Explanation:
On January 1, 2020, Stream Company acquired 30 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Q-Video, Inc., for $770,000. Q-Video manufactures specialty cables for computer monitors. On that date, Q-Video reported assets and liabilities with book values of $1.9 million and $700,000, respectively. A customer list compiled by Q-Video had an appraised value of $300,000, although it was not recorded on its books. The expected remaining life of the customer list was five years with straight-line amortization deemed appropriate. Any remaining excess cost was not identifiable with any particular asset and thus was considered goodwill. Q-Video generated net income of $250,000 in 2020 and a net loss of $100,000 in 2021. In each of these two years, Q-Video declared and paid a cash dividend of $15,000 to its stockholders. During 2020, Q-Video sold inventory that had an original cost of $100,000 to Stream for $160,000. Of this balance, $80,000 was resold to outsiders during 2020, and the remainder was sold during 2021. In 2021, Q-Video sold inventory to Stream for $175,000. This inventory had cost only $140,000. Stream resold $100,000 of the inventory during 2021 and the rest during 2022. For 2020 and then for 2021, compute the amount that Stream should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method. (Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Stream Company
The amount that Stream Company should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method:
2020 = $75,000
2021 = ($30,000)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity share in Q-Video, Inc. = 30%
Cost of equity investment = $770,000
Q-Video Profits and dividends Stream's share
2020 net income = $250,000 $75,000 ($250,000 * 30%)
2021 net loss of $100,000 ($30,000) ($100,000 * 30%)
2020 dividends = $15,000 $4,500 ($15,000 * 30%)
2021 dividends = $15,000 $4,500 ($15,000 * 30%)
b)The equity method is used by Stream Company because its investment in Q-Video, Inc. is less than 51% and more than 20%. Under the equity method, Stream accounts for its share of net income and net loss. The investment is initially recorded at cost. Adjustments are then made to the cost balance at the end of every period by increasing it with the share of net income and decreasing it with its share of net loss and dividends received.

Explanation:
It is estimated that the annual sales of an energy saving device will be 20,000 the first year and increase by 10,000 per year unitl 50,000 units are sold during the fourth year. Proposal A is to purchase manufacturing equipment costing $120,000 with an estimated salvage value of $15,000 at the end of 4 years.Proposal B is to purchase equipment costing $280,000 with an estimated salvage value of $32,000 at the end of 4 years. The variable manufacturing cost per unit under proposal A is estimated to be $8,00, but is estimated to be only $2.60 under proposal B. If the interest rate is 9%, which proposal should be accepted for a 4-year production horizon?
Answer:
Proposal B should be accepted
Explanation:
1 2 3 4
Sales(Units) 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000
Variable Cost (A) 160,000 240,000 320,000 400,000- 15,000
Variable Cost (B) 52,000 78,000 104,000 130,000 - 32,000
PV Factor(9%) 0.917 0.841 0.772 0.708
PV OF Variable Cost(A) 146,720 201,840 247,040 272,580
PV of Variable Cost(B) 47,684 65,598 80,288 69,384
Total PV of Variable Cost of A: $868,180
Total PV of Variable Cost of B: $262,954
Difference in PV of Expenses= $605,226
Difference in PV of Outflow = 280,000 - 120,000 = $160,000
So, Proposal B should be accepted because it has a cost saving of Net $445,226 (605,226 - 160,000).

Last year Viera Corp had $155,000 of assets, $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes a new computer program will enable it to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $33,000. Assets, total invested capital, sales, and the debt to capital ratio would not be effected. By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Calculation for By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE
First step
Debt value = $155,000 × 37.5%
Debt value = $58,125
Second step
Equity value = $155,000 - $58,125
Equity value $96,875
Third step
= (Net income ÷ Total equity) × 100
Ratio = ($20,000 ÷ $96,875) × 100 = 20.65%
New ROE would be = ($33,000 ÷ $96,875) × 100 = 34.06%
Fourth step
Change in ROE= New ROE - Old ROE
ROE= 34.06% - 20.65%
ROE= 13.41%
Therefore By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE is 13.41%

