Answer: It is NOT a good investment.
Explanation:
Your bank account pays an interest of 9% per annum. This can be used as a discount rate to discount the dividends and the final Sales price to the present to see if the present value of Future benefits is more than what the stock is valued at now.
If the Present Value of the future benefits is higher than the cost now, XYZ is a good investment.
$4 are expected every year for 3 years and then on the third year, the stock will be sold for $100.
Discounting therefore gives us,
= (4 / (1 + 9%) ) + (4 / (1 + 9%)^2) + ( 4 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3) + ( 100 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3)
= 87.34
= $87.34
The Present Value of the future benefits including the future sales price is $87.34 which is less than the current cost of the stock at $90.
XYZ is NOT a good investment.
Hardwig Inc. is considering whether to pursue a restricted or relaxed current asset investment policy. The firm's annual sales are expected to total $3,600,000, its fixed assets turnover ratio equals 4.0, and its debt and common equity are each 50% of total assets. EBIT is $150,000, the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. If the company follows a restricted policy, its total assets turnover will be 2.5. Under a relaxed policy its total assets turnover will be 2.2. Refer to the data for Hardwig, Inc. Assume now that the company believes that if it adopts a restricted policy, its sales will fall by 15% and EBIT will fall by 10%, but its total assets turnover, debt ratio, interest rate, and tax rate will all remain the same. In this situation, what's the difference between the projected ROEs under the restricted and relaxed policies? a. 2.46% b. 2.98% c. 3.27% d. 2.24% e. 2.70%
Answer:
d. 2.24%
Explanation:
total annual sales = $3,600,000
fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 4, that means that total fixed assets = $3,600,000 / 4 = $900,000
debt = 50% = $450,000
equity = 50% = $450,000
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $150,000 x (1 - 40%) = $90,000
restricted policy:
asset turnover = 2.5
sales = $3,600,000 x (1 - 15%) = $3,060,000
EBIT = $135,000
net income = $81,000
assets = $3,060,000 / 2.5 = $1,224,000
equity = $1,224,000 x 50% = $612,000
ROE = $81,000 / $612,000 = 13.24%
relaxed policy:
asset turnover = 2.2
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $90,000
assets = $3,600,000 / 2.2 = $1,636,364
equity = 50% x $1,636,364 = $818,182
ROE = $90,000 / $818,182 = 11%
difference between ROEs = 13.24% - 11% = 2.24%
All of the following are techniques being used to make data centers more "green" except:________.
a) use of hydropower.
b) air-cooling.
c) use of wind power.
d) use of backup generators.
e) virtualization.
Answer:
d) use of backup generators.
Explanation:
Going green is a term used for practices that protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling resources. It involves engaging in ecologically friendly decisions and lifestyles with a view of preserving natural resources for future generations.
The use of backup generator causes production of green house gases like carbon dioxide. Green house gases erode the ozone layer and increases global warming.
The other options like use of hydropower, air cooling, use of wind power, and virtualisation do not have adverse effect on the environment.

True or False : When you are thinking of something you want to predict, measure, or change in your business, you are probably thinking of a dependent variable.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Dependent variables are variables which are altered by the changes to the independent factors or variables.
The following are instances of dependent and independent variables:
Dependent Variable (DV): Profit, Product Quality, Staff Attrition during a recession.
Profit (DV) depends on sales, expenses, the economy, the proficiency of the sales staff, the quality of the product.
The Quality of the Product (DV) depends on the production process, product design, quality of raw materials etc
So, many of the factors highlighted above, which affect the dependent variables are called Independent variable.
Profit, for instance, can be forecasted or changed IF changes are made to sales.
It is possible to measure the quality of a product or service. It can also be altered by increasing or decreasing the quality of raw material input.
Cheers!

