Answer:
As a result of this sale, the firm's net cash flow will increase by more than $32,900. The right option is 1.
Explanation:
According to the given we have the following:
asset cost= $72,800
current book value=$42,760
sale=$32,900
Therefore, loss=current book value-sale
loss=$42,760-$32,900
loss=$9,860
tax saving on loss=$9,860*21%=$2,070.60
Therefore, net cash flow=$32,900+$2,070.60
net cash flow=$34,970.60
As a result of this sale, the firm's net cash flow will increase by more than $32,900
Chuck Olson, age 16, buys a used car from Bobby Duncan Used Cars Center on September 15, 2006. Olson agrees to pay $200 a month for 12 months. A month after the purchase, Olson is involved in an accident that wrecks the car. He immediately calls Duncan Cars and informs them that he is disaffirming the contract. According to traditional common laws, which of the following is most likely to be true?
a. Olson does not have a duty to place Duncan in status quo ante
b. Olson can ask Duncan to pay for the damages as he hasn't made the full payment for the car.
c. Olson has to pay for the damages and then return the car to Duncan.
d. Olson can successfully press charges and force Duncan to take care of the damages caused to the car.
Answer:
Olson can successfully press charges and force Duncan to take care of the damages caused to the car ( D )
Explanation:
Chuck Olson age 16 ( a minor ) can successfully press charges and request/force Bobby Duncan used cars center to take care of the damages caused to the car. this is because according to traditional common laws a contract entered by a minor is considered null and void hence Olson can successfully disaffirm the contract and Bobby Duncan would have to accept the damages and take care of them.
A minor is not required by traditional common law to entered into any form of obligatory contract.
Internal Controls for Bank Lending
Pacific Bank provides loans to businesses in the community through its Commercial Lending Department. Small loans (less than $100,000) may be approved by an individual loan officer, while larger loans (greater than $100,000) must be approved by a board of loan officers. Once a loan is approved, the funds are made available to the loan applicant under agreed-upon terms. Pacific Bank has instituted a policy whereby its president has the individual authority to approve loans up to $5,000,000. The president believes that this policy will allow flexibility to approve loans to valued clients much quicker than under the previous policy.
Answer the following True or False questions related to the scenario.
1. All loans have the same element of risk, so it doesn't matter if the loan is large or small.
2. Allowing the bank president to have sole authority to grant large loans is fine since he or she is president.
3. Large loans present greater risk in the event of default, therefore you should have more than one person involved in making the decision to grant a large loan.4. Having one person grant loans is good internal control.
Answer:
1. False
The higher the figure, the higher the risk. Kindly note that loans are usually insured against default. The higher the amount insured, the higher the premium payable as insurance on such amounts.
2. False
It does not make for good internal control to have one person regardless of their position to have the final say on loans of great magnitude such as $5 Million. This can quickly degenerate into a situation where the officer involved is tempted to abuse that power. It makes for good corporate governance and risk management to ensure that the board is responsible for loans of such magnitude.
3. True
If a bank lost $100 in a thousand places, from loan default, that translates to a loss of $100,000. This relatively is large however it is small and will have less impact that a loss of a million dollars in 3 places. That's $ 3,000,000.
As already indicated, it makes for good loan disbursement governance, to ensure that there is at least two persons involved in the risk acceptance criteria (RAC) evaluation and loan disbursement process.
4. False
Separation of duties is the foundation of good internal control. It allows for greater objectivity. It is also key to carefully select signatories to loan disbursements. They have to be people of impeccable character and the company must exercise proper risk management to ensure that every protocol such as opportunity that may create the impulse or inclination to breach policy is removed completely.

Your current income is equal to 40,000
Your next period (future) income is known to be equal to 44,000.
If your current consumption expenditure is equal to 32,000, what is your (current) level of savings?
If the real rate of interest is equal to 15%, how much will you spend on consumption next period (assuming that your current consumption is 32,000)?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Assume that the individual lives for two periods which are present and future.
The individual savings in the present period will be:
= current income - current consumption
= 40000- 32000
= 8000
Interest income earned on the savings:
= 15% of savings
= 0.15 × 8000
= 1200
Therefore, the consumption in future period will be the sum of the next period income, the savings from current period and interest income that is earned on the savings.
