On January 1, 2016, Learned, Inc., issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31 and mature on December 31, 2035.
REQUIRED:
A) Using the present value tables, calculate the proceeds (issue price) of Learned, Inc.’s bonds on January 1, 2016, assuming that the bonds were sold to provide a market rate of return to the investor.
B) Assume instead that the proceeds were $72,400,000. Use the horizontal model (or write the journal entry) to record the payment of semi-annual interest and the related premium amortization on June 30, 2016, assuming that the premium of $2,400,000 is amortized on a straight-line basis.
C) If the premium in PART B were amortized using the compound interest method, would interests expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 be more than, less than, or equal to the interest expense reported using the straightline method of premium amortization? Explain.
D) In reality, the difference between the stated interest rate and the market rate would be substantially less than 2% . The dramatic difference in the problem was designed so that you could use present value tables to answer PART A. What causes the stated rate to be different from the market rate, and why is the difference likely to be much less than depicted in the problem?

Answers

Answer:

A) $61,654,600

B) June 30, 2016, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 4,840,000

Dr Premium on bonds payable 60,000

    Cr Cash 4,900,000

C) If you use the effective interest rate, the bond premium is higher, so the actual interest expense would be lower:

June 30, 2016, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 4,756,406

Dr Premium on bonds payable 143,594

    Cr Cash 4,900,000

D) The actual difference between the coupon rate and the effective interest rate (with a $72,400,000 issue price) = 14% (coupon rate) - 13.93% = 0.07%.

The bond's issue price is generally determined by the market rate, but sometimes a company might believe that the interest rate applicable to them is actually different. A company might under estimate the riskiness of their operations, but the market doesn't. Generally the market rate is correct. So any variation in the coupon rate is due to a mistake by the firm. Usually companies do not make huge mistakes, if they miss on the coupon rate it generally is not significant.

Explanation:

issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31, each coupon = $4,900,000

bonds market price = PV of maturity value + PV of coupons

PV of maturity value = $70,000,000 x 0.04603 = $3,222,100 PV of coupons = $4,900,000 x (8% annuity, 40 periods) = $4,900,000 x 11.925 = $58,432,500total issue price = $61,654,600

if instead the issue price was $72,400,000 (resulting in a $2,400,000 premium), then the premium would be amortized by $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000 during each coupon payment

if the effective interest method, (not the compound interest method), was used to amortize bond premium, then we first need to calculate the effective interest rate:

$72,400,000 - $70,000,000 = $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000

$4,900,000 + $60,000 = $4,960,000 / {($72,400,000 + $70,000,000) / 2} = 0.0696629

bond premium discount using effective interest rate = ($72,400,000 x 0.0696629) - $4,900,000 = $5,043,594 - $4,900,000 = $143,594

Answers

Answer: a. 31.304. b. 1525. c. 1589.17

Explanation:

Lead time = 5 weeks

Standard deviation of weekly demand = 14 pints

a. ✓L × Standard deviation Weekly

= ✓5 × 14

= 2.236 × 14

= 31.304

b. Average demand during the 5-week lead time will be:

= Leadtime × weekly demand

= 5 × 305

= 1525

c. Note that the Z value at 96% service level is 2.05

R=dL+z*sd*sqrt(L)= (305 × 5)+ (2.05 × 14 × ✓5)

= 1525 + 64.17

= 1589.17

Answers

Answer:

Purchases= $252,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $400,000

Cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales.

Beginning inventory= $80,000

Ending inventory= $72,000

To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= (400,000*0.65) + 72,000 - 80,000

Purchases= $252,000

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income is $ 15,400.00  

Explanation:

The company's operating income if it sells 5,300 units is calculated thus:

sales  (5,300*$319,200/5,700)                             $296,800.00  

variable expenses($188,100/5700*5300)          ($174,900.00)

Fixed expenses                                                    ($106,500.00)

Net operating expenses                                      $ 15,400.00  

The net operating expenses dropped when 5,300 units were sold because the higher the volume, the more the contribution towards covering fixed expenses

Answer:

Net operating income= $15,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (5,700 units) $319,200

Variable expenses 188,100

Contribution margin 131,100

Fixed expenses 106,500

Net operating income $ 24,600

Sales now= 5,300 units

First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 131,100/5,700= $23

Contribution margin for 5,300:

Total contribution margin= 23*5,300= $121,900

Fixed costs= 106,500

B) If the safe rate of interest is 10 percent and you believe that investing in Grimm carries no risk?C) If the safe rate of interest is 5 percent, but your risk premium is 3 percent?
D) Repeat parts a to c, assuming that Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, but the expected price is unchanged..

