Answer:
$4,000 gain
Explanation:
The calculation of gain or loss on the sale of the equipment is shown below:-
Gain or loss on the sale of the equipment = Sales - Cost of the baking equipment - Accumulated Depreciation
= $25,000 - ($72,000 - $51,000)
= $25,000 - $21,000
= $4,000
Therefore for computing the gain or sale we simply applied the above formula.
Eleanor spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2014, she earned $14.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $7.00, and the price of a donut was $1.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is 2 magazines per hour in 2014.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2014 and 2019. In 2019, Eleanor's wage has risen to $28.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is ________.
Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage ______, and the real value of her wage _________.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply nominal variables and _______ real variables.
Answer;
1. A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
When a variable is stated in nominal terms, it is usually given as a fixed monetary value because it is not adjusted for inflation. It therefore mentions just the price as is.
2. A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
When goods are described in real terms, they are related to another good in order to adjust them for inflation.
3. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is 7 donuts.
The relative price = Price of Magazine/ Price of donuts
= 14/2
= 7 donuts.
4. Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage increases, and the real value of her wage remains the same.
As a result of the increase in money supply, Eleanor's wages increased nominally from $14 to $28.
However, in real terms her wages did not increase at all because the price level in the economy increased by the same rate that her wages increased meaning that she is still only able to buy the same quantity of things.
5. Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affects nominal variables and does not affect real variables.
From Eleanor's example above, the concept of Money Neutrality is shown in that while a change in money supply will affect nominal variables, it will not affect real variables due to a general rise in prices.
Which one of the following are tools that company managers can use to promote operating excellence in performing value chain activities?
a. Benchmarking, cost effciency optimization, and value chain performance optimazation programs
b. Six signma programs, value chain performance optimazation programs, and best practice innovation programs
c. Total quality management, cost optimization, and value chain efficient programs
d. Business process reengineering, best practice standardization programs, and six sigma
e. adoption of best practices, TQM, and business process reengineering
Answer:
e. adoption of best practices, TQM, and business process reengineering
Explanation:
To promote operational excellence in the execution of value chain activities, the most appropriate tools to be implemented in an organization are the adoption of best practices, TQM and business process reengineering.
Total quality management refers to the continuous improvement of all operational processes, in order to reduce costs, failures, and waste, leading to the implementation, control and review of all organizational processes, including the adoption of advanced technology, adequate training for employees, etc.
Business process reengineering would also help the organization reevaluate its value chain and implement improvements that would increase the performance and functionality of each essential step in the value chain.
Therefore, these integrated tools would ensure continuous optimization at all stages of the value chain, which would mean for the company the effectiveness of the channels and activities for the company to produce the right product, in the right quantity, in the right place and at the right time.

An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000,and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciationamount in the thirdyear and the BV at the end of the fifth year of life by each of these methods:
Answer:
straight line depreciation:
depreciation expense per year, the same for every year = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57
book value end of year 1 = $56,571.43
book value end of year 2 = $53,142.86
book value end of year 3 = $49,714.29
book value end of year 4 = $46,285.72
book value end of year 5 = $42,857.15
double declining balance:
deprecation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/14 x $60,000 = $8,571.43
book value end of year 1 = $51,428.57
deprecation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/14 x $51,428.57 = $7,346.94
book value end of year 2 = $44,081.63
deprecation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/14 x $44,081.63 = $6,297.38
book value end of year 3 = $37,784.25
deprecation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/14 x $37,784.25 = $5,397.75
book value end of year 4 = $32,386.50
deprecation expense year 5 = 2 x 1/14 x $32,386.50 = $4,626.64
book value end of year 5 = $27,759.86
sum of digits:
depreciable value = $60,000 - $12,000 = $48,000
total sum of digits = 120 years
deprecation expense year 1 = $48,000 x 15/120 = $6,000
book value end of year 1 = $54,000
deprecation expense year 2 = $48,000 x 14/120 = $5,600
book value end of year 2 = $48,400
deprecation expense year 3 = $48,000 x 13/120 = $5,200
book value end of year 3 = $43,200
deprecation expense year 4 = $48,000 x 12/120 = $4,800
book value end of year 4 = $38,400
deprecation expense year 5 = $48,000 x 11/120 = $4,400
book value end of year 5 = $34,000

