Bronco Corp. has decided to establish a subsidiary in Taiwan that will produce stereos and sell them locally in the country. It expects that its cost of producing these stereos will be one third the cost of producing them in the United States. Assuming that its production cost estimates are accurate, is Bronco‘s strategy sensible? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Based on the description provided it can be said that Bronco's strategy is not sensible. This is because Bronco Corp. has recognized an advantage of producing stereos in Taiwan as opposed to the U.S but this is only an advantage if they sell those same stereos that were produced in the Taiwan subsidiary to the U.S. markets. Otherwise they will be selling the stereos at a much lower price in the Taiwan market, which will ultimately not be an advantage.

Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 8.98%

Explanation:

total value of equity = $68 x 7,000,000 = $476,000,000

cost of equity:

$68 = $3.4125 / (rrr - 5%)

rrr - 5% = 5.02%

rrr = 10.02%

total value of debt:

$70 million x 0.97 = $67,900,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 970)/21]} / [(1,000 + 970)/2] = 61.43 / 985 = 6.24%

$40 million x 1.08 = $43,200,000

YTM = {65 + [(1,000 - 1,080)/6]} / [(1,000 + 1,080)/2] = 51.67 / 1,040 = 4.97%

weighted cost of debt = ($67,900,000 / $111,100,000 x 6.24%) + ($43,200,000 / $111,100,000 x 4.97%) = 3.81% + 1.93% = 5.74%

total value of the firm = $476,000,000 + $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $587,100,000

equity weight = $476,000,000 / $587,100,000 = 0.81076

debt weight = 1 - 0.81076 =  0.18924

WACC = (0.81076 x 10.02%) + (0.18924 x 5.74% x 0.79) = 8.12% + 0.86 = 8.98%

A. -$540.0 million.
B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.

Answers

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

2. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Answers

Answer:

Ending Inventory = $1,716.00

Cost of Sales = $15,069.00

Sales Revenue = $20,910.00

Gross Profit = $5,841.00

Explanation:

FIFO Method assumes that the first goods received by the busines will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

Ending Inventory :

Under FIFO, any remaining inventory will be valued as if they were the latest goods purchased.

Ending Inventory : 44 units  × $39.00 = $1,716.00

Cost of Goods Sold Calculation :

Cost of Sales :       41 units × $33.00   =   $1,353.00

                              121 units × $35.00  =  $4,235.00

                              191 units × $38.00  =  $7,258.00

                               57 units × $39.00 =  $2,223.00

                              Total                       =  $15,069.00

Sales Revenue Calculation ;

Sales Revenue = Units Sold × Selling Price

                         = 410 units × $51

                         = $20,910.00

Gross Profit Calculation :

Sales                                   $20,910.00

Less Cost of Goods Sold  ($15,069.00)

Gross Profit                           $5,841.00

Answers

Answer:

PJenn Partnership

a. The amount and character of Justin's recognized gain or loss:

Justin has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

b. Justin's remaining basis in his partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

c. The amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss:

Lauren has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

d. Lauren's basis in the distributed assets is $22,000, which is her outside basis.

e.Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partner Outside Basis    Partner Distribution

Justin $22,000              $25,000 cash

Lauren 22,000             $18,000 cash + $7,000 in property

Property $2,000 to Partnership

Justin and Lauren's recognized gain or loss is determined by the amount of the sale minus the partner's interest, which is often referred to as the partner's outside basis.

Justin's and Lauren's remaining basis in the partnership is the amount of the fair market value of property remaining after Lauren's share in the property.

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?

Answers

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%.

Answers

Answer:

A lot of information was missing, so I looked for a similar question but couldn't find one with the same exact numbers, but I believe the following question should be very similar and you can use it as an example:

a.On July 31, the company’s Cash account has a $24,756 debit balance, but its July bank statement shows a $26,449 cash balance.

b.Check No. 3031 for $1,270 and Check No. 3040 for $627 were outstanding on the June 30 bank reconciliation. Check No. 3040 is listed with the July canceled checks, but Check No. 3031 is not. Also, Check No. 3065 for $411 and Check No. 3069 for $2,038, both written in July, are not among the canceled checks on the July 31 statement.

c.In comparing the canceled checks on the bank statement with the entries in the accounting records, it is found that Check No. 3056 for July rent was correctly written and drawn for $1,240 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $1,230.

d.A credit memorandum enclosed with the July bank statement indicates the bank collected $9,000 cash on a non-interest-bearing note for Branch, deducted a $45 collection fee, and credited the remainder to its account. Branch had not recorded this event before receiving the statement.

e. A debit memorandum for $805 lists a $795 NSF check plus a $10 NSF charge. The check had been received from a customer, Evan Shaw. Branch has not yet recorded this check as NSF.

f.Enclosed with the July statement is a $14 debit memorandum for bank services. It has not yet been recorded because no previous notification had been received.