Consumption in next period:
= 44000 + 8000 + 1200
= 53200

Calip Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for October: Sales $413,000 Cost of goods sold (all variable) $169,100 Total variable selling expense $20,700 Total fixed selling expense $17,900 Total variable administrative expense $13,100 Total fixed administrative expense $30,400 The contribution margin for October is:_________.
a) $210,100
b) $364,700
c) $161,800
d) $243,900
Answer:
$243,900
Explanation:
Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October
Sales= $413,000
Cost of goods sold= $169,100
Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700
Total fixed selling expense= $17,900
Total variable administrative expense= $13,100
Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400
The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales
= $413,000-$169,100
= $243,900
Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900

(Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. Working capital.
current assets - current liabilities
current year = 7,800,000 - 3,900,000 = $3,900,000 last year = 5,940,000 - 2,760,000 = $3,180,000b. The current ratio. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = 7,800,000 / 3,900,000 = 2 last year = 5,940,000 / 2,760,000 = 2.15c. The acid-test ratio. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = (7,800,000 - 3,900,000) / 3,900,000 = 1 last year = (5,940,000 - 2,400,000) / 2,760,000 = 1.28d. The average collection period. (The accounts receivable at the beginning of last year totaled $1,750,000.) (Use 365 days in a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable
7
7.03
current year = 365 / 7 = 52.14 days last year = 365 / 7.03 = 51.92 dayse. The average sale period. (The inventory at the beginning of last year totaled $2,110,000.) (Use 365 days in a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
current year = {[(3,900,000 + 2,400,000) / 2] / $12,600,000} x 365 = 91.25 dayslast year = {[(2,400,000 + $2,110,000) / 2] / $9,900,000} x 365 = 83.14 daysf. The operating cycle. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
current year = 52.14 + 91.25 = 143.39 days last year = 51.92 + 83.14 = 135.06 daysg. The total asset turnover. (The total assets at the beginning of last year totaled $14,690,000.) (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = 15,750,000 / [(17,100,000 + 14,880,000)/2] = 0.98 last year = 12,480,000 / [(14,880,000 + 14,690,000)/2] = 0.84

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversation regarding the development of a new information system for the company: CIO: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers performing their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. MD: We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system. CIO: I can assure you that this will not happen this time. My team just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not. MD: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend more time determining what exactly we want the system to do upfront. Then your team can come in and determine what portions to salvage if you wish. Just don’t constrain us to the old system! Required: a) The CIO and MD have different views on how the system analysis should be performed. Comment on whose position you sympathize with the most. b) What method would you recommend to Illustrious Limited for system analysis? Explain.
Answer:
Illustrious Limited
a) I sympathize with the MD. He noted "We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system." The implication of his assertion is that something is missing in the way the CIO and her team had been handling system development projects in the past. Even the CIO acknowledged the MD's assertions by assuring "that this will not happen this time." In the past, the system development team had neglected understanding "what is working well and what is not." This should not be the case in any good system development. Preliminary analysis or investigation should uncover users' requirements and then conduct a thorough system analysis before the design and other stages are carried out in an iterative process.
b) I would recommend SCRUM instead of the Waterfall methodology. With Scrum, the system development project is teamwork. The team is held accountable and SCRUM utilizes iteration to achieve well-defined goals. The SCRUM framework "begins with a simple premise, starting with what can be seen or known before it tracks progress and tweaks as necessary," to achieve set goals defined by users' requirements.
Explanation:
a) System Development is a process that follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) methodology and involves these seven stages: requirement analysis, system analysis, system design, development or programming, testing, implementation and documentation, and evaluation and support.
b) SCRUM is a framework in SDLC which follows "a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work." SCRUM has been described as "an agile way to manage a project," especially software development because of its "iterative and flexible approaches."
c) Waterfall model, on the other hand, follows linear sequential phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance, and each stage depends on the deliverables of the previous stage. This is why "in software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress flows in largely one direction ("downwards" like a waterfall) through the phases."
From the perspective of manufacturers, standardization means:
A. making identical, interchangeable components or complete products.
B. making the exact product a particular customer needs or wants.
C. ensuring that each product is sold at the same price.
D. meeting the benchmark set by a market leader.
E. ensuring that one's product has the exact same features as that of a competitor.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: making indentical, interchangeable components or complete products.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of standardization in the field of business is a process that involves the fact of being certain aspects that need to be done in order to accomplish the same goal. In the case of the manufacturers, it means that they need to make every good the same, therefore that it means making identical, interchangeable components or complete products as well in order to keep everytime the same results.
Answer:
A. making identical, interchangeable components or complete products.
Explanation:
From the manufacturer's point of view standardisation is the process by which goods and services are produced according to standards based on consensus between all parties in an industry.
Standardisation ensures that there is a consistent quality between products In the same industry.
So products are identical, interchangeable components or complete products based on the standard that guides production.
The various stakeholders considered in setting standards are users, governments, corporations, and standards organisations
Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Antonio chooses Right and Caroline chooses Right, Antonio will receive a payoff of 3 and Caroline will receive a payoff of 7.
