A financial advisor offers you two investment opportunities. Both offer a rate of return of 11%. Investment A promises to pay you $450 in 1 year, $650 in 2 years, and $850 in 3 years. Investment B promises to pay you $850 in 1 year, $x in 2 years, and $450 in 3 years. What must x be to make you indifferent between Investing A and B
Answer:
The value of x is 566.36
Explanation:
The value of x should be such that the present value of both Investments is the same when discounted at a rate of 11%. To calculate the present value, we use the following formula,
Present Value = CF 1 / (1+r) + CF 2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n
Where,
CF represents Cash flowr represents the discount rateSo, we equate both the present value of Investment A and B to calculate the value of x.
Present Value of A = Present Value of B
450/(1.11) + 650/(1.11)^2 + 850/(1.11)^3 = 850/(1.11) + x/(1.11)^2 + 450/(1.11)^3
1554.472661 = 765.7657658 + x/(1.11)^2 + 329.0361216
1554.472661 - 765.7657658 - 329.0361216 = x/(1.11)^2
459.6707736 * (1.11)^2 = x
x = 566.3603602 rounded off to 566.36
Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for students to employ capital budgeting techniques using time value of money concepts to determine the acceptability of large dollar value assets. Assignment Steps Scenario: A firm has projected free cash flows of $575,000 for Year 1, $625,000 for Year 2, and 650,000 for Year 3, $725,000 for Year 4, and 850,000 for Year 5. The projected terminal value at the end of Year 5 is $6,000,000. The firm's Weighted Average cost of Capital (WACC) is 12.5%. Create a Microsoft® Excel® document to determine the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) value of the firm based on the information provided above. Recommend acceptance of this project using net present value criteria using a Microsoft® Word® document. Include up to what level of initial investment you would accept the project? Why? Give a complete explanation of up to 350 words. Display your calculations. Coursehero
Answer:
Present Value 5,715,331.32
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital structure of the company
Accepting a project with a higher cost will not generate enought cashflow to sustain the patyment of debt and the return expected from the stockholders therefore, will generate a economic result and investor will leave the company for other which can sustain their desired return.
Explanation:
We are going to discount the yearly cash-flow at the given rate of 12.50%
then, the terminal value which is the present value of the future period will also be discounted at this rate.
The sum of all this will be the present value of the firm.
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}$Year&$Cash Flow&$Discounted\\1&575000&511111.11\\2&625000&493827.16\\3&650000&456515.77\\4&725000&452613.93\\5&850000&471689.61\\$terminal&6000000&3329573.74\\Present&Value&5715331.32\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
The formula we use the present value of a lump sum:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital estructure of the company

Chocolates R' Us, Inc is owned equally by Desi and his wife Lucy, each of whom hold 550 shares in the company. Lucy plans to reduce her ownership in the company, with the company planning to redeem 475 of her shares for $10,000 per share on December 31 of this year. Assume Desi and Lucy are not getting along and have separated due to marital discord, but are not legally separated. Because they no longer talk to each other, they communicate only through their accountant. Lucy wants to argue that she should not be treated as owning any of Desi's stock in Chocolates because of their hostility toward each other. Can family hostility be used as an argument to voice the family attribution rules?
Answer:
Chocolates R' Us, Inc.
Family hostility cannot be used as an argument to void the family attribution rules.
Lucy is still legally married to Desi. What the husband, Desi, therefore, owes, she owes equally despite their separation and her intention to reduce her ownership in their joint company.
Explanation:
Family Attribution Rules: Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code says an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his spouse and his children, grandchildren, and parents, including legally adopted children.
Alexander and Kristin are executive managers at Safety First Fall Safety Equipment Co. They realize that within the last several quarters, they have been treating the performance metrics from the company's two very distinct divisions the same rather than focusing on the unique aspects of each division. They have inaccurately assessed divisional performance as a result. Alexander and Kristin realize they have fallen prey to a cognitive bias known as:_______
a. common measures bias
b. motivated reasoning
c. surrogation
d. uncommon measures bias
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (Common measures bias).
Explanation:
CMS occurs because once variations throughout order to respond have been triggered either by method rather than with the real propensities of the participants that only the equipment is trying to expose.It suggested a lack of desire on the part of the decision-maker to integrate specific knowledge because this knowledge provides additional cognitive effort. It's streamlined.The remaining three solutions are not relevant to the situation in question. So Choice A is the right one.
Shulman Inc. has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle? Annual sales = $45,000 Annual cost of goods sold = $30,000 Inventory = $4,500 Accounts receivable = $1,800 Accounts payable = $2,500
Answer:
38.93
Explanation:
Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Average Collection Period - Payable Deferral Period
Inventory Conversion Period = 365 * Inventory / Annual cost of goods sold
365 days * 4500 / 30000 = 54.75
Average Collection Period = 365 days * Account receivable / sales
= 365 * 1800 / 45000 = 14.60
Payable Deferral Period = 365 days * Account payable / sales = 365 * 2500 / 30000 = 30.42
Hence, Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = 54.75 + 14.60 - 30.42 = 38.93
The firm Cash Conversion Cycle is 38.93

