Murray Company reports net income of $728,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 260,000 shares. Compute its basic earning per share.
Answer:
The answer is $2.8
Explanation:
Earnings Per Share(EPS) is the part of company's earnings that goes to each common share owner.
It is calculated as net income minus preferred dividend(if any) / weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Net income equals $728,000
Weighted-average common shares outstanding equals 260,000 shares
Therefore, basic earning per share is
$728,000 /260,000
= $2.8
Suppose the demand and supply curves for eggs in the United
States are given by the following equations:
Qd = 100 - 20P
Qs = 10 + 40P
where Qd = millions of dozens of eggs Americans would like to
buy each year; Qs = millions of dozens of eggs U.S. farms
would like to sell each year; and P = price per dozen of eggs.
Fill in the following table:
Price Quantity Quantity
( Per Dozen) Demanded (Qd) Supplied (Qs)
$ .50
$ 1.00
$ 1.50
$ 2.00
$ 2.50
Answer: Please find answers in explanation column
Explanation:
Given
Qd = 100 - 20P
Qs = 10 + 40P
Price Quantity Quantity Quantity
( Per Dozen) Demanded (Qd) Supplied (Qs)
$ .50 90 30
$ 1.00 80 50
$ 1.50 70 70
$ 2.00 60 90
$ 2.50 50 110
Calculation
at price = $0.50
Qd = 100 - 20P = 100 - 20 x (0.50) =100-10 =90
Qs = 10 + 40P= 10 + 40 x (0.50)=10+ 20 = 30
at price = $1.00
Qd = 100 - 20P = 100 - 20 x (1.00) =100-20 =80
Qs = 10 + 40P= 10 + 40 x (1.00)=10+ 40 = 50
at price = $1.50
Qd = 100 - 20P = 100 - 20 x (1.50) =100-30 =70
Qs = 10 + 40P= 10 + 40 x (1.50)=10+ 60 = 70
at price = $2.00
Qd = 100 - 20P = 100 - 20 x (2.00) =100-40 =60
Qs = 10 + 40P= 10 + 40 x (2.00)=10+ 80 = 90
at price = $2.50
Qd = 100 - 20P = 100 - 20 x (2.50) =100-50=50
Qs = 10 + 40P= 10 + 40 x (2.50)=10+ 100 = 110
The Smith Company manufactures insulated windows. Costs for March were as follows. Direct labor $53,000 Indirect labor 18,000 Salary of corporate vice president for advertising 25,000 Direct materials 48,000 Indirect materials 4,000 Interest expense 7,500 Salary of factory supervisor 3,000 Insurance on manufacturing equipment 2,000 What is Smith Company's actual manufacturing overhead for March?
Answer:
$27,000
Explanation:
The following costs were incurred by Smith's company during the month of March
Direct labor $53,000
Indirect labor 18,000
Salary of corporate vice president for advertising 25,000
Direct materials 48,000
Indirect materials 4,000
Interest expense 7,500
Salary of factory supervisor 3,000 Insurance on manufacturing equipment 2,000
Therefore the actual manufacturing overhead for March can be calculated as follows
= Indirect labour + indirect materials + salary of factory supervisor + insurance on manufacturing equipments
= $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 + $2,000
= $27,000
Hence the actual manufacturing overhead for March is $27,000
Since bond market values are expressed as a percentage of their bond value, a $1,000 bond that is being sold at 93 would be trading at $ __________.
Answer: $930
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that bond market values are expressed as a percentage of their bond value and are further told that a $1,000 bond that is being sold at 93.
Therefore, the bond will be trading at:
= $1000 × 93%
= $1000 × 0.93
= $930
Baldwin Corp. ended the year carrying $19,196,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Baldwin Corp.?
Answer: $19,196,000
Explanation:
As this is the end of the year it means that all costs associated with selling inventory have already been incurred and accounted for.
The total revenue that Baldwin would have received had they sold off all their inventory would be the inventory worth of $19,196,000 because there are no more costs to be deducted from it as they have all been deducted already.
Net income is shown on the end-of-period spreadsheet in the Income Statement debit column and the Balance Sheet credit column.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
It is True because net income is shown in the Balance sheet as a credit account as it increases the revenues and as a debit column in the Income Statement of the end-of-period spreadsheet.
This entry is reversed for the net loss. It would be shown as a debit column in the Balance Sheet ( indicating an expense/ a loss) and as a credit column in the income statement.
The net income is shown as a debit column in the Income Statement of the end-of-period spreadsheet indicating that the credits ( revenues) are more than the debits ( expenses) and we get the balance of the income after deducting the expenses from the revenues. It is entered above the debit totals.
