The net income available to stockholders is $230,000. The beginning number of common shares outstanding was 100,000. The ending number of common shares outstanding was 150,000. What is the earnings per share
Answer:
$1.84
Explanation:
The formula for earning per share (EPS) is given as;
= Net income of the company / Average outstanding shares of the company
Given that ;
Net income = $230,000
Average outstanding shares = (100,000 + 150,000) / 2
= 125,000
Therefore,
EPS = $230,000 / 125,000
= $1.84
A company purchased equipment and signed a 6-year installment loan at 8% annual interest. The annual payments equal $9,400. The present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 8% is 4.6229. The present value of a single sum factor for 6 years at 8% is .6302. The present value of the loan is:_________.
a. $9,400.
b. $5,924.
c. $14,916.
d. $56,400.
e. $43,455.
Answer: e. $43,455
Explanation:
Annual payments are constant so this is an annuity. To calculate the present value of an annuity, multiply the annity by the present value of an annuity factor corresponding with its discount rate and number of periods.
Present value of loan = 9,400 * present value of an annuity factor, 6 years, 8%
= 9,400 * 4.6229
= $43,455.26
= $43,455

An investor believes that the price of a stock, say IBM's shares, will increase in the next 60 days. If the investor is correct, which combination of the following investment strategies will show a profit in all the choices?
(i) - buy the stock and hold it for 60 days
(ii) - buy a put option
(ii) - sell (write) a call option
(iv) - buy a call option
(v) - sell (write) a put option
A. (i), (ii), and (iii)
B. (ii) (i), (ii), and (iv)
C. (i), (iv), and (v)
D. (ii) and (iii)
Answer:
C. (i), (iv), and (v)
Explanation:
(i) - buy the stock and hold it for 60 days
This step is quite natural since buying at lower price and selling at higher price will give profit .
(iv) - buy a call option
In option we do not buy stocks but we buy the right to buy a stock on a predetermined price . For it we give some price for it . It is called premium . As price of stock goes up the premium goes up . So the option premium acts as price of stock , though it does not involve much money . So it is a less investment option . By selling the option at higher premium we can earn income .
v ) An option seller receives money from the buyer in the beginning . So when price rises , the option will not be exercised by the buyer so the seller receives money and earns income as option premium .
Economic research "consistently" finds that immigration negatively impacts the average American wage. "false"

The management of Heider Corporation is considering dropping product J14V. Data from the company's accounting system appear below:
Sales: $980,000
Variable expenses: $394,000
Fixed manufacturing expenses: $376,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses : $256,000
In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $245,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $206,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product J14V is discontinued. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product J14V were dropped?
Answer:
financial disadvantage of dropping product J14V = $135,000, so net operating income would decrease by that amount
Explanation:
net loss generated by product J14V = $980,000 - $394,000 - $376,000 - $256,000 = ($46,000)
unavoidable fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing expenses = $376,000 - $245,000 = $131,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $256,000 - $206,000 = $50,000
total unavoidable fixed costs = $181,000
the overall effect = total unavoidable fixed costs - net loss = $181,000 - (-$46,000) = $135,000 financial disadvantage since unavoidable costs are higher than current losses

2. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the contribution margin method.
3. Calculate the required sales in dollars to earn the target profit using the contribution margin ratio method.
4. Calculate the required sales in units to break even using the contribution margin method.
Answer:
1. 100 units
2. 300 units
3. $30,000
4. 100 units
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A furniture manufacturer specializes in wood tables. The tables sell for $100 per unit and incur $40 per unit in variable costs. The company has $6000 in fixed costs per month. The company desires to earn an operating profit of $12000 per month.
1. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the equation method.
2. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the contribution margin method.
3. Calculate the required sales in dollars to earn the target profit using the contribution margin ratio method.
4. Calculate the required sales in units to break even using the contribution margin method.
The explanation to the answers is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the equation method.
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Target profit = Net sales revenue - Total variable cost - Total fixed cost ....... (1)
Where, by letting q denotes quantity sold;
Target profit = $12,000 per month
Net sales revenue = Selling price per unit * quantity sold = $100 * q = 100q
Total variable cost = Variable cost per unit * quantity sold = $40 * q = 40q
Total fixed cost = $6,000 per month
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for q, we have:
$12,000 = $100q - $40q - $6,000
$12,000 - $6,000 = $60q
$6,000 = $60q
q = $6,000 / $60
q = 100 units.
2. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the contribution margin method.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit = $100 - $40 = $60
Required sales in units to earn the target profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit = ($6,000 + $12,000) / $60 = $18,000 / $60 = 300 units
3. Calculate the required sales in dollars to earn the target profit using the contribution margin ratio method.
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Selling price per unit = $60 / $100 = 0.60, or 60%
Required sales in dollars to earn the target profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio = ($6,000 + $12,000) / 0.60 = $18,000 / 0.60 = $30,000
4. Calculate the required sales in units to break even using the contribution margin method.
Sales in units to break even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit = $6,000 / $60 = 100 units
Fireside Inc. has the following data. What is the firm's cash conversion cycle? ( Please Show Work)
Inventory conversion period 38 days
Average collection period 19 days
Payables deferral period 20 days