Answers

Answer:

(a) $100.00

(b) $95.45

(c) $97.22

(di) $95.24

(dii) $90.91

(diii) $92.59

Explanation:

Brothers Grimm corporation is responsible for the manufacturing of gingerbread houses. During a one year period, they are expected to pay a dividend of $5 and to sell each shares for $100. The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows

a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is

= ( 5+100)/( 1+5/100)

= 105/ ( 1+0.05)

= 105/1.05

= $100.00

b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be

= (5+100)/(1+10/100)

= 105/( 1+0.1)

= 105/1.1

= 95.454

= $95.45( to 2 decimal places)

c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is

= (5+100)/(1+(5+3)/100)

= 105/( 1+8/100)

= 105/(1+0.08)

= 105/1.08

= $97.222

= $97.22 (to 2 decimal places)

d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:

i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is

= 100/( 1+5/100)

= 100/( 1+0.05)

= 100/1.05

= $95.238

= $95.24 ( to 2 decimal places)

ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is

= 100/( 1+10/100)

= 100/( 1+ 0.1)

= 100/1.1

= $90.909

= $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)

iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated as

= 100/(1+8/100)

= 100/(1+0.08)

= 100/1.08

= $92.592

= $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places)

Share valuation is done based on quantitative techniques and the value of a share will vary depending on market demand and supply.

What do you mean by share value?

Valuation of shares is a process of knowing the value of a company's shares. The stock price of listed companies trading publicly can be easily identified.

The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows

a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is

[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{5}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.05)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.05}\\\\= \$100.00[/tex]

b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be:

[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{10}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.1)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.1}\\\\= \$95.454[/tex]

c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is

[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{(5+8)}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.08)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.08}\\\\= \$97.222\\[/tex]

d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:

i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $95.238.

ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)

iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated to be $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places).

Thus, the value of each share under the specified rate of dividend and risk premium is calculated.

Purchased $5,000 of equipment, paying $1,000 cash and signing a promissory note for $4,000. Received $9,000 in cash for consulting services performed in January. Purchased $1,500 of supplies on account; all of the supplies were used in January. Provided consulting services on account in the amount of $16,000. Paid $750 on account. Paid $3,000 to employees for work performed during January. Received a bill for utilities for January of $3,400; the bill remains unpaid. What is the amount of total revenue to be reported on the income statement for the month of January?

Answers

Answer:

The total or gross revenue for this company on the income statement would be the sum of:

$9,000 received in cash for consulting services performed in January$16,000 worth of consulting services that will be paid on account.

So the total revenue will be $25,000.

This is because revenue is different from cash: as long as the sales are made, they are counted as revenue even if they are on account, and no cash payment has been made.

Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) The Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $100,000, and it is a zero growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 8.8%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00. Refer to the data for the Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC). Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 50% debt and 50% equity. If it makes this change, its resulting market value would be $820,000. What would be its new stock price per share?

Answers

Answer:

The new stock price per share would be $62

Explanation:

In order to calculate the new stock price per share we would have to calculate first the value of the firm as follows:

value of the firm=value of equity+value of debt

value of the firm=(60*10,000)+$200,000

value of the firm=$800,000

If the company makes 50% debt and 50% equity, the market value will increase to $820,000 that is value of equity=$820,000-$200,000=$620,000

