Answer:
Under current tax law, no option is correct. Before 2018, option C would have been right.
Explanation:
Currently under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025) you can only deduct interests on mortgages used to purchase, build or improve your home. In this case, Jorge will only be able to deduct the interests paid on the $130,000 he owed for the first mortgage.
Interests on home equity loans will again be deductible (up to $100,000) starting Jan. 2026.
Assume Division 1 of the XYZ Company had the following results last year. Sales $5,000,000 Operating income 1,000,000 Total assets (average) 10,000,000 Current liabilities 500,000 Management's required rate of return is 8% and the weighted average cost of capital is 6%. Its effective tax rate is 30%. What is the division's economic value added?
Answer:
Economic Value was $130,000
Explanation:
As we know that:
Economic Value Added = Net Operating Income after tax - (WACC * Capital Employed)
Here
Operating Income After Tax is $700,000 (Step1)
WACC is 6%
Capital Employed is $9,500,000 (Step2)
By putting values, we have:
EVA = $700,000 - 9,500,000 * 6%
EVA = $700,000 - $570,000
EVA = $130,000
Step1: Operating Income After Tax
Simply deduct the 30% tax share from the operating income to arise at Net Operating Income After Tax.
Mathematically,
Net Operating Income After Taxes = Operating Income *(1 - Tax Rate)
Here
Operating Income is $1,000,000
Tax Rate is 30%
By putting values, we have:
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $1,000,000 * (1 - 30%)
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $700,000
Step2: Capital Employed
Capital Employed = Total Assets - Current Liabilities
Capital Employed = $10,000,000 - $500,000
Capital Employed = $9,500,000
You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?
Answer:
Cost performance index is 81.25%
Explanation:
Actual cost = $80,000
Planned value = $70,000
Earned value = $65,000
Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.
CPI = EV / AC
= $65,000 / $80,000
= 0.8125
= 0.8125 x 100
= 81.25%
According to research, effective leaders at all levels of organizations have high levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI). CEOs with high EI excel in all of the following exceptA) managing relationships.B) influencing people.C) forging alliances inside and outside the firm.D) ability to discourage outside stakeholders.
Answer:
D) ability to discourage outside stakeholders.
Explanation:
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is important for effective leaders at all levels or organizations including CEO, as it helps in several organizational functions such as managing employee relations, satisfying employees, influencing people and forging alliances inside and outside the firm.
But a CEO with high level of EI will never discourage outside stakeholders, rather they will encourage their employees to perform better.
Hence, the correct answer is "D".

Bronco Corporation discovered these errors in August of Year 3:
Year Depreciation Overstated Prepaid Expense Omitted
1 $2500 $3000
2 4000 2000
Assume all current items are two months in duration. Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Assume all errors are discovered in August of Year #3. The Year #2 books are closed. The net effect on Year #3 Beginning Retained Earnings caused by the August Year #3 correcting journal entries was:
a. $5,500
b. $6,500
c. $6,000
d. $8,500
e. $4,500
Answer:
e. $4,500
Explanation:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $3,000
2 $4,000 $2,000
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 = $23,000
This means that year 2's net income was understated by $5,000.
But year 1's net income was overstated by = $2,500 - $3,000 = -$500.
The adjustment on the retained earnings account should be $5,000 - $500 = $4,500

Wood Co.'s dividends on noncumulative preferred stock have been declared but not paid. Wood has not declared or paid dividends on its cumulative preferred stock in the current or the prior year, and has reported a net loss in the current year. For the purpose of computing basic earnings per share, how should the income available to common stockholders be calculated
Answer:
Once the preferred dividends have been declared, they must be included in the calculation for the earnings per share (EPS) formula: EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / average shares outstanding.
When the dividends are declared the following journal entry must be made:
Dr Retained earnings X
Cr Preferred dividends payable X
Net income is reported using the retained earnings account, and once the retained earnings account decreases, the preferred dividends become a liability.

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?
Answer:
I will borrow yen at 6% a year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000
Spot rate = $1 = ¥107
Forward rate = $1 to ¥120
Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months
Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)
Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)
Gain from forward contract = $404.99
Interest cost for borrowing = 112.15
Overall debt hedging gain = $292.84
By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84. This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen. Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

Answer:
Calgary Industries
Budgeted Net Income for 2018:
Sales Revenue $695,000
Cost of goods sold $278,000
Gross profit $417,000
Selling expenses $77,500
General and Administrative expenses $67,000
Depreciation $19,500
Budgeted Pre-tax Income $253,000
Income tax rate (30%) 75,900
Budgeted Net Income $177,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimates:
Sales = $695,000
Cost of goods sold = 40% of sales = $695,000 * 40% = $278,000
Selling expenses = $77,500
General and Administrative expenses = $86,500 - $19,500 = $67,000
Depreciation = $19,500
Income tax rate = 30%
b) Calgary Industries' budgeted net income of $177,100 is the result of deducting the operating expenses and income tax from the gross profit. The gross profit of $417,000 is obtained by deducting the cost of goods sold from the Sales Revenue. These profit points explain the economic returns created by the Calgary Industries. They reflect its financial performance during the budgeted period.

