e) Morrison receives $9,000 + $40,000 + $39,000 = $88,000
Greene receives $3,000 + $70,000 + $39,000 = $112,000
f) Morrison receives $9,000 + $40,000 + $30,000 = $79,000
Greene receives $3,000 + $70,000 + $18,000 + $30,000 = $121,000
Nancy Company has an idle machine that originally cost $200,000. The book value of the machine is $100,000. The company is considering three alternative uses of the idle machine: Alternative 1: Disposal of machine. Disposal value of machine is $50,000. Alternative 2: Use the idle machine to increase production of Product A. Contribution margin from additional sales of Product A is estimated to be $60,000. Alternative 3: Use the idle machine to increase production of Product B. Contribution margin from additional sales of Product B is estimated to be $70,000. When considering Alternative 2, what is the opportunity cost of the idle machine
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The opportunity cost of the idle machine when considering Alternative 2 can be calculated by deducting the benefit from alternative 2 from the benefits of alternative 3
DATA
Benefits from alternative 1 = $50,000
Benefit from alternative 2 = $60,000
Benefit from alternative 3 = $70,000
Net financial benefit from Alternative 3 = Benefit from alternative 3 - opportunity cost
Net financial benefit from Alternative 3 = $70000-60000
Net financial benefit from Alternative 3 = $10000
Assume that you own 100 shares of common stock of a company, that you have been receiving cash dividends of $7 per share per year, and that the company has a 3-for-2 stock split. Required: How many shares of common stock will you own after the stock split
Answer: 150 shares
Explanation:
If the company has a 3 for 2 stock split, this means that for every 2 stocks you had, you will get 3 instead.
With 100 shares in the company, your new stock ownership amount after the split will be;
= 100 * 3/2
= 150 shares
Lilliput is a country that has closed borders and does not import or export any goods or services; hence, they do not worry about trade with other countries. Total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $4.71 billion. The country collected $4.83 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year. Assume government transfers were zero. Based on this information, what is Lilliput's budget balance
Answer: $0.12 billion
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question:
Total spending for Lilliput last fiscal year = $4.71 billion
Tax collected(Revenue)= $4.83 billion
Government transfers = $0
Lilliput's budget balance based on the information provided will be:

Determine the breakeven point in sales dollars. 2. Determine the required sales in dollars to earn a before-tax profit of $9,152,500. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 3. What is the breakeven point in sales dollars if the variable expenses increases by 9%
Answer:
Please see attached
Explanation:
• Break even point in sales dollars $22,000,000
• Required sales in dollars $48,150,000
• Break even point in sales dollars $34,010,600
See as attached, detailed solution to the questions above.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $44,000,000
Variable expenses $ 28,600,000
Fixed expenses 7,700,000
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 28,600,000)/44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= $22,000,000
Now, we incorporate the desired profit of $9,152,500
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (7,700,000 + 9,152,500) /0.35
Break-even point (dollars)= $48,150,000
Finally, the new break-even point in dollars:
Total variable cost= 28,600,000*1.09= 31,174,000
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 31,174,000) / 44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / 0.2915
Break-even point (dollars)= $26,415,094.34
Will Co. is expected to pay a dividend of $2 per share at the end of year 1(Div1), and the dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent forever. If the current price of the stock is $20 per share, calculate the expected return or the cost of equity capital for the firm.
Answer:
Expected return or the cost of equity capital for the firm = 14%
Explanation:
V(0) = D1 / r - g
v = 20, D1 = 2, r = ?, g = 0.04
20 = 2 / (r - 0.04)
20r - 0.8 = 2
20r = 2 + 0.8
20r = 2.8
r = 2.8/20
r = 0.14
r = 14%
Note: Application of constant growth dividend discount model was required to solve the question
Fun Vehicles, Inc. makes beach buggies on an assembly line. The total productive time to make one buggy is 300 seconds. The current line has a 90-second cycle time and consists of four workstations. The balance delay of this line must be:
Answer: Greater than 12% but less than 18%.
Explanation:
Total productive time, p is given as:
= 300 seconds
Cycle time, c = 90 seconds
The number of workstations, n is given as = 4
The formula to solve this will be:
= [p/(n x c)] x 100
= [300/(4 x 90)] x 100
=[(300/360) x 100
= 0.83 × 100
Line efficiency = 83.33%
Since the line efficiency has been gotten, we then calculate the balance delay which will be:
Balance delay = 100 - Line efficiency
= 100% - 83.33%
= 16.67%
The answer then will be Greater than 12% but less than 18%.

