Hudson Corp. operates several factories that manufacture medical equipment. The factories have a historical cost of $200 million. Near the end of the company’s fiscal year, a change in business climate related to a competitor’s innovative products indicated to Hudson’s management that the $170 million carrying amount of the assets of one of Hudson’s factories may not be recoverable. Management identified cash flows from this factory and estimated that the undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the factory would be $150 million. The fair value of the factory’s assets is reliably estimated to be $135 million. The change in business climate requires investigation of possible impairment. Which of the following amounts is the impairment loss?
A) $15 million.
B) $20 million.
C) $35 million.
D) $65 million.
Answer:
C) $35 million.
Explanation:
The computation of the impairment loss is shown below:
= Carrying amount of the assets - fair value of the factory assets
= $170 million - $135 million
= $35 million
Since the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset so the impairment loss is recorded and hence the same is to be considered.
Hence, the correct option is c.
A corporation has shares of % preferred stock outstanding. Also, there are shares of common stock outstanding. Par value for each is $100. If dividend is paid, how much goes to the preferred stockholders?
Answer:
$600,000

John and Fred owned, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, business property that they purchased for $40,000. John furnished one fourth of the purchase price and Fred furnished three fourths of the purchase price. Depreciation deductions allowed before Fred's death were $8,000. Under local law, each had a one half interest in the income from the property. At the time of Fred's death, the fair market value of the property was $80,000, three fourths of which is includable in Fred's estate. What is John's basis in the property at the date of Fred's death
Answer:
$66,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Property pur has price = $40000
John's portion of purchase price = 1/4 = (1/4 * 40000) = $10,000
Fred's portion = 3/4 = 0.75 * 40,000 = $30,000
Depreciation allowed before Fred's death = $8000
Each beared half :
That is ; (0.5 * $8000) = $4000 each
Fair market value of property at the time of Fred's death = $80,000
Portion owned by Fred at the time = 3/4
0.75 * $80,000 = $60,000
At this time, John has taken up full ownership :
Basis = $6000 + $60,000 = $66,000
The cost to manufacture one unit of Rinker Audio Products' bestselling hearing aid, the Magnifier, is $87.50. The CFO of the company, Neha Patel, has determined that if the company expands the output of its biggest U.S. plant by 20 percent, the unit cost would be only $82.50. The concept that as plant output expands, unit costs decrease, is known as Group of answer choices
Answer:
Economies of scale.
Explanation:
In this scenario, the cost to manufacture one unit of Rinker Audio Products' bestselling hearing aid, the Magnifier, is $87.50. The chief financial officer (CFO) of the company, Neha Patel, has determined that if the company expands the output of its biggest U.S. plant by 20 percent, the unit cost would be only $82.50. The concept that as plant output expands, unit costs decrease, is known as economies of scale.
Economies of scale in microeconomics can be defined as cost reductions or cost advantages that arises when a business entity increases its level of production or are large in size.
This ultimately implies that, when a company chooses a convenient scale of operation or reduce its scale of production, this would lead to a reduction in the cost of production and consequently, some benefits such as lower long-run average cost, increased sales, profits and lower cost price for the consumers of these finished products.
Consider an industry that is made up of nine firms each with a market share (percent of sales) as follows: a. Firm A: 30% b. Firm B: 20% c. Firms C, D, and E: 10% each d. Firms F, G, H, and J: 5% each What is the value of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and how is the industry categorized?
Answer:
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is 1400 and the industry is categorized as a competitive industry
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is a market indicator that is used to measure how competitive the companies or firms in an industry is. It tells whether the industry is highly competitive or monopolistic.
It is obtained by adding the square of the market share of all the firms in an industry. That is,
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = s1 + s2 + s3 +....... sn
(where s = market share of individual firms in an industry.)
From the question,
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = (30)² + (20)² + 10)² +(10)² + (10)²+ (5)²
+ (5)²+ (5)² + (5)²
= 600 + 400 + 100 +100 + 100 + 25 + 25 +
+ 25 + 25
= 1400
An industry with an Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of less than 1500 units is categorized as a COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.
One with an index of between 1500 to 2500 is considered as moderately competitive.
While an industry with higher values of HHI tends towards a monopoly.

All the following statements concerning universal life insurance are correct EXCEPT: Group of answer choices Interest credited to the cash value is taxable to a policyowner in the year credited. The policyowner can add to a policy's cash value at any time subject to policy guidelines. Interest is credited to the policy's cash value each month. Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Answer:
Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Explanation:
Universal life insurance is a permanent life insurance plan that has flexible premium payments and premiums are also low.
Only a determined death benefit is paid to the policy holder's beneficiary.
As premium is paid to the account, it earns interest. The excess amount above the death benefit is called the cash value.
Policy holder is allowed to withdraw the cash value and the withdrawal is subject to taxation.
However these withdrawals do not affect the death benefit which is fixed. Policy holder cannot withdraw into the death benefit amount.
When the policy holder does the insurance company keeps the cash value (excess over dear benefit amount). While the beneficiary gets only the agreed death benefit.
So the statement - Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Is untrue.

Quanti Co., a calendar year taxpayer, purchased small tools for $5,000 on December 21, 2016, representing the company's only purchase of tangible personal property that took place during 2016. On its 2016 tax return, how many months of MACRS depreciation may Quanti Co. claim on the tools (assuming they do not qualify for immediate expensing/bonus depreciation)?
Answer:
1 and a half months worth of depreciation
Explanation:
The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS. Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.

A. an increase in government spending caused by increased spending on highways and bridge construction B. a decrease net export spending caused by an appreciation of the home currency C. an increase in exports caused by an increase in economic activity in the European Union D. an increase in consumer spending caused by a cut in the personal income tax rate
Answer:
B. a decrease net export spending caused by an appreciation of the home currency
Explanation:
When the aggregate demand curve shifts to the left, it means that total consumer spending decreases. This decrease might result from consumers having less money due to a rise in unemployment, high inflation, a decrease in economic activity or an increase in taxes. This type of shift is specially "dangerous" for the economy because consumer spending represents almost 70% of the GDP.
In this case, the appreciation of the US dollar resulted in a decrease in economic activity of exporting companies.

Janine is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $5,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65.
Janine estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).
How much will Janine's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$108,622.60
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount Janine's IRA will worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires
Based on the information given we were told that She has the amount of $5,000 in an IRA, which is a vital part of her retirement nest egg in which She has well believes that her IRA will increase at an annual rate of 8%.
Secondly we were told that she is 25 age and plan to retire at the age of 65 which means that the number of years until her retirement will be 40 years(65 years-25 years)
Now let calculate how much she will be worth using this formula
Amount worth= Present value in IRA*(Annual rate increase)^ Numbers of years until retirement
Let plug in the formula
Amount worth=5,000 *(1 + 0.08)^40 =
Amount worth=5,000*(1.08)^40
Amount worth =5,000*21.72452
Amount worth= $108,622.60
Therefore Janine's IRA will be worth $108,622.60 when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.

Assume that three identical units are purchased separately on the following three dates and at the respective costs:________. June 1 at $10 June 2 at $15 July 4 at $20 The company sells two units during the period. Conclude which inventory items are sold first and which unit remains in ending inventory if the company is using the LIFO perpetual cost flow assumption.
Answer:
Under last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method, the units purchased last are used to determine the cost of goods sold. This doesn't mean that exactly the last units purchased will be sold first, it is just used as an accounting tool.
In this case, the last unit purchased costed $20, and the immediately previous one costed $15. Under LIFO, these 2 units would have been sold (COGS = $35), and the ending inventory = $10 (the price of the "oldest" unit).
