Answer:
d. a trustee in bankruptcy.
Explanation:
Generally secured creditors are the first creditors to be paid, but there are some expenses that need to be paid before any creditor actually receives any money. Bankruptcy expenses, e.g. lawyers, accountants, court, and the trustee. After the bankruptcy costs are paid, then the money is distributed among creditors. First Financial Corporation would be included in the list of creditors to be paid first.
On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 2017, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the time-weighted rate of return for Brian's stock portfolio over the two year period
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.
Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016
start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000
Return = [tex]\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1[/tex]
Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017
start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000
Return = [tex]\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571[/tex]
Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017
start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000
Return = [tex]\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901[/tex].
Therefore, time weighted return
= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1
= 0.019305
= 1.93%.
Juan owned 400 shares of Circle Corporation stock (adjusted basis of $102,000). He sold 200 shares for $40,800. Twenty days later he purchased 200 shares of the same stock for $30,600.
Required:
a. What is Juan's realized and recognized loss?
b. What is his basis in the newly acquired shares?
Answer:
a. -$10,200
b. $40,800
Explanation:
The computation of realized loss is shown below:-
Realized loss = Sales price - Adjusted basis
= $40,800 - ($102,000 × 200 ÷ 400)
= $40,800 - $51,000
= -$10,200
b. The computation of newly acquired shares is shown below:-
Basis for new acquired stock = Purchase price + Disallowed loss
= $30,600 + $10,200
= $40,800
We simply applied the above formula

Assume that demand for gasoline is inelastic and supply is relatively elastic. The government imposes a sales tax on gasoline. The tax revenue is used to fund research into clean fuel alternatives to gasoline, which will improve the air we all breathe. Who bears more of the burden of this tax, consumers or producers
Answer:
The burden is borne mostly by consumers
Explanation:
A Tax is said to be a compulsory or a Mandatory payment to local, state, or national government while Revenueis said to be the income of government derived or gotten from tax and non tax sources

Answer:
$8
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of earnings per share is shown below:-
Earnings per share = Stock price ÷ Price-to-earnings
= $96 ÷ 12
= $8
Therefore we have applied the above formula to determining the earnings per share.
The same is to be considered
We simply divided the stock price by the price to earning so that the earning per share could come
All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.

