Therefore, option 'C' is odd because Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) is the only body responsible for promulgating accounting principles.
If the expected ROE on reinvested earnings is equal to k, the multistage DDM reduces to:_______A. VO= (Market return in year 1)/k. B. VO= (Treasury bond yield in year 1)/k. C. VO= (expected dividend yield in year 1)/k. D. VO= (expected EPS in year 1)/k.
Answer:
VO = ( expected EPS in year 1 )/k ( D )
Explanation:
The multistage DDM reduces to, VO = ( expected EPS in year 1 )/k, The expected ROE on reinvested earnings been equal to K shows that the ROE is constant. since it is constant the value on returned earnings would be zero.
this simply means that EPS = DPS
Why are valuations of privatized businesses previously owned by the governments of developing countries more difficult than valuations of existing firms in developed countries? Name and explain the seven reasons.
Answer of Explanation:
Following are seven reasons why valuation of privatized businesses are more difficult in a developing country:
Future cash flows can not be estimated accurately and its competitors might be far away or their might be no competitor in this market.Developing countries don't have sufficient data related to industry players operating in the area of firm that has to be valuated. The data that will be missing would be the market share and market growth etc.The exchange rate will be changing very significantly that it poses significant question mark on the accuracy of the valuation of business.The level and type of funding that can be used to flourish business is doubtful. This means we don't know if anyone is willing to lend us money and how much the lending will cost to the company.The risk associated with the business is also doubtful.The economic situation are uncertain which means we don't know the future of the business.The part of business might be controlled by the government which might result in a control conflict in the future.The average total cost of producing electronic calculators in a factory is $10 at the current output level of 260 units per week. If fixed cost is $880 per week, then what is the firm's variable cost? (enter answer as just a number no commas, dollar signs or the like).
Answer:
6.62
Explanation:
total production costs = total output x average total cost per unit = 260 calculators x $10 per unit = $2,600
total fixed costs = $880
total variable costs = total production costs - total fixed costs = $2,600 - $880 = $1,720
variable cost per unit = total variable costs / total output = $1,720 / 260 calculators = $6.61538 = $6.62 per unit
Brandon, a U.S. manager, is on a business trip in Tokyo meeting with a group of executives. Brandon receives a gift from one of the Japanese executives. What should Brandon most likely do?
Answer: B) open the gift in private
Explanation:
One of the advantages of globalizaton is that we get to learn about the customs of different societies so that we may appreciate and respect them.
In the above scenario, Brandon should open the gift in private because it is a norm in Japan that when a gift is given to you in the presence of people, it should be opened in private.
This is to avoid embarrassment in case the gift is not up to standard. It also helps to avoid comparison in the case of multiple gifts especially when given to people of different status.

The Jennings Group reacquired 2 million of its shares at $50 per share as treasury stock. Last year, for the first time, Jennings sold 1 million treasury shares at $51 per share. If Jennings now sells the remaining 1 million treasury shares at $47 per share, by what amount will retained earnings decline
Answer: $2,000,000
Explanation:
Treasury stock is simply a stock that is bought back by a company while retained earnings are cumulative profit that a company makes after dividends has been paid out.
From the question, gain per share will be: $51 - $50 = $1
Therefore, there will be increase in retained earnings by $1 million.
The deficit per share will be:
= $47 - $50 = $-3
The amount that is declined in the retained earnings will now be:
= $-3 × 1,000,000
= $-3 million
The amount by which retained earnings will decline will be:
= $3,000,000 - $1,000,000
= $2,000,000

Natalie and Curtis have been experiencing great demand for their cookies and muffins. As a result, they are now thinking about buying a commercial oven. They know which oven they want and that it will cost $17,000. The company already has $5,000 set aside for the purchase and will need to borrow the rest.
Natalie and Curtis met with a bank manager to discuss their options. She is willing to lend Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. $12,000 on November 1, 2017, for a period of 3 years at a 5% interest rate. The terms provide for fixed principal payments of $2,000, on May 1 and November 1 of each year plus 6 months of interest. Determine the current portion of the note payable and the long-term portion of the note payable at October 31, 2018.
Answer:
Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc.
a) Current Portion of Note Payable:
= $4,000
b) Long-term Portion of Note Payable:
= $6,000
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Date of Note Payable = November 1, 2017
Period = 3 years
Interest rate = 5%
Terms of payment:
Fixed principal payments = $2,000
Payment dates = May 1 and November 1
Each year's principal repayment = $4,000 ($2,000 x 2)
From November 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 = $4,000
At October 31, 2018, Payment made = $2,000 on May 1
Remaining Note payable = $10,000 ($12,000 - $2,000)
Current Portion = $4,000 ($2,000 x 2)
Long-term Portion = $6,000
b) The current portion of $4,000 will be payable on November 1, 2018 and May 1, 2019. The current portion represents the short-term portion of the note payable, which is the portion that will be settled within a 12-months' period. Since Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. had already paid $2,000 on May 1, 2018, the long-term portion will only remain $6,000 ($12,000 - $2,000 - $4,000), which is the difference between the total note payable, the portion paid on May 1, 2018, and the current portion of $4,000 that will be payable within one year.
A Bond With An Annual Coupon Rate Of 55% Sells For $970. What Is The Bond’s "current Yield"?