Therefore, new stock price per share will be=$620,000/10,000

new stock price per share=$62

Phionia Phelps has developed a gourmet cat food. Not only is this food eagerly eaten by the most finicky felines, but it is specially formulated to prevent the many health problems of aging cats. Phionia has been making the food on her kitchen range and selling it at $250 per case only to close acquaintances who are also cat lovers. One of her wealthy acquaintances has now offered to invest in her business if Phionia will begin selling the product through her website. However, the investor wants Phionia to produce a budget for the first six months of operation. Based on her experience to date, Phionia predicts the following sales in cases:
Each case of Finicky Feline Gourmet Cat Dinner requires 5 pounds of prime lamb meat, 10 pounds of short grain Chinese rice, 2 pounds of wild caught Alaskan salmon, and 1 pound of secret vitamins and supplements. Phionia plans to maintain end-of-month inventories equal to 10 percent of the next month's projected sales, to meet expected sales growth. All the ingredients inventories are to be maintained at 5 percent of the production needs for the next month, but not to exceed 1,000 pounds of any one ingredient. January will begin with all inventories at the projected levels. Phionia has the following price quotes good for the following year:
The production process requires direct labor at two skill levels: (1) ingredient preparation, $18 per hour, and (2) cooking and canning, $24 per hour. Two workers are willing to work part days if there is not enough demand for them to work full time. lt takes one hour to process one batch. Because of preparation and cleanup time, only six batches can be produced per day. Each batch produces enough food to fill 100 cases. Manufacturing overhead is $6,000 fixed per month plus $15 per case.

1. Prepare the following budgets for the period. January through June:________.
a. Sales budget in dollars.
b. Production budget in units.
c. Direct materials purchases budget in pounds.
d. Direct materials purchases budget in dollars.
e. Direct manufacturing labor budget in dollars.
2. Comment on the viability of this business and the advisability of the investor making a $50,000 investment to get it started.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

Sales budget = $ 250 per case * 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months

= $ 18,000,000

b. Production budget in units = 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months

= 72,000 cases

Production budget including 10 percent inventories

= 72000 + 100*6*20*10%

= 73200 cases

c. Direct materials purchases budget in pounds including 5% inventories

Lamb = 5 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 369,000 pounds

Rice Lamb = 10 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 738,000 pounds

Salmon = 2 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 147,600 pounds

Vitamins = 1 pound per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 73,800 pounds

d. Direct materials purchases budget in dollars = 369000*15 + 738000*1.2 + 147600*24 + 73800*45

= $ 1,328,400

e. Manufacturing labor budget in dollars = 1 hours per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days per month * 6 months * ($ 18 per hour for ingredient preparation + $ 24 per hour for cooking and canning ) * 2 workers

= $ 60,480

2. The business requires an investment of $ 1,328,400 + 60,480

= $ 1,388,880 over six months.

This translates to monthly investment of $ 231,480

Therefore $ 50,000 investment is too small to begin with.

Your coin collection contains 59,1952 silver dollars. If your grandparents purchased them for their face value when they were new, how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2053, assuming they appreciate at an annual rate of 6.6 percent?

Answers

Answer:

The collection is worth $37,525.78.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your coin collection contains 59 1952 silver dollars.

Interest rate= 6.6%

Number of years= 2053 - 1952= 101 years

To calculate the value of the collection today, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 59*(1.066^101)

FV= $37,525.78

A. Product managers have relatively little authority
B. Product managers are short-term in their orientation
C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products
D. Product managers can assume profit-and-loss responsibility for the performance of the product line
E. Product managers have line responsibility over sales managers

Answers

Answer:

C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products

Explanation:

The position of Product manager is an all-encompassing role. He is tasked with the job of ensuring the members of the team are up and doing; he ensures each member of the team supplies considerable input to the end that the team effort can be evidently seen. The Product manager is also saddled with the responsibility of ensuring swift communication amidst all parties; he splits complex tasks into easily understandable processes. He sets the target and goal for each team member; he is the one who accesses and optimizes team members' performances.

Despite and inspite of these varying responsibilities, the biggest and most vital task of the Product manager is to research products, assess the market (customers), create services/products which are innovative and solve critical problems thereby, adding value to the customer base. The more information he has about the market and need of the customers, the better he is able to tailor the products and services rendered to address those needs. Overall, the Product manager due to his extensive involvement and oversight, he ensures that the chances of product failure is significantly reduced.

In the light of the explanation above, Option C. (Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products) is the correct answer.

Lolita, a Mexican business woman, came to Redmond Washington to negotiate a business deal with Microsoft. Lolita, assuming business was formal, dressed in a formal suit, nylons, and high heels. She met with the Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Microsoft, Kevin Johnson, and greeted him with, "Good morning Vice President Johnson." Kevin was dressed in jeans and sneakers and addressed Lolita with, "Hello Lolita, nice to finally meet you in person." Lolita was offended by this greeting. This example illustrates which assumption about intercultural communication?