In an Oligopoly industry a change in price by one firm will _____ impact the other firms in the industry.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is significantly.

Explanation:

Oligopoly is a market situation in which there are few sellers, selling similar goods and services and many buyers. The barriers to entry in this market in high. Example of a oligopoly market is OPEC.

The competition amongst the few sellers is high because they are selling the same thing and a change in price by one firm will significantly affect other firms in the industry. For example, if a firm reduces the price of its goods, this creates a price war and other firms to start reducing their price to match the lower price. And if another firm increases its price, consumers will switch to competitors

On January 1, 2021, Kendall Inc. began construction of an automated cattle feeder system. The system was finished and ready for use on September 30, 2022. Expenditures on the project were as follows:January 1, 2021 $290,000 September 1, 2021 $408,000 December 31, 2021 $408,000 March 31, 2022 $408,000 September 30, 2022 $290,000 Kendall borrowed $786,000 on a construction loan at 12% interest on January 1, 2021. This loan was outstanding throughout the construction period. The company had $4,680,000 in 9% bonds payable outstanding in 2021 and 2022.Interest capitalized for 2021 was:__________

Answers

Answer:

Interest capitalized for 2021 was $51,120.

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the weighted-average method of calculating capitalized interest which is calculated as the multiplication of interest rate and the sum of the weight of each expenditure based on the number of months within a year. This can be stated mathematically as follows:

Therefore, the interest capitalized for 2021 can be calculated as follows:

Weighted expenditure from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 = $290,000 * (12 months / 12 months) = $290,000.

Weighted expenditure from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 =$408,000 * (4 months / 12 months) = $136,000.

Weighted expenditure from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2021 = $408,000 * (0 months / 12 months) = $0.

Sum of weighted expenditure for for 2021 = $290,000 + $136,000 + $0 = $426,000

Interest capitalized for 2021 = Sum of weighted expenditure for for 2021 * Interest on construction loan = $426,000 * 12% = $51,120

Therefore, interest capitalized for 2021 was $51,120.

D. it has a lot of power to affect the inflation rate, but not the unemployment rate

Answers

Answer:

C. it has more power to affect the economy than any other institution

Explanation:

The FED manages the monetary policy affecting the economy's money supply. This in turn affects interest rates directly. It also has an enormous indirect influence on economic growth (it can stimulate it or cool it), currency value, value of stock markets, unemployment (directly related to economic growth), etc.

The FED is probably the institution that influences the economy the most.

Explanation:

Mathys Inc. has recently hired a new independent auditor, Karen Ogleby, who says she wants "to get everything straightened out." Consequently, she has proposed the following accounting changes in connection with Mathys Inc.'s 2017 financial statements.1. At December 31, 2016, the client had a receivable of $820,000 from Hendricks Inc. on its balance sheet. Hendricks Inc. has gone bankrupt, and no recovery is expected. The client proposes to write off the receivable as a prior period item.2. The client proposes the following changes in depreciation policies.(a) For office furniture and fixtures, it proposes to change from a 10-year useful life to an 8-year life. If this change had been made in prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $250,000 less. The effect of the change on 2017 income alone is a reduction of $60,000.(b) For its new equipment in the leasing division, the client proposes to adopt the sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation method. The client had never used SYD before. The first year the client operated a leasing division was 2017. If straight-line depreciation were used, 2017 income would be $110,000 greater.3.In preparing its 2016 statements, one of the client's bookkeepers overstated ending inventory by $235,000 because of a mathematical error. The client proposes to treat this item as a prior period adjustment.4. In the past, the client has spread preproduction costs in its furniture division over 5 years. Because its latest furniture is of the "fad" type, it appears that the largest volume of sales will occur during the first 2 years after introduction. Consequently, the client proposes to amortize preproduction costs on a per-unit basis, which will result in expensing most of such costs during the first 2 years after the furniture's introduction. If the new accounting method had been used prior to 2017, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $375,000 less.5. For the nursery division, the client proposes to switch from FIFO to LIFO inventories because it believes that LIFO will provide a better matching of current costs with revenues. The effect of making this change on 2017 earnings will be an increase of $320,000. The client says that the effect of the change on December 31, 2016, retained earnings cannot be determined.6. To achieve an appropriate recognition of revenues and expenses in its building construction division, the client proposes to switch from the completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Had the percentage-of-completion method been employed in all prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $1,075,000 greater.Instructions(a) For each of the changes described above, decide whether:(1) The change involves an accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error.(2) Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.(b) What would be the proper adjustment to the December 31, 2016, retained earnings?

