Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
The computation of the owner's capital balance at the end of the period is shown below:-
Owner's Capital balance at the end = Capital balance in the beginning + Additional investments + Net Income - Withdrawals
= $100,000 + 0 + $50,000 - $25,000
= $125,000
Therefore for computing the owner's capital balance at the end we simply applied the above formula.

A project has cash flows of -152,000, 60,800, 62300, and 75000 for years 0 to 3 respectively. The required rate of return is 13 years percent. Based on the internal rate of return of__________percent, you should________the project.
Answer:
Based on the IRR of 14.05 percent, you should be accept the project
Explanation:
Internal rate of Return is the discount rate of that equates the present value of cash inflows to the initial cost. It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to evaluate a project without causing harm to the shareholders.
It is calculated as follows:
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
NPV = PV of cash inflows - initial cost
Step 1: NPVa at 13% discount rate
PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.13^(-1) + 62300 ×1.13^(-2) + 75000 ×1.13^(-3)
= 154,574.11
NPVa = 154,574.11 - 152000 = 2,574.11
Step 2: NPVb at 20%
PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.20^(-1) + 62300 ×1.20^(-2) + 75000 ×1.20^(-3) = 137,333.33
NPVb = 137,333.33 - 152,000 = (14,666.67)
Step 3: IRR
IRR = 13% + ( 2,574.11 /(2,574.11 + 14,666.67) )× (20-13)%
IRR = 14.05%
Based on the IRR of 14.05%, the project you should be accept the project
Since the IRR (14.05%) is greater than the required rate rate (13%) , the project should be accepted. An IRR which is higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would increase the wealth of the shareholders
On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $1,850,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 7% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
Interest per six months =$64,750 .
Explanation:
Bonds are instruments used by companies, governments and other entries to borrow from the public.
They represent a contractual agreement where the borrower commits to pay a percentage of the principal amount borrowed plus the principal amount to the lender or investor.
The proportion of the amount borrowed which is paid as interest is called coupon. The interest payment is computed as the the coupon rate in percentage multiplied by the amount borrowed.
Interest payment = Coupon rate (%) × Nominal Value
Annual interest payment = 7% × 1,850,000 =$129,500
Semi-annual interest payment = Annual interest payment/2
Semi-annual interest payment =129,500 /2 =64,750 .
Interest per six months =$64,750 .
Note we had to divide by 2 because they are two six months in a year.
Blue Cab Company had 69,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 39,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 14,500 shares exercisable at $11 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $32 while the average price for the year was $31. The company reported net income in the amount of $364,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$3.38
Explanation:
The diluted earnings per share is calculated as;
First, we need to calculate the weighted average outstanding shares.
Weighted average outstanding share is
= Common shares + (Issued shares × 9/12[April - December] + [(Issued shares - Shares exercisable)
= 69,000 shares + (39,000 shares × 9/12) + ( 14,750* - 5,145*)
= 69,000 + 29,250 + 9,605
= 107,855
Therefore, the diluted earnings per share is;
= Net income / Weighted average outstanding shares
= $364,915 / 107,855
= $3.38
Note : (14,500 shares × 11) / 31
= 5,145
Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,820 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 8% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually.
Answer:
A.9.2%
B.8.16%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill
First step
T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value
Let plug in the formula
T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820
T-bill =$2,180/$97,820
T-bill =0.02228
Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100
Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%
B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .
First step
Semi-annual return=8%/2
Semi-annual return=4%
Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate
Using this formula
Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1
Let plug in the formula
Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1
Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100
Effective annual interest rate=8.16%
Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

Cost recovery. Richardses' Tree Farm, Inc. purchased a new aerial tree trimmer for $. It is classified in the property class category of a single-purpose agricultural and horticultural structure. Then the company sold the tree trimmer after four years of service. If a seven-year life and MACRS, LOADING..., was used for the depreciation schedule, what is the after-tax cash flow from the sale of the trimmer (use a % tax rate) if a. the sales price was $? b. the sales price was $? c. the sales price was $? a. If the sales price is $, what is the after-tax cash flow?
Answer:
after tax cash flow = $29,512.32
Explanation:
the numbers are missing in this question:
purchase cost = $82,000
tax rate = 40%
selling price at end of year 4 = $32,000
MACRS 7 year depreciation schedule:
year % depreciation expense carrying value
1 14.29% $11,717.80 $70,282.20
2 24.29% $19,917.80 $50,364.40
3 17.49% $14,341.80 $36,022.60
4 12.49% $10,241.80 $25,780.80
after tax cash flow = $32,000 - [($32,000 - $25,780.80) x 40%] = $32,000 - $2,487.68 = $29,512.32
The independent variable in the hypothesis "the longer a U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant, the more difficult it is for that worker to find new employment when the assembly plant moves to Mexico" is _____ .
Answer:
Independent Variable
"The longer a U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant..."
Explanation:
The independent variable is the element or variable that is independent of another variable. In this case, "how difficult it is for the line worker to find new employment when the assembly plant moves to Mexico" a dependent variable, which depends on the length of time that the "U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant," and not vice versa.
If a stock has a preemptive right, it gives current stockholders the right to purchase any new shares issued by the firm, so as to maintain their level of ownership. This right helps protect current stockholders against both dilution of control and dilution of value.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
When new shares are issued, the preemptive right helps maintain the position of the shareholder. The preemptive right is vital to shareholders as it protects them against the dilution of ownership interests.