Wyle Co. has $3.9 million of debt, $1 million of preferred stock, and $2.1 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock
Answer:
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Explanation:
The capital structure of a business is made up of at least one or at most all of the following components namely Debt, Preferred Stock and Common Equity. The ratio in which each of these components form the capital structure might differ from business to business. The weightage of each component in the capital structure can be calculated by dividing the market value of each component by the sum of the market value of all the components.
Weight of a component = Market Value of component / Sum of market value of all components
Weight of Preferred stock = 1,000,000 / (3,900,000 + 1,000,000 + 2,100,000)
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Products should be specified by brand because: a. price levels of brand items are low b. the number of potential suppliers is restricted c. it is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item d. all of the above e. a and b above.
Answer:
C. It is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item.
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
Generally, these products are manufactured and distributed through different marketing channels to various wholesalers or retailers before it gets to the consumers or customers.
Hence, each product should be distinguished from another through its brand name in order to enhance easier identification by the customers.
Products should be specified by brand because it is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item. Thus, when a supplier such as a retailer or wholesaler wishes to place an order to a manufacturer, he or she should specify the order by brand.
Linden, Inc. uses a 5,700 square foot factory space that it rents for $2,800 a month for all its manufacturing activities. Linden has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system, and has identified its activities as follows: Preparation and Setup, Machining, Finishing, and Quality Control. 2,600 square feet of the factory are used for machining, while 1,300 square feet (each) are used for Preparation and Setup and Quality Control. Finishing uses 500 square feet. When assigning indirect costs to each activity, how much factory rent should be assigned to the Preparation and Setup cost pool
Answer:
$639
Explanation:
Rent assigned to preparation and setup = Total rent / Total space * Space used by preparation and setup
= $2,800 / 5,700 * 1,300
= 638.5965
= $639
Therefore, the factory rent that would be assigned to Preparation and Setup cost pool is $639.
Warbler Gift's reported the following information for the sales of their single product: Total Per Unit Sales $ 300,000 $ 10 Variable expenses 180,000 6 Contribution margin 120,000 $ 4 Fixed expenses 100,000 Net operating income $ 20,000 Warbler's salesmen have proposed to decrease the selling price by 50 cents per unit. How many units will need to be sold for Warbler to earn at least the same net operating income
Answer: Requitred units =34,285.7 units
Explanation:
GIVEN
Total Per Unit Sales
$ 300,000 $ 10
Variable expenses 180,000 $6
Contribution margin 120,000 $ 4
Fixed expenses 100,000
Net operating income $ 20,000
New selling price=Old price - prosed price
=$10-$0.5 = $9.5
Revised contribution margin= Selling price-Variable costs
= $9.5-$6=$3.5
Proposed Contribution margin=Net operating income + Fixed expenses.
=(100,000 +20,000)= $120,000
Required units to be sold=Proposed Contribution margin/Contribution margin per unit
= $120,000/$3.5
=34,285.7 units
Heels, a shoe manufacturer, is evaluating the costs and benefits of new equipment that would custom fit each pair of athletic shoes. The customer would have his or her foot scanned by digital computer equipment; this information would be used to cut the raw materials to provide the customer a perfect fit. The new equipment costs $107,000 and is expected to generate an additional $43,000 in cash flows for five years. A bank will make a $107,000 loan to the company at a 15% interest rate for this equipment’s purchase. Compute the recovery time for both the payback period and break-even time. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Chart Values are Based on:
10%
Cumulative Cash Inflow Present Value of Inflow Year Present Value PV Factor (Outflow) (Outflow)
(91,000) x 1.0000- (91,000) $ (91,000) 36,000 x 36,000 x 2.5 years
Answer:
Payback period = 2.49 years
Break-even time = 3.36 years
Explanation:
a. Calculation of payback period
The payback period can be described as the amount of time it will take a firm recover its cost on a project or an investment.
The payback period can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = $107,000
Annual cash flow = $43,000
Payback period = Equipment cost / Annual cash flow = $107,000 / $43,000 = 2.49 years
b. Calculation of break-even time
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation of the cumulative present value of inflow (outflow).
In the attached excel, the present value (PV) factor is calculated using the following formula:
PV factor = 1/(1 + r)^n ............................... (1)
Where;
r = interest rate = 15%
n = a particular year from 1 to 5.
Break even time can be described as the amount of time that is needed for both the discounted cash flows and the initial cost of a project to be equal.
The break-even time is calculated using the following formula:
Break-even time = X + (Y / Z) .................... (2)
X = Last year with a negative cumulative cash flow = 3
Y = Absolute value of cumulative cash flow at the end of period X = $8,821.32
Z = Present value of cash inflow for the period following X = $24,585.39
Break-even time = 3 + ($8,821.32 / $24,585.39) = 3 + 0.36 = 3.36 years
Jefferson Corp. decided to change its inventory valuation method from first in, first out (FIFO) to last in, first out (LIFO) in a period of rising prices. What was the result of the change for the ending inventory and net income?
a. Increases
b. Decreases
Answer:
decreases
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
In a period of rising prices, changing from FIFO to LIFO means that the latest purchased goods would be of higher prices than the older goods. This would increase cost of goods sold and reduce net income.
Also, ending inventory would consist of older goods purchased at lower prices
Both net income and ending inventory would decrease
The sticky-price theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that if the price level rises by 5% while firms were expecting it to rise by 2%, then some firms with high menu costs will have:________.
Answer:
to keep their prices the same
Explanation:
Remember, having a higher Menu cost implies that such a firm would suffer more if it adjusted its prices.
So the sticky-price theory makes the assumption that a firm that notices an increase in the prices of their products would keep their prices low out of fear that doing so would result in losses for the firm if demand changes negatively.

Assume Brad has a choice between two deposit accounts. Account WH has an annual percentage rate of 7.35% with interest compounded continuously. Account MW has an annual percentage rate of 7.45% with interest compounded monthly. Which account provides the highest effective annual return?
Answer: Account MW which compounds monthly provides a higher effective rate at 7.71%
Explanation:
Use the Effective Interest rate formula to see which offers the higher return.
Account WH;
Compounded continuously;
= e^(interest rate) - 1
= e^7.35% - 1
= 7.63%
Account MW
Compounded per month
= (( 1 + interest / compounding period) ^ period) - 1
= (( 1 + 7.45%/12) ^ 12) -1
= 7.71%

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the market portfolio is expected to return 14%, what should MUSS’s stock sell for at the end of an investor's two year investment horizon?
Answer:
$30.2067
Explanation:
From the given question, using the dividend discount model
[tex]V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}[/tex]
where:
r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:
Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)
Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%
However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.
Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price
Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50
D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)
D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)
Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:
[tex]25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}[/tex]
By cross multiply, we have:
4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g
collect like terms, we have:
4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g
2.5625 = 26.5g
Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:
2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5
g = 9.67%
Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;
Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}[/tex]
where;
D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)
D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)
D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)
D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3
D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3
D₃ = $1.9876
Finally:
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}[/tex]
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{1.9876}{0.1625 - 0.0967}[/tex]
Y₂ = $30.2067