The capital projects fund is the account used by the government to record expenses related to certain projects.
Mystic Laboratories reported total assets of $11,200,000 and noncurrent assets of $1,480,000. The company also reported a current ratio of 1.5. What amount of current liabilities did the company report
Answer:
$6,480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the current liabilities is shown below:
Total assets of $11,200,000
Less: Noncurrent assets $1,480,000
Current Assets = $9,720,000
Now as we know that
Current ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
Current Liabilites is
= $9,720,000 ÷ 1.5
= $6,480,000
hence, the current liabilities is $6,480,000

Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW-based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR and (b) which design is preferred at an MARR of 25% per year.
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain
Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain
Both designs are assumed to be permanent
To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:
Each design is permanent so
Present value of perpetuity:
Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r
Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r
=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r
135000/r=1900000
Cross multiply
r=135000/1900000
r= 0.0710
r=7.10%
B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%
MARR>ROR
Hence we reject both designs

A bank estimates that their average balance on demand deposit accounts is $3,500, net of float. Each account costs the bank $250 per year in processing costs. The bank collects an average of $10 per month on each account in service charges. Assume reserve requirements are 10%. What is the net cost of an average demand deposit
Answer:
4.1%
Explanation:
Net cost of average demand deposit is computed as;
Net cost = (Non interest expense - Non interest income) / [Average balance × (1-RR)]
Annual non interest income= 12 × $10 = $120
Non interest expense = $250
Average balance = $3,500
RR = 10%
Therefore,
Net cost = ($250 - $120) / [$3,500 × (1-0.10)]
Net cost = $130 / $3,150
Net cost = 4.1%
Residential Investment Payments of Factor Income to the rest of the world National Income Inventory Adjustment 0.00 Personal Consumption Expenditure Depreciation Exports Nonresidential Investment Receipts of Factor Income from the Rest of the World Government Transfer Payment 200.00 Statistical Discrepancy 0.00 Imports Using the above information calculate the values of GDP, GNP, NNP and Government Consumption and Gross Investment (G).
Please find full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
Gross domestic product is calculated:
Gross Domestic Product(GDP) = Gross National Product (GNP) - Receipts of factor income from rest of the world + Payments of factor income to the rest of the world
So to find GDP, we calculate GNP
GNP = NNP+Depreciation
To calculate GNP, we calculate NNP:
Net national product (NNP) =national income, so we have,
NNP = $2,445 billion
GNP = NNP + Depreciation = $2,445+$75
GNP = $2,520 billion
So we substitute in GDP formula to calculate GDP
GDP = 2,520 - 70 + 50 = $2500 billion
GDP = $2,500 billion
Government consumption and gross investment= Government transfer payments + Non-residential investments
Government consumption and gross investment is given by G
G = 200+250 = $450 billion
G = $450 billion
Strong Metals Inc. purchased a new stamping machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $1,567,500. The estimated residual value was $82,500. Assume that the estimated useful life was five years and the estimated productive life of the machine was 300,000 units. Actual annual production was as follows: Year Units 1 70,000 2 67,000 3 50,000 4 73,000 5 40,000 Required: 1. Complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods. a. Straight-line. b. Units-of-production. c. Double-declining-balance.