(a) Argue whether or not a firm should continue production if its MR is lower than its AVC. (b) Support your argument with explanations.
Answer: A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC.
Explanation:
The goal of every firm is to minimize cost and also maximize profits and therefore the firm will operate at the output level where the marginal revenue and the marginal cost equates.
A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC. Here, the firm will incur a higher loss during production as producing will not offset the variable cost. Therefore, it's better to shut down.
Refer to Scenario 14-4. When the firm increases its output from 150 units to 151 units, its marginal cost is
Answer: $32.05
Explanation:
Marginal Cost is the Cost of producing one extra unit.
The total cost of producing 150 units is;
Total = Units * average cost
= 150 * 24.50
= $3,675
Total cost of producing 151 units
= 151 * 24.55
= $3,707.05
Difference = 3,707.05 - 3,675
= $32.05
alley Spa purchased $10,800 in plumbing components from Tubman Co. Valley Spa signed a 60-day, 10% promissory note for $10,800. If the note is dishonored, but Tubman intends to continue collection efforts, what is the journal entry to record the dishonored note
Answer: Please see explanation column for answer
Explanation:
Interest amount =Principal (note amount) x rate x period
= $10,800 x 10% x 60/360 = $180
journal entry to record the dishonored note
Account Debit Credit
Account receivable - valley spa $10,980
Interest Revenue $180
Notes receivable $10,800
Account receivable= $10,800 +$180 =$10,980
Here, the company intends to continue with collection efforts, so the amount would be classified as the dishonored note as part of accounts receivable by Debiting the accounts receivable which would be the total of the principle and interest owed also crediting the notes receivable account for the principle amount and the interest revenue account for the interest amount.
Tyson Inc. is currently trading at $18 per share. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $1.63/per share next year. The dividend is expected to growth 2.5% per year into perpetuity, and the cost of equity is currently 10.5%. Using Gordon growth what is the present value of Tyson Inc, and given you answer should you buy or sell the stock
Answer:
$20.38 buy
Explanation:
The computation of present value is shown below:-
Fair Value according to Gordon Model = Expected Div ÷ (Required Return - Growth rate)
= $1.63 ÷ (10.5% - 2.5%)
= $1.63 ÷ 8%
= $20.38
Fair Price = $ 20.38 and Actual Price = $18.00
As Fair Price is greater than the Actual Price so, the stock is under priced. Therefore advice to buy.
Curtis Corporation's noncallable bonds currently sell for $1,165. They have a 15-year maturity, an annual coupon of $95, and a par value of $1,000. What is their yield to maturity
Answer:
The answer is 7.61%
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 15 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $1,165
PMT( coupon payment) = $95
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 15; PV = -1165; PMT = 95; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 7.61
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond is 7.61%
Which of the following statements concerning income tax rate structures is false?
a) Under a progressive rate structure, the marginal rate and the average rate are equal
b) Under a regressive rate structure, the average rate for low-income individuals is more than the average rate for high-income individuals
c) Under either a regressive, proportionate or progressive rate structure, high-income taxpayers pay more dollars of tax than low-income individuals
d) In theory, a progressive rate structure results in equal economic sacrifice across taxpayers
e) Under a proportional tax system the average tax rate and the marginal tax rate are equal.
Answer:
a) Under a progressive rate structure, the marginal rate and the average rate are equal
Explanation:
There are basically three types of tax structure which are as follows
1. A regressive tax levied the similar percentage in the goods that are purchased irrespective of the income of the buyer it would not be good for the poor earners
2. A proportional tax levied the similar tax rate for all types of individuals irrespective of the income
3. A progressive tax levied the high percentage who has higher income as they can afford to pay more and the lower percentage for the lower income and vice versa.
So based on the given options, the option A is false and hence the same is to be considered
There are zero coupon bonds outstanding that have a YTM of 6.09 percent and mature in 17 years. The bonds have a par value of $10,000. If we assume semiannual compounding, what is the price of the bonds?
Answer:
$3,606.49
Explanation:
the price of a zero coupon bond = maturity value / (1 + i)ⁿ
maturity value = $10,000i = 6.09% / 2 = 3.045% semiannual interest raten = 17 years x 2 semiannual compounding = 34 periodsthe price of a zero coupon bond = $10,000 / (1 + 3.045%)³⁴ = $10,000 / 1.03045³⁴ = $10,000 / 2.772779928 = $3,606.49
the formula we used to determine the market price of a zero coupon bond is basically the present value

11. If 8,000 units are produced, what is the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost incurred to support this level of production
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Martinez company's relevant range production is 7,500 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:-
Average cost per unit
Direct materials $7.00
Direct labor $4.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $4.00
Fixed selling expense $4.00
Fixed administrative expense $2.10
Sales commissions $1.10
Variable administrative expense $0.55
If 8,000 units are produced,
a) what is the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost incurred to support this level of production
b) What is this total amount expressed on a per unit basis
Answer:
a) the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost incurred to support this level of production is $51,200
b) What is this total amount expressed on a per unit basis is $6.40
Explanation:
a)
Given that;
number of units produced is 8,000 units
Variable manufacturing overhead is $1.40
Variable manufacturing overhead cost will be units produced / Variable manufacturing overhead
so Variable manufacturing overhead cost = 8000 units × $1.40 = $11,200
Now Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = 10000 units × $4 = $ 40,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost is the addition of Variable manufacturing overhead cost and Fixed manufacturing overhead cost
$11,200 + $40,000 = $51,200
b)
Number of units produced = 8,000
therefore Manufacturing overhead per unit = Total manufacturing overhead cost / Number of units produced
51,200 / 8,000 = $6.40
