Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Macklin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $13,500,000 with 500,000 total machine hours.
Year to date, the actual overhead is $14,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 530,000 hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 13,500,000/500,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 27*530,000= 14,310,000
Finally, the under/over allocated overhead:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 14,000,000 - 14,310,000
Under/over applied overhead= 310,000 overallocated

Margaret’s car loan statement said that she would pay $7,683.20 in interest for a 5-year loan at an interest rate of 9.8%. Assuming this is an example of simple interest, how much did Margaret borrow to buy the car?
Answer: $15680
Explanation:
Principal = Unknown
Time = 5 years
Rate = 9.8%
Simple interest = $7683.20
Simple interest= PRT/100
7683.20 = (P × 9.8 × 5)/100
7683.20 = 49P/100
Cross multiply
768320 = 49P
P = 768320/49
Principal = $15680
Margaret borrowed $15680 to buy the car.

Since it is mentioned that there is a short of 50,000 shares of ABC stock and the average daily trading volume is 40,000 shares that represent the trading of the stock is less i.e short
According to the SHO regulation, when the stock is sold has short than the dealer should track the shares i.e to be borrowed also find out the shares i.e to be delivered by the settlement by considering the documents
Now in this case, the shares i.e be borrowed find to be tougher also the tracking is not possible
Therefore the customer would not able to short the stock

Explanation:
The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent
Answer:
11.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) + (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)
= 3.07% + 8.69%
= 11.76%
Hence, the WACC is 11.76%
We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost
Suppose we have the following information for 2008: Potential output: $17 trillion Actual output: $16 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 500 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2008
Answer:
The structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$500 billion = G - (0.15)($16 trillion)
$500 billion = G - 2400 billion
G = $500 billion + 2400 billion
G = $2900 billion
Thus, Government spending is $2900 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(17000 billion)
T' = $2550 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $2900 billion - $2550 billion
Structural deficit = $350 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion

uppose a Starbucks tall latte cost $4.00 in the United States, 5.00 euros in the euro area and $2.50 Australian dollars in Australia. Nominal exchange rates are .80 euros per dollar and 1.4 Australian dollars per U.S. dollar. Where does purchasing power parity hold
Answer: Nether Australia or Europe
Explanation:
Purchasing power parity is a notion that states that prices of the same or similar goods should have the same price across the world after adjusting for exchange rate differences.
If the price of a tall latte in the U.S. is $4,00, it should be the same price in Europe and Australia after exchange rate adjustments.
$4.00 in Euro is: $4.00 in Australian dollars is:
= 4 * 0.8 = 4 * 1.4
= €3.20 = $5.60
Purchasing power parity does not hold in wither countries because the prices of the lattes are not equal to the $4.00 in the U.S. after adjustments for exchange rates.
Pattison Corporation is a service company that measures its output by the number of customers served. The company has provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes. Fixed Element per Month Variable Element per Customer Served Revenue $5,500 Employee salaries and wages $46,300 $1,000 Travel expenses $ 500 Other expenses $32,500 When the company prepared its planning budget at the beginning of May, it assumed that 20 customers would have been served. However, 17 customers were actually served during May. The activity variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Fixed Element Variable Element per
per Month Customer Served
Revenue $5,500
Employee salaries
and wages $46,300 $1,000
Travel expenses $ 500
Other expenses $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses = ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses. The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.