Suppose that a restaurant uses a focus group of regular customers to determine how many customers would buy a proposed new menu item at various prices. Can this information be used to estimate an inverse demand curve? A demand curve? Explain briefly. Asking how many customers would buy a proposed new menu item at various prices can be used to estimate A. the inverse demand curve, and the demand curve can be calculated from it. B. only the inverse demand curve. C. neither the demand curve nor the inverse demand curve. D. only the demand curve. E. the demand curve, and the inverse demand curve can be calculated from it.
Answer:
E. the demand curve, and the inverse demand curve can be calculated from it.
Explanation:
A demand function helps to show the relation between quantity demanded and price, the price here is the quantity is a function of price. So, writing the function in other way round, the price which is a function of quantity demanded is called as an inverse demand function.
As per the details given in the question above, it is clear that the quantity is a function of price. The prices on the menu varies and the quantity demanded is determined through various prices. Using this a demand function can easily be computed since quantity is a function of price.

Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. The company has two manufacturing departments-Molding and Fabrication. It started, completed, and sold only two jobs during March- Job P and Job Q. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March):
Molding Fabrication Total
Estimated total machine-hours used 2,500 1,500 4,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14,000 $ 17,400 $ 31,400
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 3.00 $ 3.80
Job P Job Q
Direct materials $ 29,000 $ 16,000
Direct labor cost $ 33,800 $ 13,900
Actual machine-hours used:
Molding 3,300 2,400
Fabrication 2,200 2,500
Total 5,500 4,900
Sweeten Company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the month.
What was the company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.15 per machine hour
Explanation:
Molding Fabrication Total
Estimated total machine-hours used 2,500 1,500 4,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14,000 $ 17,400 $ 31,400
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 3.00 $ 3.80
To calculate a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Total fixed overhead= $31,400
Total variable overhead= (3*2,500) + (3.8*1,500)= $13,200
Total Machine hours= 4,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (31,400 + 13,200) / 4,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.15 per machine hour
Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.
Country Corn (Bushels per hour of labor) Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor)
Euphoria 4 16
Contente 6 12
Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce corn. Consequently, Euphoria produces 12 million pairs of jeans and 16 million bushels of corn, and Contente produces 6 million pairs of jeans and 36 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it produces.
Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is___________ pair of jeans, and Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is__________ pair of jeans. Therefore,___________ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and__________ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.
Answer:
4
2
Contente
Euphoria
Explanation:
Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] = 4 pair of jeans, and Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is [tex]\frac{12}{6}[/tex] = 2 pair of jeans. Therefore, Contente has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and Euphoria has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

Keuka Studies does custom metal sculptures of horses and other animals. A horse sculpture is composed of numerous parts. They use a lathe to construct two types of parts. The "Body" part is used to support the torso of the horse and the "Leg" part is used to support the legs. Each horse sculpture needs 1 Body part and 4 Leg parts. Switching between either of the types of parts requires 12 minutes. Once ready to produce, the lathe produces a Body part in 3 minutes and a single Leg part in 3 minutes. The lathe only makes horse parts. For parts (a)-(d) assume Keuka operates a cyclic schedule in which they make 100 Body parts and then 400 Leg parts. Furthermore, assume the lathe is the bottleneck. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
a. What is the maximum number of horse sculptures Keuka can make per hour? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enteryour answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places.
b. What is the utilization (%) of the lathe?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the maximum number of horse sculptures can make per hour is shown below:
= (12 × 2) + (100 × 3) + (400 × 3)
= 24 + 300 + 1200
= 1524 minutes
Now cycle time in hours
= 1524 ÷ 60
= 25.40 hours
Number of horse scupltures could made is
= 400 ÷ 4
= 100
In per hour, it would be
= 100 ÷ 25.40 hours
= 3.94 hours
b. The utilization rate is
= (100 × 3) + (400 × 3) ÷ 1524 minutes
= 300 + 1200 ÷ 1524 minutes
= 1500 ÷ 1524 minutes
= 98.43%
The general price level is 150.00 and people expect it to increase to 156.00 next year. Therefore, the expected rate of inflation equals percent. Moreover, there is a one-year bond that promises to pay $107,000.00 next year and is selling for $100,000.00 in the bond market today. So, the nominal interest rate equals percent, and the ex-ante real interest rate on this bond equals percent. Because of some news about the state of the economy, people revise their expectations of the future price level to 159.00. According to the Fisher Effect, the price of the bond today will change to_______ dollars.
Answer:
$98,165.14
Explanation:
Note: There are missing word but the full question is attached as picture below
Here, Initial Nominal Interest rate = 7%
Inflation expectation= 4%
So, real return = 3%
Now, investors would want same real return
New inflation = (159 - 150)/150 *100 = 6%
Nominal interest rate = 6 %+ 3% = 9%
Price after 1 year = $107,000
So, current price changes to = $107,000/(1+0.09) = $107,000/1.09 = $98,165.14