Rossdale Co. stock currently sells for $72.87 per share and has a beta of 1.22. The market risk premium is 7.10 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.90 percent annually. The company just paid a dividend of $4.29 per share, which it has pledged to increase at an annual rate of 3.45 percent indefinitely. What is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
Cost of Equity =11.56%
Explanation:
The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:
The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.
According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
Price = D/Kp
D- Dividend payable
Kp- cost of preferred stock
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c
This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM
Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22
E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562 %
Cost of Equity =11.56%
In 2019, Dan transferred 5-year property to Fleck Corp. in a tax-deferred Section 351 transaction. Fleck took Dan's adjusted basis in the property. Dan originally placed the depreciable property in service in 2017. What year of the depreciation schedule will Fleck use to depreciate the property
Answer:
The property will be depreciated using the remaining 3 years of its life after the tax-free incorporation transfer year. This is because Dan had already depreciated the property for 2 years before the transfer.
Explanation:
Sec. 351 allows a tax-free incorporation transfer if certain requirements are met, including that the property must be transferred to Fleck Corporation by Dan in exchange for stock in Fleck Corporation, and, immediately after the exchange, the Fleck Corporation is in control.
Assume that investors have recently become more risk averse, so the market risk premium has increased. Also, assume that the risk-free rate and expected inflation have not changed. Which of the following is most likely to occur?a. The required rate of return will decline for stocks whose betas are less than 1.0 b. The required rate of return on the market, rm, will not change as a result of these changes c. The required rate of return for each individual stock in the market will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk d. The required rate of return on a riskless bond will decline. e. The required rate of return for an average stock will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk premium.
Answer: e. The required rate of return for an average stock will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk premium.
Explanation:
The market risk premium is the interest rate over the risk-free rate that investors will be compensated with for taking on the risk. Returns consist of both the risk-free rate and a premium charged for risk.
If investors become more risk averse, they will have to be compensated for what they view as riskier investments by increasing the premium being given to them.
Should this happen, the return that they will require will therefore increase by the same amount that the premium has increased.
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted...
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 2,300 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were:
Cost Percent Complete
Materials costs $7,400 50%
Conversion costs $3,600 20%
A total of 8,700 units were started and 8,000 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month:
Cost
Materials costs $160,600
Conversion costs $122,300
The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. How many units are in ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month?
a. 700.
b. 1,700.
c. 6.400.
d. 2,700.
Answer:
3,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for How many units are in ending work in process inventory
Using this formula
Ending work in process units =Beginning work in process units + Units started into production - Transferred to the second processing department units
Let plug in the formula
Ending work in process units= 2,300 units + 8,700 units - 8,000 units
Ending work in process units= 3,000 units
Therefore 3,000 units are in the ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month.
A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?
Answer: $1.46
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares
Value of shares at current = 9,000/600
= $15 a share
Excess cash is $1,200.
Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;
= 1,200/15
= 80 shares
New number of shares = 600 - 80
= 520 shares
New EPS
= 760/520
= $1.46
A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:
Answer:
-$400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)
= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)
= $14,000 - $14,400
= -$400 unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.

2 $28,000 -$21,000
3 $28,000 $7,000
4 0 $7,000
Payback period = 2 + $21,000 ÷ $28,000
= 2 + 0.75
= 2.75 years
For Project Y
Year Net cash outflow Net cash inflow Balance
0 -$55,000 -$55,000
1 $2,000 -$53,000
2 $25,000 -$28000
3 $25,000 -$3,000
4 $20,000 $17,000
Payback period = 3 +3,000 ÷ 20,000
= 3 + 0.15
= 3.15 years
Project X has a lesser than 3 year payback period. So, the correct option is D

Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5%, and a 20-year bond, also with an annual coupon of 5%. Both bonds currently sell at par value. Now suppose that interest rates rise and the yield to maturity of the two bonds increases to 8%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bond?
Answer:
$922.69
Explanation:
The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:
Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the new interest rate of 8%
n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3
coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50
price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%
price of 3-year bond=$922.69
richard has two investment opportunities. He can invest in the sunglasses company or the umbrella company. if he diversifies his investment by putting 50% of his money into each company, what is the expected return and standard deviation of his portfolio
Answer:
Some information was missing, so i looked it up:
State of Prob. of the state Sunglasses Umbrella
the economy of the economy Company Corporation
Sunny .50 25% 0%
Rainy .50 0% 25%
expected returns:
Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,
so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%
standard deviation:
Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%
Suppose you invest equal amounts in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 18% and a risk-free asset with an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio. Group of answer choices
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.
The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;
= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)
= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)
= 8% + 2%
= 10%

On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment
Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
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.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