Using the constant-growth DDM, the value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year
Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%
= 3/100
= 0.03
The risk free rate of return is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
The beta is 0.5
The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return
= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)
= 0.05+0.5(0.08)
= 0.05+0.04
= 0.09
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows
Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)
Vo= 6/0.12
Vo= $50
Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50
For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-maturity debt securities. None of the above. Each case is independent of the other.
(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.
(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.
(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.
(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.
(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.
(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now.
Answer:
(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold. - Trading Debt Securities
Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.
(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock. - None of the Above
This is an Equity Investment.
(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year. - Trading Debt Securities
Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.
(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold. - Available-for-sale debt securities
Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.
(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time. - None of the above.
This is an Equity investment as well.
(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.
Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.
Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return A 1.16 .1137 B .92 .0984 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market
Answer: 10.35%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the expected return of a security with the expression
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
( Market return - risk free rate) is also known as the market premium and can be calculated by;
= [tex]\frac{Expected return on A - Expected return on B}{Beta for A - Beta for B}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.1137 - 0.0934}{1.16 - 0.92}[/tex]
= 0.0153/0.24
= 6.375%
= 6.38%
Expected return A = Risk free rate + Beta A ( Market return - risk free rate)
0.1137 = Risk free rate + 1.16 (6.38%)
Risk free rate = 0.1137 - 1.16(6.38%)
Risk free rate = 3.97%
Market Expected return = Market Risk Premium + risk free rate
= 6.38% + 3.97%
= 10.35%

Moe has entered into a contract with Larry. Subsequently, Moe assigns his rights in that contract to Curly. Which of the following would not prevent that assignment? Multiple Choice The assignment would violate public policy matters. The contract contains an anti-assignment clause. Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment. The assignment would materially alter Larry's duties and cause an increased burden or risk to Larry.
Answer:
Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment.
Explanation:
An assignment is defined as the transfer of the responsibility of performing a task or contract to another person.
In this instance Moe is trying to assign the contract he has with Larry to Curly.
Curly will now take responsibility for the execution of the contract.
Assignment is allowed if performance of the task is assured, and the other party has no grounds to object if performance will not be affected.
The situation where the assignment will not be prevented is when Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment.
However the assignment can be prevented if there is an anti-assignment clause, violate public policy, or materially alter Larry's duties and cause an increased burden or risk to Larry.

Answer:
Cost allocated to land=$605,520
Cost allocated to building=$1,482,480
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Schwartzkopf should report the land and the building at the end of the year
A. Calculation for Cost allocated to land
Using this formula
Cost allocated to land=Fair value of land/
Fair value of building and land×Cost
Let plug in the formula
Cost allocated to land=$826,355/($2,023,145+$826,355)×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=$826,355/$2,849,500×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=0.29×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=$605,520
Therefore the Cost allocated to land will be $605,520
B. Calculation for Cost allocated to building
Using this formula
Cost allocated to building=Fair value of land/
Fair value of building and land×Cost
Let plug in the formula
Cost allocated to building=$2,023,145/$2,023,145+$826,355)×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=$2,023,145/$2,849,500×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=0.71×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=$1,482,480
Therefore Cost allocated to building will be $1,482,480
On June 13, the board of directors of Siewert Inc. declared a 2-for-1 stock split on its 120 million, $1 par, common shares, to be distributed on July 1. The market price of Siewert common stock was $35 on June 13. Prepare a journal entry that summarizes the declaration and distribution of the stock split if it is not to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. What is the par per share after the split
Answer:
Siewert Inc.
Journal Entry:
Memo: This is note that the stock has been split 2-for-1 and the number of common shares increased to 240 (120 x 2) million.
No journal entry is required for a split of 2-for-1 shares. What is required is a memo that indicates that the shares have been split.
The par value is now $0.50 ($1/2)
Explanation:
When the directors of Siewert Inc. declare a stock split, it does not require any journal entry. Instead, a memo is required to describe the declaration and the new number of shares that are now authorized if this has increased, and outstanding. The 2-for-1 split means that stockholders who held 1 share before will now be entitled to 2 shares. This doubling of the number of shares will affect the par value of the shares, causing it to divide by 2. For example, Siewert Inc.'s par value of common shares was $1 before the declaration of the split. After the split, the par value will change to $0.50 or half. This split will also affect the market price of the shares as investors are likely to reduce the current market price to about half of its prevailing price.
rancis Inc.'s stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%, and it sells for $87.50 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% per year. What is the expected year-end dividend, D1
Answer:
$3.72
Explanation:
Francis incorporation stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%
The stock is sold at $87.50 per share
The growth rate is 6% per year
Therefore, the expected dividend can be calculated as follows
= Po(rs-g)
= $87.50(10.25%-6%)
= $87.50×4.25
= $3.72
Hence the expected year end dividend is $3.72
Say the marginal tax rate is 30 percent and that government expenditures do not change with output. Say also that the economy is at potential output and that the deficit is $200 billion.Required:a. What is the size of the cyclical deficit?b. What is the size of the structural deficit?c. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $200 billion below potential?d. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $100 billion above potential?
Answer:
a. The Cyclical deficit refers to the deficit arising from the difference between the potential output and the actual output.
The question assumes that the economy is producing at potential which means actual output equals potential output.
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 0
Cyclical Deficit = $0
b. Structural deficit occurs even when the economy is at potential because it refers to Government deficits that happen when the economy is experiencing normal activity.
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 0
Structural Deficit = $200 billion
c. Output is $200 billion below potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 200
Cyclical Deficit = $60 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 60
Structural Deficit = $140 billion
d. Output is $100 billion above potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * -100 as actual is above potential
Cyclical Deficit = -$30 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - (-30)
Structural Deficit = $230 billion