Answers

Answer:

b) all of these are true.

Explanation:

The scenario described in the question illustrates differences in communication rules that suffer from different cultural influences, this is what we perceive when Mexican Lolita may have been surprised that the American Kevin Johnson communicated with her in a more informal way at a formal work meeting. , and therefore felt offended, as he took into account the type of cultural communication in his country of origin, disregarding the intercultural differences in communication that occur in different countries.

So the ideal is that in a case like the one described in the question, where there are negotiations for business deal with international companies, employees are prepared to relate professionally with different types of people, observing the type of communication context, understanding that there are differences intercultural experiences that imply in the way people relate to each other even in the work environment, and above all, maintain ethics and respect for each and every culture different from yours.

If the Fed carries out an open market operation and sells U.S. government securities, as long as the federal funds interest rate remains within the corridor the federal funds rate ________ and the quantity of reserves ________. Group of answer choices rises; decreases falls; increases falls; decreases rises; increases

Answers

Answer:

rises; decreases

Explanation:

When the Fed sells US securities, it is engaging in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that they are trying to cool down the economy and lower inflation rate by reducing the money supply. This will lead to an increase in the federal funds rate and the whole economy's interest rates.

Since the Fed absorbs money from the banks and other investors, the quantity of banks' reserves decreases, which leads to less loans and higher interest rates charged.

Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $10,000 each year for tuition, $2,500 each year for textbooks, and $10,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $20,000 per year. Assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home. What is your opportunity cost for four years of college?

Answers

Answer:

The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.

Explanation:

Here, it is clear that I will not go to the job, so going to university is the only option left. Now, the loss of the job income is also an opportunity cost with an amount $20,000 which will aggregated with the University specific costs.

University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * (Tuition Cost + Textbooks + Job Opportunity loss)

The room and board cost is common between college and the university so it must not be considered for the decision making.

By putting values, we have:

University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * ($10,000 + $2,500 + $20,000)

University Specific cost for 4 Years = $130,000 for the four years

The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.

For better understanding of relevant costing (Opportunity cost analysis), consider the following question:

Adjusting Entries for Trading Investments at Fair Value:

December 31, 2020:

Debit Investment in Muninger $333

Credit Gain on Investment $333

To record the $1 per share gain on investment (500 - 167 shares).

Debit Loss on Investment $700

Credit Investment in Tatma $700

To record the $1 per share loss on investment (700 shares).

Explanation:

Investments held for trading are short-term investments in debt and stock securities.  They are accounted for at fair value.

This implies that at the end of each reporting period, the difference between the book value of the investment and the fair value is adjusted either as gain or loss on investment.  This adjusting entry increases or reduces the book value of the investment to its fair value.  The gain or loss remains an unrealized gain or loss until the investment is sold.

An all-equity business has 100 million shares outstanding selling for $20 a share. Management believes that interest rates are unreasonably low and decides to execute a leveraged recapitalization (a recap). It will raise $1 billion in debt and repurchase 50 million shares. a. What is the market value of the firm prior to the recap? What is the market value of equity? b. Assuming the Irrelevance Proposition holds, what is the market value of the firm after the recap? What is the market value of equity? c. Do equity shareholders appear to have gained or lost as a result of the recap? Please explain. d. Assume now that the recap increases total firm cash flows, which adds $100 million to the value of the firm. Now what is the market value of the firm? What is the market value of equity? e. Do equity shareholders appear to have gained or lost as a result of the recap in this revised scenario?

Answers

Answer:

a) Market Value = $100 million × $20 = $2,000 million = $2 billion

Market value of equity would remain same = $2 billion

b) Market value would remain same after recap. Only market capitalization would reduce to half.

Market value of equity = 1 billion

c) Buying back shares increases the stock price which demonstrates the faith of the company in its work. But creditors have capital gains.

d) After recap and cash flow firm total value has increased to $2 billion + $100 Million = $2.1 billion and market value of equity has increased from $20 to $22 . ($1000 + $100)/50 = $22.

e) Equity shareholders have gained due to increase in there share value