We need to place a large order for bulbs for our solar kits. As you know, we import these bulbs from Japan. I have been watching the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen very carefully. The current exchange rate is $1 to 106.94 yen. However, sources tell me that the exchange rate is expected to be $1 to 115 yen very soon. Do you want me to place the order now or wait until the exchange rate changes?
Please advise how you want me to proceed.
Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.
A. Wait and place the order when the exchange rate changes.
B. Place the order now
Answer:
B. Place the order now.
Explanation:
Why wait until the exchange rate changes? When is that going to be? The best reaction would be to place the order when it is needed and not to speculate on the exchange rate. Waiting until the exchange rate changes against Japan makes the prices of goods and services cheaper for foreign purchasers. But, the wait could be endless.
Rivera Company has several processing departments. Costs charged to the Assembly Department for November 2020 totaled $2,283,744 as follows.
Work in process, November 1
Materials $78,600
Conversion costs 48,700 $127,300
Materials added 1,592,280
Labor 225,100
Overhead 339,064
Production records show that 35,200 units were in beginning work in process 30% complete as to conversion costs, 661,000 units were started into production, and 25,400 units were in ending work in process 40% complete as to conversion costs. Materials are entered at the beginning of each process.
Determine the equivalent units of production and the unit production costs for the Assembly Department. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Equivalent units of Production for Materials.
= Units transferred out + Ending WIP
Units transferred out = Beginning WIP + Units started in production - Ending WIP
= 35,200 + 661,000 - 25,400
= 670,800 units
= 670,800 + 25,400
= 696,200 units
Equivalent units of Production for Conversion
= Units transferred out + Ending WIP Conversion
= 670,800 + (25,400 * 40%)
= 680,960 units
Units cost of production for Materials
= (Beginning material cost + Materials added) / Materials EUP
= (78,600 + 1,592,280) / 696,200
= $2.40
Units cost of production for Conversion
= (Beginning conversion + labor + overhead) / Conversion EUP
= (48,700 + 225,100 + 339,064) / 680,960
= $0.90

Stewart owns a home with a replacement cost of $300,000. He purchased $200,000 of property insurance on the house with a $1,000 deductible for all losses. The house caught on fire and sustained $100,000 worth of damage. The actual cash value (ACV) of the damaged portion of the property was $80,000. How much will Stewart receive as reimbursement for the loss
Answer:
$82,333
Explanation:
The computation of the amount received as reimbursement for the loss is given below:
Given that
House Replacement= $300,000
80% of replacement cost = 80% of $300,000 = $240,000
Value of insurance = $200,000
Now
Amount of claim = [($200,000 ÷ $240,000) × $100,000] - $1,000 (deductible for all losses)
= $83,333 - $1,000
= $82,333

