Answer:
Cash Dividends - Year 2 = $84400
Explanation:
The net income of the business is usually appropriated or used for two purposes at the end of the year. It is either used to pay dividends or is retained in the business and is added to the retained earnings or both.
Thus, to calculate the dividends paid by the business in a particular year, we can calculate the change in retained earnings and deduct it from the net income.
Change in retained earnings = Ending balance of retained earnings - Beginning balance of retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = 694000 - 587400
Change in retained earnings = $106600
Thus, out of the net income of $191000, $106600 were transferred to retained earnings. So, the amount of dividends paid for the year is,
Cash Dividends - Year 2 = 191000 - 106600 = $84400
Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?
Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.
a project that will last for 8 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $97,900. If the required return is 7.6 percent, what maximum initial cash flows of $97,900
Question:

Multiple Choice $516,751.56 $571,237.51 $1,026,395.85 $482,301.46 $550,008.71
Answer:
PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5
Explanation:
The maximum initial investment amount to be paid is the present value of the series of the annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 7.6% per annum.
In other words,the maximum to be paid for the investment should be equal to the value today of the series of eight equal annual cash flow of $97,900 discounted at 7.6%
This is given in the relationship below:
PV of cash inflow = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )
A- equal annual cash - 97,900. r-rate of return - 7.6%, n-number of years- 8
PV = 97,900 × ( 1 - (1+0.076)^(-8)/0.76)= 571,237.5
PV of cash inflow = $571,237.5
Red Sun Rising just paid a dividend of $2.43 per share. The company said that it will increase the dividend by 15 percent and 10 percent over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 4.1 percent. If the required return is 11.5 percent, what is the stock price today
Answer:
P0 = $39.76
Explanation:
The dividend discount model or DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (1+r)^2 +
[ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) * (1+g3) / (r - g3)) / (1+r)^2 ]
Where,
g1 is the growth rate in the first year which is 15% g2 is the growth rate in the second year which is 10% g3 is the constant growth rate which is 4.1% r is the required rate of return P0 is the stock price today
P0 = 2.43 * (1+0.15) / (1+0.115) + 2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.115)^2 +
[ (2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.041) / (0.115 - 0.041)) / (1+0.115)^2 ]
P0 = $39.76

Suppose that the residents of Vegi-Topia spend all of their income on cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. In 2013, they buy 50 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 60 bunches of broccoli for $1.5 each, and 200 carrots for $0.10. In 2014, they buy 75 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 70 bunches of broccoli for $1.50 each, and 500 carrots for $0.20 each. In 2015, they buy 80 heads of cauliflower for $3, 90 bunches of broccoli for $2, and 500 carrots for $0.25 each. If the base year is 2015, what is the inflation for 2014
Answer:
Inflation for 2014 is 11%
Explanation:
Inflation refers to a quantitative measure of the rate of an increase in the average price level of a selected basket of commodities in an economy over a specified period of time.
The inflation rate for 2014 can be calculated as follows:
Since 2015 is the base year, the it implies that the basket we are going to use contains 80 heads of cauliflower, 90 bunches of broccoli, and 500 carrots.
Therefore, cost of basket for each year can be determined as follows:
2013 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.10 * 500) = $285
2014 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.20 * 500) = $335
2015 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2015 * Quantity in 2015) = ($3 * 80) + ($2 * 50) + ($0.25 * 500) = $465
The CPI for each year can be determined using the following for formula:
CPI of a year = Current period cost of basket / Base year cost of basket …………… (1)
As 2015 is the base year, using equation (1), we have:
2013 CPI = (2013 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $285 / $465 = 0.61 * 100 = 61
2014 CPI = (2014 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $335 / $465 = 0.72 * 100 = 72
2015 CPI = (2015 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $465 / $465 = 1 * 100 = 100
The inflation for a year can be determined as follows:
Inflation = (CPI in the current year - CPI in previous year) / CPI in the base year ..................... (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
Inflation for 2014 = (CPI in 2014 - CPI in 2013) / CPI in 2015 = (72 - 61) / 100 = 11 / 100 = 0.11, or 11%

Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?
Answer:
The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%
Explanation:
Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence
$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20
(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
Taking 10th root at each side,
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]
1+r = 1.1597
r = 1.1597 - 1
r = 0.1597
r= 15.97%
Badger Corporation declared a stock distribution to all shareholders of record on March 25 of this year. Shareholders will receive one share of Badger stock for each 10 shares of stock they already own. Madison Cheesehead owns 1,000 shares of Badger stock with a tax basis of $100 per share. The fair market value of the Badger stock was $110 per share on March 25 of this year.Required:a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009? b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable? c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
Answer:
a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?
Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.
b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?
Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock
c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.