Answer:
See answer below.
Explanation:
The depreciable amount of the machine is computed as follows.
cost - residual value = 1,567,500 - 82,500 = $1,485,000.
Estimated usefule life = 5 years
Question 1
Using the straight line depreciation method, the asset will be depreciated equally every year by [tex]\frac{Total Depreciation}{UsefulLife} =\frac{1,485,000}{5} =297,000[/tex]
Year 1 Depreciation = $297,000
Year 2 Depreciation = $297,000
Year 3 Depreciation = $297,000
Year 4 Depreciation = $297,000
Year 5 Depreciation = $297,000
Question 2
Using the unit of production method, the machine will be depreciated by the ratio of actual usage to estimated production life, until it is fully depreciated.
Year 1 Depreciation = [tex]\frac{Annual Usage}{Estimated Life} *Total Depreciation=\frac{170,000}{300,000} *1,485,000[/tex] = $841,500
Year 2 Depreciation = [tex]\frac{67,000}{300,000} *1,485,000[/tex] = $331,650
Year 3 Depreciation = [tex]\frac{50,000}{300,000} *1,485,000[/tex] = $247,500
Year 4 Depreciation = [tex]Total Depreciation - Accumulated Depreciation=1,485,000-(841,500+331,650+247,500)[/tex]= $64,350
Year 5 Depreciation = 0.
Year 4 computation arose because the computed depreciation using the unit of production method [tex]\frac{73,000}{300,000} *1,485,000=361,350[/tex] would push the computed accumulated depreciation beyond the total depreciation allowed. As such, the residual balance was adopted in year 4.
Question 3
Using the double declining balance method, the machine would be depreciated at twice the depreciation rate of the straight line balance on the reducing balance of the asset, until this method results in a depreciation figure lower than the straight line method.
Depreciation rate = [tex]2*StraightLineRate=2*(\frac{1}{5} )= 2* 0.20=0.40[/tex] = 40%
Year 1 depreciation = [tex]0.40*1,485,000[/tex] = $594,000
Year 2 depreciation = [tex]0.40*(1,485,000-594,000)[/tex] = $356,400
Year 3 depreciation = [tex]\frac{1,485,000-594,000-356,400}{3}[/tex]= $178,200
Year 4 depreciation = [tex]\frac{1,485,000-594,000-356,400}{3}[/tex]= $178,200
Year 5 depreciation = [tex]\frac{1,485,000-594,000-356,400}{3}[/tex]= $178,200.
Because year 3 depreciation using the usual double declining method [tex]0.40*(1,485,000-594,000-356,400)= 213,840[/tex] would result in a figure lower than the straight line depreciation rate (297,000), we used the straight line formula for the depreciation from years 3 to 5.
Dorchester Company had the following balances at the end of 2018 and 2019 respectively: Net Credit Sales - $875,000 for 2018 and $1,032,000 for 2019. Accounts Receivable - $84,000 for 2018 and $107,000 for 2019. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - $4,000 for 2018 and 7,500 for 2019 Calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio to one decimal place.
Answer:Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 11.50 times
Explanation:
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio is calculated using
Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
Net Credit Sales for 2019 = $1,032,000
Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 = Accounts Receivable in 2018 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2018
= $84,000 - $4,000
= $80,000
Net Accounts Receivable in 2019 = Accounts Receivable in 2019 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2019
= $107,000 - $7,500
= $99,500
Average Accounts Receivable = (Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 + Net Accounts Receivable in 2019) / 2
= ($80,000 + $99,500) / 2
= $179,500 / 2
= $89,750
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales in 2019 / Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,032,000/ $89,750
= 11.498
= 11.50 times

