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

Answer:

the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction

Explanation:

In such a scenario, the statement that would be completely true is that the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction. Since the broker is acting on behalf of the customer, then the customer needs to be notified beforehand in order for him/her to be able to analyze and decide whether or not they still want to go ahead with the transaction.

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

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.

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

Answer:

The value of the stock today is $20

Explanation:

Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.

The equation for CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

r = 0.05 + 0.04

r = 0.09 or 9%

The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,

P0 = Dividend / r

P0 = 1.8 / 0.09

P0 = $20

Answer:

At 31 December, the Interest for 54 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $17,740 (debit)

Note Payable $17,740 (credit)

On payment February 5, the Interest expense will be capitalized in the Note Payable as follows :

Note Payable $407,473 (debit)

Cash $407,473 (credit)

Explanation:

AT, November 7, When Mura Company borrows the money :

Cash $370,000 (debit)

Note Payable $370,000  (credit)

At 31 December, the Interest for 54 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $17,740 (debit)

Note Payable $17,740 (credit)

Interest expense calculation = $370,000 × 8% × 54/90

                                                = $17,740

At February 5, the interest for 60 days accrues as follows :

Interest expense $19,733 (debit)

Note Payable $19,733 (credit)

Interest expense calculation = $370,000 × 8% × 60/90

                                                = $19,733

On payment February 5, the Interest expense will be capitalized in the Note Payable as follows :

Note Payable $407,473 (debit)

Cash $407,473 (credit)

Note Payable Calculation = $370,000 + $19,733 + $17,740

                                              $407,473

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

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

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

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%

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:

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

Answer: Consumer Spending

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union.

1. Greater Bargaining Power

As an individual employee, it can be difficult to negotiate for wage increase or better working condition generally. However, being a member Union, together the group can negotiate and demand for what they feel is right for their members. In a rare occasion, the threat of a strike by a Union is a great tool to bargain well with the employer.

2. Minimize Discrimination

As a Union, it is easier to demand for equality in terms of wage, working condition, promotion, leave etc. Unlike individual employee, who may be facing discrimination from his or her supervisor as to employee related issue. Union can ensure the management used the right policies that seek for equality among all its employees without favoritism or discrimination.

3. Sense of Security

An employee may join the Union on the basis that, Union can save them against abrupt dismissal or other types of work insecurities including accident, injury, illness etc.

Also, Union can help secure retirement benefits and ensure the management improve on the employees' welfare generally.

Five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization

1. Irrelevance appearance of the Union:

Many workers believe that Union is not necessary because in the time of economic boom, getting wage increase and other working benefits can be gotten be individual employee and not necessarily through a Union, and at the same time, during economic downturn, unions often times don't have the capacity to protect their members from layoffs, wage and benefit reductions and tougher working conditions.

2. Poor Image of the Union:

Many employers and employees tend to view union with negativity, in the sense that, often times, their demands can be unreasonable, and are characterized by issue of labor racketeering, mob influence and embezzlement.

3. Unions are Seen as Political:

For some employees, they believe that Union tend to use their money or Union dues to support a political candidate. This in turn has made some employees who are neutral, not wanting to join the Union.

4. Reliance on goverment:

Many employees now believe that, government, not Union gives better form of security and voice to air their opinions. These includes pensions, healthcare, protection.

5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:

Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.

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.

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

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.

Answer:

Shoe-leather Costs.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the shoe-leather costs of inflation.

Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy. Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.

A Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs associated with time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting the bank in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.

Figuratively speaking, in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.

Hence, Kyoko is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to protect the store's revenues from the effects of inflation.

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.

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

Answer:

The cost of the land should be recorded as $108,350

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