Determine fixed cost, F; average variable cost, AVC; average cost, AC; marginal cost, MC; and average fixed-cost, AFC. The fixed cost function (F) is
Answer:
Fixed Cost Function = Average Cost - Average Variable cost
Explanation:
A fixed cost is the one which does not changes with the level of production. These cost are irrelevant to number of units production. It is not affected by the units produced and sold. The change in fixed cost does not affect the marginal cost. The marginal cost is the variable cost that is incurred by producing one more unit. These costs are affected by the level of production.
The risk-free rate of return is 3.2 percent and the market risk premium is 4.6 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 2.12
Answer:
12.95%
Explanation:
The risk free rate of return is 3.2%
The market risk premium is 4.6%
The beta is 2.12
Therefore, the expected rate of return on a stock can be calculated as follows
= 3.2% + (2.12×4.6%)
= 3.2% + 9.752
= 12.95%
Hence the expected rate of return on a stock is 12.95%
Jordan issued 10-year, 11% bonds with a par value of $110,000. Interest is paid semiannually. The market rate on the issue date was 10%. Jordan received $116,855 in cash proceeds. Which of the following statements is True? Multiple Choice Suring must pay $116,855 at maturity and no interest payments.
Answer:
$110,000 on maturity
Interest of $6,050 semiannually
Explanation:
Jordan will pay $110,000 at maturity date with 20 payments of $6050 as interest
11% bonds at par value = $110,000
Interest paid = Semiannually
Market rate = 10%
At maturity, the par value will be paid as the par value of Jordan issued bonds is 110,000, therefore, Jordan will pay 110,000 on the maturity date.
As the bonds are issued for 10 years with semiannual payments that will be like 20 payments of $6,050 (110,000 x 10% x 6/12)
Indicate the proper accounting treatment for a change in the rate used to compute warranty costs.

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 55,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Answer:
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units production= 55,000 units
Production costs:
Direct materials $5
Direct labor $9
Avoidable Overhead= 3
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
We need to determine the total cost of making in-house and buying.
We will take into account only the variable cost (avoidable cost).
Make in-house:
Total cost= 55,000*(5 + 9 + 3)= $935,000
Buy:
Total cost= 55,000*20= $1,100,000
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
11. Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: A. profit will go up 10% B. profit will go up more than 10% C. profit will go down by less than 10% D. profit will not change
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Profit = Revenue - cost
Cost = fixed cost + variable cost
if variable cost increases by 10%, cost would increase by 10%.
Revenue also increases by 10%
So, the increase in revenue would be cancelled by the increase in cost and profit would not change
A catering company prepared and served 375 meals at an anniversary celebration last week using 3 workers. The week before, 2 workers prepared and served 225 meals at a wedding reception
a1. Calculate the labor productivity for each event. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Anniversary Wedding meals/worker meals/worker
a2. For which event was the labor productivity higher?
Anniversary
Wedding
Answer:
for anniversary = 125
for wedding = 112.5
anniversary
Explanation:
Labour productivity = number of meals / total number of workers
for anniversary = 375 / 3 = 125
for wedding = 225 / 2 = 112.5
labour productivity is higher for the anniversary because one unit of labour produces more meals when compared to the wedding.
Suppose the following financial data were reported by 3M Company for 2019 and 2020 (dollars in millions). 3M Company Balance Sheets (partial) 2020 2019 Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,008 $1,899 Accounts receivable, net 3,110 3,065 Inventories 2,675 3,017 Other current assets 1,890 1,542 Total current assets $10,683 $9,523 Current liabilities $ 4,974 $5,821 (a) Calculate the current ratio and working capital for 3M for 2019 and 2020.
Answer:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liability
Current ratio 2019 = 9,523 / 5,821
Current ratio 2019 = 1.64 : 1
Current ratio 2020 = 10,683 / 4,974
Current ratio 2020 = 2.15 : 1
Working Capital = Current asset - Current liability
Working capital 2019 = $9,523 - $5,821
Working capital 2019 = $3,702
Working capital 2020 = $10,683 - $4,974
Working capital 2020 = $5,709

Lawrence Industries' most recent annual dividend was $2.28 per share (D0=$2.28), and the firm's required return is 13%. Find the market value of Lawrence's shares when dividends are expected to grow at 8% annually for 3 years, followed by a 7% constant annual growth rate in years 4 to infinity.
Answer:
Value of stock = $41.75
Explanation:
The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
value of dividend from year 1 to 3
Year Present Value
1 2.28× 1.08^1 × 1.13^(1-) = 2.179
2 2.28× 1.08^2 × 1.13^(-2) = 2.083
3. 2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.13^(-3)= 1.991
Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
Step 1 :PV in year 3 terms
= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.1-0.06)
2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.07/(0.13-0.07)= 51.220
step 2 : PV in year 0 terms =
PV in year 3 × 1.1^(-3)
=51.220 × 1.13^(-3)= 35.498
Value of stock = 2.179 +2.083 +1.991 + 35.498 = 41.75
Value of stock = $41.75

A share of stock is now selling for $120. It will pay a dividend of $10 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 18%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.
The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)
r = 0.18 or 18%
Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends
Plugging in the available variables, g is,
120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)
120* (0.18 - g) = 10
21.6 - 120g = 10
g = (10 - 21.6) / -120
g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%
So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.
P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
