Refer to the balance sheet above. If in 2006 Luther has 10.2 million shares outstanding and these shares are trading at $16 per share, then what is Luther's enterprise value?
A. -$540.0 million.
B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.
Answer:
C. $385.7m
Explanation:
Enterprise value = Market value of equity + Market value of all types of debt - Cash in the balance sheet
Market value of equity = Current share price × number of shares outstanding
= $16 × 10.2 million shares
= $163,200,000
Market value of all types of shares = Market value of long term debt + Market value of current portion of long term debt + notes payable / short term debt
We assume that market value of debts = Book value of debts
Therefore,
Market value of debt = $227m + $40.7m + $10.9m
= $278.6 m
Cash in the balance sheet = $56.10 m
Therefore;
Enterprise value = $163.20m + $278.60 - $56.1
=$385.7 m
Keating Co. is considering disposing of equipment with a cost of $55,000 and accumulated depreciation of $38,500. Keating Co. can sell the equipment through a broker for $29,000, less a 5% broker commission. Alternatively, Gunner Co. has offered to lease the equipment for five years for a total of $45,000. Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $12,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is
Answer:
$9,250
Explanation:
Calculation for the net differential income from the lease alternative
Lease amount=$45,000
Estimated expenses=$12,000
Net sale of equipment=Sale of equipment through broker $25,000 less 5% commission
Using this formula
Net differential income = Lease amount - estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net differential income= $45,000-$12,000-($25,000-($25,000*5%)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-($25,000-$1,250)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-$23,750
Net differential income=$45,000-$35,750
Net differential income=$9,250
Therefore net differential income from the lease alternative is $9,250
Omega's policy is to have 30% of the following month's sales in inventory. On January 1, inventory equaled 8,000 units. February production in units is:
Answer: d. 36,000
Explanation:
February Production Units = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening inventory
Closing Inventory
= 30% of following month's sales
= 30% * March sales
= 30% * 50,000
= 15,000
Opening Inventory February = Closing inventory for January
= 30% * February sales
= 30% * 30,000
= 9,000
February Production Units = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening inventory
= 30,000 + 15,000 - 9,000
= 36,000

You're about to buy a new car for $10,000. The dealer offers you a one-year loan where you pay $860.66 every month for the next 12 months. Since you pay $860.66 * 12 = $10,328 in total, the dealer claims that the loan's annual interest rate is (10,328-10,000)/10,000 = 3.28%. What is the actual effective annual rate?
Answer:
The actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.
Explanation:
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to an interest rate has been adjusted for compounding over specified period of time.
Effective annual rate can therefore be described as the interest rate that paid to an investor in a year after compounding has been adjusted for.
Effective annual rate can be computed using the following formula:
EAR = [(1 + (i / n))^n] - 1 .............................(1)
Where;
i = Annual interest rate claimed by the dealer = 3.28%, or 0.0328
n = Number of compounding periods or months = 12
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
EAR = [(1 + (0.0328 / 12))^12] - 1 = 0.0332976137123635
EAR = 0.0333, or 3.33% approximately.
Therefore, the actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.
Assuming Digby’s current market share for its Drat product remains the same, how many units of Drat should Digby expect to sell in the primary segment for the upcoming year?
Available Options Are:
A. 401 units
B. 294 units
C. 441 units
D. 305 units
Answer:
Option C. 441 Units
Explanation:
The first thing would be to analyze the situation. It is crystal clear in the Accessibility Elite table that the accessibility of Digby products are 2nd largest among the rival companies.
Now we will look at whether the company has taken advantage of its second largest accessibility position or not. This can be seen in Actual Vs Potential Market Share table. The units produced were sold in the year which means that the accessibility of the product is even more than its rivals as the market share captured in the year by Digby is above 40%. This means that their is an increased demand for Digby's Product. This can also be seen by segment growth rate in the Elite Statistics (Top Left Corner) which is anticipated to be at 16%.
All these things says that Digby must produce as much as possible, hence quantity would be a greater number.

A corporation declared a stock dividend on November 1 and issued 9,000 shares of stock to its stockholders. Prior to the dividend, the balance in Retained Earnings was $850,000, the number of shares of $5 par value stock issued and outstanding was 60,000, and the market value of the stock was $12. This stock dividend will cause total stockholders' equity to:
a. decrease by $63,000.
b. remain unchanged.
c. increase by $45,000.
d. decrease by $108,000.
Answer:
b. remain unchanged.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Decrease in retained earnings would be
= 9,000 shares × $12
= $108,000
Increase in common stock is
= 9,000 shares × $5
= $45,000
Therefore the Paid up capital in excess of par is
= $108,000 - $45,000
= $63,000
Now
Effect on stockholder’s equity is
= -$108,000 + $45,000 + $63,000

Lacy's Linen Mart uses the average cost retail method to estimate inventories. Data for the first six months of 2021 include: beginning inventory at cost and retail were $60,000 and $120,000, net purchases at cost and retail were $312,000 and $480,000, and sales during the first six months totaled $490,000. The estimated inventory at June 30, 2021, would be:
Answer: $68,200
Explanation:
Estimated inventory = Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made * Cost Retail Ratio
Retail value of Goods Available for Sale
= Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail price of Purchases
= 120,000 + 480,000
= $600,000
Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made
= 600,000 - 490,000
= $110,000
Cost to retail price ratio
= (Cost of Beginning Inventory + Cost of Purchases) / (Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail Price of Purchases)
= (60,000 + 312,000) / (120,000 + 480,000)
= 62%
Ending inventory
= 110,000 × 62%
= $68,200
In October, Novak Company reports 20,100 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $198,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 22,000 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $9.10 per direct labor hour. In addition, the flexible manufacturing overhead budget shows that budgeted costs are $7.40 variable per direct labor hour and $42,400 fixed. Compute the overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
The answer is $7,200U
Explanation:
The formula for computing the overhead controllable variance is:
Actual overhead - budgeted overhead
We need to first calculate the budgeted overhead from the question.
Budgeted overhead = (budgeted cost x standard hours) + fixed labor cost
($7.40 x 22,000 hours) + $42,400
= $205,200
Actual overhead incurred is $198,000
Therefore we have:
$198,000 - $205,200
= $7,200U
The U means unfavorable, meaning actual overhead incurred is less than budgeted overhead

Answer:
The allowance can be taken based on:
a reduction (production) of the oil and gas reserves.
Explanation:
A limited partnership's allowance for depletion is a special form of depreciation used to account for the gradual reduction in the value of natural resources based on their usage or consumption. There are two methods for recognizing depletion of natural resources. They are the cost depletion method, which is based on usage, and the percentage depletion method, which is a percentage of gross earnings. Then, depletion is different from depreciation, in that depreciation is for tangible assets, while depletion is for natural assets.