Muy Bueno Bakery sells three different products. Currently they are not able to meet all of their customers' demand. Using the following information, determine the price of the cake needed to meet the same contribution margin as the cookies. Cake Pie Cookies Contribution margin $18 $11 $3 Production hours 2 1.5 .25 Variable cost $12 $7 $1 Contribution margin/hr. $9 $7.33 $12 Current selling price $30 $18 $5 a.$45 b.$30 c.$42 d.$36
Answer:
d. $36
Explanation:
The Contribution margin is the net of selling price and variable cost of a product. It is calculated by deducting the variable cost from the selling price of a product.
Cake Pie Cookies
Current selling price $30 $18 $5
Variable cost $12 $7 $1
Contribution margin $18 $11 $3
Production hours 2 1.5 0.25
Contribution margin/hr. $9 $7.33 $12
Required Contribution margin per hour of cake = $12
Required Contribution margin = $12 x 2 = $24
Required Selling Price = Contribution margin + variable cost = $24 + $12 = $36
Note there is a mistake in the calculation of Contribution margin of Cookies as it is given $3 but after deducting the variable cost from selling price is should be $4 ( $5 - $1 ), I used the given contribution margin for the calculation.

The company is thinking of introducing an off-road bike with a projected selling price of $ and a production and shipping cost of $. The projected annual sales for the off-road bike are . The company will lose sales in fat-tire bikes of units per year if it introduces the new bike, however. What is the erosion cost from the new bike? Should Fat Tire start producing the off-road bike? What is the erosion cost from the new bike?
Answer:
A. $1,725,000
B. Yes
Explanation:
Calculation for the erosion cost from the new bike
First step to find the erosion cost
Using this formula
Erosion cost =(Sales-Production and shipping cost )*Loss of sales units per year
Let plug in the formula
Erosion cost=(100-40)*7,500
Erosion cost=60*7,500
Erosion cost= $450,000
Second step is to calculate for the Net annual Cash flow using this formula
Net annual cash flow= (Projected selling price-Production and shipping cost)*Projected annual sales-Erosion cost
Let plug in the formula
Net annual cash flow= (370-225)*15,000 - 450,000
Net annual cash flow =145*15,000-450,000
Net annual cash flow =2,175,000-450,000
Net annual cash flow=$1,725,000
B.Yes Fat Tire start producing the off-road bike
Because the net annual cash flow is positive
"Your customer has been declared legally incompetent and his daughter has presented the proper legal papers appointing her as the guardian. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: B. Trading instructions can be accepted only from the daughter
Explanation:
The customer has been declared legally incompetent which means that he should not be making decisions that have to do with something as serious as trading instructions as he will not be able to comprehend them.
The only person that should therefore take over such roles would be his daughter who is a legal guardian. As she is not his guardian, she is able to take such decisions for him and so the trading instructions should be accepted only from the daughter.

When convertible preferred stock is converted into common stock:______.
a. cash is debited.
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.
Answer:
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.
Explanation:
Convertible preferred stock is an option for shareholders with preferred shares where they have the choice of converting their preferred shares to common shares. The conversion is best done at a time when the common stock is above the conversion price. At this time, the stockholder can make a profit or gain. But if the common share is below the conversion price, the shareholder would most likely record a loss if he converts.
One disadvantage of this conversion process is that, once the preferred stock is converted to the common stock, the preferred shareholder gives up his rights as a preferred shareholder which includes no fixed dividends and higher claims on assets.

Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so? What could be done to improve the situation?
Answer:
Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so?
it might be so because managers may feel that performance appraisal is not as productive as other activities, or because they lack the personal skills, or the motivation, to engage in that activity.
What could be done to improve the situation?
Managers should be taught that performance appraisal can be a very effective and productive method for the firm. When workers are praised for their work (when they deserve it), they are likely to be happier in the workplace, and it has been shown by countless studies that happier workers are also more productive.

2. Reduce average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin.
3. Increase sales $500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage.
Compute the return on investment for 2019.
Answer:
The Atlantic Division of Stark Productions Company
Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100
1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:
Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)
Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 21.2%
2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:
Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000
Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100
= 22.22%
3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:
Sales $4,500,000
Variable costs 3,600,000
Contribution $900,000

Ben and Jerry were shareholders of water ice, inc., an s corporation. On january 1, year 1, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares. Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 2011. The corporation reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 2011. How much of the loss is allocated to Joe?
A. $12,500.
B. $10,000.
C. $20,000.
D. $15,068.
Answer:
Option D. $15,068
Explanation:
The share of Ben will 40% of the loss if he does not sells the shares which is:
Ben's Share of Loss = $50,000 * 40% = $20,000
But Ben sold his 40% to Joe on March 31, 2011. This means 90/365 days of the year, Ben owned the shares. Hence:
Ben's share of loss = $20,000 * 90/ 365 = $4,931.5
The remainder is Joe's share of loss which is:
Joe's Share of Loss = $20,000 - $4,931.5 = $15,068
Hence the option D is correct.

Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000
You take out a car loan for 13,381 dollars. If your loan has an annual interest rate of 8.86 percent, and you will make monthly payments for 5 years, how much of your first payment will go towards principal (go towards paying down the outstanding loan balance)?
Answer:
Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
We will use the following relationships:
Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance
Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid
Monthly installment = Loan amount/Annuity factor
Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r - annual interest rate
n- number of period = 12× 5 = 60
Monthly interest rate - 8.86/12 =0.738 %
Loan amount = 13,381
Annuity factor = (1 - (1.00738)^(-60) )/ 0.00738=48.336
Monthly interest payment = Loan amount/Annuity factor
13,381/48.336=2,755.32
Interest due in the first month = interest rate × loan amount
= 0.738 %× 13,381 =98.796
Principal aid in the first year = Monthly installment - interest due 1st month
= 2,755.32 - 98.796 = 2,656.52
Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52
