Stationery Supplies is considering installing an inventory control system in its store in Provo, Utah. The store carries about 1,400 different inventory items and has annual gross sales of about $80,000. The inventory control system would cost $12,500 to install and about $2,000 per year in additional supplies, time, and maintenance. If the savings to the store from the system can be represented as a fixed percentage of annual sales, what would that p
Answer:
5.63%
Explanation:
Missing word "have to be in order for the system to pay for itself in five years or less?"
Total cost = Installation cost + Holding cost
Total cost = 12500 + (2000*5)
Total cost = $22,500
Sales * Saving rate * Number of years = Total cost
80,000 * S * 5 = $22,500
S = $22,500/$400,000
S = 0.05625
S = 5.63%
Thus, it is required for the company to have 5.62% of saving rate per year to pay for the system.

An investor owns 60 shares of common stock of a company issuing new shares in a rights offering. The stock trades at $12 per share. The company requires that investors must submit 9 rights plus $10 to purchase a new share of stock. Fractional shares automatically become whole shares. How many additional shares may the investor purchase and what is the amount of money that needs to be paid for the new shares
Answer:
7 shares and $70
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The additional shares is
= 60 shares ÷ 9
= 7 shares
And, the amount of money that have to be paid is
= Additional shares × purchase price
= 7 × $10
= $70

Karen and Andy own a beach house. They have an agreement with a rental agent to rent it up to 200 days per year. For the past three years, the agent has been successful in renting it for 200 days. Karen and Andy use the beach house for one week during the summer and one week during Thanksgiving. Their daughter, Sarah, a college Student, has asked if she and some friends can use the beach house for the week of spring break. Advise Karen and Andy on how they should respond, and identify any relevant tax issues.
Answer:
The total number of days that Karen and Andy can use the beach house for personal use = 200 rental days x 10% = 20 days. If they exceed this limit, then they will not be able to deduct any rental losses from their income.
It is important to determine if Karen And Andy expect a rental loss or not. If they expect to lose money, then they should tell their daughter to use the beach house only for 6 days, not 7. Or they could use it only 13 days during the rest of the year. The important issue is that the total number of days for personal use doesn't exceed 10% of the rental days.

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume the following values for the figures below: Q1 = 20 bags. Q2 = 15 bags. Q3 = 27 bags. The market equilibrium price is $45 per bag. The price at a is $85 per bag. The price at c is $5 per bag. The price at f is $59 per bag. The price at g is $31 per bag. Apply the formula for the area of a triangle (Area = ½ × Base × Height) to answer the following questions. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. What is the dollar value of the total surplus (= producer surplus + consumer surplus) when the allocatively efficient output level is produced? $ What is the dollar value of the consumer surplus at that output level? $ b. What is the dollar value of the deadweight loss when output level Q2 is produced? $ What is the total surplus when output level Q2 is produced? $ c. What is the dollar value of the deadweight loss when output level Q3 is produced? $
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
For point a:
When efficient level Q1 is produced, the dollar amount of the total surplus (production company excess plus its consumer excess) is provided
Surplus consumer area + Surplus manufacturer area
= Triangle Area ABC:
[tex]= \frac{1}{2}\times ac \times Q_1 \\\\= \frac{1}{2}\times (85 - 5) \times 20 \\\\= \frac{1}{2}\times 80 \times 20 \\\\= \$ 800[/tex]
So, the total amount of surplus in 5.4a is $800. The dollar value of its surplus is calculated by the output Q1
[tex]= \frac{1}{2}( \text{choke price} - \text{equilibrium price}) \times \text{equilibrium quantity}\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\times (85 - 45)\times 20 \\\\ = \frac{1}{2}\times 40 \times 20 \\\\=$400[/tex]
so, the consumer surplus = $400.
For point b:
Whenever the output level Q2 is produced, the unit price of the loss of demise is calculated by the sheltered region in figure 5.4 a
= Triangle Area dbe:
[tex]= \frac{1}{2} \times(de) \times (Q_1-Q_2) \\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times (55 - 35) \times 5 \\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times (20) \times 5 \\\\ = \$50[/tex]
So, the deadweight loss = $50. The total surplus for output Q2 is determined by the trapezium suitable area
[tex]= \frac{1}{2} \times (ac + de) \times Q_2\\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times (80 + 20) \times 15\\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 15\\\\= \$ 750.[/tex]
So, the total surplus is $750
For point c:
The value of its deadweight loss in dollars in Q3 can be seen in figure 5.4b in the shaded area provided by
= The triangle area bfg
[tex]= \frac{1}{2} \times (fg) \times (Q_3-Q_1)\\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times (59 - 31) \times 7 \\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times 28 \times 7 \\\\ = \$98[/tex]
The deadweight loss is $98.
The total excess at output level Q3 is calculated by removing the deadweight loss from the maximum excess. It implies a quantity of between $800 - $98 = $702.
In the incident of oversupply, the consumer supply is, therefore, $702.

Hey! Here's the answer.
Stengel Co. enters into a 3-year contract to perform maintenance service for Laplante Inc. Laplante promises to pay $100,000 at the beginning of each year (the standalone selling price of the service at contract inception is $100,000 per year). At the end of the second year, the contract is modified and the fee for the third year of service, which reflects a reduced menu of maintenance services to be performed at Laplante locations, is reduced to $80,000 (the standalone selling price of the services at the beginning of the third year is $80,000 per year). Briefly describe the accounting for this contract modification.
Answer:
Stengel Co. is in a contract to perform maintenance service for Laplante Inc. The revenue accounted for the first 2 years will be $100,000 per year, which when received in cash, will be credited to Laplante's account in the books of Stengel. However, in the third year, with the modification of the contract revenue, the disclosure will be done for $100,000 only, with a debit to Contract.
Modification Costs, aggregating $ 20,000, which anyways needs to be expensed off. The amount to be received from Laplante Inc. at the end of the third year in cash, which will be credited to their account, will total $80,000 only.