Patterson Co.’s Depreciation Expense is $20,200 and the beginning and ending accumulated depreciation balances are $150,100 and $155,100, respectively. What is the cash paid for depreciation?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are informed that Patterson Co.’s Depreciation Expense is $20,200 and the beginning and ending accumulated depreciation balances are $150,100 and $155,100, respectively.
The cash paid for depreciation will be $0. It should be noted that depreciation has to do with the ear and tear of an asset because its usage therefore no cash will be paid for depreciation.
Labor productivity growth can be attributed to: a. improvement in technology. b. a decline in university attendance. c. an increase in population growth. d. a decline in the physical capital per worker.
Answer:
The answer is A. improvement in technology
Explanation:
Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.
Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.
Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.
The owner of a large machine shop has just finished its financial analysis from the prior fiscal year. Following an excerpt from the final report:
Net revenue $375000
Cost of goods sold 322000
Value of production materials on hand 42500
Value of work-in-progress inventory 37000
Value of finished goods on hand 12500
a. Compute the inventory turnover ratio (ITR). (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Inventory turnover ratio ......... per year
b. Compute the weeks of supply (WS). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round to 1 decimal place.)
Weeks of supply ........
Answer:
a. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Aggregate Inventory Value
Inventory turnover ratio = $322,000 / $42,500 + $37,000 + $12,500
Inventory turnover ratio = $322,000 / $92,000
Inventory turnover ratio = 3.5
Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio is 3.5
b. Weeks of supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value / Cost of Goods Sold * 52 (weeks)
Weeks of supply = $42,500 + $37,000 + $12,500 / $322,000 * 52
Weeks of supply = $92,000 / $322,000 * 52 weeks
Weeks of supply = 14.85 weeks
Therefore, the weeks of supply is 14.85 weeks

HighLife Corporation has the following information: Average demand = 30 units per day Average lead time = 40 days Item unit cost = $45 for orders of less than 400 units Item unit cost = $40 for orders of 400 units or more Ordering cost = $50 Inventory carrying cost = 15 percent The business year is 300 days. Standard deviation of demand during lead time = 90 Desired service level = 95 percent What is the EOQ if HighLife pays $45/unit? Due to possible differences in rounding, choose the closest answer.\
Answer:
365.15 units
Explanation:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand is
= 30 units × 300 days
= 90,000 units
ordering cost is $50
Carrying cost is
= $45 × 15%
= $6.75
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the economic order quantity is
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{90,000}\times \text{\$50}}{\text{\$6.75}}}[/tex]
= 365.15 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the EOQ could come
It is not possible to create a per unit MCS if you are given total revenue and selling price. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A per unit MCS cannot be created if you are given total revenue and selling price because per unit MCS is created by dividing the given total revenue by the total units of products ( for revenue per unit of product )
And also dividing the total cost by the total units of products ( for cost per unit of product ) hence the absence of the number of products will make it impossible to create a per unit MCS.
The whole cost of sales of welfare's and commodities is called total revenue while the trading price is the price the purchaser spends on acquiring the goods and commodities.
Yes, the given statement is true.
To generate per unit MCS total income and sale price cannot serve as determinants.MCS is estimated by dividing the total income by the generation of total assemblies.Also, MCS is determined by dividing total cost by the total assemblies of products so that the cost per unit can be determined.Therefore without the quantity of production MCS cannot be determined.

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's total-debt-to-total-capital ratio was 15.0%. The firm finances using only debt and common equity and its total assets equal total invested capital. Based on the DuPont equation, what was the ROE
Answer:
8.94%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE
Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000
= $37,500
Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation
Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity
Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $250,000 - $37,500
= $212,500
Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;
(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)
= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500
= 8.94%
The following data has been collected about Keller Company's stockholders' equity accounts: Common stock $10 par value 21,000 shares authorized and 10,500 shares issued, 1,100 shares outstanding $105,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 51,000 Retained earnings 26,000 Treasury stock 12,760 Assuming the treasury shares were all purchased at the same price, the number of shares of treasury stock is:
Answer:
9,400 shares
Explanation:
Treasury stock is the difference between issued shares and outstanding shares.
Number of treasure shares = Number of issued shares - Number of outstanding shares
Number of treasure shares = 10,500 - 1,100
Number of treasure shares = 9,400 shares
Therefore, number of treasury shares is 9,400
What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%
Answer:
The expected return on stock is 30%
Explanation:
Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)
Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)
Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60
Growth rate = 0.15
Growth rate = 15%
Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate
Expected return = 15% + 15%
Expected return = 30%
Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

The depreciation method that allocates an equal portion of the total depreciable cost for a plant asset to each unit produced is called:
Answer:
Accelerated depreciation
Explanation:
The term that is being described in the question is known as an Accelerated depreciation. In other words, this is a depreciation method where an asset loses its book value at a much more rapid pace than more traditional methods. This method is mostly used in accounting or for income tax purposes because it allows for a greater deduction in the first couple of years of the asset's life cycle.
Answer:
The units-of-production depreciation method
Explanation:
The units-of-production depreciation method assigns an equal amount of expense to each unit produced or service rendered by the asset.
Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.
Answer:
Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:
1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.
2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.
3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.
4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.
5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.
6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.
Explanation:
For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company. Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future. That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.
The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

Anderson International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows:
Year Cash Flow
0 160,000
1 335,000
2 400,000
3 295,000
4 250,000
All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to Improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are "blocked" and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 4 percent.
If Anderson uses a required return of 7 percent on this project, what are the NPV and IRR of the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Enter your IRR as a percent.)
NPV
IRR %
Answer:
since the positive cash flows are blocked for one year, you have to adjust your cash flows:
year cash flow
0 -$160,000
1 $0
2 $348,400
3 $416,000
4 $306,800
5 $260,000
discount rate = 7%
using a financial calculator:
NPV = -$160,000 + $1,063,318.63 = $903,318.63
IRR = 102.94%