ReNew Corporation raises funds to build renewable energy systems by issuing 3-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6% and a face value of $1,600. Assume that the market interest rate for a 3-year bond issued by a firm like ReNew is currently the same as the coupon rate. The price of each of these bonds is____ , which means that the bonds sell at ___. Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to____ , which means that it sells at ____. Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to ___, which means that the bond sells at ___.
Answer:
The price of each of these bonds is $1,600, which means that the bonds sell at par.
Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to $1,558.00 , which means that it sells at discount.
Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to $1,688.80, which means that the bond sells at a premium.
When the coupon rate and the market interest rate are the same, the price will be at par.
Interest rate increases:
Bond Price = Present value of coupon + Present value of bond price
Coupon = 6% * 1,600
= $96
Bond price = 96 * (1 - 1.07⁻³ / 0.07) + 1,600 / 1.07³
Bond price = $1,558.00
Interest rate decreases:
= 96 * (1 - 1.04⁻³ / 0.04) + 1,600 / 1.04³
= $1,688.80
Each scenario below gives some information about price elasticity of demand for a firm. Use this information to answer the questions. Round answers to two places after the decimal where applicable. Honest Abe's Used Cars estimates the price elasticity of demand for their cars to be 4.60 . Last month, Abe tried a new marketing scheme which decreased the number of cars sold by 67 %.
Abe must have_________ prices. Therefore, Abe's total revenue ____________ Abe's prices must have changed by:________%
At Webs-R-Us, a website design company, the new manager has decided to increase the price of Webs-R-Us services by 45%.
If Webs-R-Us has a price elasticity of demand at 0.70, we can expected the number of websites designed to ___________
Answer:
increased
fell
14.57%
decrease
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Honest Abe's Used Cars has an elastic demand because its coefficient of elasticity is greater than one. Because demand is elastic, a rise in price would lead to a decrease in the number of cars sold. If price is increased, demand would fall more than the change in price, so total revenue would fall.
4.6 = 0.67 / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = 0.67 / 4.6 = 0.1457 = 14.57%
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Webs-R-Us services has an inelastic demand.
If prices are increased, demand would fall but it would fall less than the increase in price
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded
The 2018 balance sheet of Speith’s Golf Shop, Inc., showed long-term debt of $5 million, and the 2019 balance sheet showed long-term debt of $5.25 million. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $165,000. The 2018 balance sheet showed $510,000 in the common stock account and $4.6 million in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 balance sheet showed $550,000 and $4.8 million in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $410,000 in cash dividends during 2019. Suppose you also know that the firm’s net capital spending for 2019 was $1,370,000, and that the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $69,000. What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF?
Answer:
$1,386,000
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:
But before that following calculations must be done
Cash Flow to Creditors
Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expenses Paid - Net Increase in Long term debt
= Interest Expenses Paid - [Ending Long term debt - BEginning Long term Debt]
= $165,000 - [$5,250,000 - $5,000,000]
= $165,000 - $250,000
= -$85,000
Cash Flow to Stockholders
Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend Paid - Net New Equity
= Dividend Paid - [(Ending Common stock + Ending Additional paid-in surplus account ) - (Opening Common stock + OPening Additional paid-in surplus account )
= $410,000 - [($550,000 + $4,800,000) - ($510,000 + $4,6000,000)]
= $410,000 - [$5,350,000 - $5,110,000]
= $410,000 - $240,000
= $170,000
Cash Flow from assets
Cash Flow from assets = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to Stockholders
= -$85,000 + $170,000
= $85,000
Operating Cash Flow
= Operating Cash flows - Change in Net Working capital - Net Capital Spending
$85,000 = Operating cash flow - (-$69,000) - $1,370,000
= $85,000 - $69,000 + $13,70,000
= $1,386,000
Santana Rey, owner of Business Solutions, decides to diversify her business by also manufacturing computer workstation furniture. Required: 1. Classify the following manufacturing costs of Business Solutions as (a) variable or fixed and (b) direct or indirect. 2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for Business Solutions for the month ended January 31, 2020. Assume the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials: $2,600 Factory overhead: $520 Direct labor: $1,200 Beginning work in process: none (December 31, 2019) Ending work in process: $590 (January 31, 2020) Beginning finished goods inventory: none (December 31, 2019) Ending finished goods inventory: $370 (January 31, 2020) 3. Prepare the cost of goods sold section of a partial income statement for Business Solutions for the month ended January 31, 2020. Pre
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the following costs as variable-fixed, and direct-indirect:
Direct materials: $2,600 (variable - direct)
Factory overhead: $520 (mixed - indirect)
Direct labor: $1,200 (variable - direct)
Now, we can calculate the cost of goods manufactured using the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 0 + 2,600 + 1,200 + 520 - 590
cost of goods manufactured= 3,730
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
beginning finished inventory= 0
cost of goods manufactured= 3,730
ending finished inventory= (370)
COGS= $3,360
What would be the consequences if managers of a firm evaluated a project based on its actual dollar cash flows, but used a real rate to discount the cash flows? Would the project be more likely to be accepted, or more likely to be rejected? What kind of error could be committed? Please provide an example of how a project evaluation was affected by inflation considerations, either from your own experience, or do some online search for examples.
Answer:
Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.
For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.
Initial outlay $100
NCF year 1 = $40
NCF year 2 = $40
NCF year 3 = $40
Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93
Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53
