A 5-year corporate bond yields 10.70%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.50%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds? (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
a.
25.40%
b.
29.03%
c.
39.25%
d.
33.98%
e.
27.38%
The correct option is C,39.25% federal tax rate
Explanation:
In determining the federal tax that one would be indifferent in choosing between the two bonds, we equate the yield of the two bonds as follows with tax element being deducted from corporate bond yield:
6.50%=10.70%*(1-t)
The t is the tax rate which is the unknown
divide both sides by 10.70%
6.50%/10.70%=1-t
0.607476636 =1-t
t=1-0.607476636
t=0.392523364 =39.25%
Mcleod, Inc. incurred fixed costs of $ 400 comma 000. Total costs, both fixed and variable, are $ 450 comma 000 when 59 comma 000 units are produced. It sold 30 comma 000 units during the year. Calculate the variable cost per unit. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Unitary variable cost= $1.72
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mcleod, Inc. incurred fixed costs of $400,000.
Total costs= $450,000
Units produced= 59,000
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed cost
Total variable cost= 450,000 - 400,000
Total variable cost= 50,000
Now, the unitary variable cost:
unitary variable cost= 50,000/29,000
unitary variable cost= $1.72

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs.
Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
During November, the company transferred 800,000 units of product to finished goods.
At the end of November, the work in process inventory consists of 187,000 units that are 60% complete with respect to conversion.
Beginning inventory had $192,465 of direct materials and $159,635 of conversion cost.
The direct material cost added in November is $1,288,035 and the conversion cost added is $3,033,065.
Beginning work in process consisted of 74,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion.
Of the units completed, 74,000 were from beginning work in process and 726,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Required:1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials.2. Compute both the direct labor cost and the direct materials cost per equivalent unit. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)3. Compute both direct labor cost and direct materials cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and ending goods in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. Direct Materials = 987,000 units , Direct Labor = 912,200 units
2.Direct Materials = $1.50 , Direct Labor = $3.50
3.
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = $ 392,700
Explanation:
First step is to determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials
Direct Materials
Note : Materials are added at beginning of the process hence, they are 100 % complete for both units categories
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 100%) = 187,000
Equivalent units of production = 987,000
Direct Labor
Note : Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process, hence we need to establish units to the extent of work done.
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 60%) = 112,200
Equivalent units of production = 912,200
The next step is to Calculate the Total Cost of Production with respect to direct labor and direct materials incurred during the period.
Direct Materials
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $192,465
Cost added during the period = $1,288,035
Total Costs = $1,480,500
Conversion
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $159,635
Cost added during the period = $3,033,065
Total Costs = $3,192,700
Then use the above data to calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct labor and direct materials.
Cost per equivalent unit. = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units
Direct Materials = $1,480,500 / 987,000 = $1.50
Direct Labor = $3,192,700 / 912,200 = $3.50
CONCLUSION :
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = (800,000 × $1.50) = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = (800,000 × $3.50) = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = (187,000 × $1.50) = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = (112,200 × $3.50) = $ 392,700

Insect control devices must and be able to retain the electrocuted insects inside the device
Answer:
Be rated for safety by the USDA
Explanation:
Presence of insect pest around areas of food production poses a lot of risk such as contamination of food which might impact negatively on public health. However, in an attempt to control these insect pests, the problem of food contamination as a result of insect infestation that we're trying to solve might still be increased if safety measures are not strictly adhered to when manufacturing and using insect control devices.
Hence, it is necessary and of utmost importance that insect control devices must be rated for safety by USDA to ensure compliance with laid down measures and protocols for safe control of insect without contamination of food.

(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
Dr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $20,000
Cr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $20,000
Dr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $30,000
Cr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $30,000
Explanation:
On 31st December 2021 the adjustment required is the difference between the cost of bond investment of $600,000 and the market value of the bonds which was $580,000, in a nutshell a unrealized loss of $20,000 is recorded.