A college student borrows $10,000 today at 10% interest compounded annually. Four years later, the student makes the first payment of $3000. Approximately how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment
Answer:
$11,700
Explanation:
Calculation for how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment
Using this formula
A=P(1+r/n)^nt
Where,
P =represent the principal amount $10,000
r =represent annual nominal interest rate 10/100= 0.1
n =represent the number of times the interest is compounded per year 1
t= represent number of years 4
Let plug in the formula
A=$10,000(1+0.1/1)^(1)(4)
A=$10,000(1.1)^4
A=$14,641
Since the student makes the first payment of the amount of $3,000 the amount of money that the student still owe on the loan after the first payment will be :
Loan Amount =$14,641-$3,000
Loan Amount =$11,641
Approximately $11,700
Therefore how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment will be $11,700
The student still owes is $11,641.
The first step is to determine the future value of the loan:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value P = Present value R = interest rate N = number of years$10,000(1.1)^4 = $14,641
The amount the student still owes = future value of the loan - amount paid
$14,641 - $3000 = $11,641.

A particular raw material is available to a company at three different prices, depending on the size of the order: Less than 100 pounds $ 25 per pound 100 pounds to 3,999 pounds $ 24 per pound 4,000 pounds or more $ 23 per pound The cost to place an order is $40. Annual demand is 2,700 units. Holding (or carrying) cost is 25 percent of the material price. What is the economic order quantity to buy each time, and its total cost
Answer:
EOQ = 201 units
total cost = $66,007.35
Explanation:
we can calculate the EOQ using 2 different prices (it makes no sense to use $23 since the minimum order size is larger than annual demand):
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order costD = annual demandH = holding cost$25 per unit
S = $45
D = 2,700
H = $25 x 25% = $6.25
EOQ = √[(2 x 45 x 2,700) / 6.25] = 197.18
$24 per unit
S = $45
D = 2,700
H = $24 x 25% = $6
EOQ = √[(2 x 45 x 2,700) / 6] = 201.25 ≈ 201 units
since both EOQs are higher than 100 units, then we must use $24 per unit
you have to make 2,700 / 201 = 13.43
total cost = (13.43 x $45) + (2,700 x $24) + (201 x $6 x 0.5) = $604.35 + $64,800 + $603 = $66,007.35

Hatch Corporation's target capital structure is 40% debt, 50% common stock, and 10% preferred stock. Information regarding the company's cost of capital can be summarized as follows: The company's bonds have a nominal yield to maturity of 7%. The company's preferred stock sells for $40 a share and pays an annual dividend of $4 a share. The company's common stock sells for $25 a share and is expected to pay a dividend of $2 a share at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $2.00). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year. The company has no retained earnings. The company's tax rate is 40%. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
Answer:
WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%
Explanation:
The WACC or Weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can be made of one or all of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity.
The formula to calculate is as follows,
WACC = wD * tD * (1- tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component in capital structurer represents the cost of each componentD, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common Equity respectively.Cost of bond = 7%
Cost of preferred stock = 4/40 = 10%
Cost of Common Equity :
25 = 2 / (r - 0.07)
25 * (r - 0.07) = 2
25r - 1.75 = 2
25r = 2 + 1.75
r = 3.75 / 25
r = 0.15 or 15%
WACC = 0.4 * 0.07 * (1 - 0.4) + 0.1 * 0.1 + 0.5 * 0.15
WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%
On April 1, 2020, the City of Southern Ponds issued $5,000,000 in 4% general obligation, tax supported bonds at 101 for the purpose of constructing a new police station. The premium was transferred to a debt service fund. A total of $4,990,000 was used to construct the police station, which was completed before December 31, 2020, the end of the fiscal year. The remaining funds were transferred to the debt service fund. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020, and paid interest on October 1 and April 1. The first of 20 equal annual principal payments of $250,000 is due April 1, 2021. In addition to reporting Bonds Payable and (unamortized) Bond Premium in the government-wide Statement of Net Position, how would the bond sale be reported
Answer:
$100,000
$350,000
Explanation:
The bond sale be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020 and 2021 can be calculated as follows
The Amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020
= $5,000,000 x 4% x 1/2 year
= $100,000
The amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2021
= $5,000,000 x 4% + $250,000
= $350,000
Farrokh and Scheherezade Sharabianlou agreed to buy a building owned by Berenstein Associates for $2 million. They deposited $115,000 toward the purchase. Before the deal closed, an environmental assessment of the property indicated the presence of chemicals used in dry cleaning. This substantially reduced the property’s value. Do the Sharabianlous have a good argument for the return of their deposit and rescission of the contract? Explain.
Answer:
This was an actual court case that ended in the Court of Appeals of the First District of California. Initially a lower court had ruled against the Sharabianlous and set extremely high compensations for damages to Berenstein. I do not understand why the court did it since it was proven that the land was contaminated and couldn't be sold under unless cleaned.
Finally, the court of appeals ruled in favor of the Sharabianlous, not because they thought they were right, but due to errors in the original trial.
The big issue in this case was that the contract signed by the Sharabianlous wasn't clear enough about what would happen if the land was not suitable for sale and they also failed to seek a lawyer when the contamination issues became obvious. If you read the case, even the real estate broker acted against the Sharabianlous when the property was appraised since he didn't tell the appraiser about the contamination issues.
The final ruling was made in 2010, 8 years after the parties engaged in the transaction, which gives us an idea of how complicated things can get when legal procedures are not followed, even though the outcome should be obvious.
If I was part of a jury and the case was about property that couldn't be sold due to contamination, I would probably vote in favor of the buyer, not the seller. It's common sense, but sometimes it you do not follow the appropriate legal path, common sense makes no sense at all.