Answers

Answer:

Mathys Inc.

a. (1) Change in accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error:

1. Write-off of Accounts Receivable = Change in accounting estimate

2. Changes in depreciation policies = Changes in accounting estimate for the office furniture and the introduction of the sum-of-years' digit for the new leasing division's equipment.

3. Overstated Ending Inventory = Correction of an error

4. New accounting method for pre-production costs = Change in accounting estimate

5. Change from FIFO to LIFO = Change in accounting principle

6. Change from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method = Change in accounting principle

a. (2) If Restatement of opening retained earnings is required:

1. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

2. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

3. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

4. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

5. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

6. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.

b) December 31, 2016 Retained Earnings Adjustments:

3. Debit Retained Earnings = ($235,000)

5. Debit Retained Earnings = ($320,000)

6. Credit Retained EArnings = $1,075,000

Net effect on 2016 Retained Earnings = an increase of $520,000

Explanation:

a) Data:

1. December 31, 2016 Write-off of Receivable (Hendricks Inc.) = $820,000

2. Changes in depreciation policies:

a) Office Furniture and Fixtures 10-year to 8-year useful life: Effect on Retained Earnings at December 31, 2016 = $250,000 less.  Effect on 2017 Income = $60,000 less.

b) Equipment: sum-of-the-years' digits depreciation method:  Effect on 2017 income = $110,000 more.

3. Ending inventory for 2016 overstated by $235,000 Prior period adjustment.

4. Preproduction costs for furniture division: New accounting method.  Effect on 2016 Retained earnings = $375,000 less.

5. Inventories for Nursery division, from FIFO to LIFO to match current costs with revenues.  Effect on 2017, an increase in Earnings = $320,000.

6. Building Construction Division from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method.  Effect on Retained Earnings 2016 = $1,075,000 greater.

b) Mathys Inc. must correct accounting errors by adjusting previously issued financial statements retrospectively.  An example of an accounting error is the overstatement of the ending inventory by $235,000.  This implies that the 2016 Retained Earnings were overstated.

c) A good example of a change in accounting estimate is the change Mathys Inc. made of the office furniture's useful life from 10 years to 8.  Such changes are not applied retroactively to prior years' financial statements.

d) When Marthys Inc. change the inventory valuation method from LIFO to FIFO, it made a change in an accounting principle.  Such principle changes are done retroactively, with the restatement of the financial statements.

Coronado Industries is planning to sell 900 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 470 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a 0.25 hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $22 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Coronado has 4700 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 3900 pounds in ending inventory. What is the total amount to be budgeted in pounds for direct materials to be purchased for the month

Answers

Answer:

Total pounds= 19,880

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 470 boxes

Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix

Beginning inventory= 4,700 pounds

Desired ending inventory= 3,900 pounds

To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Direct material budget (in pounds):

Production= 470*44= 20,680

Desired ending inventory= 3,900

Beginning inventory= (4,700)

Total pounds= 19,880

At the beginning of this year, daily consumption of gasoline in the US amounted to 344 million gallons. It is estimated that for every 10% increase in the price of gasoline, quantity demanded falls by 1.9%. By the end of this year, the price of gasoline is expected to increase by 40 cents from $ 3.05 per gallon. Based on this information, what is the expected quantity demanded (QD) for gasoline at the end of this year

Answers

Answer:

335.43 million gallons

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

PED = -1.9% / 10% = -0.19, very inelastic

expected price increase $0.40

% change in price = ($3.45 - $3.05) / $3.05 = 13.11%

% change in quantity demanded:

-0.19 = D / 13.11%

D = 2.49%

quantity demanded will decrease by 2.49%, from 344 million gallons to 335.43 million gallons

Consider a firm with a 2007 net income of $20 million, revenue of $60 million and cost of goods sold of $25 million. If the balance sheet amounts show $2 million of inventory and $500,000 of property, plant & equipment, what is the inventory turnover?

Answers

Answer:

Inventory turnover days = 29.2 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is the average length of time it takes the item of stock to be sold and replaced. It can be measured in days or the number of times.

it can be calculated in days or in number of times

Inventory turnover number of times = cost of goods sold/average inventory

Inventory turnover days = (Average inventory /cost of good sold)× 365 days

It shorter the  Inventory turnover  in days the better. We will use the days formula.

Note average inventory = (opening inventory + closing inventory)/2

However, the average inventory concept will not be applicable in this question because the opening inventory figure is not given. Hence, we will use the closing inventory figure to represent the average inventory

Inventory turnover days = 2,000,000/25,000,000× 365 days= 29.2

Inventory turnover days = 29.2 days

Answers

Answer: the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.

Explanation:

Based on the question, if there is a scenario whereby the discount rate to the federal funds rate is lower, the logical thing to do is to borrow from the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.

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.

Answers

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