8. Blue Cab Company had 50,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 20,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 5,000 shares exercisable at $10 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $13 while the average price for the year was $12. The company reported net income in the amount of $269,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$4.10
Explanation:
total weighted stocks:
January 1 = 50,000 x 12/12 = 50,000
April 1 = 20,000 x 9/12 = 15,000
total = 65,000
diluted stocks = 5,000 - (5,000 x 10) / 12 = 833.33 ≈ 833
net income = $269,915
diluted EPS = net income - preferred dividends / (weighted common stocks + diluted stocks) = $269,915 / (65,000 + 833) = $4.0999 = $4.10
What would happen if your boss at the bookstore asked you to decrease some of the business' variable costs
Answer: d.You would find less expensive designer for the store’s advertising posters.
Explanation:
Going by the options give, the best option would be D. This is because option A talks about location which is a fixed cost while b talks about the business insurance policy which is also a fixed cost. Option C is about the internet service provider which is also another fixed cost.
Option D however is not a fixed cost as it relates to advertising. Advertising is a variable cost and so in obeying the directive from the boss, this is the cost that would need to be reduced by finding a less expensive designer.
After Xavier and Alyssa deposited nearly $55,000 in a savings account at Bigbux Bank, the bank failed and filed for bankruptcy. Because the Bigbux was an FDIC member bank, Xavier and Alyssa:_______
Answer: should be protected due to the fact that their account is insured by FDIC.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that after Xavier and Alyssa deposited nearly $55,000 in a savings account at Bigbux Bank, the bank failed and filed for bankruptcy but that the Bigbux was an FDIC member bank.
Based on the above scenario, Xavier and Alyssa should be protected due to the fact that their account is insured by FDIC. Since the bank is insured, their money is safe.
Answer:
Should be okay because their account is fully insured by the FDIC
Explanation:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an agency that was formed to protect depositors of US depository organisations.
They provide a standard deposit insurance amount of $250,000 per account for each insured bank and for each account ownership category.
So for example if a client owns multiple savings accounts there will be coverage of $250,000 for all accounts in this category.
In this scenario Xavier and Alyssa are covered because their account balance is below $250,000.
A company sells 5,000 units at $25 each. If the variable costs are $35,00, what is the contribution margin ratio
The figure for the variable costs of the company is wrong. The correct figure for variable cost is $35000.
A company sells 5,000 units at $25 each. If the variable costs are $35,000 what is the contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
Contribution Margin ratio = 0.72 or 72%
Explanation:
The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of sales revenue that is contributed towards covering the fixed costs of the business. The contribution margin ratio is calculated by subtracting the total variable costs by the sales revenue and expressing it as a percentage of sales revenue. Thus, the formula is,
Contribution Margin ratio = (Sales Revenue - Variable costs ) / Sales Revenue
The sales revenue is = 5000 * 25 = 125000
Contribution Margin ratio = (125000 - 35000) / 125000
Contribution Margin ratio = 0.72 or 72%
If Management was not concerned with the time value of money, from which two capital budgeting methods should they choose?
Answer:
ARR or Payback
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question
Multiple Choice
BET or IRR
ARR or Payback
NPV or IRR
NPV or Payback
BET or NPV
Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
The NPV and IRR considers the time value of money by discounting the cash flow at discount rate.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
Find the present value that will grow to $45,000 if interest is 3.6% compounded monthly for 1 year.
Answer:
43,411.15
Explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1 +I) ^n
From the question,
A = 45,000
P = Unknown
I = 0.036 ÷ 12
n = 1 * 12
Therefore,
45,000 = P(1 +0.036/12) ^1 *12
45,000 = P(1.003)^12
45,000 = 1.0365998P
P = 43,411.15
The market capitalization rate on the stock of Aberdeen Wholesale Company is 12%. Its expected ROE is 14%, and its expected EPS is $3. If the firm's plowback ratio is 80%, its P/E ratio will be _________.
Answer:
100
Explanation:
The market capitalization rate is 12%
= 12\100
= 0.12
Its expected ROE is 14%
= 14/100
= 0.14
The expected EPS is $3
The Plow back ratio is 80%
= 80/100
= 0.8
The first step is to calculate the dividend payout ratio
= 1-0.8
= 0.2
The expected dividend can be calculated as follows
=0.8×3
= $2.4
The growth rate can be calculated as
follows
= 0.8×0.14
= 0.112×100
= 112%
The value can be calculated as follows
= 2.4/0.12-0.112
= 2.4/0.008
= 300%
Therefore, the P/E ratio can be calculated as follows
= 300/3
= 100
Milton Friedman argued that the economy is not in long-run equilibrium if the expected inflation rate __________ the actual inflation rate.
