Answer:
10%
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the nominal yield to maturity (YTM) formula as follows:
Yield to maturity = [C + ((F - P) / n)] / [(F + P) / 2] ........ (1)
Where;
F = Face or par value = $1,000
C = Coupon or interest payment = $1,000 * 13% = $130
P = quoted price = $1,200
n = Years to maturity = 10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Yield to maturity = [130 + ((1,000 - 1,200) / 10)] / [(1,000 + 1,200) / 2] = 0.10, or 10%.
You just agreed to a deal that will make you the proud new owner of a beautiful new convertible. The car comes with a three-year warranty. Please consider the purchase of the extended warranty which has a purchase price of $1,800, today (the day you purchased your NEW car). The extended warranty covers the 4 years immediately after the three-year warranty expires. You estimate that the yearly expenses that would have been covered by the extended warranty are $400 at the end of the first year of the extension, $500 as the end of the second year of the extension, $600 at the end of the third year of the extension, and $800 at the end of the fourth year of the extension. Assume that money during this time can earn interest at a rate of 7% compounded monthly. Will you decide to buy the warranty? Your formal solutions should include:______.1. The overall goal and/or purpose
2. The given information
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
4. The present value for each of the repair costs
5. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
6. Your conclusion
Answer:
1. The overall goal and/or purpose
The overall goal of this analysis is to determine if you would actually save money by purchasing the extended warranty.
2. The given information
You can calculate this by determining the present value of the expected repair costs that will be covered by the warranty and determine which is higher; the warranty or the repairs
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
initial investment -$1,800cash flow year 4 = $400cash flow year 5 = $500cash flow year 6 = $600cash flow year 7 = $8004. The present value for each of the repair costs
the discount rate is 7%, so the present value of each repair cost is:
PV cash flow year 4 = $400 / 1.07⁴ = $305PV cash flow year 5 = $500 / 1.07⁵ = $356PV cash flow year 6 = $600 / 1.07⁶ = $400PV cash flow year 7 = $800 / 1.07⁷ = $498total $1,5595. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
the present value of the warranty is $1,800, so the car company is making $1,800 - $1,559 = $241 in profits by selling you the warranty
6. Your conclusion
You shouldn't buy the extended warranty (negative NPV)
The Crime Prevention Service for Business at Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice defines shrinkage as the difference between the inventory a business should have and what the:
Answer: ...business actually does have.
Explanation:
According to a study done in 2010, Retail Stores around $38 billion in Shrinkage making it quite a huge problem. Shrinkage according to the Crime Prevention Service for Business at Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice is the difference between the inventory a business should have and what it actually does have meaning that Shrinkage refers to the unexplained losses in inventory during the year.
Shrinkage can happen due to a couple of reasons such as employee theft, book keeping errors and shoplifting.
Walter, a single taxpayer, purchased a limited partnership interest in a tax shelter in 1993. He also acquired a rental house in 2019, which he actively manages. During 2019, Walter's share of the partnership's losses was $30,000, and his rental house generated $20,000 in losses. Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses is $130,000.
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried.
2. tax years to reduce.
3. income in those years.
Answer:
A. $10,000
B. $0
C. The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Explanation:
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.
Excess of Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses over $100,000 = $130,00 - $100,000 = $30,000
Allowable deductions = $25,000 - ($30,000 * 50%) = $10,000.
It should be noted that 50 cents, used as 50% above, for each dollar the tax payers modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 is deducted from$25,000 to arrive at allowable deductions. However, there will not be allowable deduction in the case that the modified adjusted gross income is greater $150,000.
B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.
Walter is eligible for allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017. Therefore, Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017 is $0.
C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried forward to future
2. tax years to reduce passive
3. income in those years.
Therefore, this can be joined together as follows:
The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Some construction company has bought a product for $200,000 with a life of three years, and a salvage value of $10,000. Tabulate depreciation and book value using MACRS, Double Declining Balance and straight-line methods. Which method gives the company the largest depreciation after two years?
Answer:
The method that gives the company the largest depreciation after two years is MACRS.
Explanation:
According to given data Under MACS depreciation would be provided for 4 years and the salvage value of the asset would be reduced to zero .
Year depreciation rate Deprecation Book value at the end of the year
1 33.33% 66660 (33.33 % of 200000) 133340
2 44.45% 88900 (44.45 % of 200000) 44440
3 14.81% 29620 (14.81 % of 200000) 14820
4 7.41% 14820 (7.41 % of 200000) 0
Straight line method
The amount of depreciation remains same for three years. The depreciation amount is calculated as
=Original cost- Salvage value / life
= 200000-10000 /3
= 63333.3 $
Year Depreciation Book value at the end of the year
1 63333.33 136666.7
2 63333.33 73333.34
3 63333.33 10000.01
Double declining balance method
Under this method the depreciation is charged at double the rate of straight line method .
Depreciation rate under SLM = 100% / 3 = 33.33 %
DDB method rate = 2* 33.33% = 66.66%
Year Book value at the beginning Depreciation Book value at the end
1 200000 133320 (66.66% of 200000) 66680
2 66680 44448.89 (66.66% of 66680) 22231.11
3 22231.11 14819.26 (66.66% of 22231.11) 7411.853
The largest depreciation is given by MACRS method after two years which is 88900