Caroline
Left Right
Antonio Left 4, 6 6, 8
Right 7, 5 3, 7
The only dominant strategy in this game is for_________ to choose________ . The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses_________ and Caroline chooses_________ .
Answer:
Caroline to choose right
Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.
Explanation:
Interpreting the payoff matrix:
Both choose right:
Antonio receives 3, Caroline receives 7
Both choose left:
Antonio receives 4, Carolina receives 6
Caroline chooses left, Antonio chooses right:
Antonio receives 7, Caroline receives 5
Caroline chooses right, Antonio chooses left:
Antonio receives 6, Caroline receives 8
As we can see, Antonio only has a better payoff then Caroline if she chooses left and he chooses right. Therefore, the dominant strategy is for Caroline to choose right, this way she will always have the greater payoff.
If Antonio chooses right, the outcome may alter depending on the outcome, therefore it is not a Nash Equilibrium. However, if Antonio chooses left, no matter what Caroline chooses, she will have the greater payoff. At the same time, if Caroline chooses right, Antonio cannot change the outcome by changing his strategy. Therefore, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.
Consider the hypothetical example of Dominion Island that has firms producing only two goods, gold and cotton, the
proceeds of which it uses to purchase other goods and services from neighbouring islands through its banks. Assuming
that all other required institutions in an economy are prevalent in this island, discuss the circular flow of income and
spending in Dominion Island. No diagram is required.
Answer:
Circular Flow of Income simply refers to how money moves from one point to another through an economy.
Explanation:
Inflow
In every economy, the household sector must engage in spending. This is referred to as Consumption (C).
When injects money via public projects, and other forms of spending, it is referred to as Government Spending (G).
In the case above, the money flows from those who produce the gold and the cotton.
The two firms producing goods (gold and cotton) also inject money into the economy when they invest and expand their operations. This is referred to as (I).
As the produce gold and cotton and export to other neighbouring Islands, more money flows into the economy. This is typified by (X).
From the monies they receive, they pay their workers the banks make money from the transactions and also pay their workers, hence the Consumption loop is completed.
Outflow
Both the bank and the companies producing gold and cotton and the workers who have received payment all pay taxes (T) to the government. This reduces the flow of money in circulation but also enables Government Spending. Hence the Government Spending loop is completed.
The household and businesses also keep monies aside. This is called savings (S) and also has a way of reducing money from the economy when it increases.
Another leakage happens when the two firms import raw materials and labour for their production. Let's call this (M). When importation happens, money leaves the economy and the Import-Export loop is completed.
Let's examine the Inflow-Outflow factors
All the income (inflow) into Dominion Island are captured as C + G + X + I while
all the expenditure/outflows of Dominion Island are captured as T + S + M.
The relationship between the inflow and the outflow also helps us to understand the Gross Domestic Product of Dominion Island.
"GDP of Dominion Island is defined as the value (in monetary terms) of all finished goods and services made within it in a given period." It can also be summarised as "the sum of monies spent by consumers, the government, monies invested by the firms in Dominion Island, and the income from exports minus the total value of imports into Dominion Island.
Put in the form of an equation GDP for Dominion Island therefore
= C + G + I + (X – M).
Cheers!
Explanation:
The groups in this island of Dominion are;
1. the firm
2. the banks
3. the workers
4. neigboring islands
For the firms, they have:
1. In one case cash outflows to labourers who work to produce the two products gold and cotton.
2. And in another case, the firms are consumers since they pay for other products available in neighbouring islands.
For the banks, they get cash inflows since they receive payments from the two firms.
For workers, who receive their wages from the firms take this wages to their individual households as cash inflows which they spend in the economy making them Consumers and they may likely save some part of their wages.
For the neighbouring islands, they receive cash inflows from Dominion island as exports.
Suppose that a company's equity is currently selling for $28.25 per share and that there are 4.7 million shares outstanding and 27 thousand bonds outstanding, which are selling at 100 percent of par. If the firm was considering an active change to their capital structure so that the firm would have a D/E of 1.7, which type of security (stocks or bonds) would they need to sell to accomplish this, and how much would they have to sell
Answer:
Debt would be issued
amount of debt issuance is $ 198,717,500.00
Explanation:
Target capital structure is Debt/Equity=1.7
Current capital structure=debt value/equity value
equity value=$28.25*4,700,000=$132,775,000.00
debt value=27,000*$1000=$27,000,000
Current D/E=$27,000,000/$132,775,000= 0.20
This implies that debt would to be increased
The required amount of debt is computed below which is x
1.7=x/132,775,000.00
x=1.7*132,775,000.00
x=$ 225,717,500.00
Required debt is $225,717,500.00
amount of debt issue=required debt-existing debt= 225,717,500.00-27,000,000=$198,717,500.00
Ridiculousness, Inc., has sales of $44,000, costs of $20,600, depreciation expense of $1,700, and interest expense of $1,000. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the operating cash flow, or OCF
Answer:
Operating cash flow= 15,155
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ridiculousness, Inc., has sales of $44,000, costs of $20,600, depreciation expense of $1,700, and interest expense of $1,000.