Waterway Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,385,600 and retained earnings of $5,415,900 at December 31, 2020. Waterway later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $103,320 and $38,040, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:
b. Corrected 2020 cost of goods sold = $ 1,320,320.
b. Corrected retained earnings = $5,377,860.
Explanation:
a. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold
An overstatement of the beginning inventory has to be deducted from the reported cost of good sold since the amount of the overstatement was added to the cost of goods sold initially.
On the other hand, an overstatement of the ending inventory has to be added to the reported cost of good sold since the amount of the overstatement was deducted to the cost of goods sold initially.
Therefor, we have:
Corrected 2020 cost of goods sold = $1,385,600 - $103,320 + $38,040 = $ 1,320,320.
b. Determine the corrected amounts for December 31, 2020, retained earnings
In this case, the amount of overstatement of the ending inventory has to be deducted from the reported retained earning since the retained earning was initially overstated by that amount.
Therefore, we have:
Corrected retained earnings = $5,415,900 - $38,040 = $5,377,860
The first year after you retire you want to be able to withdraw $100,000 from your savings account. Every year after that you want to increase your withdrawals by 2%. You expect that the account will earn 6% annual interest. How much money must you have in your savings account when you retire to make sure that your money lasts for 25 years
Answer:
Total amount of money to be had in savings is $1,544,352.63
Explanation:
First withdrawal is $100,000 and is increases by 2% every year till 25 years.
The amount required in savings account can be calculated by knowing the present value of growing annuity.
Annuity = [tex](p /(r-g) *[ 1 -(1+g / 1+r)^n][/tex]
given, p = $100,000
r = 6% = 0.06
g=2% = 0.02.
n = number of periods = 25.
= (100,000 ÷ (0.06 - 0.02)) × [ 1 - (1.02 ÷ [tex]1.06)^{25[/tex] ]
= $2,500,000 × [1 - 0.382258949]
= $2,500,000 × 0.61774105
= $1,544,352.63
Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $280, the unit variable cost is $230, and the total fixed costs are $560,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $310. 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.
Break even in units sales = 11200 units
b.
Break even in units sales = 7000 units
Explanation:
Break even sales in units is the number of units needed to be sold in order for the company to reach a point where it covers all of its total cost with its total revenue and break evens. It is a point of no profit and no loss and the total revenue is equal to the total costs.
The formula to calculate break even in units is,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where, contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a.
Break even in units = 560000 / (280 - 230)
Break even in units = 11200 units
b.
Anticipated Break even in units = 560000 / (310 - 230)
Anticipated Break even in units = 7000 units
2 brothers, Joe and Bob get equal dollar amounts of securities as a gift. Joe immediately sells his securities and deposits the money to a bank account. On the other hand, Bob keeps his securities positions and holds them in a brokerage account. After 5 years, Joe has $10,000 in his bank account, while Bob has $30,000 in his brokerage account. The $20,000 difference between the account balances is explained by:
Answer:
Opportunity cost
Explanation:
The opportunity cost Bob's brother Joe $20,000. Remember, the term Opportunity cost refers to the cost (loss in this context) incurred when one forgoes an alternative best option–holding them in a brokerage account, in place for a less beneficial one.
Thus, Bob chose the best alternative over his brother.

In each of the following cases, what is the effect on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve? An increase in firm costs A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward. An increase in the money supply A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve downward. C. shifts the SRAS curve upward. An increase in consumption A. shifts the SRAS curve upward. B. does not shift the SRAS curve. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward.
Answer: 1. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward.
2. A. does not shift the SRAS curve.
3. B. does not shift the SRAS curve.
Explanation:
1. When Firm costs rise, the input cost for Producers rises and they respond by reducing production so as to reduce the cost of production. This reduction causes a reduction in Supply that forces the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve to shift left (upward).
2. This change in the Money Supply means that there will be more money for households to spend. This increases demand but does not have any direct influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
3. An Increase in consumption means that there is greater demand for goods and services in an Economy. Indirectly this will cause producers to ramp up production to meet these needs but directly, there is no influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.

Assume there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area in which sea levels are rising. An additional 1000 homes are above the flood zone and at less risk. A levee could be built to prevent the rise in sea level from affecting the homes. It is worth $20,000 per home in the flood zone to have the levee built. It is worth $5,000 per home not in the flood zone to have the levee built. The levee costs $22,000,000 to build. Which of these makes the most economic sense?
A. The government should leave this to the free market.
B. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
C. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. However the benefits do not exceed the costs anyway so there is no need for the government to intervene.
D. The free market will have some difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival. However it is excludable. So there is only a partial argument for government intervention here.
Answer: The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that if there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area whereby the sea levels are rising and there's an additional 1000 homes that are above the flood zone and are at less risk. Since the levee costs $22,000,000 to build, the best thing to do economic sense will be that the free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable.
It should be noted that in a free market, decisions are made by individuals through price signals and forces of demand and supply. Therefore since this is a public good as it is non rival and non excludeable, there will be need for the intervention of the government in order to collect taxes from the homeowners.