In January 2020, the management of Sheridan Company concludes that it has sufficient cash to permit some short-term investments in debt and stock securities. During the year, the following transactions occurred.
Feb. 1 Purchased 500 shares of Muninger common stock for $27,500.
Mar. 1 Purchased 700 shares of Tatman common stock for $17,500.
Apr. 1 Purchased 40 $1,050, 6% Yoakem bonds for $42,000. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1.
July 1 Received a cash dividend of $0.50 per share on the Muninger common stock.
Aug. 1 Sold 167 shares of Muninger common stock at $65 per share.
Sept.1 Received a $1 per share cash dividend on the Tatman common stock.
Oct. 1 Received the semiannual interest on the Yoakem bonds.
Oct. 1 Sold the Yoakem bonds for $41,000.
Required:
At December 31, the fair value of the Muninger common stock was $56 per share. The fair value of the Tatman common stock was $24 per share. Prepare the adjusting entry at December 31, 2020, to report the investment securities at fair value. All securities are considered to be trading securities.
Answer:
Sheridan Company
Adjusting Entries for reporting fair values of investments:
December 31, 2020:
Debit Investment in Muninger $333
Credit Unrealized Gains on Investment $333
To record the fair value of common stock investment.
Debit Unrealized Loss on Investment $700
Credit Investment in Tatman $700
To record the fair value of common stock investment.
Explanation:
a) Feb. 1, Muniger Common Stock 500 shares at $55 for $27,500
August 1, Sold 167 shares at $65 for $10,855
December 31 Remaining at fair value, 333 shares at $56 for $18,648
Fair Value Gain = $1 x 333 shares = $333
b) Tatman Common Stock 700 shares for $17,500
March 1, Common Stock 700 shares at $25 for $17,500
December 31, Remaining at fair value, 700 shares at $24 for $16,800
Fair Value Loss = $1 x 700 = $700
c) Trading Investments are held for short-term purposes to take advantage of dividends and changes in the market price of the investments. These securities are accounted for at fair value. The requirement is that at the end of the accounting period, the fair value is determined and used to value the investment. Unrealized Gains or Losses are recorded, depending on their fair values. The gains or losses become realized when the investments are sold.
Consider the following data for two products of Gitano Manufacturing. (Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and "OH rate and cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Product A Product B
Number of units produced 11,500 units 1.700 units
Direct labor cost ($29 per DLH) 0.16 DLH per unit 0.24 DLH per unit
Direct materials cost $2.10 per unit $3.10 per unit
Activity Overhead costs
Machine setup $94,104
Materials handling 53,000
Quality control inspections 73.200
$220,304
Required
a. Using direct labor hours as the basis for assigning overhoad costs, determine the total production cost per unit for each product line.
b. If the market price for Product A is $28.68 and the market price for Product B is $58, determine the profit or loss per unit for each.
c. Consider the following additional information about these two product lines. If ABC is used for assigning overhead costs to what is the cost per unit for Product A and for Product B?
Answer:
a. Product A $257,830 , Product B $57,086
b. Product A $71,990 , Product B $41,514
c. Hie, for this part of the question there is missing information regarding the Activities for the two Products for each Activity Center.
However the Procedure to deal with the required is explained below :
Step 1 : Determine the Overhead Absorption Rate for Each Activity Center
(We have three Activity Centers: Machine setup, Materials handling: Quality control inspections )
Overhead Absorption Rate = Total Overhead (for each) / Total Number of Activity
Step 2: Absorb the Costs in the products using the Rate for each cost center and the number of activity incurred in each cost center for the two Products
Overhead (Activity Center) = Overhead Absorption Rate× Activity Specific to the Product.
Step 3 : Determine the Total Costs
Total Cost for one Product would include the Total Costs for each Activity Center (which are your overheads) plus the Direct Labor and Direct Material Costs as Calculated in Part b.
Explanation:
Part a
Total Production Cost = Direct Costs + Indirect costs (overheads)
First determine the predetermined rate based on direct labor hours.
Total direct labor hours.
Product A (11,500×0.16) = 1,840
Product B (1.700×0.24) = 408
Total = 2,248
Predetermined rate = total overhead cost / total direct labor hours
= $220,304 / 2,248
= $98 per labor hour
Assigning Overhead Cost
Total Overhead Costs
Product A (1,840×$98) = 180,320
Product B (408×$98) = 39,984
Total = 220,304
Total Costs
Product A Product B
Direct labor cost
Product A ( 1,840×$29) 53,360
Product B (408×$29) 11,832
Direct materials cost
Product A ( 11,500×$2.10) 24,150
Product B (1.700×$3.10) 5,270
Overheads
Product A 180,320
Product B 39,984
Total Costs 257,830 57,086
Part b.
Profit = Selling Price - Expenses
Product A Product B
Sales
Product A ( 11,500×$28.68) 329,820
Product B (1.700×$58) 98,600
Manufacturing Costs (257,830) (57,086)
Profit 71,990 41,514
Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for January. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for January. Pasadena Candle Inc. Direct Labor Cost Budget For the Month Ending January 31 Hours required for assembly: Candles min. Convert minutes to hours ÷ min. Molding hours hrs. Hourly rate × $ Total direct labor cost
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = 6/60 =0.1 (note there are 60 minutes in an hour)
Direct labour budget = 785,000 × 0.1× 18 = $1,413,000.
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.