Item8 Part 5 of 5 10 points Return to questionItem 8Item 8 Part 5 of 5 10 points Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] In 2021, the Westgate Construction Company entered into a contract to construct a road for Santa Clara County for $10,000,000. The road was completed in 2023. Information related to the contract is as follows: 2021 2022 2023 Cost incurred during the year $ 2,542,000 $ 3,772,000 $ 2,074,600 Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 5,658,000 1,886,000 0 Billings during the year 2,020,000 4,294,000 3,686,000 Cash collections during the year 1,810,000 3,800,000 4,390,000 Westgate recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion. 5. Calculate the amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years assuming the following costs incurred and costs to complete information. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years is shown below:-
Sales revenue for the present period for 2021 = $31,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2022 = $46,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2023 = $23,00,000.00
Gross Profit for year 2021 = $5,58,000.00
Gross profit for year 2022 = $8,28,000.00
Gross profit for year 2023 = $2,25,400.00
To reach the sales revenue we simply deduct the Sales revenue recognized in previous period from Sales revenue recognized till date for 3 years on the other hand to compute the gross profit we simply deduct the Cost incurred during the year from Sales revenue for the present period for 3 years.
For clarification we attached the spreadsheet to reach the sales revenue and gross profit for 3 years.

You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,435.00 for rent and utilities, $6,171.00 is spent in salaries and $1,545.00 in insurance. Also every student adds up to $91.00 per month in stationary, food etc. You charge $734.00 per month from every student now. You are considering moving the school to another neighborhood where the rent and utilities will increase to $11,679.00, salaries to $6,974.00 and insurance to $2,408.00 per month. Variable cost per student will increase up to $158.00 per month. However you can charge $1,054.00 per student. At what point will you be indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option?
Answer:
31
Explanation:
The calculation of indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option is shown below:-
Current Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $734.00 - $91.00
= $643.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $5,435.00 + $6,171.00 + $1,545.00
= $13,151.00
New Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $1,054.00 - $158.00
= $896.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $11,679.00 + $6,974.00 + $2,408.00
= $21,061.00
Here we will assume the indifferent number of students will be X
So,
Income under current option = Income under new option
$643.00 × X - $13,151.00 = $896.00 × X - $21,061.00
$253X = $7,910
X = $7,910 ÷ $253
= 31.26
or
= 31
Which of the following are a type of overhead allocation method?
a. division overhead rate method.
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Answer:
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Explanation:
B. Activity based costing method allocates different cost pools or drivers to each overhead based on its level of activity or usage etc. For example if we want to find the cost of telephone calls we would find the number of total calls not number of days. Similarly if we want to calculate the wages we will find the number of hours not days etc.
C. Department overhead rate method allocates different rates to each department. For example the rates of the lubricating department may be different from the finishing department or polishing department etc.
D. Platwide Overhead rate method allocates a single rate to all the products. It is based on direct labor hours . And number of hours are used to allocate it to different products. For example the rate may be $1.5 per hour and it can be calculated for different products as product A requires 6 hours and product B requires 9 hours so the rate for Product A would be $ 9.0 and $ 12 for product B.
A.division overhead rate method. Theres no such overhead rate as division overhead rate method.
The plantwide overhead rate method. Thus the option D is correct.
What is the overhead allocations ?The overhead allocation refers to the rate of the cost allocations . The core components of the cost allocations is track the organization products and services. The business can identify the services that helps in managing the company's financial resources. It helps to allocate the cost to the business units.

Lexigraphic Printing Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for four years. Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows:
Old Machine
Cost of machine, 10-year life $89,000
Annual depreciation (straight-line) 8,900
Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation 23,600
Annual non-manufacturing operating expenses 6,100
Annual revenue 74,200
Current estimated selling price of machine 29,700
New Machine
Purchase price of machine, six-year life $119,700
Annual depreciation (straight-line) 19,950
Estimated annual manufacturing costs,
excluding depreciation 6,900
Annual non-manufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.
Required:
1. Prepare a differential analysis as of April 30 comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1) with operations using the new machine (Alternative 2). The analysis should indicate the total differential income that would result over the six-year period if the new machine is acquired. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries.

