Murray Company reports net income of $770,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 350,000 shares. Compute its basic earnings per share.
Answer:
EPS = 2.2
Explanation:
Earning per share is the amount due to each of the ordinary shareholders after settlement of interest due on loans , preferred dividends and tax.
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders ÷ Units of shares
Where ;
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders = Net income - Preferred dividends
EPS = $770,000 - 0 ÷ 350,000 shares
EPS = $2.2
TB MC Qu. 6-63 Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses ... Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $23,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $78,000
Answer:
Net operating income= $26,140
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $23,000
The contribution margin ratio is 63%.
Sales= $78,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= contribution margin ratio*sales
Contribution margin= 0.63*78,000
Contribution margin= 49,140
Net operating income= 49,140 - 23,000= $26,140

assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.90 and autonomous consumption expenditures equals $100 billion. Further, assume that planned investment spending is
Answer:
$4 trillion or $4,000 billion$3.5 trillion or $3,500 billionExplanation:
1. Equilibrium Output or GDP is calculated by the expression;
Output or Y = Consumption + Investment + Government expenditure + Net exports
Net exports and Government expenditure are assumed to be 0.
Consumption = 100 + 0.9Y
Investment = $300 billion
Y = 100 + 0.9Y + 300
Y - 0.9Y = 400
Y = 400/0.1
Y = $4,000 billion
2. Y = 50 + 0.9Y + 300
Y - 0.9Y = 350
0.1Y = 350
Y = 350/0.1
Y = $3,500 Billion

Henry, a new human resources coordinator, has been asked to calculate the past month's turnover rate. He has divided the number of people who have left the company during that month (11) by the number of employees hired
(10), and then multiplied that by 100. But the number he
has come up with, 110 percent, is way too high and
doesn't make any sense. What should have Henry done
to avoid his error?
He should have multiplied the cost to
terminate by the cost per hire.
He should have multiplied by 10, not 100.
He should have divided the number of
employees hired by the cost to hire them.
He should have divided the number of people
who have left the company by the average
number of employees that month.
Answer:
he should have multiplied by 10, not 100
Explanation:
Three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that the equilibrium price will ________ and the equilibrium quantity will ________.
Answer: higher; lower
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that there will be a rise in the equilibrium price while there will be a reduction in the equilibrium quantity.
This is because when one producer leaves, there will be less supply of the good that is sold, this will eventually lead to a rise in price.
Crane Company distributes to consumers coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers for discounts on certain products of Crane. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Crane. In Crane's experience, 50% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Crane receives it. During 2018 Crane issued two separate series of coupons as follows:
Issued On Total Value Consumer Expiration Date Amount Disbursed as of 12/31/18
1/1/18 $510000 6/30/18 $234000

An insurance company will only sell its Select policy to people for whom the probability of a stroke in the next ten years is less than .01. If a smoker with a systolic blood pressure of 230 applies for a Select policy, under what condition will the company sell him the policy if it adheres to this standard?
Answer:
The insurance company would only sell the Select Policy insurance to a smoker with systolic blood pressure of 230 if after carrying out a medical test, t was found out that, the probability of him or her having a stroke is actually less than 0.01.
This is to insure that, the smoker didn't capitalise on his dying nature in-order to obtained the insurance thereby defrauding the insurance company.
Explanation:
You are considering an investment in software company. The beta of software companies is 1.5. The annual risk-free rate is 2% and the annual market premium is 8%. The expected annual profit from the software subscription is $100,000 and it is expected to grow at the rate of 6% per year. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay for the company? A. $1,370,925.78 B. $1,250,000.00 C. $1,123,221.12 D. $908,153.55
Answer:
Maximum price = $ 1,325,000
Explanation:
The maximum price to be paid for the company is the present value of the annual profit discounted at the rate of return on equity.
The return on equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
Ke= ?., Rf- 2%, Rm-Rf - 8%
Ke- 2% + 1.5× (8%)= 14 %
Price for the company can now be determined using the present value of the perpetuity formula with growth as follows:
The model is represented below:
P = A ×(1+g)/ ke- g
DATA
A- 100,000
g- 6%
ke- 14%
Price = 100,000× (1.06)/(0.14-0.06)= $ 1,325,000
Maximum price = $ 1,325,000

For the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs of $27,600,000, a unit variable cost of $805, and a unit selling price of $1,150.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $5,175,000.units
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $27,600,000
Unitary variable cost= $805
Unit selling price= $1,150
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 27,600,000 / (1,150 - 805)
Break-even point in units= 80,000 units
Desired income= $5,175,000
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (27,600,000 + 5,175,000) / 345
Break-even point in units= 95,000 units
JWU Company has been growing at a rate of 5% for the past two years and is expected to continue for several years. The company paid a Dividend of $2.00 last year. If your required rate of return is 13%, what is the current value of this company’s stock?
A. $26.25
B. $15.38

Explanation:
If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?
Explanation:
Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs FoundationPsychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.Hope it will help you.I would answer some questions honestly but if there are some questions which i can't tell the truth i will tell some lies. because if u really like this job and don't want to loose it, it's ok to give wrong answers just for once! That's my opinion. :p. But be careful u might get in trouble if they find out ur lying!
You own a stock portfolio invested 30 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 20 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .95, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.30, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Portfolio beta = 1.1075
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in portfolioPortfolio beta = 0.30 * 0.95 + 0.25 * 1.12 + 0.25 * 1.13 + 0.20 * 1.30
Portfolio beta = 1.1075

IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:
Answer:
The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings
Explanation:
Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80
Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50
Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.
Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90
McConnel corporation has bonds on the market with 16.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.7 percent, a par value of 1000 and current price of 1065. The bonds make semiannual payment and have a par value of $1,000.Required:What must the coupon rate be on these bonds?
Answer:
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n)= 16.5 * 2 = 33
r or YTM = 7.7% * 1/2 = 3.85% or 0.0385
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Using the bond price formula and the available values, we calculate the coupon rate to be,
1065 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.0385)^-33) / 0.0385] + 1000 / (1+0.0385)^33
1065 = x * (18.50739407) + 287.4653284
1065 - 287.4653284 = x * 18.50739407
777.5346716 / 18.50739407 = x
x = 42.012 rounded off to $42.01
If the semi annual coupon payment is $42.01, the annual coupon payment will be 42.01 * 2 = $84.02
The coupon rate on bonds is = 84.02 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unit produced 11,000
Variable cost per unit:
Direct materials $150
Direct labor $450
Variable manufacturing overhead $47
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing:
Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647
Absorption costing:
Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82
Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82