Solve accepted a 60-day, 9 percent note from Pete Houghton in settlement of his past-due account for $6,000. On April 9, Westwood Company discounted the note at the First National Bank. The bank charged a discount rate of 12 percent. What is the amount of the proceeds
Missing information:
The note was accepted on March 10
Answer:
$6,029.10
Explanation:
in order to answer the question, I assumed a 360 day year, so 60 days = 2/12 of a year
the note's value on maturity date = principal + accrued interest = $6,000 + ($6,000 x 9% x 2/12) = $6,000 + $90 = $6,090
bank charges = note's value on maturity date x discount rate x 30 days = $6,090 x 12% x 1/12 = $60.90
net proceeds = $6,090 - $60.90 = $6,029.10

Both are qualified charitable organizations. Disregarding percentage limitations, Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year is
Answer:
$56,250.
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which we will use to solve this particular problem or Question;
=>" Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) = $1,350 for Basis and Fair market value = $ 375 "
=> "Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months 12,000 for Basis and 10,875 for fair market value."
=>" Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months 15,000 for Basis and 18,000 for fair market value. "
=> "Real estate held as an investment for two years 15,000 for basis and 30,000 for fair market value."
Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year can be calculated by adding the the fair markets values of :
Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) + Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months + Real estate held as an investment for two years
Then, the result gotten will be added to the Basis value for Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months. Thus;
$ 375 + 10,875 + 30,000 = 41,250.
41,250 + 15,000 = $56,250.
Pitchfork, Inc. is preparing its 2020 financial statements. The company's accountant calculated Income from Continuing Operations to be $1,700,000, but upon further review is not certain this number is accurate.

In January the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $2.00, and Aji’s Chocolate Factory produced 80 pounds. In February the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $2.50, and Aji’s Factory produced 110 pounds. In March the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $3.00, and Aji’s Factory produced 140 pounds.a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February
1.5 elasticb. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March
1.36 elasticc. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.Explanation:
price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.
PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5
PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36

If Fat Fox Smelters has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding, can Cold Goose file a single income tax return that reports the incomes and expenses of both companies? No, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is less than or equal to 49%, whereas 50% or more is required by the U.S. Tax Code. Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 60%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code. Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Answer:
Cold Goose Metal Works and Fat Fox Smelting Corp.
Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Explanation:
The total percentage of shares owned by Cold Goose Metal Works is 83% (207,500/250,000 x 100). This is more than 80% required.
The relevant section supporting the above is
"Section (2) 80-per cent voting and value test: The ownership of stock of any corporation meets the requirements of this paragraph if it—
(A)possesses at least 80 per cent of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, and
(B)has a value equal to at least 80 per cent of the total value of the stock of such corporation."
A mine is for sale for $240,000. It is believed the mine will produce a profit of $65,000 the first year, but the profit will decline $5,000 a year after that, eventually reaching zero, whereupon the mine will be worthless. What rate of return would this $240,000 investment produce for the purchaser of the mine
Answer:
60.4%
Explanation:
Initial cost = $240,000
profit of first year = $65,000
this is reduced subsequently until it reaches zero
Note that this value reduces in an arithmetic progression from $65,000 , $60,000, ... , 0
the first term A1 = 65,000
the common difference d is 60,000 - 65,000 = -5000
the last term is An = 0
we calculate for number of terms
An = A1 + (n - 1)d
0 = 65,000 + (n - 1)(-5000)
0 = 65,000 - 5000n +5000
5000n = 70,000
n = 14
using the equation for summation of terms in an arithmetic progression Sn, we solve as
Sn = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex][2A1 + (n - 1)d]
Sn = [tex]\frac{14}{2}[/tex][2(60,000) + (14 - 1)(-5000)]
Sn = 7[120,000 - 65,000]
Sn = 7 x 55,000
Sn = $385,000. This is the total profit on the mine
rate of return = (385,000 - 240,000)/240,000 = 145,000/240,000 = 0.604
i.e 60.4%