Tax rate= 35%
To calculate the operating cash flow, we need to use the following structure:
Sales= 44,000
COGS= (20,600)
Gross profit= 23,400
Depreciation= (1,700)
Interest= (1,000)
EBT= 20,700
Tax= 20,700*0.35= (7,245)
Depreciation= 1,700
Operating cash flow= 15,155
Problems with (or leakages from) the money creation process would include an increase in the reserve requirement. unwillingness of borrowers to obtain loans from banks to invest in factories or expansion of the firm. a decrease in the reserve requirement. an increase in the federal funds rate. a decrease in the federal funds rate.
Answer:
The correct answer is unwillingness of borrowers to obtain loans from banks to invest in factories or expansion of the firm.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Leakage problem occurs or happens within an economy when the money goes out of the economy, which leads to a loss in the economic value of goods and services, and also leads to loss in profits making.
This would lead to an unwillingness of borrower's to obtain loans from banks in the expansion of the firm or to invest in factories.
Audreys free-throw percentage so far this season is .875. If she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, her percentage will drop to .860. How many free throws has Audrey made this season?
solve using a guess and check method
Answer: 245
Explanation:
From the question, Audreys free-throw percentage this season is 0.875 and if she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, the percentage will drop to 0.860. To calculate the number of free throws Audrey has made this season goes thus:
Audrey's current rate = 0.875
Let us say y out of z should be 0.875
y/z = 0.875 ........ equation i
Therefore,
y+13/z+20 = 0.860 ........ equation ii
Recall that y/z = 0.875
y = 0.875z
Put the value of y into equation ii
y+13/z+20 = 0.860
0.875z + 13/z + 20 = 0.860
Cross multiply
0.875z + 13 = 0.860(z + 20)
0.875z + 13 = 0.860z + 17.2
Collect like terms
0.875z - 0.860z = 17.2 - 13
0.015z = 4.2
z = 4.2/0.015
z = 280
Since y =0.875z
y = 0.875 × 280
y= 245
Therefore, the number of throws Audrey made this season is 245
Pecan Theatre Inc. owns and operates movie theaters throughout Florida and Georgia. Pecan Theatre has declared the following annual dividends over a six-year period: Year 1, $80,000; Year 2, $90,000; Year 3, $150,000; Year 4, $150,000; Year 5, $160,000; and Year 6, $180,000. During the entire period ended December 31 of each year, the outstanding stock of the company was composed of 250,000 shares of cumulative, preferred 2% stock, $20 par, and 500,000 shares of common stock, $15 par. Required: 1. Determine the total dividends and the per-share dividends declared on each class of stock for each of the six years. There were no dividends in arrears at the beginning of Year 1. Summarize the data in tabular form. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. If the amount is zero, please enter "0".
Answer:
Year Dividend 2% Cumulative Preferred Common Stock
Declared Dividends Dividends
Total Per Share Total Per Share
Year 1 $80,000 $100,000 $0.40 0 0
Year 2 $90,000 $100,000 $0.40 0 0
Year 3 $150,000 $100,000 $0.40 $20,000 $0.04
Year 4 $150,000 $100,000 $0.40 $50,000 $0.10
Year 5 $160,000 $100,000 $0.40 $60,000 $0.12
Year 6 $180,000 $100,000 $0.40 $80,000 $0.16
Explanation:
Cumulative, Preferred Stock attracts fixed dividend every year, whether profit is made or not, and whether dividend is declared or not. In any year when there is no dividend declared, the dividend due to cumulative preferred stock is accumulated and paid whenever dividend is declared. And the holders of cumulative prefered stock take precedence in receiving dividends.
Preferred Stock is a class of stock that attracts fixed dividend based on percentage. They have preference with respect to dividend before the Common Stock and in the sharing of company resources. There are many variants. Some are cumulative and others are non-cumulative. Some are participatory while others are not.

Assume that $4.4 million is deposited into a bank with a reserve requirement of 16 percent. Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. a. What is the money supply as a result
Answer:
$3696000
Explanation:
Given:
Amount deposited into a bank is $4.4 million with a reserve requirement of 16 percent.
To find: money supply
Solution:
Amount deposited into a bank = $4.4 million = $4400000
Amount of reserve = [tex]\frac{16}{100}[/tex] × 4400000 = $704000
Money supply = Amount deposited into a bank - Amount of reserve
= $4400000 - $704000
=$3696000