[x] = 10
Now, from CLT, (x - Ц)/б follows
Standard normal distribution
So, P(x ≥ 224) = P [(x - Ц )/б ≥ (224 - 214) / 10
= p ( z ≥ 1)
= 0.15866
The probability of the project being completed by 224 days is 0.15.
Given that,
A project being analyzed by PERT has 60 activities, 13 of which are on the critical path.
If the estimated time along the critical path is 214 days with a project variance of 100.
We have to determine,
What is the probability that the project will take 224 days or more to complete?
According to the question,
The probability that the project will take 224 days is determined by the formula;
[tex]\rm Z = \dfrac{X-mean}{Standard \ deviation}[/tex]
Where X is 224 and the mean is 214.
The value of the standard deviation is,
[tex]\rm Standard \ deviation = \sqrt{varience}\\\\Standard \ deviation = \sqrt{100}\\\\Standard \ deviation = 10\\[/tex]
Substitute all the values in the formula,
[tex]\\\rm Z = \dfrac{X-mean}{Standard \ deviation}\\\\\rm Z = \dfrac{224-214}{10}\\\\Z = \dfrac{10}{10}\\\\Z= 1[/tex]
For z = 1, the probability is 0.15;
Hence, The probability of the project being completed by 224 days is 0.15.

On October 1, 2020, Jackson Chemical was identified as a potentially responsible party by the Environmental Protection Agency. Jackson's management along with its counsel have concluded that it is probable that Jackson will be responsible for damages, and a reasonable estimate of these damages is $5,000,000. Jackson's insurance policy of $9,000,000 has a deductible clause of $500,000. How should Jackson Chemical report this information in its financial statements at December 31, 2020
Answer:
Jackson Chemical should report the $5,000,000 loss because we don't know if the insurance will actually pay out the policy.
Explanation:
Jackson chemical has to report $500,000 loss associated with the deductible would be accrued as liability in the company's financial statements at Dec 31, 2020 since it is probably that Jackson will be responsible for the damages.
$500,000 is the amount of the insurance policy's deductible Jackson will have to pay to receive the policy's benefits, which will cover the reasonably estimated damages.
If Joel earns a 7 percent after-tax rate of return, $27,000 received in two years is worth how much today
Answer: $23571
Explanation:
For this question, we have to calculate the present value of $27,000 with the given rate and the time that have already been given in the question to know the worth tiday. This will then be:
= $27,000 x PVIF (7%, 2)
= $27,000 x 0.873
= $23,571

You would like to evlauate pursuing a new computing tool for your team. The new workstation would impact 10 of your campany staff and cost about $5,500. You expect the new work stations to have a yearly maintenance and operation cost of 20% of the initial cost. At the end of the 3 year life cycle you think the new workstation can have a salvage value of 5% of the initial cost. What is the present worth of the new stations if you use an internal MARR of 17%
Answer:
-7,759.29 dollar
Explanation:
cost of maintenance and operation
initial cost of $5500 x 20%
= 1100 Dollars
salvage value
initial cost of $5500 x 5%
= $275
pw = -5500-1100(p/a,17%,3) +275(p/f,17%,3)
pw = -5500-(1100*2.21) + (275*0.6244)
pw = -5500-2431+17.71
= -7759.29
so pw, that is present worth of new stations using internal MARR of 17% is -7759.29 dollars
The accounting records for Portland Products report the following manufacturing costs for the past year. Direct materials $ 390,000 Direct labor 261,000 Variable overhead 235,000 Production was 180,000 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead was $851,000. For the coming year, costs are expected to increase as follows: direct materials costs by 20 percent, excluding any effect of volume changes; direct labor by 4 percent; and fixed manufacturing overhead by 10 percent. Variable manufacturing overhead per unit is expected to remain the same. Required: a. Prepare a cost estimate for a volume level of 144,000 units of product this year. b. Determine the costs per unit for last year and for this year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary costs:
Direct materials= 390,000/180,000= $2.17
Direct labor= 261,000/180,000= $1.45
Variable overhead= 235,000/180,000= $1.31
Now, we determine the new costs:
Direct materials= 2.17*1.2= $2.604
Direct labor= 1.45*1.04= $1.508
Fixed overhead= 851,000*1.1= $936,100
Total cost for 144,000 units:
Total cost= 144,000*(2,604 + 1,508 + 1.31) + 936,100
Total cost= 144,000*5.422 + 936,100
Total cost= $1,716,868
Finally, the unitary cos for both years:
Last year= 2.17 + 1.45 + 1.31= $4.93
This year= $5.422