Godcare, an insurance firm based in California, had difficulties expanding their operations to Asian markets as most of their target countries had strict regulations on transferring the details of the customers among the different branches of the firm. The company had to obtain an approval from its customers before sharing their personal information with its branches in other countries. Which of the following barriers is most likely to have affected the services of Godcare in the given scenario?a. Protectionismb. Control on transborder data flowsc. Protection of intellectual propertyd. Cultural requirements for adaptatione. Language translation barriers
Answer:
The correct answer is: b. Control on transborder data flows.
Explanation:
Control on transborder data flows was the barrier that probably affected Godcare services in the scenario above.
The insurance company had this barrier of control of transborder data when expanding its business to Asian countries with stricter regulations on the transfer of customer data.
Generally, these government restrictions arise to protect against possible abuses and invasions of privacy, which meant that the company needed the approval of each customer to share their personal information with its branches in other countries.
(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of
Answer:
a) 120 skiers per day
b) 6.25% increase in revenue
Explanation:
a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.
__
b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average spending per day is ...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...
20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day
And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...
20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day
The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.
Identify a true statement about the per-unit expenditure method of determining advertising budget. It bases its advertising budgets on those of competitors or other members of the industry. It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base. It sets the advertising budget as a predetermined share of profits or financial resources. It involves arguing for and presenting the advertising budget on the basis of research findings.
Answer: It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base.
Explanation:
The Per-unit expenditure approach to advertising sets the retail price based on the production cost. This means that the amount to be set for advertising is based on a fixed amount that is determined by how many units of a good the company expects to sell so that the advertising is based on how much it spent in production.

What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
$340,000
Explanation:
Statement of cash flow ( year-end December 31, 2012)
Operating activities Cashflow
Net Income = $5,000,000
Add back: Depreciation = $440,000
Net cashflow = $5,440,000
Investing activities Cashflow
Cash paid for machinery = ($5,400,000)
Net cashflow = ($5,400,000)
Financing activities Cashflow
Cash receipt from issuing long term debt =$1,000,000
Cash paid for dividends =(800,000)
Net cashflow =$200,000
Net increase = ($5,440,000-$5,400,000+$200,000)
Net increase in cash = $240,000
Opening balance as at 1 Jan 2012 =$100,000
Closing balance as at 31 Dec 2012 =($100,000+$240,000) = $340,000
At the current year-end, Simply Company found that its overhead was underapplied by $2,500, and this amount was not considered material. Based on this information, Simply should: Multiple Choice Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold. Close the $2,500 to Finished Goods Inventory. Do nothing about the $2,500, since it is not material, and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. Carry the $2,500 to the income statement as "Other Expense". Carry the $2,500 to the next period.
Answer:
Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold
Explanation:
The under applied overhead is added to the Cost of Goods Sold amount.
The same amount would be debited to the cost of goods sold and the manufacturing overhead would be credited with the same amount that is $ 2500.
Under applied overhead means that the overhead actually incurred is more than the overhead planned of to be incurred. So we add back the amount by which it is less.
How many years would it take for Jughead to save an adequate amount for retirement if he deposits $2,000 per month into an account beginning today that pays 12 percent per year if he wishes to have a total of $1,000,000 at retirement
Answer:
The number of year needed to save the amount = 36.2739
Explanation:
The annual deposit amount (A) = $2000
Annual interest rate (r ) = 12 %
The retirement amount or the expected amount at the time of retirement (FV) = $1000000
Number of years = n
So if the Jughead want the retirement amount $1000000 that has interest rate 12 percent then we need to calculate the number of years.
Below is the calculation of number of years.
[tex]FV = A \frac{(1 + r)^{n}}{r} \\1000000 = 2000 \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\\frac {1000000}{2000} = \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\500 = \frac{(1 + 0.12)^{n} - 1}{0.12} \\ n = 36.2739 \ years[/tex]

