Answer:
17.83%
Explanation:
The computation of required rate of return is shown below:-
Required rate of return = ((Expected dividend ÷ (Current Stock price × (1 - Flotation cost as a percentage of issue price)) + Growth rate)) × 100
= ((Dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ Current Price of stock × (1 - Flotation cost as a percentage of issue price)) + Growth rate))) × 100
= ($3 × (1.04) ÷ $24 × (1 - 0.06) + 0.04) × 100
= ($3.12 ÷ $22.56 + 0.04) × 100
= (0.138297872 + 0.04) × 100
= 17.82978723
or
= 17.83%
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
Differential profit Profit = $40,000
Explanation:
The differential operating profit is the difference between the operating profit before the introduction of the product and after the introduction of the new product
Profit = Revenue - costs
Profit before the introduction of the new product
= 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 = 500,000
Profit after the introduction of the new product
New revenue = (2,000,000 + 200,000) = 2,200,000
Cumulative cost = 1,500,000 + 160,000 = 1,660,000
Profit = 2,200,000 - 1,660,000 = 540000
Differential profit Profit = 540,000 - 500,000= $40,000
Scora, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the quarter ending March 31. It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200 Prepare a sales budget for the months of January, February, and March.
Answer:
Sale budget January= $50,000
Sales budget February= $130,000
Sales budget March= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200
The sales budget is a simple multiplication between the selling price per unit and the number of units sold.
Sale budget January= 1,000*50= $50,000
Sales budget February= 2,600*50= $130,000
Sales budget March= 1,200*50= $60,000
A store sells 20 ice cream bars per hour for $4 each, but on discount days, it sells 35 ice cream bars per hour for $3. Based on these two data points, what would be the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold?
Answer:
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15
Explanation:
In order to calculate the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold we would have to calculate the following formula:
Slope= change in yaxis( vertical)/change in xaxis(horizontal)
Slope= change in price/change in quantity demand
Slope=P2-P1/Q2-Q1
Slope=3-4/35-20
Slope=-1/15
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15

The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,980 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $660 and $460 for materials, and charges of $560 and $740 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
Predetermine overhead rate as a percentage of direct labor cost is 120%
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we first need to determine the total overheads under the balance of $3980 for two jobs.
The total cost of both jobs which are uncompleted equals,
Total cost both jobs = (660 + 560) + (460 + 740)
Total cost both jobs = 1220 + 1200 = $2420
Thus, the overhead cost involved in both jobs is,
Total Overhead cost = 3980 - 2420 = $1560
This total overhead of $1560 has been absorbed on the basis of a predetermine overhead rate based on the direct labor cost. The total direct labor cost involved under both uncompleted jobs is,
Total direct labor cost both jobs = 560 +740 = $1300
So, the predetermined overhead rate is,
Overhead rate = Total overheads / total direct labor cost
Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300
Overhead rate = $1.2 per $1 of direct labor cost
Expressed as a percentage of direct labor cost, it is:
% Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300 * 100 = 120% of direct labor cost
Mayfair Co. allows select customers to make purchases on credit. Its other customers can use either of two credit cards: Zisa or Access. Zisa deducts a 3% service charge for sales on its credit card and credits the bank account of Mayfair immediately when credit card receipts are deposited. Mayfair deposits the Zisa credit card receipts each business day. When customers use Access credit cards, Mayfair accumulates the receipts for several days before submitting them to Access for payment. Access deducts a 2% service charge and usually pays within one week of being billed. Mayfair completes the following transactions in June.

A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.50 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.50 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $51,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $55,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,500 units and sales of 4,350 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
$15,525
Explanation:
Calculation for ending inventory under variable costing
Using this formula
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced −Units sold
Thus,
= 0 units + 5,500 units −4,350 units
= 1,150 units
Formula for Value of ending inventory under variable costing
= Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost
= 1,150 units × $13.50 per unit
= $15,525