Fireside incorporation has the following data
Inventory conversion period = 38 days
Average collection period = 19 days
Payables deferral period = 20 days
Therefore the firm's cash conversion cycle can be calculated as follows
= 38 days + 19 days - 20 days
= 57 days - 20 days
= 37 days
Hence the firm's cash conversion cycle is 37 days
Selected current year company information follows: Net income $ 17,753 Net sales 730,855 Total liabilities, beginning-year 101,932 Total liabilities, end-of-year 121,201 Total stockholders' equity, beginning-year 216,935 Total stockholders' equity, end-of-year 148,851 The return on total assets is
Answer:
6.03%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on total assets
First step will be to find the assets at the beginning using this formula
Beginning year Assets =Beginning Total liabilities + Beginning Stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
Beginning year Assets=$101,932 + $216,935
Beginning year Assets=$318,867
Second step is to find the end of the year asset using this formula
End of the year assets = Ending Total liabilities + Ending Stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
End of the year assets=$121,201 + $148,851
End of the year assets = $270,052
Last step is to calculate for the return on total assets using this formula
Return on total assets = Net income/Average of total assets,
Let find the Total asset averages
Using this formula
Total asset averages=(Beginning year Assets+End of the year assets)/2
Let plug in the formula
Total asset averages($318,867 + $270,052)/2 Total asset averages=$588,919/2
Total asset averages= $294,459.50
Hence,
Return on total assets = Net income/Average of total assets
Return on total assets=$ 17,753/294,459.50
Return on total assets=0.0603
Return on total assets=6.03%
Therefore the return on total assets will be 6.03%
Economic conditions are a ______ predictor of U.S. presidential election outcomes. a. fair b. poor c. volatile d. good

Assume that markets are not efficient and that you will earn the average return of an active investor if you pick stocks. How should you choose between active and passive investments and why
Answer with Explanation:
If the markets are not efficient then there higher probability that the investor can earn from the price fluctuations because the markets are not valuation is different. The investor would be spending money on gaining the benefit of price fluctuations which will be for short term only and he will be acting in time to continuously earn money from the fluctuation.
The investors and financial institutions will master the quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis of the price changes to guess where will be the change going to happen and we must take advantage of it.
The passive investment is the investment which the management intents to hold for a longer period to benefit from it. If the markets are not efficient then it is useless to hold an passive investment. Rather holding a passive investment it would be better to hold an active investment which benefit more as we will be beating the market by price differences. The possession of passive investment is less expensive as apposed to active investments because less fee is charged by the broker. Active investment would be risky investment because we will continuously gaining and loosing money.
The financial advisers opt to creating a portfolio of active and passive investments to lower the unsystematic risk and increase the gain limit to average return.

Give at least one example that you believe demonstrates when the cost of government actions outweighs the benefits.
Answer: The creation of a government set price for gasoline by ni government.
Explanation:
In 1970 president Nixon inteoduced a soft artificial price ceiling on gasoline in the United States. This was as a result of the OPEC crisis of 1970s. It is a good example of scenerios where the cost of government action outweighs the benefits. this was due to the creation of the government-set price which would cause the quantity demanded to be more than the quantity supplied because gasoline was cheaper now.