You find the following Treasury bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently May 2019 and the bond has a par value of $1,000. Rate Maturity Mo/Yr Bid Asked Chg Ask Yld ?? May 24 103.4690 103.5418 +.3093 6.119 5.524 May 29 104.5030 104.6487 +.4365 ?? 6.193 May 39 ?? ?? +.5483 4.151 In the above table, find the Treasury bond that matures in May 2029. What is your yield to maturity if you buy this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
4.93%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,046.487
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 5.524% ÷ 2 = $27.62
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
The 10 years is come from
= May 2029 - May 2019
= 10 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The yield to maturity is
= 2.46% × 2
= 4.93%

Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1, 2015, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years, but in December 2015 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years. The firm's accountants plan to report the 2015 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: d. The firm's cash position in 2015 and 2016 would increase.
Explanation:
The financila statements had been calculated with the view that fixed assets would be depreciated over a 20 year period. However, it was discovered that the assest should be depreciated over 15 years instead. This reduction in the period would have the effect for increasing the depreciation payment.
For example, say the asset cost $20,000 and was originally to be depreciated over 20 years using Straight Line Depreciation. This means that the depreciation per year would be,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{20}[/tex]
= $1,000 a year.
If it was however discovered that it was supposed to be 15 years that figure would go to,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{15}[/tex]
= $1,333.33 a year
Notice how depreciation increased. Lucy's Music emporium will therefore see their depreciation cost rise. Depreciation is subtracted from revenue as it is tax deductible. When Lucy's Emporium deduct this new depreciation, they will have less profit. They will be taxed on this less profit and so pay a lower tax. This will thus increase their cash holdings because Depreciation is a non cash expense and does not actually require a cash payment.
Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 2.5% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Present value (P) = $1,200
Future value (F) = $1,618.62
Number of year = 5 year = 5(12) months = 60 months
Find:
The nominal annual rate of interest(r)
Computation:
[tex]Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{F}{P} }-1 \\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = \sqrt[60]{\frac{1,618.62}{1,200} }-1 \\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = 0.004949\\\\Nominal\ annual\ rate\ of\ interest(r) = 0.5 %[/tex]
Actual periodic Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 0.5 (5year)

Suppose that a small company that makes a standardized product is experiencing an increase in sales even though it has a small geographic footprint. Currently, the founder makes all of the strategic decisions but is beginning to feel overwhelmed. She has decided to pursue a cost-leadership strategy going forward. In order for the firm to achieve its goals, which of the following business-level structures should the firm adopt?
a. an ambidextrous functional structure
b. a centralized functional structurea flexible organic structure
c. a centralized multidivisional structure
d. a simple structure with the founder's imprint
Answer: b. a centralized functional structure
Explanation:
Cost Leadership refers to a situation where a company is better at cost management that other companies in the industry. If a company can produce at a lower cost, they can capture more market share and be more profitable.
When a company wants to engage in cost Leadership one of the best structures to adopt is the Centralised functional structure. This is when decisions are usually made at a top management level in a company that is divided by functions such as Information Technology, Sales, Marketing etc.
By making the structure centralised, the company can make Standardised products on a company wide basis which is very effective in cost saving as the company is able to plan better and spend less because they will be buying resources and producing in bulk. That advantage from Economies of Scale will keep their costs low.
The demand curve for the new computer game, Rock and Roll Trivia, is given as follows: Q = 200 - 5P - .1Pc - .5Pd + .2A - I Where P is the price of the game, Pc is the price of a computer, Pd is the price of a diskette, A is the level of advertising, and Q is the level of income. Suppose P = 10, Pc = 100, Pd = 2, A = 5, and I = 50. What is the price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Explanation:
Given,
P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.
So,
Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).
Q=90 (level of income)
Computation:
Given , I = 50, Q = 90.
ΔQ / ΔI = -1
Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)
Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