You are seeking a bank loan for $12000 and go to Prosper Bank and to Skyline Bank to see which loan has a lower rate. Your plan is to open a restaurant, which is quite risky. Prosper Bank expects that it could recover $10,000 if you defaulted while Skyline thinks it would only recoup $9000. However, Skyline puts your probability of repayment at 97% while Prosper only has it at 96%. Which loan has the lower interest rate? Assume both banks are aiming to earn 6%.
Answer:
SKYLINE = 6.96%, PROSPER = 6.94%.
Explanation:
So, in the question above we are given the following parameters or information or data as;
=> Amount of bank loan been seeked for = $12000.
=> "Prosper Bank expects that it could recover $10,000 if you defaulted while Skyline thinks it would only recoup $9000."
=> " Skyline puts the probability of repayment at 97% while Prosper only has it at 96%."
=>" both banks are aiming to earn 6%."
So, for both banks we will be making use of the formula below:
L × (1 + RER) = POR × L × (1 + IRCr) + (1 - POR) × RCD.
Where L = loan, RER = required earning rate, POR = probability of repayment, IRCr = interest rate charged and RCD = Recovery in case of default.
(A). FOR PROSPER BANK:
12000 × ( 1 + 6%) = 96% × 12000 × (1 + IRCr) + (1 - 96% ) × 10000.
SOLVING FOR IRCr, we have;
interest rate charged = 6.94%.
(B). FOR SKYLINE BANK;
12000 × (1 + 6%) = 97% × 12000 × (1 + IRcr ) + (1 - 97%) × 9000.
IRCr =6.96%.
Mr. Hobbes Bed & Breakfast is considering the replacement of some old equipment. The new equipment will cost $86,000 including delivery and installation. The old equipment to be replaced has a book value of $60,200 and can be sold pre-tax for $61,200. If the firm’s effective tax rate is 25%, compute the net investment.
Answer:
$25,550
Explanation:
For computing the net investment first we have to find out the loss or gain on sale of old equipment which is shown below:
Sale value = $61,200
Less: Book value of old equipment = $60,200
Gain = $1000
Now
Tax on gain is
= $1,000 × 25%
= $250
So, the net gain is
= $1,000 - $250
= $750
Now the net investment is
= Cost of new equipment - sale value pre tax + net gain
= $86,000 - $61,200 + $750
= $25,550
Answer:
Net Investment = $25,550
Explanation:
Given:
Sale value (old equipment) = $61,200
Book value of old equipment = $60,200
New equipment cost = $86,000
Effective tax rate = 25%
Computation
Gain on sale = $61,200 - $60,200
Gain on sale = $1,000
Amount of tax on gain = $1000 × 25%
Amount of tax on gain = $250
Net Gain = Gain on sale - Amount of tax on gain
Net Gain = $750
Net Investment = Cost of new equipment - (Sale value - Net Gain)
Net Investment = $86,200 - (61,200 - 750)
Net Investment = $25,550
lyssa and Crystal are roommates. They spend most of their time studying (of course), but they leave some time for their favorite activities: making pizza and brewing root beer. Alyssa takes 3 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza. Crystal takes 7 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hours to make a pizza. Alyssa's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , and Crystal's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , has an absolute advantage in brewing root beer, and has a comparative advantage in brewing root beer. If Alyssa and Crystal trade foods with each other, will trade away pizza in exchange for root beer. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms of gallons of root beer. The highest price at which pizza can be traded that would make both roommates better off is of root beer, and the lowest price that makes both roommates better off is of root beer per pizza.
Answer:
a. 1.5 pizza
b. 1.39 pizza
c. Alyssa has an absolute advantage in brewing beer
d. Crystal has a comparative advantage in brewing beer
e. Crystal will easily trade away pizza for root beer
f. there's no limit to the highest price
g. lowest price is 0.719 beer root/pizza
Explanation:
Alyssa takes 3 hrs to brew a gallon of root beers and 2 hrs to make a pizza
Crystal takes 7 hrs to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hrs to make a pizza
Alyssa make 1 gallon/3 hrs = 0.33 gallons/hr of beer, and the same way makes 0.5 pizza/hr
Crystal makes 0.143 gallon/hr of beer, and 0.2 pizza/hr
for Alyssa, 0.33 gallons/hr = 0.5 pizza/hr, therefore
1 gallon of beer = 0.5/0.33 = 1.51 pizza
for crystal, 1 gallon of beer = 0.2/0.143 = 1.39 pizza
price of pizza:
Alyssa = 0.662 root beer/pizza
Crystal = 0.719 root beer/pizza
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 116,000 $ 58,000 $ 174,000 Variable expenses 35,800 7,700 43,500 Contribution margin $ 80,200 $ 50,300 130,500 Fixed expenses 83,250 Net operating income $ 47,250 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company? 2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales? 3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Claimjumper Makeover
Total Sales:
Claimjumper= $116,000
Makeover= $58,000
Total= $174,000
Variable expenses:
Claimjumper= $35,800
Makeover= $7,700
Total= $43,500
Contribution margin:
Claimjumper= $80,200
Makeover= $50,300
Total= $130,500
Fixed expenses 83,250
Sales proportion:
Claimjumper= 116,000/174,000= 0.67
Makeover= 58,000/174,000= 0.33
Variable cost proportion:
Claimjumper= 35,800/43,500= 0.82
Makeover= 7,700/43,500= 0.18
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for the company:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)/ weighted average selling price
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 130,500/174,000
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 83,250/0.75
Break-even point (dollars)= $111,000
Finally, we structure the income statement:
Sales= 111,000
Total variable costs= (111,000*0.25)= (27,750)
Income statement:
Sales:
Claimjumper= 111,000*0.67= 74,370
Makeover= 111,000*0.33= 36,630
Variable costs:
Claimjumper= 27,750*0.82= (22,755)
Makeover= 27,750*0.18= (4,995)
Contribution margin= 83,250
Fixed costs= 83,250
Net operating income= 0

The building was subject to a $20,000 mortgage that was assumed by The Worthington Corp. What was The Worthington Corp.'s basis in the building?
Answer:
$80,000
Explanation:
Since Worthington Corp. assumed the the $20,000 mortgage which the building was subject to, the Worthington Corp.'s basis in the building is the adjusted basis of the building.
Therefore, Worthington Corp.'s basis in the building is $80,000 which is the adjusted basis of the building.