Answer: d.a and b
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the general rise in the price of goods and services in the economy and when stable can be considered good for the economy as it signifies that the country's economy is growing.
Milton Friedman argued that for an economy to be in long run equilibrium, the expected inflation rate must be equal to the actual inflation rate. If the expected rate is either lower or higher than the actual rate then the economy is not in equilibrium.

Your customer wants to buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock and has entered a not-held order with instructions to you to purchase the stock when you feel the price looks right. Under the rules, this order will be treated as
Answer:
Day order
Explanation:
This is a not held order which must be executed during that trading day. When a customer instructs their trader to execute a not-held order, they are valid only for that day. The exceptions to this rule would require that the customer specifically states a certain time period. Not held orders are instructions to buy or sell securities when the trader believes that the price is right.

In a portfolio of three randomly selected stocks, which of the following could NOT be true; i.e., which statement is false?
a. The beta of the portfolio is lower than the lowest of the three betas
b. The beta of the porfolio is higher than the highest ofthe three betas
c. The riskiness of the portfolio is greater than the riskiess ofoneor two of the stocks.
d. The riskiness of the portfolio is less than the riskiness of each of the stocks if they were held in isolation
e. The beta of the portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual stocks' betas.
Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas
Explanation:
The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.
For instance.
3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.
A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.
The portfolio beta will be;
= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)
= 1.98
Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.

On January 1, 2019, Park Company accepted a $36,000, non-interest-bearing, 3-year note from a major customer in exchange for used equipment. The equipment had originally cost Park $200,000 and had a book value of $20,000 on the date of the sale. At the 12% imputed interest rate for this type of loan, the present value of the note is $25,500 on January 1, 2019. Park uses the effective interest rate. What is the carrying value of the note receivable on Park’s December 31, 2019, balance sheet?
Answer:
$28,560
Explanation:
Calculation for the carrying value of the note receivable on Park’s December 31, 2019, balance sheet
Using this formula
Carrying value of note receivable =Present value of the note +(Imputed interest rate ×Present value of the note )
Let plug in the formula
Carrying value of note receivable=$25,500+(12%×$25,500)
Carrying value of note receivable=$25,500+$3,060
Carrying value of note receivable=$28,560
Therefore the carrying value of the note receivable on Park’s December 31, 2019, balance sheet will be $28,560

A bond has a par value of $1,000, a current yield of 6.453 percent, annual interest payments, and 8 years to maturity. The bond quote is $929.76. What is the amount of each coupon payment?
a. $30.00
b. $32.27
c. $60.00
d. $62.50
e. $64.53
Answer:
Annual coupon payment = $599.97
Explanation:
Current yield = 6.453%
Price of bond = Bond quote / 100 * par value
Price of bond = 929.76 / 100 * 1000
Price of bond = 9297.6
The formula for current yield is: Current yield = annual coupon payment / bond price
6.453% = Annual coupon payment / 9297.6
Annual coupon payment = 6.453% * 9297.6
Annual coupon payment = 599.974128
Annual coupon payment = $599.97
Jessica weighs 125 lbs. She rode a bike at 17 mph for 25 minutes. What is the calorie cost of this activity?
Answer: 178 calories
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Jessica weighs 125 lbs and that she rode a bike at 17 mph for 25 minutes. It should be noted that 17 mph is thesame as 0.057 cal/lb/min.
Therefore, the calorie cost of this activity will be:
= 0.057 x 125 = 7.125
We then multiply 7.125 by the number of minutes used. This will be:
= 7.125 x 25
= 178 calories
Acme company has a mission statement that is open to interpretation. Many stakeholders identify with it. Their mission statement is
Answer:
The correct answer will be "Ambiguous ".
Explanation:
Ambiguous statements were indeed incredibly beneficial if there is no intended audience for a particular model or whether the manufacturer is uncertain whether that would respond to. For example, in their advertising, another advertiser can sometimes demand a second commodity "new," and while it can indicate different meanings for a different individual, it is generally perceived favorably.So that the above is the correct response.
Assuming no direct factory overhead costs (i.e., inventory carry costs) and $3 million dollars in combined promotion and sales budget, the Dell product manager wishes to achieve a product contribution margin of 35%. Given their product currently is priced at $35.00, what would they need to limit the material and labor costs to? Select: 1Save Answer $22.75 $24.50 $21.00 $23.00
Answer:
$22.75
Explanation:
Calculation for what they need to limit the material and labor costs
Using this formula
Limits for material and labor costs =Product price-(Contribution margin percentage ×Product price)
Let plug in the formula
Limits for material and labor costs=$35-(35%×$35)
Limits for material and labor costs=$35-$12.25
Limits for material and labor costs=$22.75
Therefore what they need to limit the material and labor costs will be $22.75