You are considering buying a perpetuity contract from your insurance company that will pay you $500 annually where the payment will grow by 3% each year. Using a discount rate of 9%, the most you should be willing to pay for this contract is closest to:
Answer:
Maximum Amount Payable = $8333.33
Explanation:
Perpetual Annuity Payment = $500
Growth Rate = 3%
Discount Rate = 9%
Maximum Amount Payable = Present Value of Perpetual Annuity
Present Value of Perpetual Annuity = Perpetual Annuity Payment / (Discount rate - Growth rate)
Maximum Amount Payable = $500 / (0.09 - 0.03)
Maximum Amount Payable = $500 / 0.06
Maximum Amount Payable = $8333.33
Owen expects to receive at the end of next year from a trust fund. If a bank loans money at an interest rate of , how much money can he borrow from the bank on the basis of this information?
Answer: a) $18,605
Explanation:
The amount he can borrow today will be an amount that when grown at a rate of 7.5% per year will equal $20,000 in a year.
20,000 = Amount + ( Amount * rate * time)
20,000 = Amount + (7.5% * Amount)
2,000,000 = 1.075 * Amount
Amount = $18,605
The capitalized cost of $10,000 every 5 years forever, starting now at an interest rate of 10% per year, is closest to
Answer:
$15,000Explanation:
Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.
Initial cost = Principal - $10,000
Interest = Principal * Rate * Time/100
Given Principal = $10,000
Rate (in %) = 10%
Time (in years) = 5 years
Interest = 10,000*10*5/100
Interest = $5000
Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.
Capitalized cost = $10,000+$5,000
Capitalized cost = $15,000
Hence the capitalized cost of $10,000 every 5 years forever, starting now at an interest rate of 10% per year, is closest to $15,000

Explanation:
Land cost = $112,000
Demolition dilapidated building = $2,200
Legal fees - title search = $1,450
Cost of land = Land cost - Demolition dilapidated building - Legal fees - title search
Cost of land = $112,000 - $2,200 - $1,450
Cost of land = $108,350
he carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.
Answer:
Goodwill Impairment (Debit)
Goodwill (Credit)
Explanation:
In case goodwill is impaired, then the entry to record this impairment will be Goodwill Impairment Debit and Goodwill Credit.
By crediting the Goodwill, the account will be reduced. This shows that the business is currently worth less than is accounted for. The Goodwill account is reduced to identify this difference.
The Impairment loss is an expense and must be reflected in the income statement. Therefore, while we reduce Goodwill amount from balance sheet. We record the expense on the income statement, which would mean that the current year profit amount will be reduced.

Concord Corporation had 2020 net income of $809,000. During 2020, Concord paid a dividend of $2 per share on 60,500 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Concord had outstanding 215,000 shares of common stock.
Required:
Compute Concord's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer:
$3.2 per share
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net income - (preferred stock shares × dividend paid] ÷ Outstanding shares of common stock
= [($809,000 - ( 60,500 × $2 per share)] ÷ 215,000
= [$809,000 - ( $121,000)] ÷ 215,000
= $809,000 - $121,000 ÷ 215,000
= $688,000 ÷ 215,000
= $3.2 per share
