________________the inpayments of foreign currencies to the United States.
Any surplus or deficit in one account must be offset by deficits or surpluses in other balance-of-payments accounts. Because the current account is in ____________ , the excess of foreign currency held by Americans must either be loaned to foreigners or used to buy foreign stocks or bonds. All of these transactions are then recorded in the _______________account. Since any imbalance in one account automatically leads to an equal, but opposite, imbalance in the other, the balance of payments is always _____________
Answer:
Debit
U.S. merchandise imports
Surplus
equal to
Surplus
current
zero
Explanation:
The trade deficit or surplus is based on the exports and imports of the country. When the imports are higher than exports then there will be trade deficit in the current account. In the given scenario the case is other way round, here imports are less than exports which suggests that there is a trade surplus which is offset by other accounts and balance of payment turn out to be zero.

Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building. The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $0.36. The average fixed expense per month is $1,300. Use the formula method to determine how many cups of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profits of $3,000 per month.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The formula method is denoted by
Unit sales to attain the targeted profit =( Target profit + Fixed expenses) / Contribution margin per unit
Target profit = $3,000 per month
Fixed expenses = $1,300
Contribution margin per unit = $1.49 - $0.36 = $1.13
Therefore, unit sales to attain targeted profit = ($3,000 + $1,300) / $1.13 = 3,805.31 units
It means that 3,805.31 cup of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profit of $3,000 per month.