Floyd Industries stock has a beta of 1.25. The company just paid a dividend of $.40, and the dividends are expected to grow at 5 percent per year. The expected return on the market is 12 percent, and Treasury bills are yielding 5.0 percent. The most recent stock price for Floyd is $67. a. Calculate the cost of equity using the DDM method. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) DCF method % b. Calculate the cost of equity using the SML method.
Answer:
5.62%
13.75%
Explanation:
According to the DDM method,
the value of a stock = [dividend x ( 1 + growth rate)] / [cost of equity - growth rate]
67 = 0.4(1.05) / r - 0.05
multiply both sides of the equation by r -0.05
67(r - 0.05) = 0.42
divide both sides of the equation by 67
r - 0.05 = 0.006269
r = 0.0563
= 5.63%
b. the cost of equity using the capm method =
risk free rate of return + beta x ( expected return - risk free return)
5% + 1.25 x (12 - 5) = 13.75%

Answer:
a) Earning per share $3.66
b) Price earning ratio 3.28 times
c) Payout ratio 20.09%
d) Time Interest earned 9.35 times
Explanation:
A) Calculation for Earnings per share
First step is to calculate the Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding using this formula.
Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding in the end)/2
Let plug in the formula
Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding= (22,400 + 36,600)/2
Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding= 29,500
Now let calculate the Earnings per share using this formula
Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred stock dividend)/Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share= (112,500 – 4,600)/29,500
Earnings per share= 107,900/29,500
Earnings per share= $3.66
B) Calculation for Price-earnings ratio enter price-earnings ratio in times
Using this formula
Price earnings ratio = Market price of 1 common share/Earnings per share
Let plug in the formula
Price earnings ratio= 12/3.66
Price earnings ratio= 3.28 times
C) Calculation for Payout ratio enter payout ratio in percentages using this formula
Payout ratio = Cash dividends/Net income
Let plug in the formula
Payout ratio= 22,600/112,500
Payout ratio= 20.09%
D) Calculation for Times interest earned enter times interest earned using this formula
Times interest earned = (Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense)/Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
Times interest earned= (112,500 + 16,100 + 21,900)/16,100
Times interest earned= 150,500/16,100
Times interest earned= 9.35 times
Therefore:
a) Earning per share $3.66
b) Price earning ratio 3.28 times
c) Payout ratio 20.09%
d) Time Interest earned 9.35 times

On December 31, 20X5, Paris Corporation acquired 60 percent of Sanlo Company's common stock for $180,000. At that date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $120,000. Of the $45,000 differential, $5,000 related to the increased value of Sanlo's inventory, $15,000 related to the increased value of its land, and $10,000 related to the increased value of its equipment that had a remaining life of five years from the date of combination. Sanlo sold all inventory it held at the end of 20X5 during 20X6. The land to which the differential related was also sold during 20X6 for a large gain. In 20X6, Sanlo reported net income of $40,000 but paid no dividends. Paris accounts for its investment in Sanlo using the equity method.
Required information
1. Based on the preceding information, the amount of goodwill reported in the consolidated financial statements prepared immediately after the combination is:
a. $9,000.
b. $15,000.
c. $27,000.
d. $45,000.
2. Based on the preceding information, what amount of differential would Paris amortize during 20X6 in its equity method journal entries?
a. $13,200.
b. $15,000.
c. $22,000.
d. $30,000.
Answer:
1. b. $15,000
2. a. $13,200
Explanation:
a. Fair Value of Consideration $180,000
Non Controlling Interest $120,000
Differential in value of Sanlo $45,000
Good will = $15,000
b. Value of Equipment = $10,000 / 5 = $2,000
$2,000 * 60% = $1,200
Value of land = $15,000 * 60% = $9,000

Maria is very proud of herself for having $3,000 in her savings account that pays 3 percent interest. She currently has a balance of $1,800 on her credit card account that charges 18 percent interest. Maria thinks she is making a wise financial decision by keeping her money in her savings account instead of paying off her credit card balance. What financial principle from Chapter One would you use to give her good advice
Answer: b. mind games and your money
Explanation:
This falls under Mental accounting where our minds play games with our money by dividing them into various accounts and uses based on our emotions.
Sunk costs play a big part in this because we get so attached to the accounts we have put a lot of effort in while neglecting those we have not or do not want to think about. Maria here is proud of her savings account so much so that she does not see the detrimental effect of not paying off the credit card debt which is rising rapidly.
Her savings account is now a sunk cost and she doesn't realize. This principle can help advise her so she understands the games her mind is playing on her and fix it before the damage gets worse.
Aaron, Inc. estimates direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs for the coming year to be $750,000 and $550,000, respectively. Aaron allocates overhead costs based on machine hours. The estimated total labor hours and machine hours for the coming year are 18,000 hours and 7000 hours, respectively. What is the predetermined overhead allocation rate? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) A) $1.36 per labor hour B) $30.56 per labor hour C) $78.57 per machine hour D) $107.14 per machine hour
Answer:
OAR = $78.57 per Machine Hour
Option c is the correct answer
Explanation:
The overhead allocation rate also known as the overhead absorption rate (OAR) is the rate at which overheads are applied to a particular unit or product or a job. It provides the basis of allocation for the overheads that cannot be directly identified with a particular unit or product. The formula for OAR is,
OAR = Total budgeted overheads / Total budgeted allocation base
In the given question, the estimated overheads are $550000 while the absorption base is machine hours and the estimated number of machine hours is 7000.
OAR = 550000 / 7000
OAR = $78.57 per Machine Hour