If the company purchases the new machine, its differential revenue will be higher considering the 6 years of useful life. But we are missing two important aspects: required rate of return and tax rate, which could affect our decision.
2) Choices of what other factors should be considered.
What effect does the federal income tax have on the decision?
Net cash flows are affected by deprecation expense and how they are taxed. Alternative 2 would benefit from higher tax rates.What opportunities are available for the use of the $90,000 of funds ($119,700 less $29,700 proceeds from the old machine) that are required to purchase the new machine?
We should discount the future cash flows using the company's WACC.Are there any improvements in the quality of work turned out by the new machine?
If the new machine improves the quality of our products or reduces production time, then that is something that should be considered.Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to increase the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "Treasury bills, Monetary Base ". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
(A)...
Assets: $300 (tax bills)
If it's bought by Federal Reserve, it's going to be the asset portion.
(B)...
Reserves: $300 (Commercial Banking liabilities)
Based mostly on reserve requirements, banks would then deposit funds to Federal Reserve. All of the lenders will carry through.
(C)...
Treasury Deposits or bills = -$300
Certain bills would go down by $300 as either a result of Federal Reserve purchases.
(D)...
Bookings or Reserves: + $300
This would be growing by $300 because of the sale of treasury bills. It won't bring any changes to the aspect of liability.
If researchers add financial treasury obligations with reserves as well as circulating documents, so it becomes a financial basis. Such that the answer given is indeed the appropriate one.
Determining Cash Payments to Stockholders The board of directors declared cash dividends totaling $209,800 during the current year. The comparative balance sheet indicates dividends payable of $50,400 at the beginning of the year and $45,400 at the end of the year. What was the amount of cash payments to stockholders during the year?
Answer:
$214,800
Explanation:
The amount paid is the sum of the amount declared and the difference in amounts payable.
dividends paid = $209,800 +50,400 -45,400
dividends paid = $214,800

Canliss Mining Company borrowed money from a local bank. The note the company signed requires five annual installment payments of $10,500 beginning one year from today. The interest rate on the note is 5%.(FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) What amount did Canliss borrow
Answer:
The amount that Canliss borrowed is $45,459.51
Explanation:
The amount borrowed is the present value of $10,500 for five years using the discount factor applicable to each to each year as shown below
The formula for discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
r is the rate of interest on the loan which is 5%
n is the year relating to each cash flow ,for instance 1 for year one
present value of the loan=$10,500/(1+5%)^1+$10,500/(1+5%)^2+$10,500/(1+5%)^3+$10,500/(1+5%)^4+$10,500/(1+5%)^5=$45,459.51
An advertising expenditure approach that initially formulates the advertising goals and defines the tasks to accomplish these goals is known as a(n) _____. Group of answer choices objective approach functional approach task approach percentage sale approach
Answer:
Option C. Task Approach
Explanation:
Task approach is the approach that is based on the goals that expenditure must achieve and helps in defining what the advertising goals must be and what must be the tasks for goals accomplishment.
The advertising expenditure that is based on the sales that the expenditure must generate is percentage sale approach and it is not the case here.
Objective Approach is based on the set objectives and hence helps in designing the marketing expenditure from each aspects which is again not the case here because only advertising expenses are considered here.
The Functional Approach is the dealing of the tasks of the company by separate independent functions which performs the task which is also not the case here.

Linguini Inc. adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, 2018, when it had an inventory of $841,000. Its inventory as of December 31, 2018, was $874,000 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.15. What was DVL inventory on December 31, 2018
Answer:
760,000
Explanation:
First find ending inventory at base pricing:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Calculate real dollar increase/decrease in quantity
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Since it is a decrease in quantity, you use prior period cost index. Prior period is the base year so you just use 1.0 which means that -81,000 stays the same
so now it is 841,000-81,000=760,000
The dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory on December 31, 2018 will be 760,000.
What is dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory?The latest in, first out cost layering principle is a version on which the dollar-value LIFO method is based. In essence, the technology aggregates cost data for huge quantities of inventory, eliminating the need to create unique cost layers for each inventory item. Instead, pools of inventory goods are organized into layers.
Find ending stock at base prices first:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Determine the actual dollar gain or decrease in the amount.
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Using the preceding period cost index is appropriate because the quantity has decreased. Since the prior period is the base year, you only need to utilize 1.0, so that -81,000 remains the same.
Consequently, it is now 841,000-81,000=760,000.