FOR BUS LAW I
Certain that Al Gore would emerge victorious from the post-election chaos, Melvin's Decorations ordered 50,000 "President Al Gore" medallions from Medallions, Inc. on December 1, 2000 for $5 per medallion. Delivery was to be on January 10, 2001. By that date, the value of the medallions had fallen to $1 per medallion. Melvin's Decorations refused to accept the medallions because it was clear that George Bush would keep the presidency, and Medallions, Inc. sued for Melvin’s breach. What can Medallions recover? (Assume that there was nothing wrong with the medallions and that Melvin's did breach the contract).
A.
Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
B.
The difference between the contract price and the market price.
C.
Either A or B.
D.
Neither A nor B.
Answer:
A. Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
Explanation:
Since Melvin's Decorations breached the contract they had with Medallions, the non breaching party is entitled to sue for compensatory monetary damages. Courts will generally assign compensatory damages that cover the losses incurred due to the contract breach, i.e. the amount of money that medallion would have made as a profit if Melvin's decoration had purchased and paid for the medallions.
Write a linear cost function equation for each of the following conditions. Use y for estimated costs and X for activity of the cost driver.
a. Direct manufacturing labor is $10 per hour.
b. Direct materials cost $15.60 per cubic yard.
c. Utilities have a minimum charge of $5,000, plus a charge of $0.30 per kilowatt-hour.
d. Machine operating costs include $300,000 of machine depreciation per year, plus $100 of utility costs for each day the machinery is in operation.
Answer:
a)
y = $10x
b)
y = $15.6x
c)
y = $5000 + $0.3x
d)
y = $300000 + $100x
Explanation:
y for estimated costs and X for activity of the cost driver. Linear cost function is given as:
y = a + bx.
Where y is the cost being predicted, x is the cost driver, a is the fixed cost (intercept) and b is the variable cost per unit (slope)
a) Since Direct manufacturing labor is $10 per hour, variable cost (b) = Direct manufacturing labor = $10
Therefore:
y = $10x
b) variable cost (b) = Direct materials cost = $15.60 per cubic yard.
Therefore:
y = $15.6x
c) Fixed cost (a) = utilities = $5000 and variable cost (b) = charges = $0.3 per kilowatt-hour. Therefore:
y = $5000 + $0.3x
d) Fixed cost (a) = Machine operating costs = $300000 and variable cost (b) = utility costs = $100 per day. Therefore:
y = $300000 + $100x

At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $7,700. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $22,700. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $9,700. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer: $20,700
Explanation:
beginning inventory (X) = $7,700
purchased additional inventory (Y) = $22,700
ending inventory (Z) = $9,700
So first, we have to calculate Cost of goods available for sale (A), we add beginning inventory (X) and purchased additional inventory (Y)
A = X + Y
A = 7,700 + 22,700
Cost of goods available for sale (A) = 30,400
NOW to get our Cost of goods sold for the year (B), we subtract ending inventory (Z) from cost of goods available for sale (A)
B = A - Z
B = 30,400 - 9,700
B = 20,700
therefore the cost of goods sold for the year is $20,700

Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $150,000, $375,000, and $87,500, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Machine setups $ per setup
Machining $ per machine hour
Inspections $ per inspection
Answer:
Machine setup= $60 per setup
Machining= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= $50 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead costs:
Machine setup= 150,000
Machining= 375,000
Inspections= 87,500
The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
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= 150,000/2,500= $60 per setup
Machining= 375,000/25,000= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= 87,500/1,750= $50 per inspection