Hurricane Industries had a net income of $141,150 and paid 35 percent of this amount to shareholders in dividends. During the year, the company sold $87,750 in new common stock. What was the company's cash flow to stockholders?
Answer:
$38,347
Explanation:
Calculation for Hurricane Industries cash flow to stockholders
Formula for Cash flow to stockholders:
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Net new equity raised
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Dividends paid =$141,150
Net new equity raised=$87,750
Hence:
Dividends = $141,150 * .35= $49,403
New net equity = $87,750
Cash flow to stockholders = $87,750-$49,403
= $38,347
Therefore the company's cash flow to stockholders will be $38,347
You own a farm, you hire labor and capital to produce apples. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 15 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 45. The market wage for labor is $8. If you are using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
We can say the Optimal combination of inputs can be expressed as the ratio of marginal productivity of labor to the marginal productivity of capital is equal to the ratio of price of labor(wage) to the price of capital(RENT).
Lets denote:
marginal productivity of labor = MPL
marginal productivity of capital = MPC
Wage= W
Rent= R
Then the formula will be
[tex]\frac{MPL}{MPC}=\frac{W}{R}[/tex]
Workings:
Lets put in the values in the formula
[tex]\frac{15}{45} = \frac{8}{R}[/tex]
We have to find out R(Rent)
R= 8x3
R= $24
You want to buy a house and will need to borrow $255,000. The interest rate on your loan is 5.89 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 25 years. What are your monthly mortgage payments
Answer: $1,626
Explanation:
A Mortgage payment is a type of annuity so the Present Value of an Annuity formula can be used to calculate this.
The Period is 12 months so adjustments need to be made to the interest rate and the period.
Period.
= 25 years * 12 months
= 300
Interest Rate
= 5.89/12
= 0.4908%
Present Value of the Annuity is the mortgage amount of $255,000
Present Value of Annuity is,
P = PMT ( 1 - ( 1 + r)^-n) / r
Where,
P = Present Value
PMT = payment per period
r = Interest rate
n= no. of periods
255,000 = PMT ( 1 - (1+0.4908%)^-³⁰⁰) / 0.4908%
255,000 = 156.8456 PMT
PMT = 255,000/156.8456
= $1,625.80
= $1,626
Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you choose will be awarded today. The stock is currently trading for $ 64 per share. Ignore transaction costs. a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value? b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Answer:
a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?
I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)
b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.
Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
Answer:
a. 14,300 units
b. 9,100 units
Explanation:
a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $370 - $300
= $70
Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $70
= 14,300 units
b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $410 - $300
= $110
Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $110
= 9,100 units
So, we have applied the above formula.
Nordstrom Inc. reports net income of $600 million for its fiscal year ended January 2016. At the beginning of that fiscal year, Nordstrom had $9,245 million in total assets. By fiscal year ended January 2016, total assets had decreased to $7,698 million.
What is Nordstrom's ROA?
Answer:
The answer is 7.1%
Explanation:
ROA means Return on Asset. It is one of the profitability ratios. It tells us how profitable a company is in using its assets. It is the rate of return on assets owned by the business and it is expressed as a percentage. The formula for calculating it is:
Net profit ÷ total assets.
In this the question we have the beginning and the ending total assets, what we need to do is to find the average i.e ($9,245 million + $7,698 million) / 2 =$8,472.5 million
Therefore, Nordstrom's ROA is:
$600 million / $8,472.5 million
= 7.1%
S13-15 (similar to) Young Corporation discovered in 2019 that it had incorrectly recorded in 2018 a cash payment of $ 95 comma 000 for utilities expense. The correct amount of the utilities expense was $ 20 comma 000. Requirements 1. Determine the effect of the error on the accounting equation in 2018. 2. How should this error be reported in the 2019 financial statements?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The effect of the error on the accounting equation in 2018 is shown below:-
Error utilities expenses = Correct utilities expenses in 2018 - Wrongly entered utilities expenses
= $95,000 - $20,000
= $75,000
Here due to an increase in utilities expenses, so the net income will be decreased.
Now, the Decrease in net income, there will be decrease in stockholders equity
2. The error should be reported for the year 2019 financial statements as a prior period adjustment. It is an adjustment to the beginning balance in the retained earning account
And it will be an addition of the $20,000

13. Financing and Cash outflow: Purchase of treasury stock.
14. Operating and Cash outflow: Payment of an account payable.
15. Investing and Cash inflow: Sale of equipment for cash.
Explanation:
A statement of cash flow is a financial statement that gives the aggregate cash inflow and cash outflow in an organization during an accounting period. The three categories of statement of cash flows are investing activities, financing activities, and operating activities.
1. Investing activities are essentially the cash activities with respect to non-current assets such as sale of equipment for cash.
2. Financing activities refers to cash activities with respect to owners’ equity and non-current liabilities such as purchase of treasury stock.
3. Operating activities are mainly the cash activities with respect to net income such as payment of employee salaries.
A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity
assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000
liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000
both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe can generate expected cash flows of $10,000 a year forever. However, you recognize that those cash flows are uncertain. a. Suppose you believe that the beta of the firm is 0.4. How much is the firm worth if the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 11%
Answer:
PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235
Explanation:
To calculate the worth of the firm, we first need to determine the required rate of return of this firm. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the required rate of return to be,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.04 + 0.4 * (0.11 - 0.04)
r = 0.068 or 6.8%
As the firm is expected to generate a constant cash flow forever, it can be treated as a perpetuity. To calculate the value of the firm, we use the present value of perpetuity. The formula for present value of perpetuity is,
PV = Cash flow / r
Where,
r is the required rate of returnPV or value of the firm = 10000 / 0.068
PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15
Machining Machine hours $110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000
Packing Orders $30,000 500 150 350
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 16,000/(40+25+15)= $200 per setup
Machining= 110,000/ (5,000 + 1,000 + 4,000= $11 per machine hour
Packing= 30,000/ (500 + 150 + 350)= $30 per order
As a manager your organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. You have to recruit and select a manager for a group of employees responsible for several related products. You have just read about Fiedler’s Contingency model and decided to use the LPC score to aid you in selecting a leader for the management group. You have interviewed four candidates for the job (Erin, Josh, Michael, Tabitha) and the scores for each of the candidates were Erin=high LPC, Josh=moderately high LPC, Michael=middle LPC, Tabitha=low LPC. Which of the candidates would you hire?A. ErinB. JoshC. MichaelD. TabithaE. None of these.
Answer:
C. Michael
Explanation:
The least preferred coworker scale is a method used to determine the leadership style of individuals. It was developed by Fred Fiedler and American scholar.
When a person gives positive feedback on coworkers they are more relationship oriented and get a high LPC score.
For those that give negative feedback on coworkers, they are task oriented and will get low LPC scores.
Relationship oriented style is used when employees are experienced and know what to do, while task oriented leadership is needed when the team is less experienced or results need to be delivered in a short time.
The organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. So this requires a mix of both relationship and task oriented leadership to adapt to changing organisational needs.
Michael is the best option with middle LPC score.

The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 230 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance $ 249 F
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
230 tune-ups were completed during the week
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance of $ 249 F
1) First, we need to calculate the actual hours:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
249= (2.5*230 - actual quantity)*36
249= 20,700 - 36AQ
-20,451= -36AQ
20,451/36= Actual quantity
568= actual quantity
2) We need to calculate the actual rate:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
900= (36 - Actual Rate)*568
900= 20,448 - 568Actual Rate
19,548/568= Actual Rate
$34.42= Actual Rate
The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.