NewTech Incorporated management plans on paying the company's first dividend of $2.00 three years from today (D3 = $2.00) on its' common stock. After year three the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. As an investor with a required rate of return of 15%, what would you pay for NewTech common stock today?
Answer:
Stock price today = $13.807
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return
This principle can be applied as follows:
The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return
Step 1 : Compute the PV in year 3 of future dividend
PV = D× (1+g)/r-g
D- div in year 3, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return
PV in year 3 = 2× (1.05)/0.15-0.05
= 21
Step 2: PV in year in year 0
PV = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-n)
r-rate of return- 15%, n- number of years- 3
= 21 × 1.15^(-3)

Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
Let us assume Owners' equity at the beginning be X
So, the Increase in Owners' equity is $260,000 - X
As we know that
Accounting equation is
Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity
So,
Total Increase in Assets = Total Increase in Liabilities + Increase in Owners' equity
$134,000 = $79,000 + $260,000 - X
$134,000 = $339,000 - X
So, the X =
= $339,000 - $134,000

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.60 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.40. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is0.6 , and the spending multiplier for this economy is . Suppose the government in this economy decides to increase government purchases by $400 billion. The increase in government purchases will lead to an increase in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to . This increases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to . The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is .
Answer:
The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is $1,000 billion
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = As with every additional increase in income, consumption increases by 0.60.
MPC = change in Consumption / Change in Income = [tex]\Delta C/\Delta Y[/tex]
[tex]\Delta C/\Delta Y[/tex] = 0.60 / 1
MPC = 0.60.
Spending or Expenditure Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
Spending Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.6) = 1 ÷ 0.4 = 2.5.
The consumption will increase by MPC, with 1 dollar increased, consumption increased by 0.60
Therefore, with $400 billion increase, Consumption will increase by 0.60 × 400 billion = $240 billion.
This increases income, causing a change in consumption at second times equal $240 billion × 0.6 = $144 billion.
The total change in income by this increment in government spending equals as:
Change in Demand = Multiplier × change in G
Change in Demand= $400 billion × 2.5 = $1,000 billion.
The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is $1,000 billion
Marginal propensity to consume = change in Consumption / Change in Income
Marginal propensity to consume = 0.60 / 1
Marginal propensity to consume = 0.60
Spending Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)
Spending Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.6)
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 0.4
Spending Multiplier = 2.5.
Consumption will increase = 0.60 × 400 billion
Consumption will increase = $240 billion.
Consumption will increase second time = $240 billion × 0.6
Consumption will increase second time = $144 billion.
Change in Demand = Multiplier × Spending Multiplier
Change in Demand = $400 billion × 2.5
Change in Demand = $1,000 billion

Assuming that Tim is 75 years old at the end of 2019 and his marginal tax rate is 32 percent, what amount of his distribution will he have remaining after taxes if he receives only a distribution of $50,000 for 2019?
Answer:
$15,300
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Suppose that Tim is 75 years old at the end of 2018
The marginal tax rate here is = 32%
The distribution = $50,000
Now,
What amount of distribution he get after taxes
At 75 years of age that is the age of the participant
Distribution period = 22.9
The Applicable percentage = 4.37%; this is gotten from the table attached below
Thus,
He implies that 2,000,000 * 4.37 %
=$87,400
The less amount received = $50,000
The balance is = $87,400 = $50,000
= $37,400
Tim needs to pay tax at 32%
= 50,000 * 32%
=$16,000
The pay penalty become s =37,400 * 50% = $18,700
The total amount for tax to be paid and the penalty is = $16000 + $18700= $34,700
The amount received by Tim after tax is = $50,000 - $34700 =$15,300
The amount Tim will receive after tax is $15,300
