The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of $12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be $1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndt’s federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndt’s expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndt’s depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndt’s depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why? Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 93).

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Berndt Corporation

Income Statement

Sales revenue                                         $12,000,000

All cost other than depreciation            ($9,000,000)

Depreciation expense                             ($1,500,000)

EBIT                                                            $1,500,000

Income taxes                                             ($600,000)

Net income                                                  $900,000

net cash flow = $900,000 + $1,500,000 = $2,400,000

b) if depreciation doubles, net profit will decrease to $0, but net cash flows will increase to $3,000,000

c) if depreciation decreases by 50%, net profit will increase to $1,350,000, but net cash flows will decrease to $2,100,000

d) Once a company is operating, its value is generally calculated based on its cash flows, therefore, I would select the option that increases the company's net cash flows (Congress doubles depreciation expense).

Bronco Corp. has decided to establish a subsidiary in Taiwan that will produce stereos and sell them locally in the country. It expects that its cost of producing these stereos will be one third the cost of producing them in the United States. Assuming that its production cost estimates are accurate, is Bronco‘s strategy sensible? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Based on the description provided it can be said that Bronco's strategy is not sensible. This is because Bronco Corp. has recognized an advantage of producing stereos in Taiwan as opposed to the U.S but this is only an advantage if they sell those same stereos that were produced in the Taiwan subsidiary to the U.S. markets. Otherwise they will be selling the stereos at a much lower price in the Taiwan market, which will ultimately not be an advantage.

Answers

Answer:

Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.

A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.

Larry's current investment in the company is $86,000.

= 2,000 stocks x $43 = $86,000

If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $82,560.

company's new market value = (20,000 x $43) + (5,000 x $34.40) = $1,032,000

new stock price = $1,032,000 / 25,000 stocks = $41.28

= $41.28 x 2,000 = $82,560

This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.

The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.

Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.

Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.

If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $103,200.

= [(5,000 / 10) x $34.40] + $86,000 = $17,200 + $86,000 = $103,200

Explanation:

A limited partnership's allowance for depletion is a special form of depreciation used to account for the gradual reduction in the value of natural resources based on their usage or consumption.  There are two methods for recognizing depletion of natural resources.  They are the cost depletion method, which is based on usage, and the percentage depletion method, which is a percentage of gross earnings.  Then, depletion is different from depreciation, in that depreciation is for tangible assets, while depletion is for natural assets.

why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

Answers

Answer: $18,848

Explanation:

The Net Present Value of a project is the difference between the present values of the cash outflows and inflows.

Present Values of the Cash flows;

Year 1

= 150,000 * 0.893

= $133,950

Year 2

= 130,000 * 0.797

= $103,610

Year 3

=104,000 * 0.712

= $74,048

Year 4

= 90,000 * 0.636

= $57,240

Net Present Value = Cash inflows - Outflow

= 133,950 +103,610 + 74,048 + 57,240 - 350,000

= $18,848

b) We also learned that cutting prices on an elastic demand curve will be a smart way of getting more revenues.

c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.

Answers

Answer:

D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.

Explanation:

Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.

The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.

(PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round PV factor value to 4 decimal places.) Expected annual sales of new product $ 2,190,000 Expected annual costs of new product Direct materials 494,000 Direct labor 686,000 Overhead (excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine) 476,000 Selling and administrative expenses 174,000 Income taxes 30 % Required: 1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine’s life. 2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine’s life. 3. Compute this machine’s payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. 4. Compute this machine’s accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year. 5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 4% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Hint: Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the asset’s life.)

Answers

Answer:

1) depreciation expense per year = $146,500

2) net income:

years 1 - 4 = $149,450

net cash flows:

year 0 = -$620,000

year 1 = $295,950

year 2 = $295,950

year 3 = $295,950

year 4 = $329,950

3) payback period = 2.09 years

4) accounting rate of return = 24.1%

5) net present value (NPV) = $483,330.83

Explanation:

purchase cost of the machine $620,000

depreciation expense per year = ($620,000 - $34,000) / 4 = $146,500

expected annual sales $2,190,000

direct materials $494,000

direct labor $686,000

overhead (excluding depreciation) $476,000

S&A expenses $174,000

total costs (excluding depreciation) = $1,830,000

income taxes 30%

net income per year = ($2,190,000 - $1,830,000 - $146,500) x 70% = $149,450

net cash flow (years 1 - 3) = $149,450 + $146,500 = $295,950

net cash flow (year 4) = $149,450 + $146,500 + $34,000 = $329,950

payback period = $620,000 / $295,950 = 2.09 years

accounting rate of return = $149,450 / $620,000 = 24.1%

NPV, using a financial calculator = $483,330.83

At the beginning of 2023, the Mackinac Company purchased a machine for $510,000 (salvage value of $60,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base. Depreciation has been recorded through 2025. The errors were discovered on 1/10/26; the 2025 books are still open. Correcting journal entries would include what entry to 1/1/25 Retained Earnings?

Answers

Answer:

$10,000 credited

Explanation:

DATA

Machine cost = 510,000

Salvage value = $60,000

Useful life = 6 years

Depreciation = $60,000/6years

Depreciation = $10,000

It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.

Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000

Also note that the "1. Option A 2. Option B 3. Option C" are not actually part of the question.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: This is an example of annuity. An annuity can be described as a series of payments made or income received at equal intervals.

Therefore, the relevant table in the question is the second table, i.e. table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest.

To calculate the present value (PV), the following for formula is used:

PV = ACI * PVA10% ............................ (1)

PV = Present value = ?

ACI = Annual cash inflows = $6,000

PVA = Present value of annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 years = 3.170

Note that the PVA is obtained for year 4 at 10% from the second table as already explained above.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $6,000 * 3.170

PV = $19,020

Therefore, the correct option is option b. $19,020.

Lacy's Linen Mart uses the average cost retail method to estimate inventories. Data for the first six months of 2021 include: beginning inventory at cost and retail were $60,000 and $120,000, net purchases at cost and retail were $312,000 and $480,000, and sales during the first six months totaled $490,000. The estimated inventory at June 30, 2021, would be:

Answers

Answer: $68,200

Explanation:

Estimated inventory = Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made * Cost Retail Ratio

Retail value of Goods Available for Sale

= Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail price of Purchases

= 120,000 + 480,000

= $600,000

Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made

= 600,000 - 490,000

= $110,000

Cost to retail price ratio

= (Cost of Beginning Inventory + Cost of Purchases) / (Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail Price of Purchases)

= (60,000 + 312,000) / (120,000 + 480,000)

= 62%

Ending inventory

= 110,000 × 62%

= $68,200
